Describe your company and organization and target audience

**Brand Name:** ANIMELEE<div><br></div><div>**Description:**</div><div><br></div><div>ANIMELEE is an anime sweepstakes and clothing brand. The name is a combination of two words — ANIME and MELEE — which share the letters ME in the middle. We want a logo that feels epic, anime-inspired, and clean enough to work as a website logo AND as a large graphic on a t-shirt.</div>

The design should have the following

<div>**Our Initial Concept (not absolute — creative freedom encouraged):**</div><div><br></div><div>The wordmark ANIMELEE split into its two hidden words:</div><div>- ANIME side in hot pink (~#FF1F9A)</div><div>- MELEE side in electric blue (~#00BFFF)</div><div>- The shared ME letters in the center split diagonally by a sword slash</div><div>- Slash is white with possiblbly a purple glow (~#8040CF)</div><div>- Two weapons framing the wordmark horizontally — one above, one below — pointing opposite directions. We've been thinking katanas but are open to other melee weapons or combinations that fit the anime world (naginata, nodachi, etc.)</div><div>- Font should be bold, wide, angular and futuristic — Ethnocentric style</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>**What matters most:**</div><div>- The ANIME + MELEE dual identity concept</div><div>- Epic anime energy</div><div>- Clean and versatile — works small as a logo and large on apparel</div><div>- Colors, weapons, font and layout are all open to interpretation</div><div><br></div><div>**Surprise us. We want to see your creative take on this concept. The colors and the idea and the picture uploaded are just my first thought ideas. If you think you have a better idea that could knock it out of the park, run with it**</div><div><br></div><div>Please deliver the following versions:</div><div>Full color on transparent background (PNG)</div><div>All white version on transparent background</div><div>All black version on transparent background</div><div>Vector source files (AI or EPS)</div><div>The logo must work across all shirt colors without needing a background container.</div>

This logo will be used for

[object Object], [object Object], [object Object], [object Object], [object Object]

This design should not have this in the entries

<p>Design should NOT include:</p><p><div>Realistic or photographic style artwork — keep it flat, graphic, and vector-based</div><div>Anime characters or figures — wordmark/typography focused only</div><div>Generic "anime font" that looks like a cheap bootleg (overly brush-stroked Japanese style lettering)</div><div>Gradients that look muddy or washed out — colors should be bold and vivid</div><div>Cluttered or busy compositions — clean and purposeful only</div><div>Drop shadows that look dated or corporate</div><div>Any misspelling of ANIMELEE — must be exactly 8 letters A-N-I-M-E-L-E-E</div><div>Circular badge or crest style logos</div><div>The word "anime" and "melee" written as separate words — it must read as one word ANIMELEE</div><div>Stock weapon clipart that looks generic or cheap</div><div>White background dependent designs — should work on both light and dark backgrounds</div><div>Do not design the logo to depend on a white or colored background to be readable</div></p>

These values are what the logo should communicate
