Creative brief

The buyer added updates to the brief. Read them.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

The Sewing Studio, a fashion design & modern sewing studio opened in Pasadena, CA to teach kids, teens, and young adults (ages 8 to 30) how to sew their own clothes inspired by popular famous fashion designers.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a new logo that will help build our brand in Los Angeles. It will be used on our website and need to associate us with a hip, young, do-it-yourself fashionista. The logo would also appear on our marketing materials including tee shirts, signage, business cards and fliers.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our target audiences are mostly upper-middle class working parents who pay for the fashion sewing classes for their kids and teenagers that are interested in fashion. Many of the students find us online and want to become fashion designers or just want to learn a new skill and gain a sense of accomplishment by creating something from nothing. All my students and their parents alike respect the credibility and association my staff and I have with the nearby college Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (www.fidm.com). My teen and young adult students all watch the popular TV show “Project Runway” and “The Hills”.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

While researching logos I found a few logos I'd like for you to see. I put these as examples only due to their amazingly stylish, creative and witty ideas. I want our logo to demonstrate this out-of-the-box kind of thinking.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

I absolutely must have my company name (The Sewing Studio) included in the logo design.

1st Note:
Please check out the six files under Materials for examples of people pushing the envelope. I love these logos. I just need mine to be related to fashion.

2nd Note:
I want our logo to be fashion-forward. I'm trying to emphasize we are not your grandmothers sewing classes. But we have fashion conscious students making fashionable clothes.

Here are 3 design shows you could use for font and color inspiration:
Project Runway - www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway
FIDM - http://fidm.edu/
The Fashion Show - www.bravotv.com/the-fashion-show/

Helpful info:

In my industry I utilize many tools yes the needle and thread but we have many more: (sewing machines, rulers, tape measures, sewing manikins, pens, notepads). Any of these tools could be integrated well into your logo. Use the needle and thread if you want but make it hot ;) I really would like to stress that with every design that you do, not to limit yourself. Just because someone else's entry scored well with one look, doesn't mean that is the route to take with your design.

I'm not against: colors, embossed looks, letter pressed, 3d, 2d, glossy, simplicity, depth, fashion silhouettes, etc. If you have a new idea or technique you've been wanting to test, try it out. Just make sure it ends up having a finished, refined, and clean look with a strong fashion influence. I will invest my time into the growth of good designs.

Thank you,

The Sewing Studio
