Concept Directions
We currently have two creative directions in mind for the Chicago edition. Both are meant as inspiration - we are open to your artistic interpretation, but we strictly request that no AI generation tools are used in your workflow. We want authentic, human-crafted graphic design.
CONCEPT 1: The BEAM Cloud Gate (The Modern Bean)
This concept plays on the famous Chicago “Bean” (Cloud Gate)
• The Core Element: A modern, stylized, and graphic representation of Chicago’s “Bean” placed in the center.
• The Action/Interaction: Elixir drops (in the official conference colors) are either falling onto the Bean or beautifully reflecting off its surface.
• Style: Clean, modern, and vector-based. It should not look like a heavy, realistic, painterly artwork. Think sleek lines, smooth gradients, and geometric harmony.
• Inspiration Note: We are visualizing this based on an AI-generated reference image we like, but it is purely for mood/vibe inspiration. We expect a completely original, human-designed interpretation.
• Typography (Crucial for this concept): Underneath the graphic, we want a clean, minimalist typographic layout. We absolutely love the typography style used for “ElixirConf EU AI sample” (simple, modern font) rather than the strict official logo. It should read:
ElixirConf US – Chicago 2026
CONCEPT 2: Chicago Flow & Integrated Drops
This concept merges the iconic landmarks of Chicago with the fluid, organic shapes of the Elixir drops.
• The Core Element: The composition is built around the three iconic Elixir drops.
• The Integration: Woven seamlessly between or inside the drops are characteristic elements of Chicago’s skyline and culture.
• Specific Chicago elements to include/blend:
-The Vertical Theater Sign: The legendary “Chicago” neon sign, reimagined text-wise or structurally.
- Music/Blues Vibes: Subtle nods to Chicago’s jazz/blues heritage (e.g., abstract instrument lines, wavy music flows).
- Architecture & The Bean: Subtle outlines of the city’s famous skyscrapers and the Cloud Gate.
• Style: Lighter, graphic, and highly structured. The composition should feel balanced, less busy than traditional street-art, and naturally combine tech with local culture. We are also attachig our last 2026 and 2025 designs for ElixirConf EU and US as an inspiration.
Logo & Typography
For the branding on the shirt, we want to skip the heavy/strict official logo. Instead, we want to go with a clean, typographic version that fits the modern, minimalist style of the illustration (inspired by the ElixirConf EU text layout):

Thank you very much! We’re excited to see your human-crafted concepts and are happy to explore variations based on these directions.
