Logo Design Brief

I am starting a company for high end, pro quality cycling cloths and I would like a logo that conveys, excellent design in both the aesthetic and technical sense. The products and brand image are a handsome, clean look with style but not flashy. More Porsche than Cadillac, more Apple than Dell. It is a boutique brand, locally manufactured (California), environmentally sensitive.

The company name is Cnocs, derived from an Irish word for hills. One AMONG many ideas was to use the attached image as reference. I am NOT at all stuck on an Irish image. It was just a source of words and imagery for me.

The designs look great.  Just one thing.  They do not need to actually have the name Cnocs in it.  It is fine if they do but it is not necessary

I just wanted to thank all of you for the excellent designs.  I liked many of them and it was truly difficult to choose which one to use.  If anyone would like further feedback feel free to send me a message.

Target Market(s)

Well to do, middle-aged or slightly younger over achieving road cyclists who get up at 8 every Saturday and ride hard for 3 hours. They disdain the flashy costume like outfits that are popular now. They ride expensive bikes and want to wear high quality gear that looks good.

Requirements
Must have
  • A scalable image that will work on a business card, a fabric logo, and website. probably something that should look good as a 1 inch diameter logo.Rich, earth tones At least some visual reference, however subtle or abstract to cycling
Nice to have
  • I sort of like the image I attached as a reference but I wouldn't make that a top priority. I am open to any idea that conveys the brand qualities I mentioned. (rich quality) high performance, handsome design It can be pretty abstract and it would be nice if it was recognizable as a logo from 5 or 10 ft ( 2 to 3) meters away
Should not have
  • Bright colors
    Cliche
