Logo Design Brief
Design Objective
We’re looking for a logo that captures the spirit of Magnetic Island living — relaxed yet bold, beachy yet refined, social yet effortlessly cool. The logo should reflect our personality and translate seamlessly across signage, menus, uniforms, social media, and merchandise.
Your design should make people want to pull up a chair, order a drink, and stay a while.
Brand Personality
Think of The Deck as:
Bold – confident and eye-catching without being loud
Beachy – inspired by sand, sea, and sunshine
Relaxed – natural and easygoing, never forced or corporate
Fun – a place to unwind and connect
Lively – social, energetic, and welcoming
Design Direction
Style: Vintage surf meets coastal chic. Nostalgic but modern, with a clean aesthetic that feels timeless and authentic to island life.
Colour Palette: Open to designer interpretation — feel free to explore fresh, sun-bleached tones or classic coastal contrasts.
Typography: Should feel approachable and memorable. Hand-rendered, script, or bold serif styles are all welcome if they fit the brand spirit.
Symbols: No icons or pictorial marks are required — the typography and composition should carry the identity.
Logo Requirements
Your design should include:
Primary logo featuring The Deck
Tagline: “Magnetic Island”
Versions that work on both light and dark backgrounds
A design that scales well for signage, menus, uniforms, and social media
