Artisic guidelines
- The company spells the "Hussel" with a line under the "U"
- we are looking for a modern, unique, urban, and easy to read font or a font that is not recoginizable by another major brand
-we have played around with the idea of having the "L" as a gun
- i mean, we are an urban crime line
-we love modern designs that have wreaths, shields, wings, crowns, guns
- please do not limit yourself to these things
- none of these are necessary for the design (please be creative)
-One of our main symbols is a one color vector "triple beam scale". We need a new one. we don't want to include the old one because we don't want you to be influenced. Just a really simple one color triple beam, that can either be the logo on a shoe or a symbol on a shirt like Lacoste or Polo, or can be worn really big screen printed across the front. it can be sideways or coming from an angle

***Again, this an urban, hip-hop brand. but please be as creative as you want.
