The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  jnedelman

Company Name: Teakology

Company Slogan: 

Description and What We Do: High end teak wood building products, architectural element and woodworkingDesign Brief Teakology Logo Company Name: Teakology What does name mean? Teakology combines the beauty and characteristics of teak with the artistry of beautiful design to create extremely elegant and expensive custom wood interior spaces. What We Do: We are a designer and supplier of amazing interior spaces. We offer our services to wealthy homeowners that are looking for the most elegant interiors that money can buy. The way it works is customers call us, we come out and look at their space and then we design custom wood doors, beams, cabinetry, panels and anything needed to transform the space into something that is amazing to see and comfortable to live in. The entire process takes several months from consultation to project finish. As an added selling feature, the materials we use in our designs are 100% sustainable from an environmental standpoint and are a very Earth friendly choice for the buyer. What is teak? It is a very strong and durable wood with a compelling visual appeal. In comparison to more common woods, it is rare and expensive. Learn more at Wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teak Target Customers: Very wealthy homeowners that can afford exquisite, custom teak interiors made from one of the most beautiful woods available. Logo Communication: We want the logo to be a simple word form. That means using hand drawn or computer typefaces create a logo out of the word “Teakology”. The design of the typography should balance elegance and simplicity. Logo Design Goals: We don’t want the logo to have box or ellipses or lines that bound the logo nor anything that is not part of the word form itself. We want the logo to be easy to look at and easy to understand and reflect the quality of the brand it represents. We prefer a contemporary feel to the logo much more than anything retro, “old timey”, old west or Victorian. Logo Design Imperatives: Only solid colors. No gradients, no shadows, no fine details. This logo will be used on web and print materials but also monogrammed on clothing and wrapped on trucks. Specific Design Themes To Consider (feel free to pick one or do something unique): • Using an interesting handwriting style or calligraphy, the word “Teakology”. • Using letterforms that reflect an earthy, natural or organic feel break the word up so “Teak” part uses different lettering than the “ology” part which might be more structured and precise. The two parts would form one word with no spaces. • Use a Wood Chisel as part of the T in Teakology. • Make a visual play with the “O” in Teakology to reflect sustainability and recyclability. Much of the teak we use is reclaimed wood from buildings and boats so is technically a recycled material. • Anything original or interesting you can think up. Things we do not want: • Anything with wood grain photo incorporated in the logo but graphical representation of tree rings or wood grain is fine. Just no logos that include photos of wood in shape of word. • We prefer something that does not have fine details or gradients that will not read well from a distance or small. Be strong in your design.

Maybe some actual wood grain would work too???A leaf may be another icon to work with a chisel or sawblade etc.

Having seen this first round it would be interesting to see some play on a Chisel or saw blade or something having to do with wood or woodworking.

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.
