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

What type of product or service do you offer?
Boat Timeshares and Unlimited Use Ownersip of high quality state-of-the-art fishing boats.

How long have you been in business?
New Business

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
Create a profitable business with substantial name recognition.

What are your long term goals?
First 3 location are in Florida. Hope to expand to a national presence within the next 5 - 10 years.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
9/11/07

Audience Profile:
Our target market will be recreational in-shore sport-fishermen, not to be confused with pleasure boaters. We are marketing the type of boats that can be seen at http://www.skeeterboats.com/product_pages/zxsaltboats/zx20bay.html. The market demographics will be geared towards individuals (fishing inthusiasts) that dream of owning their own boats, but either cannot afford or justify the purchasing of them.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Simple and rememberable. We believe our domain, BoatClub.com is marketable in itself. And, would like the logo to reflect that. I would like the logo to read only "BoatClub.com" with light design or art work incorporated in it. I would like it to look sharp and professional, not cartoony.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?) Red or blue, but not both. I like to leave it up to creative design.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo? Maybe a boat propeller or a line and hook. I am open to suggestions, however.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business? Professional and high-tech. Not the "red neck" stereotype that can sometimes be associated with fishing.

What is your tagline or slogan? Own the Dream

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience? BoatClub.com offers an affordable alternative to purchasing a boat. Allows the consumer to enjoy all the benefits of owning a boat, without the expense and hassle.

Where will your new logo be used? Internet website and ads, print media.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos? Freedomboatclub.com. They have a nice logo, but it is geared more towards leisure boating. It gives you more of a relaxed feeling. I don't want our logo to be overpowering, but would like it to reflect our business as being geared more towards to sport of fishing and not leisure boating.

List competitive URLs if possible

www.freedomboatclub.com, www.carefreeboats.com (a division of Freedom Boat Club)



What sets you apart from your competitors?

BoatClub.com offers an affordable alternative to purchasing a boat. We currently have competitors in a similar but not direct market. No one currently offers, through rentals, clubs, or partial share ownership, the ability to use and own the boats we are offering. To have access to our product a consumer would have to either hire a fishing guide or purchase a boat of their own.

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

The logos look great, but I'm trying to stay away from the whole sailing theme. We're trying to target the sportfishing market. Maybe something with an abstract fish hook as part of the logo.

I like this one the best so far. Is there anyway you can do something with an abstract fish hook, instead of a sale? Thanks...

Or, maybe someone can incorporate a boat propeller or fish hook in the "." between boatclub and com...

Greetings! :)

I really like this one... you do a version in red (with the embossed effect)? How do you think that would look?

how would this look if the hook were part of the "u" in club rather than the "o" in boat. when printed as is it looks like "BuatClub.com"
I am sorry, but we cannot reply to PMs during the contest, so I am replying here. I put the hook into 'b', it looked as if it might be more interesting... If you insist on putting it into 'u', I can do that, also :)

I like it. This is the first time I've used design Outpost. So, you'll have to let me know what's next. I'd like to have the logo in this latest version of blue and one in all black. Once that's done, do you send me the files and I confirm that the order is complete?

DraganB

I am glad you like the blue revision. I have sent you a link to your files via PM, so once you download them and check the file, you can just post here whether you are satisfied with the final result or not. If not, you can post what other things you'd like to see changed, or, if yes, you can just write it here and that ends the whole process.

Thank you one more time, and thanks to NHR (zamenismo uloge ovaj put :))
