The Airport CEO Business Design Contest

[lemon1324]

Is there a specific end date, or will you just select submissions as you find ones you like?

I’m hoping for at least a couple weeks as I’ll be traveling.

I think the end of the submissions Is when the logos are already enough for the game.

• Logo and name must not be similar to existing companies or brands.

So this means that we can’t do a parody on an existing company?

Those should be legally okay, as long as no reasonable person would confuse your logo for actually being the real company.

Not sure if the devs want to play it safe and not have those at all, that’s up to them.

haha Chimp approves.

I am now struggling with photoshop.

Good to see plenty of people who are not having as much trouble with PS as me.

Really awesome designs so far! Just a small note, do not add too small text. It will not be readable as the logo will be downsized in the game.

No, we want to keep it safe and I think it would be more professional and unified to only use made up names in the game. A mix would be quite wierd. We are also planning to change the CLM and NAS airline to something more made up.

Yea, something like that. Depends on how many suggestions we get.

Just a warning there is a restaurant called Tropical Smoothie Cafe so just to let you know its close to another actually copyright name

[Olof]

I love this community… so many mind-blowingly awesome submissions!

I don’t think that is a problem, there is probably hundreds of other cafes/bars/restaurant which contains the word “tropical”. What we meant was that we cannot accept altered version of well established brands like for example Starbucks.

ok just wanted to let him know and I can’t find out how to insert an image into it let the hunting begin

[blt950]

Could you specify the scale down dimension approx. it would be sized down to, so we can test that our submissions are still readable?

[creepyboyNL]

Nice one @blt950

[Ryan]

As soon as I figure things out, photoshop decides to freeze up on me. As I will edit the logo into this post later, here is the description of the shop.

Name: Taste of Earth, founded 2002

Category: Medium-to High prices

Food: Buffet of many different foods from countries around the globe.

Backstory: Timothy Chang, a food lover always hated that you had to go to a bunch of restaurants to get good international cuisine. He also wished airport food was better. He decided to start a small buffet in Chicago O’ Hare, serving many kinds of international food, at a good price and even better quality, It is now in many large airports, giving you a taste of your destination before you are there.

CEO: Timothy Chang

Mine is Tropical Café in Brazilian Portuguese, I put it in English so the developers could understand what it was.
