Creative Brief

Project name

Logo, Monogram or Icon - SE (Slightly Embellished)

Design Text

SE or Slightly Embellished

Tagline

Slightly Embellished

Include this tagline in my logo.

Yes

Describe who/what this design is about

My full name is Slightly Emebellished, but I am going by SE because I now have four stores (SE vintage, SE accessories, SE papergoods, SE Sllightly Embellished)

I would like the SE to be the focus but the design should allow me to swap out the tagline for each store

Industry type

Handmade Crafts

What kind of design are you looking for?

Logo Type

Abstract Mark

Initials

Web 2.0

How would you describe the effect in your logo:(Check all that apply)

Cutting-Edge
Unique/Creative
Clean/Simple
Sophisticated
Modern
Fun

What colors would you like?

I was originally doing black and green but I couldn't get the tones right so I am open to different colors. I like rich, deep color. Jewel (turquoise, mustard, eggplant, burnt orange) and earth tones (grass green, neutral browns, greys)

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

Ideas:
I would like a way to meld the S and the E together. But I've sketched dozens of logos with no luck if the melding of the letters doesn't work for you, feel free to flex your creative juices :-)

Nothing that looks 80's

Here is my current logo:

I prefer the softer, rounder, less blocky designs. I also like the ones with script/cursive/calligraphy

I think I prefer the logos where the tagline is next to the logo, not under it. Even better is the logo is part of the tagline. I like those best

here is a link to one of my favorite logos. Simple. clean. a little bit of flourish and a pop of color. I hope this makes things clearer http://www.logodesignbuzz.com/creativelogos/electric-smiling-logo-design/

Please don't work about getting the colors in-line right away. If it's easier to just do black, please do. Thanks!

all 3 of my shops deal with fibers of some sort. I'm not sure if that detail helps at all but I thought it would offer it up

I am also open to texture/pattern or a little bit of flourish (nothing too girly)

Please don't be afraid to add a slight embellishment on it. I want it clean, with a little bit of something to make it stand out. Some of the designs are coming across as too corporate. Thanks again for all your submissions!

Please don't forget that I have 4 taglines that I need to swap out. All designs must account for that. Thanks!

Just a friendly reminder. I am looking clean, modern and fun. Nothing too corporate. Nothing that looks like it could work with for a bank or a law firm

Sacril, Thanks for your submissions. For #10, can you make the green brighter and maybe add a little dimension? By the way, love your work on the Martinez and Albert Hurtado logos
