Big Bear Adventures

Describe your company and organization and target audience

We are a family run business in Northern Michigan. We are an OUTFITTER offering RIVER TRIPS (exciting Raft, Tube, and Kayak trips down the fastest flowing river in the Lower Peninsula- the Sturgeon River) and GUIDED ATV TOURS (2-seater and 4-seater CAN-AM Side x Sides). In the winter, we offer GUIDED WINTER RAFTING TRIPS, as well as XC Ski and Snowshoe rentals. We also have a FAMILY FUN CENTER with 18-Hole Adventure Golf, Ropes Challenge Course, and Bumper Boats. Located in our main log cabin building, we have a General Store, Gift Shop and a full SUBWAY restaurant. For over 50 years, this location has had a stuffed Alaskan Brown Bear in a glass case, which we named our business "Big Bear Adventures" because of this attraction. We cater to families, groups, and all ages and skill levels looking for fun and adventure in beautiful Northern Michigan!

The design should have the following

Our colors we use here at Big Bear have been blue and yellow (bright, fun colors). Our original logo shows off more of our river trips (hence the crossed paddles and splashes), whereas now, we would like it to be more universal since we offer so many activities here AND year-round. We are looking for a bear paw print with "Big Bear Adventures" incorporated in it. We like the "Jurassic" or "List" style fonts as it shouts "adventure" or (something like that). We attempted to make one like we are talking about, but we are not a graphic artist! We are currently completely redoing our website and all new signage; therefore, this logo is key to the entire process! We like the graduated colors (yellow to red like Indiana Jones for example).

This logo will be used for

• Online (Website, facebook etc.)
• Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)
• Merchandise (mugs, t-shirts etc.)
• Signs (including shops, billboards etc.)
• Television/screen

This design should not have this in the entries

Not a grizzly bear or Alaskan Brown bear paw print. We would prefer a black bear paw print or something more simple since that is what we have in Northern MIchigan. We don't want anything too scary or too cartoonish.

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

Our colors we use here at Big Bear have been blue and yellow (bright, fun colors). It doesn't mean we have to have those exact colors in our logo though. Our original logo shows off more of our river trips (hence the crossed paddles and splashes), whereas now, we would like it to be more universal since we offer so many activities here AND year-round. We offer adventures to any and all ages! We are looking for a bear paw print with "Big Bear Adventures" incorporated in it. We like the "Jurassic" or "List" style fonts as it shouts "adventure". We like the graduated colors (yellow to red like Indiana Jones for example).
