COLORS: purple, red, and yellow (like Q104 Cleveland: http://q104.cbslocal.com/) 
 
It’s very important that any logo has a color combination that is very easy to read from a distance. We are spending a pile of money on a custom exterior sign, and need to ensure it can be read from the highway across the parking lot from the storefront. 
 
LOGOS WE LIKE: 
http://www.discoverykidslv.org/ (I like the stars similar to Tinkerbell; also how the size of the lettering is varied) 
 
http://www.yelp.com/biz/peek-a-boo-playtown-franklin (I like the style and perspective of the buildings; although these are too tall … they should be more reminiscent of our actual structures; think very simplistic versions) 
 
http://madisonchildrensmuseum.org/ (another “town” design … but I don’t like the big sunburst or the weird red balls)

FONT: 
-We like this font: http://www.fontpark.net/en/font/lhf-happy-fun-ball-reg/# 
-If you have something similar that you think works better or should at least be considered. Any font used should be of a similar boldness to this. I want the lettering thick and very commercial-looking. 
-Please stick to basic solid lettering, avoiding use of outline or shadow. 
 
NOTE: 
We will be able to do only the letters for our exterior sign, so any graphic that goes with the logo would probably need to be separate; i.e. two different versions, if that makes sense. (Our sign will be the type where the letters are individual illuminated blocks, attached to a &quot;raceway&quot; behind. In the case of our logo, it needs to be stacked in two rows. ... or easily separable.
