LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Startup focusing on robots that can be controlled over the Internet.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

I need a logo that can be used for my website and business card, but flexible enough to be used elsewhere (even on a t-shirt). It would be nice to have it in both vector graphic as well as a very high res version also. The design should be inviting, curious, interesting, fun, and approachable. I'll generally use it in color - but shouldn't look bad if printed in greyscale though.

There should be a fun/cute image of a robot, plus the domain name of our website "goodrobot.com". Or if you want to go more "tech" and a bit more professsional instead of just "fun" that's fine with me too. It should not be too "cutsey" or over-the-top so that it would be unappealing to a professional. Interesting and/or inviting for a wide audience is what I'm looking for.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Hobbyists, business professionals, consumers. Basically anyone who wants to rent, buy, build, or control, an internet controlled robot.

WE LIKE THESE EXAMPLES:

Need a playful font, our current launch page is only a placeholder but there's one example there where I have the domain logo done in a playful font. Not overly happy with it (otherwise I wouldn't be here) but it is in the ballpark: http://www.goodrobot.com/

Like this one, just not the lightbulb on the nose though:

Neat robot in ink (antenna on head seems to be common in a lot of robot drawings):

This robot comes up quite a bit in searches I conducted. I find it slightly on the spooky side, but there is clearly something about it that appeals to people. The robot with heart theme seems to be quite popular and common, so that might be worth considering including in the design:

I generally like robots which are fairly square or boxy looking, but this one is definitely an exception to that. I like it:

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THIS IN OUR PIECE:

fun, friendly, approachable, with appeal for a wide audience.

I've assumed that GoodRobot.com should have capital G and capital R so the separate words stand out, but if you can make a case for something else or have another method of making the words stand out I am open to that too if it looks nice.

Must be an original work with unlimited license to use.

Logo needs to include both a robot image and the domain name (or combine them)
