http://www.crowdspring.com Logo projects on the crowdSPRING site. en-US Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:28:26 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/the_phoenix_transformed LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Phoenix Transformed Inc. is a technology consulting corporation which caters to those who normally would not have access to these services. Our target customers are individuals and entities (small business, charities, etc.) would need affordable technical services ranging from website builds to computer builds. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo based on the yin-yang symbol where the halves of the symbol are created from the phoenix fire bird. This logo will become the new website logo (because we can't draw, we really really can't draw, and all of our artists friends/family can't come up with the logo that I envision)... It will also be used on marketing materials and business cards at some point down the road. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our customers are those looking to become more technically savvy. We provide this service by creating customized computer solutions, websites and other services as required. The logo should show the perfect combination of two completely opposite, but equal halves which represents the founders of the company. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: At this stage there are no font requirements although in the past we did use a fiery font with glowing flames. One bird must be glowing fire the other bird is its exact opposite and composed of ice. Both birds should be 'intense' almost glowing and should possibly have flames/mist/steam as appropriate flowing from them. We really would like to see outstretched wings, flowing tails, and upward gazing faces for the birds. The fire bird should preferably use lots of oranges and reds and the ice bird should use blues, whites and silvers. The logo will most likely be displayed against a black background, but we would prefer a transparent background in the provided files so that we can use it against any color. The 'dot' which is used in the yin-yang symbol in each half to display a component of the 'other' half is optional here. That is you have the option of making the birds 'all fire and all ice' OR 'Fire with a hint of ice and Ice with a hint of fire'. In either case, we prefer the birds to be as close to 'twins' as possible, just made of different elements. Our website (www.phoenixtransformed.com) has an rough rough ROUGH idea of the color scheme in the upper left hand corner. The current logo is by no means final it was the best we could do at the time and is definitely only meant as a placeholder showing the yin-yang shape and possible colors. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The fire and ice components MUST be present and the color schemes listed above MUST be present. The only optional portions are the usage of the circles of opposite element and the usage of the company name in the logo. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:22:45 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_public_relations_consultant LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: I am starting my own public relations consulting business called Signal PR HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I need a logo to use on my business card and eventually my website OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: My customers are consumer facing companies- likely technology related I want something that is professional looking as I will be competing with larger public relations agencies for work. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I like simple, clean, classic designs WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: I don't like cartoonish logos or logos with too many different colors Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:33:21 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_design_for_web_development_firm I'm a lead developer for a small web development company based in Canada. We're looking to re-brand and launch a new web site (see project files). We're mainly focused on the social media space and do lots of work with open source platforms (ie: WordPress, Facebook and Joomla). We consider ourselves an "Umbrella" company and besides web development for clients we also have several online startup ventures. This is also where our name "Brolly" comes from: "Brolly: colloquial terms for an umbrella". The logo will be used on our web site, business cards and perhaps other print materials. We're looking for something clean and simple. The umbrella graphic should be worked into the design somehow although it can be altered in any way that you see fit. Ideally, we would like to be recognized by the umbrella graphic alone. Some logos on crowd spring that we liked: http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo_and_stationery/epe_identity_creation/gallery/eric_patrick_enterprises_logo http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_righteous_return_foundation_tm/gallery/3rd_entry http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/create_a_logo_and_icon_for_boombox_fm_music_service/gallery/boombox_3_hoffmeister Important: The logo font color should be red (#cc1b1b) or something close to this color. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

The logo can use the entire company name or simply Farley-Pomeroy. Taglines are also acceptable. The logo should be similar to other professional service firms such as CPAs or Attorneys. The ideal logo would embody; precision like a fine timepiece, confidence like a profession athlete, elegance like a diamond bracelet, and security like a child’s teddy bear. We would also consider whimsical but not cartoonish. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Color preference would be jewel tones.

We tend toward mid to higher value vehicles. You are welcome to visit our current website for more information, however do not base any part of your design on the current site. The entire website will be up for redesign once the new logo is chosen. We don't like the current logo. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: The logo will be used for our website, print material and advertising material. DamagedCars.com should be the prominent part of the logo. The .com is optional. The words are connected but need to be easily distinguished from each other. Additional elements are welcome as well. We want a corporate look. Something with an automotive theme would be good but is not essential. I would prefer a design that is more "flat", ie, does not occupy 2-3 vertical lines of advertising space. The logo needs to be scalable to work well on a business card. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: We have a very broad customer base, ranging from individuals to large insurers. Obviously all are driving age. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We do not work with junk or scrap and want to avoid any appearance of this element in our design.

I retired from full time teaching (after 33 years) and want to "brand" my courses with my own logo other than the university I was associated with. I want a logo to be used in the course banner.

The logo is for branding online law courses under my specialty designed portal. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Primary audience is law schools, law students, lawyers. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: I do not want a staid design that shows lawyers in wigs, gavels, scales of justice, binary code, courthouses, law books, etc. The "law" is staid and conservative by background, and learning law online is 21st century--I'd like the logo to somehow reflect that.

The auction is a revenue stream that I need to drive value and participation and action. All this with pretty "dull" primary logos. Logo would operate primarily as a banner on cMarket webpage (www.intix.cmarket.com) but would need to have legs for use on printed promotional materials as well, other web designs (blasts, newsletters, brochures etc.) OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Primarily to our members and to our industry. Ancillary industry and general public with interest in entertainment type items would be secondary WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Our Corportate logo (INTIX) with the Tree logo that represents the Association/Fund; Must have coporate sponsor/partner logo (Tessitura Software) and 2009 Silent Auction wording.

Hard coming up with designs I like right now... WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: graffiti, grunge style. green. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:31:01 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/virtual_deal_factory_character_logo_for_website LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: "The Virtual Deal Factory, where deals get made!" Hi - we are Virtual Deal Factory. We are starting the first community based platform for real estate investors across the country to find, buy, sell and trade real estate deals. You can see a draft version for our site we are working on now. http://virtualdealfactory.com/home.php HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: "The Virtual Deal Factory, where deals get made!" We need you to create a character or characters we will use to brand our service and create a unique feel. This character(s) should be fun and memorable. But at the same time professional with a web 2.0 feel. To start we will simply need a main logo including the character or characters. This will suffice for the bid. For completion of project we will also need the character in a variety of poses doing different things which we can use at different spots on our website. Think the character - - carrying huge dollar signs - with a wheel barrow full of money - physically picking up a house to trade it and make a deal - holding tools and building a huge dollar sign - sleeping and dreaming about a house with money exploding out the windows - etc etc etc. - you get the idea. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Real estate investors and individuals interested in making money in real estate. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We are inspired by the Coca-cola Happy Factory. And see this being very much along the same look & feel. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKPkd3LKz0k Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:40:32 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_design_for_averline_technology_partners LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Averline Technology Partners is a technology consultancy specializing in providing small businesses with technology expertise typically reserved for large multinationals.

We're a local company and our customers are as well, operating in the Philadelphia, PA metropolitan area primarily. We want our customers to see us as their partners who understand technology and can apply it to enhance their business. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I kind of like this http://www.rts.com/images/logo.gif, in the sense that it combines an abstract logo with a compact representation of a long and potentially unwieldy name (like ATP's). This is kinda cool - http://www.profiweby.cz/aitom/images/logo-profiweby.png. Generally speaking though, I'm not sure what I want besides something that projects professionalism, competence, technology, speed, and creativity. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:47:46 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_needed_for_web_services_company Lionite [ http://www.lionite.com ] is a young and dynamic web services shop focusing on personal and comprehensive solutions. We have been around for over 5 years in one form or another and are now looking to re-brand our image. We need a logo that conveys the following qualities: - We are web enthusiasts and know the web inside out - We are young, small, very professional and have high integrity - We provide a personal and homely service to make our clients feel they are not just another in a crowd Must haves: - The name Lionite must be in the logo - The logo should be light and webby Things to avoid: - Overuse of reflections - Stereotypical web2.0 logos Fri, 21 Nov 2008 04:38:57 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/scoopal_inc_visual_branding LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Scoopal (www.scoopal.ca) is a local search platform for urbanites to rapidly evaluate and share local businesses based on reputation, social significance, and geography. Scoopal is a targeted online advertising platform that amplifies word-of-mouth advertising with measurable results for the independent local business owner who builds their business on reputation. The creative execution should not take itself too seriously, but must still remain sophisticated. The target consumer is highly educated and has quite refined tastes; they want a clean and simple interface to navigate through and enjoy contemporary and minimalist aesthetics. The visual branding should also be simple. Brand Personality Scoopal is youthful, exciting and a highly refined brand. It is design conscious, and is about expertise and social-networks. It must resonate with the widest group of people possible for the crowd sourcing to work. Some brand descriptors: • Fun • Dig • Cool • Mass • Opinion • Trust • Expert • Social • Reviews • Relevant • Merchant • For Me • Local • Rolodex • Community • Inspire • Love • Discover • Consumer • Advocacy • Transparency • Sharing • Crowd Sourcing • Vibrant If the Scoopal was a Human... Scoopal is a senior brand manager with a consumer packaged goods company. He lives in midtown Toronto, in a turn of the century home with his wife. Married for 2-years, they have two young children. Scoopal is known by his friends and family as: • Creative and incredibly fashionable in an understated manner. • Responsible and sincere. • Kind and genuine. • Trendy and very much in the know. • Has a witty and irreverent sense of humour. • A great chef that is always trying something new. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Brand Icon: The development of a simple brand icon is paramount. The execution must be simple enough to be easily adapted in a complete array of various visual representations and physical manifestations at a minimum cost. (i.e., it must be simple to turn into a promotional trinkets-and-trash item to be distributed at mass as well as be able to be visually striking enough for identification in print advertisement). Icon must lend itself to being displayed vertically or horizontally. Delivered as a vector (.AI and EPS) along with Photoshop version. Multi Colour and B&W versions must be supplied. The supplying of an additional one colour version would be appreciated. Colours: Primary, secondary, and tertiary colours should be chosen for the brand and communication elements. Delivered with pantone equivalent colours. Font: Primary, secondary, and tertiary fonts should be recommended for the brand and communication elements. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Scoopal as a brand must appeal to a very broad consumer base in order for the fundamental crowd sourcing to work. However, the consumer target market identifies the most likely user of the Scoopal service. Scoopal's target market is the 'urbanite'. The urbanite is a young, educated, and socially conscious urban professional and affluent consumer with an optimistic outlook on life. Aged, 22-36 Live in major urban centres WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Digg.com - We like the crisp lines, unique and readable font, its consistency and flexibility. Their brands is very flexible, as their text brand or digger symbol can be together or separate. Mediatemple.net - Once again we like the crisp and readable font - works with flat colours or gradients, etc. We like that they have a symbol and logo in one - once again flexibility is paramount. BlackBerry - http://images.google.ca/images?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enCA291&q=Blackberry+logo&btnG=Search+Images A very clean and flexible brand that appeals to the masses. Once again, a combination of a symbol and text. CrowdSpring - A very flexible logo, that is a combination of a text and a symbol - both which can exist without each other and still communicate the brand. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Brand Icon: It MUST be a combination of text and a symbol - both of which must be able to communicate the brand together or independent of each other. Colours: Delivered with pantone equivalent colours. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:16:37 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_activist_based_consumer_website LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: CrowdWorthy.com is the resultant project of the worsening economy. Stores are closing, companies are going out of business, and we are falling into a bad economy with exponential speed. CrowdWorthy exists to bring all consumers together, all sources of consumer information together, and price comparisons from all retailers together under one site. We seek to provide a way for our users to have the most information possible, so they are able to make the most informed buying decisions they can during this bear market. And as we put our economy in mind, we're donating 50% of our gross revenue to charitable organizations. An initial beta launch will be taking place within a few weeks, which will display minimal functionality and optimization as we get used to the new business and prepare ourselves for the final launch. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A logo. A strong logo. A logo conveying exactly what we stand for. We have organized the site to show that we will not stand by and play by the rules, which tell us that the only actions we can take are to turn on CNN. We have to call the crowd. I would like a logo with certain cultural rhetoric (such as a red, blue, or strong grey color scheme). A logo with power. A logo that represents the people who will come to this site, generating the detailed feedback for others to take advantage of, and a logo that shows the strength of a group of people who want to say something. The logo would also show the slogan: All Together Now. (Period included) And as we're releasing a beta version that will be used purely to test the hierarchy and base architecture, I'll need a version of the logo that defines it as a beta. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The universal consumer. The guy who doesn't like taking the position of simply viewing the economy get worse and worse as he sits on the couch. The mother who wants to buy birthday gifts to her kids, but realizes that she has to be smart as she doesn't have a lot of money right now. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:39:47 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/60th_anniversary_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a hearing aid retail company located in Oregon and SW Washington state. Since 1949 we have been helping the hearing impaired community by providing the highest level of service and products available in our area. We sell hearing aids directly to the public, and are referred by physicians, labor unions, and our patients. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We are in need of a special creative logo to apply on our business cards, letterhead, advertisments, etc. that will display/announce our 60th year in business in the year 2009. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Generally, our target audience is people between 60-85 years old. However, more and more younger people are seeking our help for either themselves (babyboomers) or their parents. We want to maintain a professional, friendly apprearance that shows experience and trust. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We are looking for a diamond design, in keeping with traditional 60th anniversary gifts. Our traditional color scheme for offices and advertisements is Pantone #7502 (sand color) and Pantone # 476 (dark chocolate). WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Our creative pallet is open and anxious for all entries. We've attached our corporate logo for reference. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:02:38 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/essential_church LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are launching a new church on 2.22.09. It will a very modern looking, family friendly church. Essential Church has been birthed out of our doctrinal statement: On the essentials we have unity, on the non essentials we have liberty, in all things love. We want to focus on that which is essential for people to know God. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We want a logo that uses the lowercase "e" from essential church. The logo must have a the right looking lower case "e" but we're not sure what that "e" is. We're hoping you can help us find the right looking "e"!!! We want the logo "e" to be able to stand alone without the church name. The "e" can either be set apart from the name or used as the first letter of the name. We would like the option of putting ".tv" at the end of our name (our web address will be essentialchurch.tv) It might be easier if you put the .tv on the name and then we can erase it if we want. If making the name look like a web address messes up the design then don't bother with it. We are not sure if we want to use the website name as our official name, but we might at some point want to do that. The colors we like are similar to the green and black of the Monster Energy drink logo. We'd also like to be able to get or know the font that used for the design we choose. We will likely put other things on the logo in the future, changing out the word that comes after "essential". The logo will have "essential church", but interior signs might use the logo, but say "essential guests", "essential coffee", etc. We would want the ability to do that on our own in the future. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Young upper-middle class families. They are into things that are stylish, classy, modern, and clean. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Everything from Apple Computers & ipods: clean, simple, and Monster Energy drink: Colors and simplicity with a slight edge Grace Point Church (see GracePoint.com): Nice lowercase letter logo that is clean and simple. I just like the circle-g. I wish they did a better job of matching their name to the look of the circle-g. www.essentialchurch.blogspot.com: This was an in-house concept that we did in about an hour. The color, spacing, and font choice needs some work. Feel free to use it as inspiration, make it better, or do something completely different. We're not attached to it by any means. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Nothing that screams cheesy and typical churchy feel. If there are Christian images in the design we'd rather they be subtle or extremely well done. For the most part we're not looking for an overtly Christian or church look. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:55:21 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/exhibitions_department_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Exhibitions Department is an art consultancy & online gallery tailored to less experienced art buyers. The site will strive to make art viewing and collecting more approachable to aspiring collectors by providing a "hip", sophisticated, and straightforward online art viewing and purchasing experience. The site will focus on offering more affordable art with works priced between $500 and $5,000. The site will also provide this audience with a rich source of information on a variety of key art topics such as art genres and styles; framing and hanging art; and national and international art markets. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need an Exhibitions Department logo to use on our website www.exhibitionsdepartment.com (currently under construction) and all of our printed materials. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The Exhibitions Department will offer art consultancy services and affordable art to a growing community of young to mid-career professionals with high discretionary income who regularly purchase products and services online (furniture, apparel, travel, etc), and have a desire to purchase original art but do not know how or where to find it. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: See attached PDF document entitled "Exhibitions Department.Favorite Logo Design Elements". WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The Exhibitions Department logo should include: - “Exhibitions Department”, “The Exhibitions Department”, “Exhibition Dept.” or some written form of the company name - Visual icon that symbolizes the company identity as an informative, fun, hip, sophisticated, art oriented organization and website Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:45:40 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/fix390_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Fix390 means "fix three things in ninety days". Fix390 is a thinking framework for tackling challenges in your personal or work life that helps you prioritize and focus on the three most important things for the next ninety days - no more, no less. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A clean and simple but elegant design for a logo that works for a web site as well as an embroidered patch on a hat or shirt. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Thoughtful individuals, professionals, and organizations who want to work smarter. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We like design that is reasonably contemporary but not too trendy or flakey. A design that will stand the test of time and still look fresh years from now. Color preferences are open at this stage. Fonts, case, spacing, etc also are open - just make sure that you "don't make me think" the instant I see the logo. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:35:50 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_social_media_web_2_0_thought_leader_charlene_li LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: The logo is for my new company, Altimeter Group. The goal of the company is to provide thought leadership on social and emerging technologies. I am a former Forrester analyst and the co-author of a bestseller book, “Groundswell”. But I do not want the logo to reflect the book as I do not own the copyright to ANY part of the book (not the cover, artwork, text, graphics, etc.) Rather, I’d like the logo to reflect the future path I am carving with Altimeter Group. My goal is to help leaders and their companies understand how to deal with and thrive with social and emerging technologies. The unique way that I add value is understanding these new technologies and how people use them -- I'm an active user of these new technologies and also actively seek out new ways that technologies impact people. But I've also always kept a foot in the business world, so am able to understand and interpret how companies are and will be impacted by the adoption of these new technologies. I often describe what I do as traveling to a different world, understand how it works, and return back to bring others to it. Words like shaman, sherpa, and guide, are often used to describe what I do. Why the name Altimeter? It’s an instrument used to tell you your altitude. I give a "reading", so to speak, on where emerging technologies are heading. I can do this at a high level, but can also come down and provide a detailed view of how individuals and companies are being impacted. In addition, the gauge/instrument aspect is that I provide a consistent, hype-resistant view into the world, objective, reliable, and trustworthy. This last point is important to stress. The logo has to invoke trust and integrity, but also clarity and simplicity. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I need a logo that I can use as the basis for a Web site design. It will also be the foundation for a PowerPoint presentation template, business card, as well as formatted, formal reports that I will publish in PDF in the future. The logo needs to work in both color as well as in black and white. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: There are several audiences, and they all have the same goal of tapping into my thought leadership on social and emerging technologies. But they do it for different reasons, namely: - Fortune 1000 companies. These are strategy and marketing professionals, sometimes executives. They want to use the ideas I have to be more competitive and just as important, to avoid pitfalls. - Press. They will call me frequently to get quotes on news events like mergers, product announcements, and funding. - Start ups. They want to brief me on their businesses, so that I will say good things about them to clients or write about them on my blog. - Individuals. They want to contact me for introductions, connections, advice, and in general, to network with me. Most people know my name and have come to rely on my judgment and insight. But they don’t know my new brand. many new people do a search on my name and then link over to my site where they see the brand for the first time. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: My desire is that the logo be simple in both design, typeface, and colors, but not so simple that it’s just typography. I’m repeatedly drawn to logos with transparency. ’ve included a Word doc with examples and detailed explanations. Of course, I love the Apple logo! Simple, 3D, transparent. The current design at www.altimetergroup.com is a basic Typepad template, which I chose because of the simple, graphical treatment with the squares, and the color scheme because it didn’t clash with the book cover. Another example is at wiki.altimetergroup.com. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The logo must have the word “Altimeter” in it, but not necessarily “Group”. There are times when I use just the word Altimeter, such as “The Altimeter” when I’m describing the blog, or “The Altimeter Wiki” (which is at wiki.altimetergroup.com). The logo needs to be flexible enough to stretch across multiple purposes, sites, and uses. On my business card, I’ll have my logo, the words “Altimeter Group”, and my contact information. The logo thus can be just “Altimeter” or “Altimeter Group”. My concern with having “Group” included is that it can clutter the logo unnecessarily, and also that it limits the logos use when I use the Altimeter brand by itself.

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:43:48 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_a_technology_community_consisting_of_students_industry_and_academia LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: UTHATWORKS is the name of a community that lives online and offline. It is focused on bringing together the Chicagoland and Illinois region's (but that shouldn't impact the design) technology higher education students, industry, and the academics that teach and support technology higher education. Together they form the community that will discuss (via blogs and seminars) the skills and knowledge that is needed in a 21st century technology graduate. The students will be further supported by being offered industry mentors and internships to ensure that by graduation they have the soft and hard skills to be employed. UTHATWORKS is for all of the region's higher education technology students. It is not limited to any school or grade point. Through the online community located at UTHATWORKS.org, we will connect students, industry and academia. Envison a place where all of the region's technology students, all the business people, all the technology academics come together to discuss careers and skills with the sole purpose of supporting the student. Students are the future and they represent the future wealth of the region. Envison a student graduating and having an "Advisory Board" (friendslist) that consists of 4 years of people that they have met at UTHATWORKS through internships, mentors, seminars, gatherings. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A logo for UTHATWORKS. It will be the identity for the brand. It will be used online, offline, biz cards. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Technology Higher Education Students: we want them to feel that they belong to a community that cares about their careers and where they are headed. This is our primary focus - the students in the technolgy talent pipeline. Industry: all business - small to large - employ technology knowledge workers. Through UTHATWORKs, they will be supplying mentorships, internships, and "friends" to the region's students. We need them to want to belong and volunteer their time/energy/knowledge Academia: needs to be the strong 3rd partner of the community. They need to feel included and that they are a partner. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Contemporary / Current/ Forward Thinking WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Don't make it look like education. Don't make the word "Work" look like a Road sign Don't use a swoosh Do make it forward thinking Do make the "U" stand for "You" and not "University" Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:24:19 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_illinois_technology_foundation LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: The Illinois Technology Foundation’s mission is to support the development of the Illinois/region's human capital talent pipeline - focus is on technology talent. We as a nation and a region have not done a good job of building our human capital talent pipeline. This issues has been documented and there is some evidence that parents who had technology careers have discourage their children from going into the field. There are huge decreases in the enrollment of higher education technology degrees. The Foundation is focused on rebuilding and fostering a regional environment that will created awareness with grammar school children as to technology career paths, refine skills in high school, and support the region’s higher education graduates in the pursuit of a relevant technology degree. ITF does this by developing and managing targeted programs within the talent pipeline, as well as supporting those designed by others. This is done by facilitating relationships and efforts across industry, academia, and students. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo for the Foundation. The complete name is "Illinois Technology Foundation" . We are unable to get the url "ITF", but we do have variations of the longer name. The site URL is illinoistechfoundation.org We need a strong identity for the name. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Industry (user of technology or suppliers) We want them to think that we are will help them overcome a problem in developing the technology talent pipeline. We want them to think we start at the beginning of that pipeline by getting kids to understand the careers in the field, we want high school students to be taught technology principals and uses that prepare them for 21st century jobs. Then we want them to know that our region's students and educators are working to make technology higher education even more relevant. Academia Building a talent pipeline includes engaging academia. We want to supply them with current knowledge and access to industry to support their efforts in teaching 21st century technology principals and skills. We want to be a partner by bridging industry and academia. Parents We want them to know that the Technology is a viable career choice for their children. Technology careers are not from their generation. We will educate them on this. Students We become a resource for them when looking at career alternatives. Volunteers We are nonprofit and we will need to make volunteering a rewarding and easy thing to do. Foundations We will look for funding from foundations and we will need to inviting for them WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Contemporary design that says "new ideas" "new ways of doing things" Forward thinking (looking). Clean is preferred over fussy. Color is not important yet, as we don't want a traditional logo. Font: see description above WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We don't want to see elaborate or fancy designs. We are looking for clever given the long name. Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:30:50 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_consulting_company Trem Two, Ltd. is a privately held technology consulting company, and it's about time I had some business cards made and threw up a website. So, as such, I'm looking for a logo! I apologize in advance for not having too much guidance initially, but here are a few pointers: 1) I like clean and simple designs 2) Modern is cool, but I don't want to err to far on the side of that "Web 2.0" look 3) I would ideally like something I can use with or without the accompanying text I will definitely add to this as submissions start to flow in and I get a better sense of what I'm looking for. Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:23:38 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_collegew00t_com LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are starting a website about searching for a college and how to stay organized doing it. We will sell organizing tools for the parents or highschool student to use. w00t is a new word used by teens meaning "hooray" HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a logo that we can put on our website banner and can also put on the cover of our products. Our website address is http://www.collegew00t.com (those are zeros). We have not yet added our top banner but once we do it will look something like the one on this page: http://demotemplates.joomlashack.com/lightfast/ We can put the logo in this area, which is 776 x 235, along with some text about our site/products. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Teens and parents of teens in the USA who are searching for colleges. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Our original idea was an image of a teen with an acceptance letter (or large white envelope) in one hand, with both hands up in a "hooray" sort of pose. We are open to other ideas as well! It can be colorful, or a silhouette, simple or complex. The existing "collegewoot" in rainbow colors will be changed to match the new logo. Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:46:26 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/everythingdelivery_ca_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a restaurant listing website that connects users to restaurants that deliver food directly to their addresses. Users can browse through different restaurants and their menus, pictures and more. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We are looking for a creative and eye catching logo that will be the basis of our brand image. It will be used on our website, ads... etc. The logo has to portray what we are about, and should also contain the words (everythingdelivery.ca). OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target market is mostly young students and bachelors, ages 18 - 30. The logo has to be creative and attractive to people of these ages. It also HAS TO BE COMPATIBLE with our website design (attached). WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I have attached a sketch that was the basis of our original logo concept. However, we welcome creativity so feel free to come up with completely original designs. Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:10:50 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/cydec_software_logo_shopping_cart_ebusiness_automation_system LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are an ecommerce platform developer and shopping cart provider. We've recently taken on new partners and are in the process of a complete redesign and relaunch. Our system is all about automating as much of the ebusiness tasks as possible to help our clients make money money, more efficiently. Our solution includes: - Ad Tracking (integrated with email and shopping cart) - Email Management (newsletters and sequential autoresponders) - Affiliate Program (to allow resellers) - Shopping Cart with real-time payment processing, 1-click Back-end Upselling system, and Secure Digital Product Delivery - Customer Center for basic CRM (Help files, Searchable FAQ's, Customer Discount Catalog, Support Ticket System. Plus complete account management, order history, and digital downloads) The entire system is integrated to allow as much automation as possible. You can read the end-user sales copy at: http://QuickPayPro.com HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a complete redesign and rebrand of http://Cydec.com This will be our new retail outlet, replacing QuickPayPro.com as the end-user sales point. The current design is old (trying to look futuristic) and needs to be replaced. We're starting with the logo and then building the rest of the brand around that. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Most of our customers are internet marketers - small to medium, self-employed business owners, selling digital products (information, software, media and memberships) mostly online. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We're looking for an updated web 2.0 feel, with a focus on a user-friendly experience. Think simple, clean, bold, big, glossy and round. We like blue, orange, green and black (probably not all 4 together ;-) WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The design must not resemble current design. It must not look "futuristic" or "high-tech". It should look like we are a big professional company, who's software is feature-rich, time-saving, profit-producing AND easy to use. Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:36:38 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/create_a_logo_and_icon_for_boombox_fm_music_service LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Boombox.fm is a new service that let's you store your music online allowing you to access it from any device (Mobile phone, desktop, etc). HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a versatile logo and a separate icon that goes along with our service that's simple, clean, and clever. This project includes two things: a logo, and an icon. Most logos we've seen on this site have both a name and icon that make up the logo, but we want to be clear that the icon must be usable as a stand alone item. The icon will be used in our desktop application (program icon), mobile clients, and website. The icon portion needs to work at 128x128, 64x64, 32x32, and 16x16 (for mobile phones). You can create separate icons for loss of detail between those resolutions if need be, but they need to be roughly the same icon and correlate to each other. Vector graphics are great, just keep in mind those resolutions and edit appropriately so it looks good at each size. The logo doesn't have those same resolution restrictions, but we'll use it on our website, business cards, etc. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our audience is anyone who uses digital audio over traditional formats (say CD, vinyl, tape, etc), and wants to access that music from multiple locations without manually syncing their music collection, podcasts, etc. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Apple's logo is great. It's iconic, simple, clean, and versatile which makes it easy to apply in lots of situations. Another great design: http://www.studio7designs.com/_ui/images/bg-web_portfolio.jpg Currently our logo is http://www.boombox.fm/images/boombox_logo.png that logo looks ok, but the headphones by themselves don't serve as a decent icon. This is an example of a logo that won't work as an icon. You don't have to use any part of the existing logo. In fact we'd prefer you didn't. We would like an original concept from you. We've been really impressed with the quality on this site so we're sure you can wow us. In the immortal words of Tim Gunn, "Make it work!" WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: It needs to work on both white and dark backgrounds. The current logo is on a black background, but we have versions that work on white as well. A 2D logo is best. Not interested in 3D rendered logos. Again clean, simple, and clever is best. Be careful with cliches. Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:48:38 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/tt_system LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: I am a world famous fitness expert with a proven fat loss system that i want to share with the world HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I'm looking for a logo for my fitness system. It is called Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training System(TM) I would like the words "Craig Ballantyne's" to be in a script font to look like a signature I think I would like it on two lines. I want to stick with a red, black and silver color scheme, and I like the concept of "gum drop" or "candy" style graphics that are very clean looking with some 3d texture to them. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: fitness experts and men and women who want to lose weight with a proven workout system designed by a world famous expert Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:02:04 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/jacknames_com_logo My name is Dutch Boyd. I need a logo for my domain name company called JackNames.com. It's a domain name portfolio where I mainly buy, sell, and develop domain names with a focus on poker names. You can see the current logo that I whipped up myself on the website. I'm not looking for a remake of that logo. I'm looking for something fresh. I like the idea of incorporating the jack from the playing card somehow. The JackNames domain portfolio is over 4,000 names strong. I will be looking to design logos in bulk for many of the names on the list and will be using this contest to spot talent. So please send your best design. Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:05:44 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/strap_daddy LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Strap Daddy is a strap that holds skis and poles together for easy and convenient transportation. Our product will be primarily used in the down hill and cross-country skiing industry. The strap will be black, so the colors of the fonts should be white, yellow or red against a black background HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We will be using this logo on all products, promotion material, stationary and website. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Primarily the downhill skiing industry will use our product. Strap Daddy will also be used by the cross country skiers and trekking community. Here is a link on the skiing demographics (http://www.nssra.com/2001/nssra/index.asp?centre=stat&section=skipart) WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Due to the size of the product (the strap is only 1 inch wide), we require a recognizable mark integrated with the name Strap Daddy. Sometimes, we'll have only the mark on the product, but other times we'll have both the mark and the name. (Example- NIKE is the name and the symbol is the swoosh -see attachment of ideas). If you can find a creative way to make the name Strap Daddy work as the sysmbol, that works too. Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:10:51 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/clean_uber_creative_logo_for_prent_media_public_relations_enterprise_media LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a fully-integrated marketing solutions company with emphasis on graphic design, web design, business collateral and marketing consulting. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Logo will be used on stationary, web, signage and other business collateral. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Other businesses WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Get CREATIVE but no full-color designs... I repeat NO FULLCOLOR LOGOS! WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: NO FULLCOLOR LOGO!! Has to be able to be thermograph-able on stationary. Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:11:00 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/womensministry_net_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are an online community and magazine/resource center for women in ministry leadership in the local church. We currently have 23,000 subscribers to our weekly e-newsletter and offer hundreds of articles, ideas, tools and tips via our site. Our audience is almost entirely women who fall between the ages of 30-60. They serve within churches and reach out to other women through Bible studies, community service, mission involvement, local events, etc. Our desire is to connect people and encourage personal and spiritual growth. This year is our tenth anniversary and we are in the process of a complete redesign and upgrade of our site. We are adding a blog, forum and loads of other new features along with greater accessibility via enhanced functionality, including a search function. For the first time we will offer a members only area in addition to all of the free resources we have provided over the years. The new site will also offer a way for our audience members to participate as contributing writers for the site. The end result should be a a lively and practical set of resources. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We would like to see a logo that is clean, contemporary, fresh, inspiring, and engaging. It should represent women, relationships and growth...also ministry, people, ideas, resources, connection. We are hoping to see something that is less traditional that will speak to our growing community. We will use this design primarily on our website but eventually also in print material, banners, promo products, etc. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Women in church ministry leadership Ages 30-60 Very active and engaged audience WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Labtop and Cantible are two suggested font choices...very different from each other...also very open to other options as long as they appear clean and are easy to read. Here's a link to a graphic that we like since it represents growth and kind of looks like people at various stages of growth.

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:15:55 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/tour_of_glory_volleyball_superbowl LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: HPVBA (High Performance Volleyball Academy - www.hpvba.com), the largest volleyball facility in the northeast US, is hosting a VOLLEYBALL tournament called the "Tour of Glory" that has the following themes / characteristics: 1) Teams from all over the USA will compete in the tournament (want to emphasize the entire USA) 2) USA Olympic Volleyball medal winners will be attending our 'Tour Of Glory' tournament - they all won medals (Gold). No Olympic rings or other copyrighted, trademarked logos can be used. Must be original work. 3) The name of the tournament is TOUR OF GLORY 4) Competition and Raising Awareness of the Volleyball Sport HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: REQUIREMENTS: Please focus on VOLLEYBALL and TOUR OF GLORY. We are looking for a logo that is sporty and not overly "corporate" or boring. 1) The logo should have a VOLLEYBALL in it. 2) Logo must have the tournament name -- "TOUR OF GLORY" or "Tour of Glory" (not case sensitive - your choice) – MAJOR FOCUS on name. 3) Fresh and clean design 4) Easy to print on merchandise (readibility) / a logo that has 'brand' potential (easy to identify with our tournament) 5) LOGO should envoke ACTION, POWER, VICTORY. 6) Should be a compatible design with other sports product logos. 7) Logo should have a sense of competitiveness of the highest caliber. 8) Global Prescense, USA national victory symbolism. COLOR SCHEME: Please visit www.hpvba.com to look at our website color scheme. For this logo, we are seeking the blue and gold. However, we are open to variations that include Red, White, and/OR Blue given the tournament's theme of Olympians and USA. However, we are very much open to other color schemes and want to give the designers complete creative freedom. USAGE: The primary use of the logo will be to brand an annual mega sport event (think Volleyball Superbowl). Along with advertising the event, it will also be used for merchandising, and for our soon-to-be built website dedicated solely to the Tour of Glory tournament. DELIVERY: - Logo must be scaleable in color and text. In other words, we should be able to change the colors or text / letters in the future (if our mood changes) - Logo must be large and high-resolution so that we can use it as a large image in files without grainy noise or image-loss - Logo must be delivered in PSD, JPG, GIF, etc formats - Showing the logo on various merchandise (t-shirts, hats, or keychains) will be helpful as these will be sold at the Tour of Glory Tournament event. Here's an example of finished project on www.crowdspring.com that shows the logo on merchandise. http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/logo_for_sports_league_management_site_and_community/gallery/my_option_1_applications - We would like two variants of the logo. One that works well against a dark background (like the blue on our website), and another against white. - Please provide stationery (word doc, ) that we can use to draft our marketing material. Include logo and same color scheme within. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: AUDIENCE: Our customers and audience: sports related corporations (Nike, powerade, etc.), primarily volleyball atheletes, aspiring atheletes, parents, sports enthusiasts, and coaches who appreciate design. Our audience are tech-savvy sports users who are obsessive about volleyball. We would love to build a brand that these fans would be proud to wear on a t-shirt. Our Tour of Glory site (not built yet) will have Flash and advanced designs. Powerade and Nike are doing great things with their site and our site requires logos that could mesh well with those type of backdrops. One thing our logo should reflect is a sense of Athletic Pride. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Other Notes or References: - We attached a draft / basic sample of one possibility for a logo, but ARE NOT limited to this at all. We are OPEN to all ideas, so please be creative. We've attached that one idea as a means to promote other ideas. However, if you think the "volleyball with wings" can be enhanced and improved to make a great logo, please show us what you can do with that idea. - Our Tour of Glory website (when built) will have a similar layout (not same colors), flashy look: similar to http://www.poweradegb.com/ This is our first time using Crowdspring and if all goes well, we will certainly be using it more frequently for our creative needs. Much thanks in advance to all designers submitting to this project, your time is truly appreciated. Any questions, let me know. Thanks. Chirag Patel 732-939-0444 chirag@hpvba.com Sat, 15 Nov 2008 20:31:39 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/logo/street_surge_logo LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Street Surge is a Web 2.0 street marketing team mobilization suite. The software allows teams to collaborate and complete tasks for the purpose of their team...which could be a band, politician, movie, models, bars/nightclubs, etc... Pretty much anything that can have a fan base or following. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We are trying to establish the identity of Street Surge. Being a web development company, we know the start is the logo. So, we are looking for a clean, contemporary logo the encapsulates the purpose of street surge. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Since we will have multiple target audiences, this is difficult. Since that is the case, we are going for a neutral logo because we will have marketing pages that target each niche using that logo and identity. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I don't want to point out designs because I think it points designers too much into a direction. The only thing I can say is that when I think of Surge...I always think of Green. When I think of Street, I think of gray. So, maybe Green, Grey, and Black combo? Play with using our parent company's green: http://loadsys.com/ However, if you think you have a better color combo, feel free. We have not fully decided on colors, we are looking more for a designer to put in their perspective.
