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

The words Black Shirt White Text should appear in the logo. I’m actually thinking of the name being blackShirtwhiteText. The website’s url is blackshirtwhitetext.com.

What type of product or service do you offer?

T-Shirts.

How long have you been in business?

Just starting up. Scheduled launch for the site is March 16.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?

Establish a strong brand identity for the website and product. The logo should be able to stand along on a t-shirt and be fashionable.

What are your long term goals?

Develop a unique brand of t-shirts that offers people another method to visually express themselves in plain black and white.

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

Wednesday, February 18, 2009.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience

No existing audience :-(

Who would you like to add to your audience?

People that are interesting in sharing there thoughts, emotions, position, and ideas.

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

The logo should be simple but clever and slick. It should convey that it was produced by a true professional. Like I mentioned earlier, I would love if the logo is strong enough to stand on its own in the middle of a t-shirt.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Black and white. I would entertain a splash of color if it accents a particular feature of the logo.

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

No specific images or icons, but I envision a logo in the shape of a square or rectangle.

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

What is your tagline or slogan?

Wear what’s on your mind.

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

I want the shirts to become a smart and edgy brand.

Where will your new logo be used?

On the website and on the top left corner of the shirt, a little under the left collar bone.

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

Not really sure.

List competitive URLs if possible

They are not a competitor but I love the way that The North Face positions their logo.

http://www.thenorthface.com

What sets you apart from your competitors?

The creative messages on our shirts and our marketing approach.

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

Our slogan/tagline sums it up, “Wear what’s on your mind”.

Thanks In Advance. Can't wait to see what you all come up with. :-)

Just wanted to send a quick thank you to nutscreative and glyphica for your submissions. Your submissions are in the ballpark of what I'm looking for. I apologize that I can't give more feedback then that at this time. Look for more feedback on Saturday morning.

nutscreative - I live in Atlanta but I'm from the Detroit-area (River Rouge). I absolutely love Toronto. :-)

Before I provide my feedback on the submissions. I really would like to express my thanks. You guys make it possible for people like me to launch our ideas and for that I am grateful.

Ok here's my feedback:

bill and nutscreative I like your entries, but I see something in glyphica's entries that I want to run with. Please feel free to resubmit ideas that build on my current feedback.

glyphica - what about reshaping your entry in the form of a diamond with the BlackShirt text being on the top and WhiteText on the bottom. Add a border that defines the shape of the diamond and fill the background for "BlackShirt" with a white background and "WhiteText" with a black background and change the foreground color to white. The inside black diamond should include a white circle or something with lines coming out of the top, like ideas or thoughts coming out of your mind. Make sense? I thought of this in the shower a few minutes ago so I might need to rethink it a bit. :-) I know, I know TMI (To Much Information). Anyway run with that if you can. I'll provide a rough draft of what I'm thinking a little later.

Here is a rough draft of the idea I had in my head (see earlier post). I need you guys to do your creative thing on it.

123929

Play with the middle section. Play with the placement of the slogan and orientation of the tagline "Wear what's on your mind."

That kind of stuff.

Of course I'm open to more ideas.

Thanks In Advance.

John,

Stephanie (glyphica) presented that layout. The other designers are not allowed to expand on her original idea.

Thanks! :)

Thanks for all the submissions.

BlueCherryGraphics - I completely understand.

Nutscreative - My bad. Sorry for the time you lost. Version 5 is creative but not what I'm looking for.

Glyphica - Close but not quite. Maybe a different font and something else in the middle. I'm not feeling the weathered look. Can you give me an example with cleaner defined lines? TIA. :-)

xpressions -I really like where you are going. Can you move the white text on the other side of the circle? Just swap it with the slogan. Also, something else in the middle. What about putting "bswt" in the middle.

giant and art176 - Not what I'm looking for. Thanks. Please feel free to submit other ideas.

Thanks xpression. What do you think about the changing the text to "blackshirtwhitetext.com"? The .com would be in a smaller font. I like it the way it is so I don't want to mess with it to much. I just want to incorporate the domain name somehow.

Thank you for the feedback. Here are a couple of revisions. I prefer 1.2 myself: :)

Thanks again to all of the designers for your submissions. You guys are awesome. I have a few more logo projects in the pipeline so keep a look out.

For this logo project, I have decided to go with one of xpressions' designs.

Maybe a couple of small tweaks. Can I run them by you later?

Please show me version 1.2 with version 1.3's center - just the b and the w.

Thanks In Advance.

Hi. Both centers are the same on 1.2 and 1.3. Could you clarify for me, please?
