It all started with an idea...

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

Needs

We need a logo idea for our guesthouse
We want to expand our guesthouse with adventure tours
The guesthouse is located on the beach
Name: The Travellers

Overall experience
THE TRAVELLERS is a label for the adventurous tourist. It will host an atmosphere of Adventure, Comfort and Relaxation.
Sustainable – Nature and eco
Beachcabins – great cabins in the beach
No-Stress; which is the island motto. It will be what our guests experience by our spacious design and calm staff.

The Cape Verde experience: we will use local culture, nature and history to decorate the cabins. Pictures and stories of the island will be used to create this experience.

The Beach/Island Experience: Furniture made of reclaimed items brought by the sea, sailing material (showing the heritage of the Cape Verdean naval tradition) and beach comfort (such as hammocks, lounge area and providing beach towels)

The Adventurer, The Great Discoverer, The Traveller – Experience: items such as old leather suitcases, photo cameras, maps, globes, compasses and pictures. It will have an 18th century Africa explorer feel, with a 19th century Jules Verne look while having 21st century comfort.

Lean and Perfect: Every item will be designed to add to the experience without wasting resources.
Comfort: While the Cabins have a basic adventure look, the comfort level is high. For example, a bed is of basic wood design; the matrass is thick and soft, lined with beautiful clean crisp white bedding.

Company description

The Why:
We believe tourism should leave a positive footprint. It shouldn’t spoil the landscape, cause pollution or exploit the local economy.

The How:
We believe tourism can empower local entrepreneurship and stimulate new job creation. It can even help remove existing negative footprints and leave it cleaner and better than before. We belief you can create this positive footprint while exploring a culture in an authentic way, having an adventure and relaxing & reviving holiday.

The What:
On a remote location on Cabo Verde, build 12 self-sustaining cabins and offer ‘no stress’ full-service.
Empower local entrepreneurs and stimulate the (sustainable) tourist industry.

The Travellers Beachcabins:
We want to create a Safe Haven for travellers, who want to have a beach experience,
...to relax,
...to reload
...to have an adventure and return with stories to tell.

Colors, favourites and other requirements

We love the global explorer look & feel from the 18th century combined with 19th century Jules Verne (copper), and a 21st century comfort / relaxation / spa

Good evening, in the logo the globe is used both to suggest 'travel' and as a radiant sun. The overall aim is to focus on the wonderful, exotic destination. I look forward to receive your comment. With kind regards, mot

I like it very much, love the design & palm tree. Also great balance in the logo
can you make some more options?
I would like to see a different globe/sun, Maybe something like a silhouette from earth (with africa in centre)
And can you improve the banner with the travellers name, Make it a bit more "loose", elegant and relaxed - It's a bit strong and hard now.
Looking forward to your design.

Thanks for your response, of course it's possible to make all required adjustments - although maybe not entirely before the closing of the contest. But - in case you would choose my design - it could be done afterwards as well. That's not uncommon - and the fee doesn't get paid until you're satisfied with the result :-)
But I'll see what I can do in the remaining time.
