Hello, I'm the designer who wrote in this perjoct. I'd like to thank all of you who took the time to comment; it really means a lot to me. I was approached to take on this perjoct by a fellow curler who happened to be a member at my curling club as well as Long Island. Long Island is a fairly new club, so I don't think there was really a long history of attachment to the existing logo. I was asked to come up with something new, something different, something cool. Being an active member of a curling club gave me the opportunity to see many diverse curling club logos, some very old with lots of tradition behind them, and others more modern and contemporary. I come from a commercial art background, and marketing is in my blood. When I compete in different clubs, I always look at the club's logo. The first question I ask myself is, Would I buy something with that logo on it? If the answer is no, then I feel in some way that the design has failed. On the other hand, if I see a logo that I'm really drawn to aesthetically, I am more often than not inclined to buy something from the gift shop with that logo on it, because it looks great. To me, that's a major aspect of a successful brand. Many curling clubs are non-profits and run on the funds they raise from memberships, hosted events, bar sales and gift-shop sales. With this in mind, I tried to come up with a design that would lend itself well to marketing merchandise. I tried to incorporate an image that is associated with Long Island. When I think of Long Island, I think of fishing, lighthouses, beaches, and vineyards. (No offense to Long Islanders for oversimplifying :-)After reading through all of the comments, I realize there is room to keep exploring other possibilities. Someone commented, What does a fish have to do with curling? For the record, my curling club has been around for over 100 years. Our logo has a duck holding a curling stone. One might wonder, What does a duck have to do with curling? Apparently, there is great significance to the duck dating back to the late 1800s. For this reason, I don't feel that the logo needs to convey a literal message to everyone. In Long Island's case, they considered incorporating a lighthouse into the logo, however, the Long Beach Island Curling Club uses a lighthouse in its logo, so they didn't want to get confused with them. Another consideration of this perjoct was the logo's uniqueness and likeability. Every curling club has a pin made of its logo. It is customary in the world of curling for members to trade pins with curlers from other clubs. Each member of the club has to purchase these pins from their club for trading. If your club has a really cool pin, then everyone wants one, therefore resulting in high pin sales. If your pin is not that cool, then most people won't go out of their way to trade with you. So, I was also shooting for the cool pin factor as well.I will continue to work up some more comps, and I will be sure to forward the results to John so everyone can see the final outcome.Thanks again for the comments.Joe Panella
