Brief Summary

UPDATE 8/30: I will not have time to review the designs and give feedback today. The contest has been extended so that we have time to carefully complete each entry. Hopefully, we will not need the full two extra days to wrap this up.

NOTE 8/26: I wanted to share a link to a website with a number of very nice examples of Clean Simple Modern designs. You may find some inspiration here: http://www.hardformat.org/

UPDATE 8/26: "Logo-Text" guidelines changed, please refer to brief. Designs using the supplied logo will be accepted.

UPDATE 8/25: Please refer to the end of the Design Brief for some creative guidelines. Thanks!

Hello!

I'd like my company logo enhanced with great text, along with a great clean and simple design for business cards, a CDR, and stationary!

This contest is for a small audio production business. I have a nice website, colors, and logo, and I'm excited to see your design for business cards and logo text. The company, Bove Audio, is a small audio production firm, which specializes in high quality mobile audio recording. Our customers are generally classical and jazz musicians, who will appreciate your awesome design!

We're looking for a clean, simple, stylish design for these materials.

I will give a lot of feedback, I'm very excited about seeing the designs, and I'm looking forward to carefully commenting on each one!

    I'm happy to answer questions and comment an all the designs, please let me know if you have any questions! As you develop the logo text, take a look at the BoveAudio.com website to make sure your text will work nicely displayed on the webpage. The current logo text is a customized version of Myrad Pro, if you'd like to create something similar.

    re: Carbunash, PSD files: I'm not a printing expert, but I imagine that PSD files are ok. The logo text files will need to be in a vector format, in case I later need to resize them.

    Note: For the logo text, there is no requirement for lowercase text or uppercase text. BOVE AUDIO, bove audio, Bove Audio are all ok. ("bOvE aUdiO" would Not be recommended)

    Yes, the post by Carbunash is correct! JPG submissions are fine, we only need the High Quality for the final source file. Sounds great!

    I'll also be happy to consider entries using only part of the included logo graphics, such as just the text bubble and text, leaving out the bird. Example here: http://boveaudio.com/logo/Logo_alternate_example.jpg

    If you like, feel free to experiment with text that appears handwritten, or simple letters connected somehow.

    UPDATE 8/26: After viewing and considering all the concepts presented so far, I have clearer ideas about the type of entry that will emerge as the winner of this contest. In an effort to keep things focused on this goal, I'm adjusting the “logo-text” aspect of the brief. Please refer to the brief for more info.

    I have a question for all of you: Through my work with Bove Audio, I come into contact with many musicians releasing new recordings, and who need packaging design. I have not seen many CD packaging design projects on 99designs, but would you be interested in working on them? I would love to recommend that my clients use you for their packaging. Let me know what you think. I am impressed with the quantity of great ideas from everyone working on this project. Thanks again to all of you for sharing your creative talents!
