Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
> Bandit Bib™

What type of product or service do you offer?
> This is a small, stylish, and practical bib to keep babies dry from drool while looking stylish at the same time. With easy Velcro fasteners.

How long have you been in business?
> Just starting

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
> Hip image (the logo and product); clear what the product is (stylish bib to keep baby dry) and who it is for (babies)

What are your long term goals?
> Sell bibs profitably, move into a broader line of products later

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
> December 21, 2005

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
> None

Who would you like to add to your audience?
> Moms and others who buy hip and practical items for babies; distributors; retailers

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
> simple; elegant; hip/cool;

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
> We don’t want to use lots of blue or pink because that implies boy or girl. The bib itself should stand out probably, solid red perhaps but we are not tied to that. We are open to suggestions. Perhaps something with fun and color would be good.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
> Should be baby’s head and shoulders (probably wearing a shirt) with our bib. See attached photos for bib. Image of a baby with our bib which is small, triangular, and might look like a bandana from far away. See attached pictures. The baby should be happy and smiling. We came up with the name Bandit Bib because the bib’s shape makes it look a little like the baby is wearing a bandana and so it is kind of western like a cowboy or a bandit. Bandit also expresses that we are breaking out of the traditional mold of boring baby products. Might be interesting for the baby to wear cowboy hat, but this might not be a good idea – undecided – it might take focus away from the bib itself and miscommunicate the brand.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
> hip and stylish; nontraditional; practical; new and young (Ikea vs. Ethan Allen; Mini Cooper vs. Ford Taurus)

What is your tagline or slogan?
> Keeps Baby Dry and Dandy

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
> We have hip bibs that are small and look cool but do a great job of collecting drool so baby’s clothes remain dry and they are easy to use.

Where will your new logo be used?
> business cards, product packaging (something like a hangar) and website

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
> There are no competitors that we know of for this product in the US. We do like the Manhattan Toy logo. We also like the Zutano line. The Zooper logo is cool, although the website is kind of boring.

List competitive URLs if possible
> http://www.manhattantoy.com/
> http://www.zutano.com/
> http://www.ziko.com/index.php?lastFrame=1&startFrame=9
> http://www.zooperstrollers.com/

What sets you apart from your competitors?
> existing bibs are either practical but ugly or they are large and designed for mealtime to catch food, some have strings etc that are not practical

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


Thank you!! We are very excited to be using design outpost for the first time and to get a great first logo for this brand!

This might be taking the "hip" desire to the extreme, but the iPod baby appealed to me for some reason. Let me know what you think!

Hi everybody - thank you so much for your designs! They are very cool.

We are trying to decide between two of them - EZIEY's and Red Eye's. The one from M Bleigh is interesting but not quite the direction we want for this. Also Deanna yours is very good at capturing the detail, but we like the other two designs better.

So we will consider a bit longer and let you know in the next couple of days if we want to move forward with EZIEY or Red Eye. For Red Eye's we really like the baby logo and the colors are ok, but the font is sort of "clubby" (like DJ fliers) - I'm sure we can adjust the font but let us think about it some more first. For EZIEY's, we really love the whole baby and the font. We think we might do some adjustment to the hair and the colors. We like how the baby is sort of rectangular - it could make a good label and the text could be easily separated.

Thank you all again so much and we will try and decide quickly!

-Luther

Hi there - Titania - thanks - I really like your first design Version 01 - it is definitely in the running - the colors in the name are wonderful.
We have a tougher decision now!
We will discuss the designs more this weekend and provide more feedback soon. EZIEY - I like your new colors better than before; orange might be a good color to get in.

SOrry we are newbies at design outpost and didn't realize that other designers may still be working on designs so we will we will just keep it open until the original date that we said - Dec 21st.

Tatiana - version 1 - face is great but I think the hair makes it look boyish (like an army buzz cut), so maybe there is a more gender neutral way to do the hair. The face is very cute and colors are great, but the as a whole it is not too compact - I like how some others are more compact.

EZIEY - we like the version 1 hair better. I think the colors are better in the version 2, but I would like to see maybe some orange or some other brighter colors in the color version maybe.

Red Eye - version 2 is really awesome. I would experiement more with color - maybe orange (or even multicolor) for the word bandit and red for the word bib (to match the bib). I love the pacifier but we might have to lose it in the end because it might make potential customers think that it is not for small toddlers but just babies.

BOTH of you have great proportions of head to body - big head (like babies). I also love both your logos- they are sort of compact and clean and bold.

Fabian - version 1- I like the orange and logo is really cute, but I think the face is sort of just s smiley face and not so much a baby. I also think the two-font idea is cool but maybe it would work better with two fonts that are more similar.

Overall, we really love the elements from many of the designers. So far we really like the Red Eye and EZIEY designs the best.

Thank you all again so much and we are getting very excited about the great ideas we are seeing here.

J.Johnson: this isn't quite what we are looking for - the font kind of says disco 70s to me, which is also funky but we are looking for more fun funky - not sure how to describe that? We'd like to see a bib that is more triangular and neat; and the baby itself isn't hitting home with us. Thanks for submitting though it is great to see some different ideas.

Thanks for the feedback. Here's another idea:

J.Johnson - we like version 2 much more. the font is great, and the image is better too. I'd like to see more vibrant colors in the color version, and we prefer to leave out the tag line (keeps baby dry and dandy) for now.

Thanks for your feedback :)

Here is a simple mark that by it's very placement captures the name "Banditbib" IMO

Hope you like it as much as i do :D

Here are 3 new variations. One has a smile vs. the pacifier. and have included orange and a deep violet for a little different color scheme. Hope you like! :D We can certainly work on other color schemes if you wish! Just throw some more ideas on which colors you would like to see and where to place them!

Ok, we have made the decision and we want to work with Titania to complete the logo design from her concepts.

This was a very tough decision - we really loved the work that several of you contributed and we could have easily gone with some of the other ones, but we have to choose one. In the end we decided that Titania's concept is going to work better for our intended audience. Thank you all again very much for your efforts.

How does this work now? Someone moves us to a private forum to refine the logo?

Hi Titania - congrats!

Maybe we can tighten it up a bit - less space between the d and i in bandit for example.

We would like to try two things (changing version 2):
1. Take away the circle behind the face.
2. Take away the extra orange border around the logo (like in version 1).

Let's try these two things separately from each other. I have a feeling we are going to like it better with the circle behind the face than without.

Also, I'd be curious about having the face in between the two words so the bib hangs under the whole thing.

Thanks
-Luther

Hi - Sorry for the delay. I feel like an idiot but i cannot figure out how to get to the private messages section again (I was there once but cannot find it again)... As soon as I figure out how to get to my private messages, we can finalize everything before the 8th.
