Logo Design Brief
I am in the process of developing a t-shirt brand called 'Hercules Bear' and need a strong logo / brand identity to use as a branding.
The name 'Hercules Bear' is based on the famous wrestling bear in Scotland in the 80's/90's - if you google him you will find all the detail.
I want the brand to create the whole ethos of this amazing bear and translate the story in its designs / graphics. I need a logo that can be used in a prominent way in its own right - maybe not always with the full words, rather maybe with just a printed / embroidered 'Bear' marque.
Our t-shirts are going to positioned at the quality end of the t-shirt market with selling prices between £20-£30 on a good quality base garment using modern printing techniques to create interesting products. Some slogan designs will be added, as well as the odd photographic design, but the common theme will be the presence of the 'Hercules Bear' branding. I have visions that the brand positioning on the tees will be a little different and not just a bog standard chest placement. I would like some ideas for this too - maybe sleeve, shoulder branding would be good to explore.
Please email if you require more information.
Many thanks

Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: The majority of the designs I have received have been based on off the shelf vectors that are not unique to my logo. These have not been created from scratch for my project, rather downloaded and adapted. This is not what I need. I need something that I can be sure doesn't exist elsewhere so that my brand is protected properly.
Please submit proper newly created designs based on the brief.
I look forward to receiving new designs and building a long term relationship with the selected designer.
many thanks
