Contest Brief

The company name is "Bushies in Business"

The logo needs to stand alone and look good on any stationery. It should be something that can sit in the corner of a letterhead, as a thumbnail for facebook or sit across a business card.

A bit about the company:
This is an Australian company that services men and women in businesses operating in rural Australia. The business provides coaching and training in the fields of motivation, inspiration, practical advice and problem solving for managers, staff and clients of rural businesses and community groups. My clients are farmers, cattle graziers, people who work in shops but have side businesses in the form of hobby farms. The landscape in which I work and operate has cattle, sunsets, southern cross windmills, kelpie dogs, wrangler jeans, RM Williams boots, Akubra hats and both men and women on horseback. We are tech saavy but are less interested in surfing the net than we are getting outside and getting dirty. I run conferences in jeans and boots and coloured shirts with no design. I do not have a hat. This is different from the American cowboy so do your research and don't bother putting something up that is Australian cliche or stereotype.

    Hi Everyone. Thank you once again for such fabulous creativity and designs. There are so many things that I like about all of these designs. In the BIB logos I saw butterflies, beetles, a dragonfly and a person sitting with arms in the air. I wish I could use all of these. I love the water effect on some of the logos. The ticket ideas were very creative and addressed a whole different side to my business. I loved that the sun and windmill designs overlapped and could be either or both. MattGraphics, I want to especially thank you for submitting so many designs. You are clearly extremely versatile and can create any type of design from simple line drawing to elaborate landscapes. I wish I could award you all a prize because these designs are all impressive. Unfortunately I have to pick just one so I'm going with the designs by Mirceawork.

    Good Day Michellecroner ! I have just submitted 11 Logo Proposals for your Project. I tried using a lot of elements that you described as being part of the branding and visual identity. Please Rate & Review #29 #30 #31 #32 #33 #34 #35 #36 #37 #38 and 39. I also placed them on a wooden texture just to have more visual appeal. If needed i will adjust or tweak designs according to your specific needs. Best Regards and looking forward to your feedback!

    #1 is original art I created. If it looks like some other company it's merely by chance. I am a graphic artist with 35+ years experience, I DON'T copy other peoples work.

    These are some really creative designs. I love the work that you have put in all of these. As for feedback, 1, 2 and 10 look good but they also look familiar. Have I seen these before for other companies? 3 and 4 are okay. 5 is a bit too simple and doesn't tell me anything about the company. I like 6. Using the words in the windmill looks effective. The other one with the windmill on the side reminds me more of paddles than of windmill blades, not sure how to change this. 7 and 8 reads B3 to me. Wrong type of windmill on number 11. 9 is creative, i'm looking for more colour. I like that in 12 and 13 you have picked up another aspect to my business in that it has a ticket design for my workshops, i need more bush in the business though. Just to clarify, "bush" does not necessarily refer to plants, it is more about being "outback Australian" Leaves in the logo are not enough.

      Thank you. The merit is yours. I only found a simple, yet effective way :) to illustrate your metaphor. Please let me know if there is a way to improving it. It would be a pleasure. Mircea

      My husband thinks that it needs a stand on it. Can you add legs?

    yes thank you, the name is Bushies in Business. The colours I am thinking of include a green, royal blue and tan. I'll add a copy of my current logo. I like these colours but I don't like that the logo gets chopped off. Cowboy does not describe the Australian bushmen and women. You need to understand the difference.

    please confirm, your company name is : Bushies In Business. You are set in Australia with international connections. You would like a cowboy touch but not too cliche. do you have a color in mind?
