The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name: tcoldiron1 

Company Name: TEAM NAKAMOTO

Company Slogan: 

What We Do: NO|OBSTACLES Athletic Apparel Company is seeking a logo design for one of its star athletes. The TEAM NAKAMOTO logo must be equal to something NIKE, UNDER ARMOUR or DC Shoes would produce for one of their athletes. The winning design will be worn by one of the athletes that competes in the NBC American Ninja Warrior competition and worn by the fans who support the athlete. The TEAM NAKAMOTO design must be sports/fitness minded. What not to include in this design: We will not accept any designs that have a Ninja, Karate, Martial Arts feel. So once again I will say, The design must be sporty and athletic (an extreme sports vibe is okay). If you think of it as designing this for NIKE or UNDER ARMOUR, you will be highly considered. IMPORTANT: THE DESIGN MUST BE VECTOR ARTWORK CREATED ONLY IN ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR.

Industry Type: Sports

Top Three Things to Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 Athlete

#2 Power

#3 Stregth

Our Target Audience:

The target demographics for this design will be both male and female age 16 to 35 who lead an active, athletic lifestyle. The target audience is into sports and fitness who have an interest in extreme sports including Parkour, Freerunning, and Obstacle racing. The audience that will see this design are the athletes and fans of the NBC television show "American Ninja Warrior" If your not familiar with this sport you can search it on YouTube. The design must be vector format created with Adobe Illustrator.

We like these colors:

The design will be printed on a Navy Blue T-Shirt so consider that as one color. The actual design itself can only be 1 or 2 contrasting colors that work with Navy Blue. Such as: Red, White, Gray, or Green. A good example would be to Google search the Team Colors for the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Or New England Patriots football teams.

Great day everyone. The designs are starting to look AMAZING. Thank you for your patience and professionalism in working back and forth as we work at making all the designs look the best. It is going to be a tough decision. The rankings are not set in stone, I'm using the rankings to look at designs side by side.

UPDATE: For inspiration in what we are looking for, please visit NIKE, UNDER ARMOUR, DC Shoes, and other athletic brands study what they are designing for their T-Shirts.

It is also acceptable to create a silhouette of an athlete jumping. But it cannot one that is already copyrighted.

UPDATE: Hello Designers! My bad, I forgot to also point out that we are not seeking a TN logo. If you want to include a graphic or other artwork it would be acceptable to use the two Japanese symbols I posted in the image samples.

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!
