It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs

A drawing, image, piece of art of a pepper so iconic you can recognize it even when its about a centimeter small and embossed into a button. It's all about the shape of the pepper. It has to be fun, catchy with enough bravure and style to become a true visual icon (think about the Lacoste crocodile). The outline/shape has to be so recognizable that it doesn't matter how or by who it's been coloured, printed, painted, stitched, or produced using any other technique.

For this contest we would like to see a 4 colour design (One design using 4 colors only) and a black and white version.

PLEASE REFER to the attached PDF for a detailed visual description plus reference to styles and our other preferences.

Mixed feelings about this shape...

Yeah! I feel what you are saying. The top part is great and the bottom part is the best one I've seen so far. The two don't connect well is what I think you are saying... If you move around the two parts to make the whole thing shorter in length and fatter in width it will work out perfect... Ahh the bottom is so right :D

Thanks for liking my top and bottom :P Will work on the in between part :D

The stern is awesome! Feel stupid for saying it's almost too detailed. Looking at the top part of the pepper I really feel the flow this pepper is showing, it don't last to the bottom though. Wonde rhow it looks like if you create another dent on the left side and almost mirror the foot to the right side, and than rotate the entire pepper to make it stand straight again.. I like the use of red in the green one, the purple in the orange makes it look like it's been photographed underneath a blacklight. Very good submission!

Hi Tjarco, thanks for your enthousiastic respons. Yes, I already tried the second dent you mention & described in the pdf, but immediately discarded it because 1. the shape lost its boldness and 2. it looked like the pepper caved in under its own weight. I already put in a lot of time in this but I will see what I can do. Cheers, Anneke

"caved in under it's own weight" I feel what you're saying. Dried peppers can take a lot of weird shapes though. Really curious to what you will show next.
