Logo Design Brief

A logo is needed for a lifestyle web site to be launched in Australia, aimed towards professional men between 18 and 40.

The brand is "UnTie" and will focus on ways in which working men can improve their lives with a range of helpful articles and information. It is about achieving the ideal balance between work and pleasure.

Some examples of what may be included on the site:

- Suiting up for the office
- Top 10 ways to relieve stress
- How to better manage your time
- Maintaining fitness while in a desk job
- Matching shirts and ties

The logo should have a bold, modern and fashionable look which clearly articulates the focus on the professional man.

As the name suggests, the "UnTie" logo should also convey a sense of loosening up or letting go.

While we are open to ideas and concepts, we believe a striped tie would be an effective element to include.

Variations of uppercase lettering are acceptable. For example: Untie, UnTie, unTie... etc.



Info Icon
Updates

Hi all,


Thanks for your design submissions so far - your efforts are much appreciated.

Due to the number of designs received, we have been unable to provide individual feedback to everyone. However, we have given detailed feedback to designs that are closest to what we are looking for.

If you find your design has been eliminated without feedback, we encourage you to read the brief again. Please pay close attention to the requirements as this will form part of our selection criteria.

Some hints: The most common problem with designs is that they look too "rigid" or "serious" in appearance. The design needs to convey a sense of relaxed attitude or carefree fun. Use splashes of colour, not just black and white or grey. A striped tie is mandatory, not optional. The font should look unique in some way, rather than something you'd see every day. Also, the best designs so far have been able to combine the tie element with the word "untie" in a clever yet natural way.

If you'd like to submit another design, we encourage you to do so in the next 2 days so we have sufficient time to review and provide feedback where possible.

Regards,
Adam
