Prize value: US$200.00
Details:
You are creating a logo that will be used on t-shirts, coffee mugs, and other items.
The theme and tag line will be “Bitches are Mean.†The depiction of “bitches†in the logo should clearly be gender neutral, or more specifically, should depict both male and female “bitches.†In this context, “bitches†refers to unpleasant, irrational, self-centered, difficult, hard to get along with, simply MEAN persons of any gender. We all know such persons and have encountered them from time to time.
I think what I have in mind is a logo with two expressive obviously “bitchy†faces, one clearly male and the other clearly female, with the tag line “Bitches are Mean†somewhere in the logo. But the faces (or other graphic depictions of the male and female) would be the most prominent feature of the logo, with the tag line being somewhat less prominent. But I am open to and would welcome other ideas.
This is in no way meant to be sexist or derogatory to women. To the contrary, it is my wife, who works in a church, and my grown and very independent daughter, and many of their female friends, who use this phrase in appropriate situations and think it is hilarious. I am looking for something funny and light-hearted, and not something that is overly crude or politically incorrect. Something you could be seen wearing at the mall and not be too embarrassed or offensive to others (but you do not need to worry about offending overly sensitive people, because, those bitches ARE mean).

Comments:
I like the entries so far. They are both great and are certainly on the right track. Two things come to mind. First, I think I would prefer the tag line to be smaller or in some way less conspicuous so that the faces are more prominent and are the first thing you see when you look at the logo. Second, I wonder what the faces would look like facing forward? I am not suggesting that they must face forward, I am just wondering if that would be better. I don’t want someone to misinterpret the graphic and think, for example, that the woman is yelling at the man. Make sense? Thanks to all.
This could be fun.
I thought about whether to approve this competition or not. In Nick’s brief he seems to be genuine about not wanting to be offensive to women. So it’s up to you designers out there to keep your designs out of the gutter. We’ll be watching and anything offensive will be deleted by Logosauce admins without notice.
If you see something offensive please report the logo or contact us to review.
