Logo design for Magic Festival

Edinburgh International Magic Festival

I’m organising Edinburgh International Magic Festival which will start in July 2010 and hopefully will become an annual international event. I will very much appreciate your help with the festival logo.

There is a festival statement below:

Edinburgh International Magic Festival aims to engage all of society in the amazing world of magic, providing adults and children with regular access to a diverse range of high quality magic shows coming from all over the UK and abroad, that will entertain, enrich, challenge and inspire them.

Just a quick note: I’m very generous about feedback which is quite obvious from my previous contests. Also your design could lead to web design and other design work in the coming months.

• Children and their families
• Magicians and Magic hobbyists
• The Magic loving public
• Summer Tourists to Edinburgh

Just to summarize, the logo should be kids friendly but without a suggestion that the festival is just for children.

The logo should be quite modern, stylish and attractive for youth and adults.

1. Other festivals in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a renowned festival city. Please check out logos of the main festivals here http://www.edinburghfestivals.co.uk/festivals
That would be great to have something along those lines but even more original.

2. Format
The logo should include an image/graphics and the name of the festival. “Edinburgh International” could be smaller than “Magic Festival”. Obviously as there are quite a lot of festivals out there it’s important to put an accent on MAGIC. A distinctive font is very desirable.

3. Image
Please have a look at some ideas attached. That would be great if you develop one or several of them.

At the end the logo should look stylish and unique.

4. Colours
Preferably distinctive from other festival logos.

Vector format required.
