Logo Design Brief

Thank you for taking the time to review my project. I’m looking for a sophisticated, crest-style logo for CCSL – Cleveland Cigar & Social Lounge, a members-only cigar lounge and private networking club.

Our brand is all about exclusivity, tradition, and elevated experiences—think private golf clubs, university societies, and high-end cigar brands. The design should feel timeless, regal, and refined, with a strong visual presence. It will appear on embroidered apparel, signage, membership cards, and digital media, so it must scale well and maintain detail.

While the initials CCSL should be the focal point, I’m open to your creative interpretation of classic crest elements (shields, crowns, fox imagery, cigar references, etc.). Think Bentley meets Davidoff.

I’ll provide prompt feedback throughout the contest and am committed to selecting a winning design. Looking forward to seeing your best work—let’s create something iconic together. Scope of Work: Crest Logo Design for CCSL (Cleveland Cigar & Social Lounge)

Project Overview:
We are seeking a skilled graphic designer to create a custom crest-style logo that embodies the exclusivity, tradition, and prestige of CCSL—Cleveland Cigar & Social Lounge. CCSL is a private, members-only cigar lounge and social networking hub that caters to professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. The brand should reflect the elegance and heritage typically associated with exclusive country clubs or private golf clubs, while also integrating subtle nods to cigar culture and sophisticated social networking.

Design Objectives:
• Develop a crest or emblem-style logo that evokes timelessness, distinction, and luxury.
• The logo should be versatile enough for embroidery, signage, membership cards, digital platforms, and premium packaging.
• It should balance classic formality with modern flair—not too old-fashioned, but still rooted in tradition.

Key Elements to Consider:
1. Initials: CCSL – These must be featured prominently in the design.
2. Symbols & Iconography (optional but encouraged): Consider incorporating subtle elements like:
• A cigar or cigar cutter
• A fox (our members sometimes wear a fox lapel pin as a symbol of discretion and distinction)
• A shield, crown, laurel wreath, or torch to evoke prestige and honor
• Networking or brotherhood motifs (hands clasped, overlapping circles, etc.)
3. Typography:
• Serif or script fonts preferred for elegance
• Font should be legible when scaled down (for patches, embroidery, etc.)

Color Palette:
• Rich, regal tones such as deep navy, hunter green, burgundy, black, and gold
• A version should also be provided in black-and-white or grayscale for versatility

Deliverables:
• Primary crest logo (full color)
• Secondary variations (black/white, simplified mark/icon, horizontal layout if applicable)
• Vector files (.AI, .EPS), transparent PNGs, and high-res JPGs
• Typography and color palette specifications
• Mockups (optional but preferred: signage, apparel, business cards)

Inspiration Style:
Please review logos from exclusive private clubs, such as:
• Augusta National Golf Club
• The University Club
• The Yale Club
• The Explorers Club
• Davidoff Cigars (for cigar luxury branding cues)
