Port Central
Gowings has just acquired 3 shopping centres and we want to re-brand them under one banner.
The first shopping centre is located at Port Macquarie which is a major coastal precinct. The shopping centre is the pre-imenent fashion specialty destination for about 200kms. The current logo is very 80's and does not reflect the current offer. As the new owners, we would like a fresh crisp new logo.
16 - 65 year old women account for the majority of purchases
discretionary expenditure

What is Port Central shopping centre?
1. specialty

Objective

Logo Design
Please see attached file for some preliminary ideas that we have had.
We like the 4 boxes which can represent each season of fashion. The boxes can be other shapes. Each box allows us to insert of different picture to reflect the offering. This shopping centre offering is fashion. Our other 2 centres are more convenience type. The pictures may be any style including photos, 3D, animated or drawings. They may be any colour.
