Why a Gingerbread man as part of our logo?

When we sat down and started to work out what Jims Bitesize Games was all about, one thing we decided was that our logo had to be distinctive, something that would stand out from the crowd and be easily recognisable.

The design brief we had was as follows:

  • It had to be clear and easy to read from a distance
  • It has to appeal to both male and female game players alike.
  • The logo must be good to look at.
  • That it portrays a sense of fun.
  • It must be unique.

Initially we had the idea of putting a cookie on the end with a cut out that made it look like a mouth eating the Jims Bitesize Games text, very much like the Pacman character {artsexylightbox path="http://www.jimsbitesizegames.com//images/template/jims-logo-old.jpg"}click here{/artsexylightbox}. It became clear that this would restrict how we could use the logo, especially on things like tee-shirts and cups because of the long length of the logo.

One of the options to consider was using a gingerbread man, this was our favourite but it still needed some work to reach the goals we had for the logo. After a few tweaks and adjustments what you see now above is the final version of our logo. We hope you like it too.
