Logo Design Brief

The Obnoxicon is contest I run amongst a group of friends and acquaintances. The goal of the contest is to enter comments – spoken, invented or overheard – that are really very loathsome and obnoxious. Ultimately, the intent is to come up with a collection of amusing remarks that will hopefully generate a few laughs.

The circle of people involved has grown so I’ve decided to create a blog and Twitter page to support the contest. As such, I’m looking to create a personalized feel for The Obnoxicon.

I'm interested in style that is very, very simple and lighthearted. A perfect example of what I what is something akin to a James Thurber or (lighthearted) Charles Addams cartoon. If this makes sense, it would be cool to see some kind of contemporary twist on their ideas.

A few are really, really close. I'm kind of looking for body language similar to these photos of Keith Moon and/or Warren "Baby" Dodds. Please see the following lonks:
