Logo Design Brief
I am creating a hyper-local brand of clothing , stickers, and branded merchandise.
The community we are highlighting is Noblesville, Indiana USA. This is the only town or city on earth named Noblesville. We want a simple, graphic icon based logo that can be easily reproduced on many different products.
Some iconic features about Noblesville. Our downtown features STAR bricks - which are semi-ly unique, but have appeared as a design theme in the city logo. The courthouse is a source of local pride after a very expensive and lengthy restoration. We have a covered bridge (potters bridge) that is a commonly referenced amenity.
Any abstraction of these 3 things could be appealing. Best case scenario the logo would be graphically driven, and appealing for a 25 yr old suburban or urban person. Should be simple without too much detail or adornment. 3 colors or less. Should also be able to be reproduced in b/w.
Can use the abbreviation of TON for The Only Noblesville if it lends itself to the design
