The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  Tactical Wood Worker

Company Name: Tactical Wood Works

Company Slogan: 

Description and What We Do: I was in Navy Special Operations for 24 years and have now put down the guns, knives, ammo, and explosives and have picked up wood working tools (Chisels, Japanese saws, planers, etc). Designing anything from small custom boxes to furniture and slabs. I want the logo to stand apart from basic woodworking logos and embrace my Special Operations background. Whereas a Special Ops logo would have a bad dude with night vision goggles, guns and skulls on it, I want this logo to be similar but embracing the woodworking culture, especially wood jointing . Think Special Operations Woodworker...

Industry Type: Furniture and Decorating

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 Capture my Special Operations background

#2 Utilize woodworking tools

#3 I want the logo to communicate PRECISION joints (Dovetail, box, mortise and tenon, many to choose from)

Updated my top 5. Last chance to finalize any submissions from those 4 designers. I definitely want it CLEAN because it will be burned into wood. I will give 24 hours for any final submissions and then pick a winner. I like the top 5 but not sold on the font on all of them and would prefer end grain for the bottom end if possible. Contact me for any specific direction on your logos. Thx!

Great submissions so far everyone! Thank you!

I have a slogan I would like to add but only if it looks good.

Slogan "Cutting Corners to make Ends Meet"

Please review my top 10 for details and colors I like. Thx!

Trees, just to clear things up. I stated I do not like Christmas trees because some entries literally put a Christmas tree by itself. I DO like the forest pics that were used in the early entries more than the latest entries. I cannot name the entries. Sorry for the confusion…

Thank you for all the entries so far! This is a fun process...

So everyone is on the same page, the logo is for "Tactical Wood Works" not Wood Worker.

I want more subtle details IF they blend well: examples below
-Maybe instead of a bullet, just use the end of a shell casing like a .50 cal. Don't mind a bullet if it fits
- Sniper scope hidden somewhere
- Wood Joints/ screws but not to be overdone
-

Things I like:
- Trees that don't look exactly like Christmas Trees
- Brown and green
- End Grain
- Tools specifically the saws I mentioned in another post, chisels, hand planes, and wood mallets (not hammers)

Things I don't like:
- Regular framing hammers, prefer wood mallets
- Christmas trees
- Grass
- Regular hand saws, prefer Japanese

***Bottom Line, I like the details! Thank you to those that are adding them, I appreciate it!

*** I like the look of Ryoba or Kataba Japanese hand saws instead of a basic hammer.
*** Also would like to see more wood joints incorporated in the design or even the font itself. Types for example (Dovetails, tongue and groove, rabbit, half lap, box joints, etc.
*** I am leaning towards the brown and green for the logo

Thanks!

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 RANKED #1.

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.
