The name of the company is Sinister Mechx Jump Scare Props. I sculpt, build, and program animatronic props for Halloween. You can see the props on YouTube https://youtu.be/N-zQ4hqFJ5o Sinister Mechx, a home-haunt located just outside of New Orleans, custom-fabricates Halloween props for home-haunters and professional haunted houses within the Dark Attraction Industry. Sinister Mechx is guided by one simple principle: “Make kids drop their candy!” The props are literally a living work of art and would scare even the most hardened horror fan. All of Sinister Mechx’s jump scare props are reinforced to withstand the rigors of repeat performances during the Halloween season. As home-haunters who have purchased expensive decorations from big-box and seasonal boutique stores, we understand the frustration that comes from discarding a very expensive decoration that didn’t last even one season. Or the disappointment when an overpriced Halloween decoration must be discarded after malfunctions when they are placed back in service after months of storage. Sinister Mechx jump scare props can be easily repaired in the event of an unexpected problem.

    Instructions
    This is logo update project. I would like to keep the following components of the original design, but not simply a copy and paste of the original: -colors (predominantly bright green, orange, and lots of black) -saw blade -gear -skulls Things I would like completely reworked: -the Font/Typeface used for Sinister Mechx Jump Scare Props -replace the pumpkin head voodoo doll in the middle with a scarier version. I had another designer sketch an updated version of the logo. I love the body and the arms on the line drawing! However, although the features on the face of the line sketch of the logo are very good, the head does not look like a pumpkin. I would like a rotting pumpkin look, but it should be better defined and have a long stem, vines, neck. I carved a pumpkin last year and I really liked the way it came out. I would like to replace the head on that design with a similar jack o lantern face. I can provide the original files I have to the winning designer if necessary. I have also learned from ordering items with my logo imprinted on them from vendors they require specific versions of the logo. So I am going to need the winning designer to provide a grayscale version in EPS, AI, and PDF, and a monochrome version in black in EPS, AI, and PDF formats.

    This is an example of the stem that I envisioned having on the top of the pumpkin. It should also be a greenish brown color like in the photo and hang down almost like a tentacle.
