My hand written icon is a recommendation, but the final logo does not have to look like it. Please feel free to be creative... I am not an marketeer, so if you have a better idea than what I have posted, please feel free to try it. I appreciate your efforts so far!

Maybe try to have the tag line "Where the Journey is The Destination" in another area(?) Above the bus(?)

You are doing a great job so , thank you... I think this project has a lot of opportunity for creativity ... feel free to get as creative as you wish or enhance my original hand written submission and try to improve on it.... I want to put these on t-shirts, side of my bus, business cards etc.... Inspire me!

Something that I like about the design that grabson submitted is that it has "movement" it in... almost like they are getting the "JOURNEY" idea in it....

Wow, you guys are good!
Added Wednesday, July 16, 2014

Hey All, I just changed my status to "award committed"... you guys are really good... and am willing to award 2nd , 3rd 4th prizes..... So far So good... Keep inspiring me! may have additional projects for you.....

You all are so impressive.... One note - There is a type bus that is "Split Window" (cooler looking bus) and what I have is a "Bay Window" bus.... even though I plan on adding Split window busses... I only have the bay window busses for now... So, please submit designs using "bay window" and try to add "Character" to them as they are the product I am trying to attract customers with... refer to the photos I posted... and I realize there are some split window renderings too.. .so sorry for the confusion. Good luck!

Hi All, you are amazing.... I updated the brief... summery .. . - need the bus to be a "Bay Window" bus (not the classic split window bus. - because of copyright, cannot have the classic VW Icon in my logo - "nice to have" would be the earth in there someplace ... maybe in place of the "VW Logo"

Updated Brief a little

Am planning on offering 2nd , 3rd prizes on this committed project... good jobs, keep it up!
Added Friday, July 18, 2014

HI All, I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your efforts... you are making it so difficult to choose and you are so attentive, I am planning on adding additional prize(s)... I want you to continue to come up with original ideas and I am not set on what I posted in my hand written idea... Also, I am *not* fixated on a particular font as long as it works with the design... but.... if you go retro (American 1970's), consider using fonts the were popular in the 70's... I just posed one SAMPLE (Does not have to be this font) on my brief... if I could make an attachment to this I would.... Anyway... review the brief (though it is getting long) again and see if something evolves... Like I said, I am planning on using at least 2 of your ideas (collectively ) ... Your ideas and creativity is amazing and there are a few who have set the bar very high... I don't know if you can see eachothers work... but, I hope you can.... Continue doing the work.. and if my FEEDBACK does not make sense (This IS my first time doing this).. please let me know... I want to help you help me.... Cheers and thanks again!

Also, I think it would be fair to award one of the top winners to do my website (as you can see, I have nothing)....IF you are interested and can....
Added Sunday, July 20, 2014

I just want to say how much I appreciate your efforts... amazing what you are coming up with .... Not sure if this makes sense, but if you do use a bus in the ad, please have the proportions correct... I don't mind it being a sketch, but it has to have the correct "look and feel"... Example Design #: 4156664 From : GliderGraphx has the bus dimensions down perfect. It has the balance and simplicity ... Study it, but not suggesting you copy it... it seems that it is a challenge to get the right version of the bus for many artists.... If the Bus looks "Awkward" to you, it will probably look it to me too.... Keep up the awesome work I am definitly going to use more that 2-3 design concepts... Another note: Since I will be putting these on T-shirts, side of my bus, glassware... it is better to be simple design/few collors... again, see what GliderGraphx has done as just one example.. I could have used a few other sumittals as examples.... Regards, Mike

Okay you amazing artists.... you are knocking my socks off with your creativity and attention to details... There is NO WAY I will be able to choose any less than 4 designs so far.. and I have no limit to the amount of solid designs I would like to have... I've posted pics on my brief for inspiration for you... I don't want you to copy, but use as inspiration... threre is some good stuff in there... and one of you has recently nailed it with a new colorful "Groovy" 1970's American design.... Again, these are only for inspiration... if you have an idea that you think is great and has nothing to do with the 70's that terrific.... WIll post 2nd 3rd 4th prizes soon unless there is another way to reward you accordingly... Great job everyone!
Added Wednesday, July 23, 2014

Okay.... I figured out how to do 2nd and 3rd prize... am trying to figure out how to have 4th etc prize installed.... Keep up the good work, I want all to be recognized and want to capture your good efforts for my new venture.... Thanks and keep up the amazing work..... Am hoping one of you is awarded the website and post card design portion as well... Cheers. LoveBusTours.com

HI All.... good morning..... just wanted to toss out that there are two "concepts" samples that I think you could make the look interesting for this project ... I posted two designs that I would like to see for this project... see brief for sample with "Cheap Trick" and "Misfits" sample..... I'd like to see what you could do with those.... Good luck... you all are superstars!
Added Thursday, July 24, 2014

I am looking into how to post 4th 5th etc place on this project... you all are so talented, i'd love to reward you all! thanks again, true love bus.....
Added Thursday, July 24, 2014

You all are so talented, amazing.... what you have all done with what I have posted in my brief.... great great job... I noticed that the "O" letter in of LoveBusTours.com comes at mostly the second letter ... I was wondering if we could do something with that... Maybe make one big heart and us that as the "O" and wrap the LoveBus Tours .com Around it..... (?) maybe... just something that popped in my head.... Cheers....

Just want to say, this has been the most pleasurable collaboration I've EVER been part of .... you guys ROCK! Complimentary LoveBusTour for all finalists and up to 5 of their friends/family..... So far, I see around 7 finalists......

Not sure if you are notified when I update the brief... just posted a few more pics/drawings for inspiration and accuracy... Cheers LoveBusTours....

Hello all.... just a heads up that you have been doing such a good job that I have contacted DesignCrowd to ask them if I can extend rewards beyond 1st 2nd 3rd prizes as have already posted.... I really want all you to be recognized as you are all winners.... it is going to be very difficult to choose 1st place as all of you are worthy of it.... Also, I will be needing my website developed so... maybe that can be some kind of prize.... don't know..... will keep you posted on what DC comes back to be with ..... At the very least, and if legally possible, I will send you a t-shirt with your logo on it... and/or a free tour on my buses... I realize that can be difficult for some of you... = ) Have a good weekend Brains! LoveBusTours.com

HI ALL,, Getting to the end of this project...but, no worries, there will be more.... Have been getting late entries... but if they are not near as good as what you have, I am requesting they not submit any more designs... most of you have been with me since the beginning, spent a good amount of time... and want to keep the rewards for those who work long, hard AND well..... Have been chatting with DesignCrowd management and still working out the details... but, what I want to do is offer , in addition to 1 to 3rd places... , 4th through whatever.... My budget has been already way over, but feel we can still come to a beneficial conclusion.... I can't offer what I have for 2/3 places, but would like as many of you a winning spot and positive DesignCrowd feedback/success percentage rate.... I am proposing a reward to those chosen beyond 3rd place and treat those exactly as 1/2/3rd prizes would administratively work. Just a heads up...something for you to consider... Though you've done 99% of the work, I think my timely (and hopefully thoughtful) feedback helped with the success of your ideas..... If this above works for you and you are open to turning over your work, I will also promise to send you a t-shirt (as soon as I get them made) , a monetary reward and an offer for a free tour if you are here in Carlsbad, CA... I know that will be tough for most of you..... Anyway, think about it..... you've all been terrific to work with and I am in awe of your creative genius.... Cheers, LoveBusTours....

HI SUPERSTARS, Sorry for the "Radio Silence" lately.... It has been very difficult to choose, but we are getting ready to make our final decisions.. Also, we have been trying to get additional funds for 4th through whatever places...... Hold tight! Thanks Mike......
Added Monday, August 18, 2014

Okay Folks... it was a difficult decision for top spot... You all are "right there" and we still have to decide on how many 2nd places there will be.. so far we have a budget of 2 additional spots apart from 1st... soooo will keep you posted after the "hand over" with GliderGraphx.... who currently holds #69 in the rankings and has amassed a lot of wins in their career here at Design Crowd.... Congrats ...... Hopefully things will progress and as promised, every one who "wins" will get a t-shirt with their design on it mailed to them... ONCE I get the t-shirt made.... Okay, have a great evening folks.... its NOT over! Cheers, Mike....
