Contest Brief

Hello,

I want to improve an existing graphic mark that conveys the idea that all humans are "in the same boat" together in this world. You can view and download an Illustrator file of it here: http://mf.ly/h28 (the file is also attached to this contest).

FYI: "In the same boat" means, essentially, that all humans, and even more broadly, all beings, including animals and plants, are joined together by the same existential challenges, the same existential calamities: Having to die; wanting to be loved; struggling to survive, etc...

I want to keep the three basic components of the existing mark, i.e., the waves, the boat and the globe inside the boat. I don't want to add anything. No text needs to be added either

What I'm interested in are modifications of these elements, for instance to their style or to their relative size, placement or the width of lines, to make the mark even more visually appealing. I want it to be beautiful. The current version, while I love it conceptually, to me looks a bit too geometric and icon-like and not quite elegant and "beautiful" enough. But I also want it to remain simple and stylized. Imagine it being used on clothing items, for instance like the graphic mark for the Ralph Lauren polo brand which you can see here: http://mf.ly/cv3 .

The mark has to work single-color (black on white or transparent background).

In terms of the specs, I will need an Adobe Illustrator vector file.

I'm looking forward to what you will come up with. Thank you.

Marc
