Event logo: Concept 1

I'm drafting a few concepts for the logo based on a previous meeting with Rock Events. I presented a scattering of basic typographic logos which went down well on this first occasion.

As preliminary sketches these went down well, with a particularly strong response to the serif treatment first posted. The client wanted me to try and integrate a dog collar into the typography, which I was unsure about to say the least. I tried many ways to do this subtly and eventually found a way that seemed extremely simple, yet I think quite effective.



This will be the main concept I pitch to the client when we next meet next week. Other themes he wanted me to explore were Art Deco-based and a more regal treatment to take into account there will be a state presence. I had a beautiful illustrated regal logo drawn out, then Illustrator crashed and I lost the lot. The deco theme currently looks like this:

...which would give potential for a very linear design theme, but I need to work on it to make it easier to read.

Thinking on.
