The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  jc227

Company Name: Merrytop

Company Slogan: It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life. (Bilbo Baggins)

Description and What We Do: This is a logo for our home! My wife has named our home Merrytop - and I want to get a simple logo done that we could use as embroidery, or imprints on dishes, linens, napkins, etc around the house

Industry Type: General

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 A welcoming atmosphere to people who enter

#2 attention to nature and simplicity

#3 A gathering place or retreat

Our Target Audience:

"Merrytop" is a fictitious name she thought of, feeding off of the type of names you might hear from the Lord of the Rings books - she's a big fan of the way Hobbits live - focus on nature, gardening, simplicity and welcoming to visitors. We are attaching a few photos of our house including a little 4-box garden she works a lot and is proud of. She is a very creative person who is a writer at an ad agency that she owns.

We Like These Colors:

It IS a house on a slight hill with a greenbelt behind it - though we don't have to force that as an element. She LOVES to light candles all the time, as warm source of light. She values TIDY and clean. Probably not a FULL wordmark, but maybe working with the "M" of Merrytop might lend to an easy house shape? SIMPLE lines and a preference for white space - simple natural colors. My wife's initials are LLC - not a requirement but a possible minor bonus (Laura Lynn Crouch) - not at the expense of simplicity.

AMAZING artists, all of you! UPDATE - We're going to reveal all options to my wife tonight, so she can have the final comment/direction and rankings to make a choice from - should be fun. So later tonight, early tomorrow will come the final rankings and direction, as we close in on this. We are lucky to have so many great choices!

WOW - I LOVE this site- what amazingly talented people! I'll be re-ranking tonight as I've got some feedback from some family, but couple hints about some things we've seen... some who've included a slight arc or circle are really striking a chord as she loves the MOON!

I am not at all ruling out full Name/Word marks as shown that use the full "Merrytop" word - but I've also had in mind maybe some simpler and similar executions to what you're already doing that might just be the "M"? With or without MerryTop as a small identifier...she is really about simple and clean - and she's an ad agency person and would totally get being that simple design-like. REALLY LIKE THE directions I already see here - capturing the tone very well.

I am loving all the creative ideas already! I think showing on WHITE is probably best for evaluation...we will be using this almost exclusively as a print.embroider type execution, to that any background color would just be whatever items she wants to put them on (and she LOVES white).

Will DEFINITELY want a 1-color execution in addition to any color ones - please consider that while designing.

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND SELECTED.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

 

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

 

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!

Please recommend us to your friends and business associates for all of their logo design and web page design needs.
