Contest Brief
We are in need of a new logo for our martial arts academy that was est. 2000. Our academy name is Jeramy Black's TaeKwonDo Academy. We probably want to go with a letter based design (JB standing for our name and TKD abbr. for TaeKwonDo). Our website is also JBTKD.com so it will be cohesive. Probably some separation in the JB and TKD rather than written together as JBTKD. We DO NOT want any typical martial arts images in it such as kicks, temples, swords, mascots, etc. That is overdone and we want fresh and new. We want the logo to be recognizable even without our academy name listed under it so we need an aesthetically pleasing image that is letter based. We wear black uniforms with gold monogramming and will add this logo to a new patch for the uniform, so no neon or pastels. We like silver, gold, black, red, and royal blue. Bold, simple, and clean is what we want so we can easily monogram it on apparel and it be legible. We are a family friendly academy with the majority of students being juniors so it needs to be non-intimidating to appeal to the parents and adult students alike. No cartoony looks at all. When looking at logo examples, we tend to choose symetrical logos but may be open to others. With so many logos going from business names to iconic symbols/images, this is what we want. This logo will be the base of a complete image update at our academy so I will hire the specific freelance artist I choose to design business cards, letterhead, uniform patches, etc. after the initial design. Thanks and I look forward to seeing your ideas! Please see our website at jbtkd.com for current image logos, images, patches.

Employer Feedback
“This designer gave us exactly the type of business logo we wanted. His design stood out among the 50+ we received. He was very easy to communicate with and was quick to get back to us and make the revisions we requested. I would highly recommend this designer and would definitely hire him again in the future. ”

Sorry for the delay in response. The submissions that we find the most appealing are 47,48, and 23. We like these because the letters can be stand alone or written with the business name and the JBTKD is connected and fluid rather than just separate letters. Many of the design are very appealing and clean, just too formal for what we need in the fitness industry. We like the heavier, bold lettering and cleanliness of the ones listed above. We like the connected letters of 49 but need a less contemporary version. I am afraid this one will date too quickly for us and we don't want to change again any time soon. Thanks and I look forward to seeing the progress by tomorrow. We have seen several designs that we like as a stand alone design rather than a logo and may make offers to some of you to purchase as a t-shirt design.

NathanNi-Like the concept but we have a local construction company that has the same initials and very close to this logo.

Acaluvneca-Like the idea of the TKD being connected but in a different type of lettering that was more obvious K. Don't care for the orange if edit could be a different color (could be gold but appears orange on my screen).

Virgoxblue - thanks for the color variations, the design is a little more plain than we like. I'd like to see a design that took a different direction than those shown as most are looking so similar.

Virgoxblue-nice design for a tshirt but with the colored background and the shaded letters, would be hard to embroider this as a logo.

thank you for you quick response regarding the design. I was putting this together based on your brief as well as the fact that your uniforms were black with gold trim. I was under the impression that it was a patch or was to be considered for a patch. I will take your feedback and submit something more along that. Thanks.

Thank you for your fast response-we want something more bold, heavier letters and bigger and brighter. Like the symmetry but doesn't have to have a box around it.
