Logo Design Brief
Create logo for my boat - the “Spyhopper”. Spyhopping is when great white sharks stick their nose above the surface to look for prey (see ‘Spyhopping’ photos).
Design considerations:
- Design should not be over-complex as to make printing of boat sticker too difficult. Logo may also be stitched into hats/shirts.
- Bold enough and readable from a distance
- Space is limited width-wise, so please see what can be done to keep the width of the logo limited without it appearing squished. I would be open to different orientation of the text to facilitate this.
Design ideas:
- Incorporate the shark nose into the ‘Spyhopper’ title. See attached examples. Example #1 represents the top view of the shark. Example #2 represents the side view of the shark. Example #2 is my preference currently. While these are examples, I am not specifically asking for this design, and am very open to other ideas.
- In the pencil version of Example #2, the underlining of the text could represent the waterline that the shark is sticking its nose above.
Color suggestions - Mint/turquoise for lettering. Light grey for shark shape. Please note that the logo would be applied to a white background.
