We are seeking a professional designer to finalize the complete branding design for our 10' x 10' carnival tents. The winning design should feel: Premium Vintage Americana Classic Midway Clean and Professional Family-Friendly Festival Quality Our goal is to become known as: "The Gold Standard in Midway Games" This should feel more like a professional carnival midway than a children's entertainment company. Brand Information Company Name: Blue Ribbon Carnival Co.

We would like concepts that: Side A Brand-focused Large logo (Possibly raised slightly from center, since we will usually have tables/games under tents) Professional appearance Strong photo backdrop potential Side B Interactive / Attention Grabbing Potential ideas: Giant carnival ticket "Your Ticket to Fun!"

Ok, We have received bits and pieces of designs that are interesting, but none are what we are looking for. I have uploaded some ai-generated images that are basically what we are looking for. The only exception is that I would probably add some similar ornamental corner decorations to the Back Wall (Outside). As mentioned in the design brief though, just submitting ai-generated images (which is what 99.99% of of what has been submitted are) won't work for what we need.

#961 Please have a look at my original design, created entirely in Adobe Illustrator and fully vector-based. The background artwork is a high-quality 16K image for crisp, detailed large-format printing. I hope you enjoy the design, and I'm happy to make any changes you'd like.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I will say it again for clarification: We have a logo that we are happy with. I do not need a new AI generated logo. I do not need the logo modified. Please use the version I have attached. There are certain aspects I have liked of several entries, but we have not had one put it all together yet, so I have extended the contest.
