Slogan or Tagline

EveryDayCarry

Describe your company and organization and target audience

This is for both an online store and a brick and mortar location. There is a large following on Instagram and Pintrest for EDC stuff. It's mainly the items that a man might carry with him everyday. Wallets, Pocket knives, Pen, Flashlights, Permit carry handgun holsters, phone cases, multi-tools, protection devices, notebooks or pads. Handkerchiefs, whistles. Anything small enough to be carried in a pocket or small "man bag" or bug out bag. Target audience would be men ages 18 - 80 and some woman to. You don't have to own only one wallet your entire life. Take a look at EDC on Pinterest or Instagram to get an idea of the items people carry.

The design should have the following

I'd like the logo to have the words “ theEDCcompany”; but I’d also like a stand-alone "element" that is designed to accompany the words theEDCcompany, but is also recognized on its own to represent the company. The full logo would have the element, the words and the tagline combined. Like a graphic or detailed drawn pants pocket or bag to represent the carry part of the company. Another idea I’ve seen that I liked was a rugged looking hobo bag. A bag on the end of a stick. Colors should be earth tones, Oranges, browns, rust, blacks and grays, silver, wood tones, leather. But maybe something completely abstract that just has a cool look with the lettering. But still relates to Every Day Carry Gear. Something geared towards the younger audience. Has to look awesome if it’s made as a sticker.
