Yearly Design: 1 month

Step 1: Prelimary Designs

Objective:

• Design a primary logo along with a distinct, year-specific logo for each edition.
• Both must be monochrome to be featured on a t-shirt

• Get notes from client on changes and alternative ideas

Step 2: Finalize Logos

Objectives:

• Make client changes!
• "Add more imagery and playfulness to 2024 logo" (add a banner look + icons)
• "Tinman in the 2025 should be more dynamic" (tinman running/celebrating)
• "Love the main logo" (Yay no changes required!)
