Fluid Philosophies' Logo Design

Fluid Philosophies

No

I want to design a logo for my new organization, Fluid Philosophies. The function of the organization will be to raise money and awareness for some of Nepal’s young, elite kayakers. Further, I want to be able to use this money to support creative projects for myself and these boys. The logo will be used on the website, print media and T-shirts. The organization is Kathmandu-based, Himalayan inspired and rooted in river culture.

I have an idea in my mind of what I want as the logo, but lack the design talent to bring it to physical reality.

Firstly, I want the main image of the logo to be portrait silhouette of a sadhu (Hindu holyman). Something with the perspective such as:

http://media.lonelyplanet.com/lpimg/18902/18902-6/preview.jpg

I want the sadhu to have a turban as well as a beard.

To contrast this, I want the sadhu to be wearing very sporty sunglasses such as the Oakley M-Frame. As seen here:

These are traditionally worn by very elite athletes. To contrast the image of the sadhu further, I want the sunglasses to be worn with Chums: sport sunglass holders such as this:

http://store.ocscsailing.com/catalog/chums_main.jpg

http://www.muskyhuntercatalog.com/image/cache/data/chums-500x500.jpg

These are typically worn by kayakers and rafters. In the logo, I want them to be visible and draping down the neck of the sadhu.


Underneath the portrait of the Sadhu, I want “Fluid Philosophies” to in a similar font as the designer Salvatore Ferragamo:

As for colours, I want the sadhu portrait to be black and white and the font to be the colour, RAL 6000 according to the following chart: http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/gallery/ral2.jpg

I want this logo to be inspiring, provocative and cool. I want it to represent the culture of Nepal, the simple lifestyles of kayakers, contrasted with the irony of a sadhu wearing high-end sport sunglasses. The chums are a symbol of a river-runner.

The organization seeks to empower young, uneducated Nepali boys to find outlets for their creativity and tell their own stories using technology and media.

    Also, I would also like a draft without the chums, just for perspective. They seem in draft #4 to be connected with the collar line. If they could be positioned differently in another draft that would be awesome!

    Also, would be curious to see a draft with a smile rather than a somber face. Looks great though!

    Wow. Really happy with concept #4! The only thing I would like to change would be to have the turban a bit higher with a wrap or two more. Definitely close to my minds' eye!

    I want the perspective to be like the first picture of this link. The other pictures should provide some detail. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/tags/sadhu/interesting/

    Also, the name of my organization is "Fluid Philosophies" not Liquid Philosophy. I want the sadhu to be more illustrative, more of a side-angle and a lot less detail. A bit more contemporary and modern feel to it. A bit like the new KFC logo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/KFC_logo.svg Here is a better example of a clear-head shot that i want. Just like this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2198/2335190866_eb20404a57.jpg
