By RFP: New Design Sought for College TailGames & GameDay Events
Company Overview: GameDay Events LLC is the parent company of Pro TailGames and College TailGames. GameDay Events produces interactive fan activations at Home, when the Game is Away. Pro & College TailGames is the ultimate away-game tailgate and live game festival.

Project Description: GameDay Events LLC is in need of three Logos that reflect the DNA of the overall parent company and our associated brands. We are looking for a unified aesthetic that can easily distinguish the GameDay properties from one another but still resonate the same ethos of Fun, Fandome and Community engagement. Since GameDay Events produces events across most colligate and professional sports we are looking to not be pigeon holed into representing one sport of giving off the feeling like one athletic endeavor is more important than the other, however is it of the utmost importance that the viewer of the logos gets the feeling of action and sports.
Current Logo
In short we are looking for Logos that make it easily distinguishable between the brands yet are of the same feeling and DNA. It should be an eye-catching visual that is versatile and can function in a variety of sizes and formats. The concepts that this visual may evoke includes; Athletics, Team and Alma Mater, Super-fandome, Weekend Warriors, Vitality, Trust, Grass-roots, Fun and Community. The logos will be used by clients on all their messaging, corporate collateral, websites, promotional material and packaging. It will be also be used on other marketing materials and social media
