Contest Brief

We're building a new - and therefore small - gourmet chocolate e-store and I want your help in creating an outstanding visual identity for our company.

The company's name is Schaerbeek - in a tribute to the homonymous Begian city - so any visual references to Belgium are welcome, but absolutely optional.

We want to positioning our brand as a fine chocolate maker that is modern but also has classic/traditional elements. We're aiming at potencial clients that are chocolate lovers aged between 20-45, maybe female majority, ambicious, successful and some of them wealthy.

The deliverables we're asking are:
1 - Logo: Should be elegant but clean. May have the company's name but it's not mandatory. Colors are free, but avoid using more than three - We've been thinking of dark brown (we sell Chocolate!), golden, peach or champagne, but remember, it's up to you, okay?

2 - (Optional) Simplified version of the Logo: If the Logo can't be resized to fit small surfaces or if it needs to be adapted to be printed in black and white only I ask you to create a simplified verson of it.

3 - Color palette to be used in our special products, very distinct and luxurious. It should be applied in the Logo. I suggest black, dark brown (if not used in the default version) or silver.

4 - Color palette to be used in our diet products, something like white, light blue, yellow or light green. It should be applied in the Logo.
5 - Color palette to be used in our love theme products. Something like red or light pink shoud work. It should be applied in the Logo.
6 - Color palette to be used in our childish products. It must be unissex like orange, yellow, white or light green. It should be applied in the Logo (again).

The choosen artist must send the files in their original format (Photoshop, Illustrator etc.), but I need also the Corel Draw version of it. I ask too for the files in final image format (Jpeg or PNG). All the fonts and colors used must be send as well.

This materials will be used in our web site, business cards, flyers, packages, e-mail signatures etc.

Please don't use clip-arts. We need something new and cool.

I'm sure you all alread know it, but I enforce that I'll have the rights over the winning work.

I'm looking foward to make long term business with the winning artist.

Please feel free to ask me anything!

Thanks and good luck!

Hello! First of all thank you for submitting your wonderful designs. I didn't expect to find so much great professionals here. I'll have a meeting with my partners in a couple of hours where we'll try to decide which design is more aligned with our ideas and maybe we'll close this contest a little sooner than expected.Thank all of you again and sorry if I failed to guide you correctly in this contest. I really hope to work with you again soon!

  I need one version to be used in large scale and some variations to specific use in themed products. We can change the logo color itself or just vary its background.

  Hi!! Thanks for your interest!!! I'll need all of them in the end, but I can choose the best Logo without all the color variations I asked. But I'll need the item 2 if the Logo can't be resized as described.
