Logo Design Brief
Ollie Williams Media is a communications company covering a range of projects: mostly northern Canadian, with some sports also involved.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE NEXT PARAGRAPH! (Currently, many designs submitted are ignoring the next paragraph - which is vital.)
The company needs a clean, simple and professional logo which communicates a northern background (think pine trees, anything cold/Arctic, aurora - although aurora is often overused in this part of the world so it'd need to be reeeeally good/different - log cabins, northern wildlife e.g. moose/bears/wolves, snow, ice, lakes, things like that). Ideally not mountains, however.
The logo can't be TOO cartoonish. It needs to suit use on everything from paperwork and advertising hoardings to TV and social media. (If need be, there can be several different takes on the same basic logo theme, each for potential use on different platforms - that's fine.)
The logo text can either simply read "Ollie", or "OWM", or "Ollie Williams Media" - whichever works. Pastel colours preferred - feel free to use the colours of your choice if you have an idea that works, or you can look at a palette of greens, blues, browns.
