Awesome contest Hive account@surfermarly. And so many MANY great entries already. WOW, I almost passed on this because of them. BUT I decided I still wanted to give my vision on a logo for you that can be used as branding as well.

The main idea is you standing in front of your surfboard (notice the single line down the center) The negative space is made up by you and the color reflects your favorite color (or so I read) and with that also the color of your surfshorts.

More (intial paper sketch concept and progress) in my post HERE

And the logo in use on imagery

and apparel (branding)

Clicking the images will open a larger version.

I hope you like it.
