Creative Brief


Frozen Dessert Logo

Gianella's

italian ice

Yes

This will be a mobile pushcart business selling Italian ice, which is very popular here in the Northeast US. It is different than ice cream, gelato or frozen yogurt because it's mostly water, no cream. It's also different because it's served in some size of drinking cup, usually, not in a cone or small cup. It has its own unique appearance, which I'm trying to have captured in the design so that it is instantly recognizable to people at the places I will sell. The graphic will be on a pushcart and has to be visible from a distance, being able to see/understand what the product is from far away, before reading the words.

italian ice appeals to kids, teenagers and parents/adults, so the logo has to appeal to a wide age group. Nothing cartoonish, though, please. I'm looking to convey that it's a traditional, loved product but way better than anything around the area. My company will be unique in that I'll use biodegradable cups and spoons, when no one selling Italian ice does. Everything about the company is green and forward-thinking. I want something inviting, interesting, somewhat elegant without being too feminine or expensive looking and still fun and approachable.

Everything about this business is a contradiction in terms. Traditional product, new approach. Typically sold in cities, but I'm selling in suburbs. Business feel is similar to frozen yogurt shops, but more exciting and also mobile. Also, the business is seasonal, usually only sold during the summer months.

Lime Green and White are essential. My cart umbrella is Lime Green, and needs to be picked up in the graphic logo, but not overdone. Royal Blue in moderation may also be used. The logo will be placed against a Fuschia background when wrapped around the cart, so it needs to really pop out visually. But it will also go on white T-shirts, so it would be great if it could work both ways.

Because my product is not frozen yogurt, I'd like to stay away from that trendy look. If it's possible to create something that borders on the frozen yogurt look (I do share the progressive approach of being green), while still being totally unique, hipper and slightly more fun, without falling over into cutesy or childish, that's what I'm after. The name Gianella's also has to be readable, since it's unusual. I'm interested in sophisticated but quirky.

    Shadows and bevels, that's what's needed, so it looks more dimensional.

    I'm narrowing the colors down to only lime green, deep magenta, white and possibly, possibly a little black for accent, but not sure about the black. #19 is getting close to the look I want. Let's not use the green cup bottom, the white with gray pleats was perfect. The top scoop definitely should be green, no other colors. Green top, white bottom for drawing. Gianella's in fuschia/magenta with outlining and the words italian ice in clean font under Gianella's to the right. I'm finally seeing it come to life! Thanks everyone!

    Attention Designers, MycroBurst permits you to submit unlimited designs with unlimited variations. However, if you show 2 or 3 different color versions of the same logo in one draft, please make sure that if that draft gets finalized, each color version is separated before final files are sent out. Thanks, MB/LDG Team

    I think I gave confusing instructions. I meant that the image could go behind the text, not above. Looking for a more modern take. It can resemble some frozen yogurt logos, but of course it has to have a different shaped cup look. And I don't want the text to look futuristic. I really want the image to be one unit that pops out of the fuschia pushcart background, but can also stand on its own (for shirts). I also need slightly fewer colors to save on printing costs. What if the tops of the italian ice (curves) went over the a, n, and e of Gianella's? And drips of italian ice could be the dot of the 'i' and the apostrophe, or just one of those. And let's try just one really great cup of italian ice. Thanks for your drafts!

    How about on #11 if you tighten the components, outlining the name to make it stand out and look bigger, then placing it over the cups and bringing italian ice up smaller, all lowercase and in a font that makes the letter a's look round (don't know the name) and modern. Maybe the entire set can be outlined so it looks like one unit.

    What about some cute, quirky fonts for the main company name, such as Pharmacy or Pepinot or something along the lines of cute, but classy?

    It's great to see some new takes. #3 has the right color background for my cart and also the proportions I was looking for in Name and tagline. I really like the way the cups are tilted in #9 and #10. That gives more life to the image. I'd like to see a prettier font that matches the name, please, and more movement in the main name too. Some wave or curve, perhaps. And also, I like the way "italian ice" is set off smaller and with a background, like in #1-3, but I'm picturing a clean, modern font. If there's any way to make "italian ice" looks almost like white neon, it might jump out without having to be big. Hope this helps narrow it down some. While I like the color in the designs, I'm shooting for more sophisticated combinations than I'm currently seeing. I look forward to some great, new drafts. Thanks!

    #6, Could I please see this design without the plate or spoons and a color other than brown? I'm trying to keep it lively and tropical, but not too crazy. Also, the image will sit against a fuschia (deep magenta) background, so it would really help me if you can submit the draft with that background. I appreciate your efforts.

    Designers, I want to make sure you don't spend any unnecessary time on revisions, so please visit the URLs at the end of this message to see the classic look of Italian Ice. It's not at all like frozen yogurt or ice cream or snow cones. And there are no toppings. It's a dome-shaped scoop in a cup. Traditionally the cup is pleated, so many people know exactly what it is when they see the pleated cup and the slightly overflowing scoop of ice on top. I'm sharing these links of images to show you the specific shape I need in the logo for recognizability by my customers, not for any other design suggestions. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks so much! http://www.franchisesolutions.com/franchise/Little_Jimmys_Italian_Ices.cfm http://www.freewebs.com/divineminis-more/repiccisitalianice.htm http://www.google.com/imgres?start=95&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&sa=N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1120&bih=543&tbm=isch&tbnid=KuQ873rjOStUwM:&imgrefurl=http://americanclassicfl.com/%3Fpage_id%3D26&docid=1MToUEx_JmZXjM&imgurl=http://americanclassicfl.com/acf/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ITALIAN-ICE-1.jpg&w=580&h=236&ei=epGyT4KcD4Ll6QHi2fmoCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=727&vpy=203&dur=3279&hovh=143&hovw=352&tx=238&ty=92&sig=101757127530131734511&page=8&tbnh=91&tbnw=224&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:95,i:29 Lilly
