We are looking for exciting and unique submissions for Crazy Johnny's. This is a logo/identity for a rock n roll restaurant/bar/club overlooking the harbour in Nassau Bahamas.

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

Crazy Johnny's

maybe try a different version with "rock n roll club" as a tagline.

What type of product or service do you offer?

Crazy Johnny's in an exciting rstaurant/club/bar with great views, live music, thousands of rock n roll songs, a giant wide screen TV where recordings of live concerts are shown. The club is owned by Crazy Johnny himself who is in the club every night singing, swinging from the rafters and blowing fire. It is truly committed to the sounds of rock and roll and plays rock and roll exclusively.

How long have you been in business?

One year.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?

We would like to create a brand that represents the Crazy Johnny experience and energy without representing the club as too rough (drunks and bums) or too gimmicky (fire-breathing Johnny). Johnny's excitement and enthusiasn for the music is really organic and honest and he should not be represented as a gimmick but someone you'd want to hang out with.

What are your long term goals?

Crazy Johnny would like to establish himself as a brand and open more clubs in the US in the long-term.

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

The deadline is Friday, August 8th but as soon as possible would be great.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience

Existing audience is mostly local Bahamian's through word-of-mouth and street traffic.

Who would you like to add to your audience?

We are launching a web site and marketing strategy in an effort to capture the tourist market prior to them leaving for the Bahamas. We would like to add older rock n roll nostaligic tourists from resorts like Atlantis or Cable Beach.

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

Logo will really become the brand/image of Crazy Johnny's. A graphic of Crazy Johnny himself could be included (either literally or artistically represented). His current logo is attached. It was drawn by Crazy Johnny. He liked the idea of having a representation of himself (see the A) in teh words BUT I would like to be clear that want something much more sophisticated and unique than this. Card attached also includes photos of Johnny (he's the one with the long hair). Maybe incorporate the Bahamas somehow as this is a local hang out and a place for visitors to get a real taste of the island life.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
None

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

Just some kind of representation of Johnny as he is the man behind the marketing strategy.

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

We want to present an image of excitement and fun but not wild springbreak type, drunken fun. Johnny is not a gimmick but an honest individual who has a real passion for sharing his music and personality so that people have a good time.

What is your tagline or slogan?

Rock n Roll Club

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

This is a great place to come and hear great music, have great food, fun drinks and a night to remember. It's also a local hang out that could become your neighbourhood bar.

Where will your new logo be used?

The new logo will be used on signage, the website, marketing materials and promotional products including t-shirts, mugs, glasses, etc... The image itself must be instantly recognizable and cool.

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

There are no other rock n roll clubs in the Bahamas.


Thanks for your time everyone we are really looking forward to submissions. The sooner we can get some to Johnny the better!

I just want to reinforce that we do not want folks to be influenced by the existing logo. We are looking for a real change. A brand that is contemporary and not a throw-back. Thanks!!

Hi - It's CLASSIC rock n roll - Led Zeppelin, The Who, ACDC, Rolling Stones, etc...

Hi all - I am seeing Crazy Johnny tonight and would love to have a few more options for his first review. Anyone else got one?

Thanks!

Thanks for the ones so far. They are very good but we are not sure how Johnny is going to feel about the "flame" theme. Can we see some with some others with different concepts - especially ones with a representation of Johnny himself (either literal or artistic - for what's it's worth he is a slim guy, always an open shirt, long flowing blong hair and tattoos).

Another important note when submitting - Please do not get hung up on the postcard - this is not the image we want for the club. Johnny is a personality but is not a jokey, circus guy. This postcard image he has had so far has only served to get the lower caliber of customer. We only included the postcard to show the existing logo.

The club's focus is serious music, with a good time led by Johnny's personality.

Hi all

We are extending this deadline to 8-15 as Johnny is off the island and we would like to give him a few more choices. Some feedback so far:

RelevantStudio - We like this one. Can we see some font variations on this theme

Giant - We like these too - they are a little "biker" anything we can do to mainstream them a little (only a little)

schnickerdoodle - This is a real fun one. The only problem we have is that we don't think the CJ in the top is very clear - can we change the font or the look a little so it is instantly recognizable.

Great stuff everyone. A thing to remember is that Johnny sells a TON of t-shirts to tourists (they say, "I got crazy at...") so imagine how it would look on a t-shirt. If we can incorporate Nassau, Bahamas as a separate line but in a similar font (so we can imagine on a tee) it would be helpful.

Scnickerdoodle - this is more like it. Can we have the CJ a bit smaller - the size in the other was better - but still readable. Thanks!

Scnickerdoodle - the last revision is great - we can't wait to show Johnny this one.

Paula23 - Thanks for your entry - it's good but not really what we are going for. Crazy Johnny's is more hard rock n roll - no trumpets or anything.

Giant - We like this one a lot especially the representation of Johnny. Can we try some more dramatic colors - make the red really red.

Thanks! The phrase underneath is "All Rock n Roll" (no club) and could you move the Nassau, Bahamas a little further down from the Rock N Roll line. It is blending in too much. School? That's an early start - my daught doesn't start until Thursday.

More like this? v8

(Our school started on the 18th of this month; some schools here (near Little Rock, AR) started late June/early July; but not the public schools)

Thanks Jennifer - that's the one...looks great! Would you mind doing the other version for us too? Did you have any thoughts on the black -t-shirt question?

I can't believe your schools are so early - although I'll bet it makes the parents happy :-)

Hi Jennifer - any update on when you might be able to get me the other? This version is fine I will take the final files for this.

Thanks!

Hi,

Just waiting to see if the tagline layout was OK; here is the proof for the 2nd version.

I packaged the finals for the first version and sent you the link via private message.
