We are re-considering our original name for this and so need a new logo to help us with the decision. If you bid on the first project please do not be influenced by the first designs - we are looking for something brand new which is why we are going with the new name. Need a logo for a boutique type company manufacturing original, unique and stylish clothing, furniture and accessories for dolls.


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

The name of the company is Wish - the logo just needs to include the company name. It could also include the strapline "...make your little girl's come true"

What type of product or service do you offer?

We offer original boutique style clothing, furniture and accessories for dolls.

How long have you been in business?

We have been in the retail doll business for 3 years. Wish is a new wholesale company in partnership with current owners.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?

We want to establish an instantly recognizable brand that excites and appeals to girls in the age 7-12 range.

What are your long term goals?

Our long-term goals are to be known as a manufacturer of exciting, stylish, quality, sophisticated clothing and accessories for all makes and sizes of dolls.

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

All designs should be submitted by COB, Monday, July 7th for consideration.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience

Our existing audience are girls in the age 7-12 range AND their mothers and grandmothers. Special care should be taken that the logo is not too "childish" so as to appeal to the other generations.

Who would you like to add to your audience?

None

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

Stylish and sophisticated - definitely "boutiquey"

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

Any pastel colors like those in the attached. It will need to match a pre-built template.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo? None

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

Stylish, exciting, sophisticated.

What is your tagline or slogan?
None as of yet.

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

You can buy high quality, exciting product from us.

Where will your new logo be used?

On our website and packaging.

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


List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?

I don't want to list competitor information on this public forum as I don't want to provide a heads up. Competitor logos are non-existant or traditional or boring.<!-- / message -->

Hi All

Thanks for your designs. They are all good but nothing jumps out at us right now as the one. Let me give some feedback on each one and maybe that will help.

Snickerdoodle #3 - This is a too busy for us. We need something a lot simpler and softer.

xpressions - we like that style but it needs more oomph. We do like the type of star that you used over the i. These are maybe a little too soft color wise.

Offbeat design - these are a little too "Disney". Don't forget these aren't toys - although it is a doll's clothes line we are looking for somethign a bit more sophisticated.

Krishm - We really don't want to use that kind of star as it looks too much like the "American Girl" brand logo. I like the font.

Overall we need some new ideas. I wouldn't want everyone to go down one road based on our suggestions when one hasn't jumped out as the right style yet. Thanks everyone!

I was away for holiday, back now. Thank you for the feedback. Other than color, is there anything specific you would like to see in the variations?

xpressions - no I think it is just the colours thanks - just to make it feel a little more substantial. Off beat - we like that last one. Could you give us some colour variations on that one too? Maybe make the font a little thicker?

Thanks!

Because we will probably use it as a strapline and we would probably want it in the same font - could you both add "...make her's come true." but far enough away that we could use the logo with or without the strapline? It's important for us to see how it would look.

One more with a slightly friendlier font for the tagline. I can provide two versions of the logo - with and without the tagline if that's easier for you.

Also, hers is already possessive and does not require the apostrophe.
