Logo Design Brief
Hi All,
I am looking for a logo design for a new Australian 4WD and motorbike trail company. I would like the look to be clean but also aspirational. I would like it make people think they can get out and see the trails we offer.
The name of the company is Tracks N Trails and I would like the name incorporated. It is an online company so it needs to incorporate .com .au somewhere, but that’s more of small aspect of it.
The colours that can be used bold red, black and white, and blue (see attached image of colours used on the motorbike). Not all colours mentioned need to be used, but I like the strong contrasts.
Important: The use of a wheel track or tracks of either a 4WD tire or off road motorbike tire trailing off into the distance and into some hills or mountain range.
I would like the logo design to be simplistic and bold, but not to much going on. I like the attached Neaderland Steig design i.e. bold and simple.
The font needs to be strong but I would like it to have something different or edgy about it such as the attached or Drake off road and GS logos. The tire track/s can pass through the Tracks N Trails name if it works i.e. see the attached Pilot trekkers logo and I would consider two different types of font.
Ultimately the design will be used on the back and sides of a 4WD and on a website and phone app and t-shirts.
I excited about the company and can't wait to give it a awesome logo.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have added a basic sketched design to the brief as a general concept. I've also made small changes to the information in brief so its a little defined.
Cheers,
Amy
