Contest Brief

I need a professional business logo worked on. I have a work-in-progress draft of a logo that is based off of a boat that needs to be converted into calligraphy brush-strokes.

The design of the logo should be simple and minimalist, following the outlines of the boat. The three letters, LEH should be used in place of the sails. Two colours, red for the boat body and gold for the letters.

The outlines themselves that form the logo need to be drawn using calligraphy styled brush-strokes with minor splatters and a flowing but varying widths.

The original boat image is included below and the work-in-progress should give an indication of what needs to be done. Also included is a sample image of a finished calligraphy-styled boat drawing.

The winning image will be one that is best able to bring out the nautical theme of the boat while incorporating the letters LEH in a clear manner into the logo. All while balancing between using a brush and keeping it clean and minimalist.
