Just for fun and all submitted artwork to be free for use by all peoples of the world ;)
I'm sure many towns & cities have similar events called "Secret Gardens" whereby on one or two days a year private gardens are opened to the general public to view & enjoy.
This challenge is to create an icon or logo to represent these "Secret Garden" events.
Get your creative juices flowing and let's see what TG members can create in Xara. :)
Egg - This challenge was moderated but is now approved and ready for responses and submissions.
Off for my morning coffee.
Great Gary.
Two from me.
Here is mine, quick and dirty.

I like that a lot Ernie, good at any size.
Thanks Egg. Will see if I've time to create an other one.Quote:

For info the leaves are symbols (search for leaf) and the font is 'Clicker Script' (a Google font)
@Rik. Yes, great. Like Ernie's it works at small sizes to.
@Jono. Like that a lot. Perhaps the text could be bark coloured?
Another.
Hi Egg, here's mine
Ciao

Nice ideas. Especially Rik, Janopen and Ernie F.
Here's an other one, like my first quick and dirty.
Attachment 117098
Another idea, or two!
Great entries Roly & Ernie. But have to admit my personal favorite is Riks entry, I particularly like the single coloured one.
I decided to try a different take on it. Rather than locks and keys I tried to manipulate the word secret to give the impression of an open gate :)
Holy cow, after seeing these submissions, I am embarrassed to submit mine.
Oh well here it is anyway.

EDIT: I must think differently than you guys, I guess I think like an illustrator, not like a graphic artist.
More great entries Frances & Larry.
I'm back to keys etc here.
My quick effort.

Some new logos from me. On the next I'm working, the scribbles are done the vectorwork isn't yet.

And one from me.
Bob.
A revision...I've posted this poinsettia before, but I think it works better than a pile of leaves!
Bob.
Had an idea, so, I thought I would try it out to see what it turns out like?!
A couple of suggestions:
Ernie, your Escher triangle could be a hedge?
Bob, What if you lose the stuff inside, make your circle thicker on the inside? It could even be made into a G?
Here's an other one.
Ciao
Roly
One more

So, my Logos are ready to share.

I did this in 2004 but it seems appropriate to the thread.
That's a-maze-ing Gary ;)
@ Roly, Ernie, Rik & Bob:
Great entries. I fact the level of artwork by all contributors has been superb and I thank you all for your contributions. It's been a great challenge and very well supported.
This was fun, your welcome Egg.
Ciao

Cheers to you Egg.
It was good to have a challenge with a bit of a brief to give it purpose and direction. Although obviously I wish I had spent more time developing my idea seeing as there's now a vote on it! ;) It was interesting seeing the different approaches and thinking as they developed from entry to entry.
ps thank you for that vote, whoever you were :D
Hi Jonopen, if you click on the number of votes you received you will see the name of the voter on the left side of the page under the logo/icon number.
Ciao

Attractive logo there Mark.
Thank you, Egg! :) Once, a long time ago, I had a client who was hard to please and he wanted a logo but he didn't know what he wanted exactly. So, over a period of about 4 days I made for him over 400 logos for him to choose from. That was the stupidest thing I had ever done because he still was not pleased. So, I just don't work with hard to please people. I avoid them like the plague...Now, all I make is 3 or 4 logos for a client. If they're not happy, they don't have to buy. I really don't care. But that making of over 400 logos in a short amount of time really helped me in "seeing" good logo designs for my clients ever since.Quote:
