Logo Design Brief
We are a 100% online startup that provide services and products to the sailing and boating industry. The name of the company is "MarlinSpike Marine". The name comes from a tool called a marlinspike that has been used in the rope splicing industry for 200 years. Our company primarily offers the manufacture of customised yacht rigging ropes and cables, but we also sell anchors, mooring lines and other rope/boating equipment. The logo must first and foremost convey a sense of trust and reliability, but it must also show that we are a modern cutting edge business.
