Contest Brief

We would like a logo for use on our company website and marketing materials (PowerPoint, Word). Our firm's name is Bowline Capital Partners and we are a private equity firm focused on buying companies, enhancing them, and then selling them. The bowline knot is a simple knot used to form a fixed loop at the end of a rope and we would like to incorporate the knot into the logo. The font family we are currently using for our PowerPoint presentation is Palatino Linotype but we are not married to it. However, the ultimate font choice should be relatively conservative as this is a finance business.

We prefer classic to edgy. We also do not want any incorporated knot to look like a hangman noose (understand the bowline is difficult to work with). I'm not an artist, but I think the bowline knot looks a bit like the letter B to me and can be used for the first letter of the name. Another thought I have is doing the firm name in rope.

I have included and image of our current deck cover (as well as some bowline knot pictures). The logo in the upper left hand corner is what we are looking to replace (i scrapped the knot image from a jpeg on Google Search) and really is currently a placeholder. We do like the blue (R - 0, G - 32, B - 96) and red (R - 149, G - 55, B - 53) that are currently the color schemes in the deck but again aren't married to them.

PLEASE DO NOT WITHDRAW ENTRIES. WE LOST ONE THAT I THOUGHT WAS PRETTY GOOD BECAUSE I ASKED IF A COLOR COULD BE CHANGED. I WILL GIVE MY FEEDBACK WHEN I SEE THE DESIGNS, BUT WE WILL HAVE 3 PEOPLE VOTING ON THE ULTIMATE WINNER AND I CAN BE EASILY OVERRULED.

By submitting you are agreeing that if chosen, we would be obtaining the copyright for the logo or perpetual license for the logo for the contest winnings you ultimately receive.
