Logo Design Brief

We need a logo design for an online retailer of watches and watch accessories called 'Horotica'. The name is derived from the greek word for time, 'hora', combined with the word 'erotica'. Our plan is to offer minimalistic watches that showcase a classic look but can be combined with a number of watchstraps to take one watch and give it unlimited possibility. The design you make will be used on the watches themselves!

We would like to see designs that are black and white only, that are either line art (for example, the Brietling logo) and are timeless (We'll let the watch do the time part!). We would prefer not to directly reference time, watches or clocks in the logo.

We are also inspired very much by Caerus, the greek personification of opportunity. We would love for our logo to be his representation in line art. This could be full body or just the head, wings, and hair. Caerus is famous for having the back of his head shaven while the front hair is long. This is because opportunity has to be seized quickly otherwise it is too late to grab onto it!

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hey everyone, Thank you for your designs submitted so far! We are now in the process of submitting feedback to each of you, so please look forward to that! We have decided to extend the deadline because we have not received the expected amount of submissions. We are committed to picking the right design for our company and we want to make sure we've seen as many options as we can, but don't let that deter you. We definitely appreciate the early commitment that you have made to help us out. Thank you all once again for helping us make our dreams here at Horotica a reality! Stacy

Hey Designers!


First off I want to thank all of you who have submitted a design for us! We're excited about where we are headed and we've got some really great designs to dig through and process, and that's great news!

We have been a little absent, admittedly, but we are going to remedy that today. Within the next 24 hours you should see feedback on all submitted designs and guidance on where to go from here. By the end of this Friday (CST) we hope to have narrowed our designs down to the top 5 designs and will follow up with those folks to get additional small tweaks put in place.

After that, there will be a little time for us to think and get feedback from our customers and then we'll make out final decision! We are thankful and grateful to have the opportunity to have one of you talented folk represent the mark of our company to be seen on our website and products!
