Contest Brief

We define "Double Meaning logos" as logos with a hidden message (hidden pattern) behind the obvious. Almost like those visual illusions where you can perceive two or more objects from a signal diagram depending on how one interpret it.

Examples are:
1.) Rubin Vase: A perfect example of an illusion where two faces can be seen instead of a single vase.
2.) Young Lady and Old Lady illusion: A more sophisticated illusion example
3.) Fedex's log and it's hidden arrow: It is one of the most studied corporate identity in business class.
4.) More "Double Meaning/Rubin Vase" style examples in the attachments. Each example is rated base on its creativeness.

About the company:
1. Exact name: Cosmic Guest House
2. Logo text Chinese: 宇宙賓館
3. Logo text English: Cosmic Guest House
4. Logo is with or without Chinese, it doesn’t really matter.
5. Our Market Niche: Most Convenient Location, Friendly Staff, Fully Licensed. See comments on TripAdvisor https://en.tripadvisor.com.hk/Hotel_Review-g294217-d647068-Reviews-Cosmic_Guest_House_Hong_Kong-Hong_Kong.html
6. Company description: See http://www.agoda.com/cosmic-guest-house/hotel/hong-kong-hk.html
7. Targeted Market: Budget travelers
8. Color preferences: no particular preferences
9. Best Double Meaning Logos we’ve got so far: please see attachment.

Please note: The hidden message/pattern can be anything described above. Doesn't always have to be letters in our company name. Could be our market niche, our target market, etc.

Please note 2: If you decided to incorporate "cosmic/space" into one of the "meanings", careful not to make the overall design feeling like a space theme park logo. Hint: Please make the cosmic/space theme subtle.

Rating guideline:
Rejected: no a logo, wrong company name, etc.
1 star: The design doesn’t meet the minimum requirement, which is “Double Meaning/Rubin Vase Style".
2 stars: The minimum requirement is met but the art is far from expectation.
3 stars: The minimum requirement is met and it has potential.
4 starts: The minimum requirement is met and it’s an excellent work.
5 starts: The minimum requirement is met and it’s perfect.

    We found this on the net. http://data.freelancer.com/contest/921549/planet%2Bgalaxy%2Bblackhole%20logo.png We quite like how it resembles a planet, a galaxy, and a blackhole. We wonder if you guys could incorporate something like that into your exiting design(s). Or, maybe replacing the center with a house?? Not sure.

    Hi all, had anyone considered creating a logo base on the whirling of a galaxy? like that in this image: http://www.gameartguppy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Galaxy_finished.jpg
    And then maybe some how merging the characters c, g, and h or house in to that whirl?

      Thank you! We love that it contains PICTORIAL representation of the meanings AND manipulations of the characters "C" and "G". But some how it is still missing something. hm....
