Contest 50$ - Design contest for Logo

Hello everyone,

Description
There is no client, I am the client right now and I need a logo for one of my new projects.
My new project is a winter village which includes an ice rink, winterfair, bars & food and many other winter activities.

Guidelines
Name: Santa Martinas
The name is latin for "Christmas in Merchtem" and "Merchtem" is the name of the town where the project will take place. I'm not looking for a logo that focusses on one part of the activities but rather on the idea of it being a "village" in wintertime but keep it modern and trendy.

Prefered colours are light blue, black, white, light grey.

Requirements

Hello @Satyainadhgoteti

Thank you for your entry.
Please note that the name in the briefing states "Santa Martinas" and not "Winter Village".
Other than that I'm looking for something more refined, thanks.

 

my entry, feedback is appreciated.

 

Hello @logos4all

I really appreciate the nice work you've made, you've obviously got some very good skills.
With that being said, I will have to dissapoint you, this is not speaking to me.
This feels to me too much "Ski Resort" or a logo for some village in Switzerland or Austria.

My project is like Disneyland but in wintertime and that's what I want my logo to represent.
Hope that helps, thanks!

 

Thanks for the feedback appreciate it, another concept.

 

My try. I will make second concept if this one doesn't reach your expectation.

 

Concept #1


Concept #2

 

Hello everyone,

Thank you for some very nice designs.

@logos4all , You're getting there. I like the special font with the swirls.
I like how you're catering to my "Winter Disneyland". It does feel a bit "busy" to me.
It needs some refining and a bit "less is more".

@weirdXtreme Thank you for making an effort, it sure is a nice a logo and your efforts are appreciated.
However, this is not speaking to me. I've no need for "Established 1994"and the logo is not saying "This village is fun" to me.

@Mambley , thank you for taking the time to make 2 previews, your efforts are appreciated.
However, neither are sparking my interest. Doesn't feel like any of them represent what I'm trying to do.

@getdomain4u , you've been reading my briefing and that is very much appreciated.
You've obviously put time and effort into this and it looks very good.
However, this feels "old" to me, like those pictures your grandmother would have in her kitchen.
I need it a bit more trendy and modern, playing with the font is a plus.

Thanks again. I hope my feedback helps.

 

Thanks for the feedback appreciate it, 2 revisions more simplified.

 

Hello everyone,

@logos4all , it's now becoming clear to me that the castle is the problem.
I think the castle looks "too busy", is there any way you could try to make some variations on that?

@getdomain4u , Thank you for a new entry! It does look good.
My main problem with it is that it looks like 4 different pieces put together.
It does not look like something I can print on a t-shirt.

Important
Considering I still haven't found what I'm looking for, I'm upping the contest reward to 60$.

 

Thanks for the feedback, revision.

 

here second concept sir. hope you like it...

 

another version, very simplified.
