snapinsight.com needs a logo, which it will then use to define the overall identity of its website.

snapinsight is a post-purchase customer relationship management software solution, allowing businesses to be able to visualize customer purchase behavior over time. Think of google analytics but for customer purchase data, rather than web-analytics.

I've seen a lot of blue/grey color combinations. its not a bad choice, but its not the only option. I'd love to see some options that have other color combinations. A mostly solid color with a splash of a fun color might be interesting.

Also, no red/white/blue.

I like the font choice, use of shading, and highlighting on this logo:

Feels new, innovative, and unique.

also here is a really creative use of how they combined a "Y" with an arrow to indicate growth -- which was the goal of yearonelabs.

If you are going to use a character from our name, it will not be enough to just have the character itself, it will have to be integrated in a unique symbol that has meaning -- of "quick, fast" or "insight"
Update 28-Sep-10 GMT
would love to see some options with opacity and overlays
http://mashable.com/2010/09/28/web-logo-design-trends/ -- but simple things like in the "rightnow" logo
Update 30-Sep-10 GMT
We do not want our icon to have any of the characters "s" or "i" -- rather we want the icon to be representative of something analytical.

Everyone, there are only two days left, so I'm going to try to be very clear about what we have liked so far and what will lead to a winning entry.

We like the use of analytics and colors like in this design:
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2288562_snapinsightcom-logo-for-new-analytics-company/entry/2931477_logo/

We like the boldness used in this design
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2288562_snapinsightcom-logo-for-new-analytics-company/entry/2943929_snapinsight/

We like the use of a square icon in this design
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2288562_snapinsightcom-logo-for-new-analytics-company/entry/2941754_logo/

I wouldn't spend your time just trying to combine all three of those and assume you're going to be the winner, but we wnat to be clear about the fact that 1) We want it to be clear that this is an analytics or metrics driven company, and we want our name to stand out because we really think our name says a lot about what we do!

We do not want an "s" or "i" or "Si" etc. as an icon. We also are not sure if we want all CAPS for INSIGHT or if we want all lowercase, but we will choose one of those two.

Think: looks professional yet easy, trustworthy, and is clearly about analytics

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

We just wanted to let you know that we've issued a cS award to user "jodsgn" for their great work - congrats, jodsgn!

If you're wondering why the full award wasn't given out, well, unfortunately, the buyer in this project has asked for a refund. And, because we offer buyers a money-back guarantee, sometimes we have to make good on that promise. In these cases, we refund the entire award (and our project fee) and pay the creative a cS award out of our own pockets. We've promised that every single project will be awarded - no matter what - and this is our way of honoring that promise. While we can't always pay the full award in every case, the winning creative is also free to keep the rights to all their work and do with it what they want. We hope you understand...

Thanks so much for participating and see you around the site,

The crowdSPRING crew
