LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Lightspan Digital is a Chicago Social Media and Digital Marketing start-up. Our byline is "Clear, simple, direct digital marketing"

At Lightspan Digital we help our clients make connections through social media and digital marketing. Connections and community engagement are the whole point. We strike the right balance between strategy and execution. We get results for our clients via hands-on digital marketing work, such as co-tweeting, micro-blogging, online customer engagement and email marketing.

About the Lightspan name: light is a reference to "clear," "easy," "worry-free." Span is a reference to how social media and digital marketing span the gap between people, businesses and communities. Simply put, the name makes reference to "clear connections." Since the clear connections name was taken, we went with Lightspan Digital and we love it! :)

Last but not least, we will give props to the winner in our blog and tweets!

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We are looking for an original simple logo. Logo will be used on website, business cards, twitter, facebook, linkedin etc.

-Concepts: Should fall in line with our motto "simple, clear, direct digital marketing."

-Dimensions: It will be used in places both wide and square so pls don't make it super-wide.

-Type: Nothing too chunky or heavy; avoid serifs

-Other: We love curves but no swoosh

-Colors: Open to all options

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

-Non-profits and small businesses

-Companies with strong community involvement goals

-Businesses with sustainability goals

WE LIKE THESE EXAMPLES:

No particular logos but I like the friendly illustrations by simon oxley (simonox on istockphoto) and will be using some of his vector art, particularly those that use the "growth" concept, as website images.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THIS IN OUR PIECE:

Just the company name: "Lightspan Digital"!

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

P.S. Again our gratitude will be broadcast all over Twitter, FB, blog etc. We won't forget you! :)
