Hi everyone! Thank you in advance for your creativity and hard work – I’m very excited to see what all of you come up with!


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

What type of product or service do you offer?
We are a “consignment sale event” company. We hold a 5-day consignment sale for kid’s clothes and toys, twice yearly. Parents drop off kid’s items on the first day, and then come back and shop. We send consignors a check for a % of their sales.

How long have you been in business?
We’re brand new – my first sale will be in August.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
I want to look professional from the start and to grab the attention and curiosity of parents.

What are your long term goals?
My long term goal is to make this consignment sale an event that is recognized by everyone in the community. It will be a better option than garage sales for parents – they will get more money for their unwanted items. It will be organized and will allow parents to get a fair price for their stuff – and it will be a great one-stop shopping experience.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
I need to start advertising ASAP, so I’m hoping to be to be at the revision-stage on Monday, June 25th. However, if it goes faster than that, I will be thrilled! I’ll give you a heads up, though, and a few days to submit after that so that I don’t pull the plug while you are in the midst of your masterpiece. J

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Parents – probably all mothers who are on a budget. Most moms I know love bargains and are in need of kid’s clothes and toys.


Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
A kid-focused logo in some great colors - I need it with just the title “Go Fish!” for
t-shirts and such, and also with the subtitle “Consignment Sale” so that people know what the company actually is about.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
I like different shades of blues and yellows together (if it were a water/fishbowl theme). The card-game theme could be in any primary colors.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
We could go one of two ways: ocean /fishbowl themed, or the fact that “Go Fish” is a game, and we would have toys/games to sell at the sale. I like the pictures of whimsical fishbowls that I come across when searching for ideas.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
It’s a “mom and kids” focused company. It’s a whimsical, fun event and it’s a win-win situation for everyone.

What is your tagline or slogan?
I don’t have one yet. I do need the logo (as stated above) to have “consignment sale” in it, but I also need it without so that I can put it on t-shirts, aprons, stickers, etc..

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
A new way to shop for kid’s stuff.

Where will your new logo be used?
On my website, business cards, flyers, advertising, and clothing.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
I don’t really have competitors, as there are no other sales like this in my area. Most consignment event websites have logos that are generic and not so professional in my opinion.


What sets you apart from your competitors?
We’re the first to do this in our area – we’re fresh and exciting!

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
We’re a new and exciting shopping experience – a mom’s lifesaver!

Now that I see the blues and yellows, I'm not completely sold on my choice of colors. Feel free to use any colors, and we can go from there....

BCherry: I like the fish playing the cards and going through the font. The fish isn't very cute, though (maybe because he's yellow?)

Offbeat: Could you put "kids consgnment sale" on the sign - I realize now I should probably specify that it's for kids. Is there any way to make the sign more kid-ish itself?

Tini1: Version 1 is the best of the 3 - I'd prefer a different font, though, something more bold and casual.

Thanks for a great start!

I realize now that I need this logo to pretty much scream kid's stuff. I like the name of my business, but I live in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. I think the fish will confuse people, unless it's VERY whimsical and includes kid's stuff. Also, scratch my idea of blues and yellows - it's nice, but I think you can do way better than I can when choosing the colors.

The playing cards are awesome - Tini, if you're bored, play around with those some more!

Since my first post, I found this site: http://www.pocketchangesale.com/ which is the same type of business, and has the feel I'm looking for.

I'll be out until Friday or Saturday, so I won't be leaving any feedback until that time. Thanks for your submissions!

Tini - I'd like to see a logo with the colors of version 1.1, but put in the sewing details and font of 1.3. Also, could you turn the ducks around so they are facing the other way? Thanks!

Sold! Tini1, I love the cards so I'm choosing your design. Let's play around with the colors some more, but it's almost perfect.

Thanks to all of you who submitted!

Why don't you show me some variations. I do like the colors of the cards, but the font feels like too much of the same turquoise color.

06-16-2007, 10:26 AM
I added a deeper blue to the font...

Hi Tini – Now I’m thinking we should just keep it to 3 colors – so maybe the turquoise is OK, or do you have any other ideas of mixing up the colors a bit more? (Make the dots red, or the Kids Consignment Sale red, maybe? I’m not sure.) And I liked your original red/pink the best. :)

Also, let’s take the dash out of “Go – Fish” and try to make the “Kid’s Consignment Sale” as large of a font that still looks OK….

One more thing: it’s a tall logo – is there any way to move the cards down a little? Thanks!!! :)

Congratulations Missy.

This thread has been moved to the Revisions forum.

Thank you Jennifer:)

Here the revisions I adjusted the font/cards proportions, now it looks more compact....:)

I think it looks great!

On the black and white version only, please move the “Kids Consignment Sale” down just a tad.

Can you send me the files with the different elements together, but also with all of the elements separate? (The cards, just “Go Fish!” and just “Go Fish! Kids Consignment Sale”) in case I need to separate them for brochures and such. I hope that makes sense.

And… for future reference, what is the name of the font used?

Thanks so much. I love the logo!
