Slogan or Tagline

Find the Men of AE!

Describe your company and organization and target audience

In September 1914, one of Australia's first submarines, HMAS AE1, disappeared with all hands in waters near Rabaul (now part of Papua New Guinea). Despite a search at the time and several times later, no trace of the submarine or its crew of 35 has been found.
The project needs Government support to mount a search and a logo that captures the need of the descendants to understand the fate of their forebears and a logo that encapsulates these messages.

The design should have the following

Elements of mystery, sadness and hope. It could be emotive (without being too maudlin)

The logo should use the tag line in its structure as opposed to the Company name (or perhaps both) but the tag line should have prominence since the intent is to focus on solving the mystery of the missing men rather than just the wreck of the submarine.
The website is www.findae1.org.au
The current logo has been uploaded. It has its emphasis on the submarine not the people who were lost so we need a change.
The blue wavy emblems could be relevant since the company is supported by the Submarine Institute of Australia and the waves are central to its logo.

This logo will be used for

  • Online (Website, facebook etc.)
  • Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)
  • Merchandise (mugs, t-shirts etc.)

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

It could use Light Blue, Royal Blue and Black in its colours
