Contest Brief

I am a professional magician in NYC ( www.chambermagic.com ) and I am launching a graphic novel ( www.themillionairesmagician.com ) under a new imprint titled: BRICK HAT PRESS
The logo will appear on the back cover of the book, and on the inside copyright page. Ideally the logo will fit into a 1" x 1" square, but I would like it to be vector art so it can be scaled as needed.
Please refer to the website links above to see the fonts I have used in my existing marketing work. The new logo needs to be consistent to the rest of my work.
I do not want a "top hat" logo or a "derby hat" logo. More of a Homburg hat. See attached image for example.
I envision the words "BRICK" and "HAT" to be overlaid on the main body of the hat, and the word "PRESS" positioned below the hat, in slightly smaller font.
The reason for the title "BRICK HAT PRESS" is that I perform a magic trick in which I pull a brick out of an empty hat. See photo -- I don't necessarily want the brick to be included in the logo, but I am willing to look at examples that have "hat only" or "hat + brick" in the logo. Thank you!

    Hi everyone! I would like to remind you of the original design brief: "Ideally the logo will fit into a 1" x 1" square, but I would like it to be vector art so it can be scaled as needed.
    Please refer to the website links above to see the fonts I have used in my existing marketing work. The new logo needs to be consistent to the rest of my work.
    I do not want a "top hat" logo or a "derby hat" logo. More of a Homburg hat." -- Thank you for your efforts -- I would like to save you the time of submitting generic logos, since that is not what I'm looking for. No initials/anagrams (BHP) please!

    There are also few peoples who take the advantage of a sealed contest by posting copied design. As no one is going to trace them. Md E is also one of them. He did it before in a sealed contest. Here is the link-----(https://www.freelancer.com/contest/Design-a-logo-for-a-dealsite-1279272.html). Please check the clarification board as the entry has been deleted by freelancer. So beware before choosing a winner. Ask for a plain logo on white background and use several image search such as yandex, google etc. and atlast don’t forget to check the profile of the contestants.

    Thanks for posting the brief,
    Dear Contest Holder,
    Please stay away from generic logos (http://www.gtgraphics.org/genericlogos.html), overused and copied logos, to avoid future copyright issues.Please don't make any decisions based on free Photoshop mock-ups. A LOT OF "DESIGNERS" here try to show their logo firstly in a 3D wall lettering so they can hide how it looks on a plain white background.
    Just giving you a heads up
    All the best with the contest
