LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Symbio is a small counseling and consulting practice based in San Francisco, California although we consult with families across the country and overseas. We are a well known name in the Bay Area. It's just the two of us - and we're a couple as well as business partners. We formed Symbio to help parents of young kids (0-6 years) deal with a wide range of issues that families often struggle with in the early years of family life (e.g. sleep, behavioral, discipline). We do a large number of speaking engagements and write articles for national publication. In our work, we we blend an expert perspective based on the latest psychological research with a casual, friendly style and flexible approach. Please visit our website for more information about our practice: www.symbiosf.com

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We're looking for a logo that we can use on letterhead, stationary, promotional materials (both print and electronic), our newsletter and website. We have a very simple, modern aesthetic. Although we deal with young children and families we don't want anything cutsie or cartoonish. We're looking for something clever and original but simple and clean.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

We work with families who have young kids ages 0-6 years - most are well educated and middle to upper income. Fifty percent of our clientele is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, 40% are located in other urban centers across the United States and 10% are overseas. Although the majority of the families we work with are headed by two heterosexual parents, many are also headed by same-sex parents or single moms or dads. Families tend to be a mix of ethnicities. We also do a lot of work with bi-racial families and families who have become bi- or multi-racial through adoption. In addition, we work in conjunction with many schools, pediatricians, psychologists and OT/PT/speech therapists.

We want our design to give the impression that we're smart, innovative, accessible and that families can relax with us.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

We like clean lines and simple logos. The style of our home and office tends toward the industrial but don't necessarily need that for our logo. We don't like anything cutsie, cartoonish or swirly - and don't like pastel colors.
