Resumen de Diseño de Logo
We need a new logo for a luxury retail business based in Nairobi, Kenya, called APRELLE. Previously, we have been using the name APRELLEDUANY. The interest in rebranding stems from the concept that “APRELLE” will be more attractive and differentiated from most self-named brands (i.e., Michael Kors, Vera Wang, and Jessica Simpson). The hope is that is will project a status of greatness and superiority due to a single name (similar to Prince, Beyoncé, and Sting). In the effort of rebranding, we want to identify if simplifying the name to APRELLE will better convey a message of exclusivity and appeal.
It is essential that the logo conveys affluence, sophistication, and the mystery associated with African heritage. We DO NOT want typical representations of Africa in the design of the logo, this includes reference to safaris, animals, or crafty fonts. The African inspiring link with our luxury brand and its heritage should reflect and incorporate an element of African fractals. Fractals are characterized by the repetition of similar patterns at ever-diminishing scales. Please see the following link on more information about African Fractals:

Our brand essence will compete with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Hermes. Researching those brands' essence will be helpful to create the desired brand logo.
Find attached our current logo, as well as the logos of brands that appeal to our aesthetic. Our brand colors are black, white, and gold. The final logo should communicate luxury, heritage, absolute quality, and mystery.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: There have been so many wonderful design concepts, and I have not been able to provide feedback as I wanted due to the business of the Easter holiday. I am also extending the deadline to allow designers who have recently accepted the project a chance to participate. This project will be extended until Friday, April 25.
Thank you for your submissions
Best.
