Logo Design Brief
We would like to adapt our much loved and existing sailing yacht logo MAKARA to use as a design on our Gennaker sail. Will be printed or sown on.
We want the designer to use our existing logo (elephant fish - see attached logo) and a Mandala/ or Sacred Geometry design to create texture (inside or outside of the logo design) to enhance the design and make more 3D to create a new updated very impressive one colour design to be printed or sown onto a bright orange gennaker sail for down wind sailing. Needs to compliment what we have done on the yacht design as well (see yacht photo attached with Makara logo on the bow of the boat).
Sail will be orange background so logo needs to be in pure white or very dark navy blue.
What does Makara mean?
Makara is a Sanskrit word meaning "water monster" or "sea dragon." In Hindu mythology, a makara is a sea creature who serves as a vehicle (vahana) for the Ganga; the river goddess; and the sea god, Varuna. Makaras are typically depicted as half mammal and half fish with an aquatic hind portion and a terrestrial head, such as that of an elephant. These creatures are the guardians of thresholds and entryways.
What does Sacred Geometry/ Mandalas?
A mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction.
Sacred geometry is essentially the study of the spiritual meaning of various shapes. It can be applied to the forms, numbers, and patterns seen throughout the natural world.

I have included various samples of sacred geometry and mandalas used with animal designs to create interesting designs/logos.
I also include some samples of what fully inflated gennaker/ spinnaker sails look like to understand the concept better.
