Cancelled Paid on delivery

We need a logo for our new business, Allende Charters.

Deliverables:

Two versions of a sugar skull logo

--A large, complex version that can be used as a fine art piece

--A simplified, scaled-down, one-color version for uniform embroidery and printed promotional products

Logos to be delivered as .eps files, with full rights to use and reproduce the images in our marketing efforts.

Background Information:

Allende Charters will begin operating a charter vessel in the Caribbean in November 2016. Our boat is named Allende, and will be formally known as S/V Allende. S/V stands for “sailing vessel” and is the way we will introduce the boat using the VHF radio. Our business will initially be based in the US Virgin Islands and we’ll sail both the USVI and the British Virgin Islands with our guests. We can host up to six adult guests at a time on our luxury 44' catamaran. There are three available cabins with Queen-sized beds and en-suite bathrooms, and plenty of common space for relaxing. Charters are all-inclusive: meals, beverages and activities (excursions, snorkeling etc.) Unlike a cruise, however, the owner/operators will design trips to suit guests and every aspect can be customized—including schedule, destinations and menu.

Sailing vacations have all the best parts of a beach vacation – combining fun in the sun, water sports, great food, and a warm atmosphere.

The word “allende” is Spanish and translates as “beyond” or “from the other side.” We’ll refer to that translation first when people inquire about our boat name. Allende also refers to the town of San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico. It’s a magical part of Mexico; gentrified and accessible while maintaining an authentic culture. It’s known for having the most festivals of any city in Mexico—and the locals turn out in force.

S/V Allende is:

Authentic, friendly, adventurous and fresh.

Curated – we’ll display selected treasures from around the world.

S/V Allende is not:

The “yachtiest” boat out there – you won’t find seashell or anchor décor on our boat.

We hope to expand the market for sailing charters (beyond travelers who already consider this an option), and as a result we hope prospective clients will think of Allende as a boutique hotel. We want to bring the "Design Hotel" concept to the water.

We’ve been inspired by imagery from the Dia de los Muertos celebrations, sugar skulls in particular (another connection between Allende and Central Mexico). While we’re open to other ideas, we’d like to explore using a custom-illustrated line drawing of a sugar skull as our logo.

We’re attracted to this image/theme for several reasons:

• We like the complexity and detail that sugar skulls often display. There’s room to include patterns with hidden details to discover—wind or waves for example. Chance to incorporate nods from other cultures (Possible inspiration from Henna tattoos?)

• Sugar skulls generally convey a fun and friendly connotation through what would otherwise be a scary subject

• They pay homage to those that have come before us – a great way to blend the old with the new

In addition to our serving as our logo, we’re interested in using the sugar skull artwork as decor. We are investigating die-cut vinyl decals to use as wallpaper in guest cabins and imagine zooming in on parts of the image for this decoration.

Our sugar skull needs to be friendly and approachable, not scary.
