Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?

Fat Kat Cafe'

What type of product or service do you offer?

This is a new concept which is a cafe located in a medical building or high-rise facility that will offer breakfast & lunch (1 hot meal per day, sandwiches, salad bar, etc.) Think Jason's Deli meets Meat + 3.

Consumers will have the ability to place their order online and request a pick-up time or place orders in-house. We are targeting the busy in building professionals that have short break times and really cannot leave the building for lunch.


How long have you been in business?

Opening soon, need logo for business plan and website design

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?

Provide service to busy professionals and make a little money while doing it

What are your long term goals?

Franchise & Catering

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?

We are in the process of creating our business plan and our backers want to see logo, website, menu, etc before reviewing, so ASAP

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience

Who would you like to add to your audience?
Professionals who enjoy a great meal at a reasonable price who are in a hurry during breakfast and lunch

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?

Looking for something high end, with fantastic fonts and a cat of course. Maybe something where the cat is really incorporated in the logo, like the tail making the "C" for cafe or something like that. I want to be able to use the cat separately in our web design and on printed materials. So it needs to be recognizable on its own as well like an icon.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)

Black on tan background - something really clean But I am open to suggestions

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?

A cat definitely - not to cartoon like something more artsy and high end

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?

Luxury, High End

What is your tagline or slogan?

open for suggestions

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?

Eat here

Where will your new logo be used?

Menus, bags, cups, apparel, Web site, Business Cards, etc.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?

In our immediate area it would be powerhouses such as Jason's Deli. There logos are recognizable, and they have a huge reception in our area.

List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?

Since we are smaller we can offer a niche market to those located in house and we are allotted a captive audience.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:

Great Quality Food at Great Price

I am really looking forward to seeing what you can come up with. I am open to anything and will offer construction criticism on any submissions.

For presentation purposes we have a make-shift logo and I thought I would share it with you. It is by no means great, but I thought it would help to see our original concept direction. Again we are open to options and would love to see your creative minds at work

Thanks

Pracus -

First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to consider our project! I know how busy you designers are and you work is greatly appreciated!!

I love the cat, but I am not crazy about the font.

Can you show me some other options?

Thanks
Kristi

Blue Cherry Graphics -

I love where you are going with this, but it is Fat Kat Cafe... we have already registered our domain so we have to stick with the "K" for Cat. I was also thinking something a bit more artsy or abstract for the cat, just to give it a higher end feel... your thoughts and options are appreciated.

p.s. I have seen a ton of your work and I love it! Thanks for taking the time to take a peek at our project.

ok, I understand you'd like to have something lighter. personally I think that that font fits really good to the Kat character but lets try this one.

We have reviewed the submissions thus far, and unfortunately nothing has really blown us away. Currently we are drawn toward the design submitted by Blue Cherry Graphics, but are keeping are options open.

We are looking for something that says trendy, hip, leaning toward the bistro look. The interior of the location will be very bistroesque. High top bistro tables, black, clean lines, etc.

We are getting there, but nothing has really hit the nail on the head.

Thanks
Kristi

We are getting closer.... still waiting for the one that jumps off the screen and says YES that is it! I would like to see a cat that is more Fat & Sassy. I need something that will appeal to men and women, and what I have seen thus far is too cute, not high end upscale.

Keep working away, I know we will get it! I have the utmost faith in all.

We really like the direction shnicherdoodle. Do you have the font Elisa. That is what we used in our sample. We really like it.

Maybe something with the cat walking across the letters. Like the cheishire cat in Alice in Wonderland.

Fat Sassy Full of Himself.

I have the Elisa font but it is not the main font..it is the font used for the Cafe portion. Is that the part you were talking about or did you want the font that is used for the Fat Kat portion?

Thanks,
Deanna
