Logo Design Brief
I need a logo design for our mechanical workshop, named Shakotan Garage.
We specialise in 60s, 70s and 80s Japanese car modification and styling following the 80s and 90s Shakotan, Zokusha and Bosozoku styles prominent in Japan at the time, and continued today.
This is more of a lifestyle venture, and I'd hope to have a logo reflect an attitude of irreverence and fun.
I suggest checking out the Manga 'Shakotan Boogie' to get a bit of an idea of styles...
Also, our supporting company's logo is dark green, so colours other than green would be preferred, as we wish to keep the two entities imagery separate.
