Contest Brief

Hello,

I hate reading (and writing) walls of text myself, so I'll go directly to business.

Our company is a tea (and beverage) company called "Rashfa" which in our local slang means "sip". We're looking for a logo for that company, and we have come up with some preliminary thoughts which you don't need to stick to.

Starting off with the requirements:
1- The color light green/ grass green should be there.
2- The logo should be friendly with scalability (it should be recognized when it's at the size of a finger tip/printed on a truck).
3- Simplicity is important, but it shouldn't limit your creativity.
4- A whole, or part of a leaf should be present.
5- The name "Rashfa" with a unique font should be next to or below the logo.
6- Please do not use a cup in the logo

Ideas we thought about:
1- Circle containing a light green fluid blending with white space
2- Tea leaf in a circle of white space, probably crossing the circle at an edge or two
3- A circle fully occupied by a part of a leaf, where it's zoomed in and you can see the vein breakdown of the leaf with the main stem of the leaf in the middle (I hope this made sense...).

We would appreciate if you try to work on those three ideas and hand in a fourth design where you are totally free to ignore our instructions and choose the shape and colors you like.

If you have anymore questions or clarifications please feel free to ask.

Thanks and good luck!

To make our final decision we made a survey to choose one of the top three logos, all of them have a unique beauty. And I personally love all of them (that's why we decided to make a survey!). In the end we had to choose only one. I believe that designers who did not make it to the top or those who have actively engaged, have gained a very good experience.

GOOD NEWS: There is a potential for "Mezaj" to be registered. I have to confirm that next Sunday hopefully. So no need to get frustrated as there is hope! For now, we can start working on the alternative name just in case. The emblems should stay the same.

The name will be formed by two words, one main and one secondary. "Rashfa tea" where the prominent clear word is "Rashfa" and the secondary smaller word is "tea".

UPDATE: Unfortunate news, we could not register the name "Mezaj" as we got informed it was taken. Therefore we shall go with the name "Rashfa" which means "sip". Fortunately, The requirements are still the SAME, but those who worked on typefaces, need to change the name. It is frustrating for me as much it is for you. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience.

UPDATE: Hello everyone: Try working with this one concept. Use a leaf as the emblem, the leaf should represent simplicity and freshness. Also use a "serif type font" (google it if you want to know better). The word must be separated from the leaf, and it needs to go along with it. Best results come when you add your own special twist to it. Good luck!

Use a maximum of two colors, and take into a account if the logo was small or big, is it easily readable?

Make sure to separate the word from the logo. Put the word below or next to the emblem but not inside it.
