Logo Design Brief
Update June 24: I extended the deadline because I am seeing some good logos but I wanted to give you the opportunity to submit additional designs. I have a lot of logos that look more corporate, which I am not looking for. I need something more playful and welcoming. Imagine the outdoors, sun is shining, music is playing and we're out here to have a good time. A good vibes type of feeling. See in4mation or hinano clothing for reference.
New apparel brand needs a logo. The name of the brand is HICAL - The name is based on Hawaiian (HI) and Californian (CAL) cultural influences as well as island reggae music and laid-back local lifestyle. This brand started out from our family based in Hawaii and moved to California. We would like a brand logo that represents our cultural influences, our love for Hawaii and California, and our love for island reggae music.
I included some tribal tattoo designs. If it's possible, please include an aspect of this within the logo or name.
