Design a Logo, Mark & Pattern Background

Contest Brief

Hi, I am relaunching my business' branding using my name rather than a company name as I am building my technical consulting brand as a personal brand.

I have attached a complete brand bible that you MUST review before beginning the work.

The brand name is "ANTHSIMO" and in most cases will be presented as @anthsimo or @ANTHSIMO - depending on how the logo comes up.

I need a 'mark' developed for the brand. A mark must be something simple but uniquely branded to be mine. I'd like this mark to resemble the two letters in my initials "A" and "S".

Please ask for my input if you're unsure about the mark.

In addition, I need this mark to be tile-able, so that I can turn it into a subtle pattern background (similar to the kinds of patterns you find on http://subtlepatterns.com).

My domain name is anthsimo.com - I haven't built my website yet as I am waiting on these brand elements to be complete.

There has been a question of "What is a mark" - a brand mark is a distinctive symbol which can be used separately from the name of the brand. It should be unique and iconic enough that when used on its own it is clearly and quickly identified as my brand.

    Hi CH, the winning entry is a good design, but I doubt it would make a good seamless pattern that you've requested. Anyway, congrats.

    Good afternoon, Anthony! I'm racking my brain to create a unique design to exceed your expectations. Were it not bother you, could answer me representing you, a word that defines you?

      Heh, not sure I agree with stubbornness; generally a negative connotation. But if I've been stubborn I'm open to hearing about it.

    Hello! I started working on this project and i have many ideas but i have a question regarding the logo. Do you prefer to have the logo as singular shape - isolated from the text, or do you want the two to fuse together as a whole? Thank you, Anca.

      Thanks for your question. The logo/mark can be both separated or incorporated with the text. Happy either way just needs to be striking, unique and beautifully branded.

      A mark is like a distinct symbol

      • 7 years ago
    2. anthsimo

      • 7 years ago

      It needs to be a distinct brand mark that I can use on its own without any wording and have the audience recognise easily that it's my brand.

    Hi everyone, so far some great submissions have come in, and there have been some really poor attempts. I've deliberately set the prize high because I want to see some really outstanding work. The passion that I put into the words in the brand bible are important, please try to reflect them.
