Logo Design Brief
** 12/3/2011 The Prize is Still UP for Grabs! **
EVG is a wholesale large-format printing company.
We are developing a themed walk-in retail quick sign/digital printing venture called ZOK Signs or ZOK Signs and Graphics. Think "FastSigns" or one of those quick-sign franchises combined with a FedEx Office but a little more themed... and more sign centric.
I initally came up with the name ZOK as the "punch sound" from the Batman TV series (i.e. BAM!, POW!, ZOK!). ZOK as in PUNCH... POWER... you know what I mean?
Alternatively, I think that ZOK could be a theme character of some sort. I played with this a little bit, and came up with some initial sketches. I have an Illustrator CS5 file that you can look at in the files section. I wonder if we can combine the two ideas...hmmmmm? Thinking an alien, space theme.
Ultimately I am looking for a company logo that will look GREAT as a SIGN and can easily be re-purposed for use everywhere. Think vehicle wraps, embroidery, decals...
I would like to see drawings of both ZOK! Signs and ZOK! Signs & Graphics. I would like to see drawings of ZOK! as a character and ZOK! as the POWER... PUNCH... theme.
The winning design will most certainly turn into much more work. Good luck.
