Creative brief

The buyer added updates to the brief. Read them.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

I’m building a website that will list all the 100% legitimate work at home jobs from across the web in one place. This work from home job aggregator is like Jobster.com, SimplyHired.com or Indeed.com, except it will only list the jobs one can do from home. These jobs will be brought in from freelance sites like eLance.com and oDesk.com, but will also include telecommute jobs from sites like Monster.com and Hotjobs.com.

You can see our current site at http://www.workathomejobs.org. This site will be redesigned based on your logo.

The design you see at http://www.workathomejobs.org is just a place holder and SHOULD NOT influence your design at all. Not even one bit! Instead, a better influencer will be http://www.jobster.com.

The design of Jobster.com is more along the lines of what the site will eventually look like. After the upcoming redesign, our site will be clean, but not cold and stark like most corporate sites. It will be warm and inviting and thus use warm and inviting colors. The first step of the redesign is designing a great logo. Thus, YOUR LOGO will influence the overall design of the site. You establish the brand :-)

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a great looking logo that will establish the overall design of the site. Your logo will be used to create a style guide for the rest of the site. We will redesign the site based on your logo. We’re open to your suggestions and creative ideas. Please surprise and delight us :-)

The logo should not be cold and stark like usual corporate logo, instead it should use warm colors and convey the great feeling of working from home, being able to see your kids all the time and not having to be stuck driving in traffic for an hour a day to go to a job you don’t even like. The logo should appeal to both men and women and thus should not lean too far in any one direction.

The logo will be placed on a white background (just like the Jobster.com logo), so please keep that in mind when designing.

Looking forward to seeing your designs!

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

60% of our audience is moms with kids that are looking to make some money while the kids sleep or are outside playing. They want to stay home with their kids, but still make some money and feel like they are helping with the family finances.

40% of our audience is dads that are currently out of work that are not finding any jobs available on the open market and thus are resorting to trying to work from home. If things work out, maybe they’ll continue working from home.

Our audience ranges from 25 to 55 years old with the majority falling between 30 and 40 years old.

Around 10% of our audience is hoping to strike it rich with an easy home business like running a website.

Brief updates

11-Aug-09 5:02 a.m. GMT
After reviewing the first 15 logos submitted and not seeing exactly what I was looking for, I figured I should add an update to give more guidance on what I'm trying to find. Please see the attached JPG that contains a bunch of logos I like.
What I like about these logos is that they contain 2 or more colors and are vibrant and use warm colors. One color by itself will not do. An all blue logo gives too cold a feeling, but blue with orange, red, green or red works well. Green and orange work well together too. But don’t let me sway you too far in one direction. Just take a look at all the logos I’ve supplied and see if you come up with any new ideas.
An icon or graphic in the logo is a must, but I encourage you to think beyond the typical house image when you think of "work from home."
As an idea, maybe an illustration of a man or woman standing triumphant in the classic Superman pose with hands on hips. This would illustrate that we understand our website visitors.
50% of my website visitors are stay at home moms and dads that are bored to tears JUST babysitting all day and need a job they can do from home in order to feel pride in themselves and feel that they are contributing to the family finances.
The other 50% of my visitors need work DEPSERATELY! They got laid off 6 months ago and are in danger of losing their house and their marriage as the savings dries up. They’ll take any job they can find!
We provide the lifeline that these people need in order to keep their homes, families, self-worth and honor. We are here to save them! We must somehow convey that in the logo.
With that said though, a dollar sign would not make a good icon as it conveys getting rich or a bank, instead of working to feed your family or to just feel good about yourself.

Remember, just because it's work at HOME, that doesn't mean we NEED a house in the logo. It could be anything else that symbolizes everything I wrote above.
