[REQ-LOGO] – $40 Comp - UK Business Development Co Logo Required

[BizDever]

** Payment has been made with NP$ as a deposit and the winner will be awarded $40 worth of NP$ @ .02 (2000np$)

Type of Contest: LOGO Design
Prize: $40.00 (NP$)
Contest End Date & Time: 17:00PM GMT : 10th February 2009
Size Requirements: 250px x 100px
Color Requirements:

The background of the website (under construction) will be mid Blue & light Grey. I would ideally like the use of greys and blues for the logo, however, I am open to other colour formats and would change the background if necessary.

Perhaps Darker Blue & Grey for the Logo?

** The Logo must also be able to work in Black & White if required **

General Requirements:

I would like the design to communicate: a “Corporate” feel, quality, detail (attention to), Growth (from Biz Dev) and innovation. Somehow communicates a change of fortune / upturn in sales... (if you don’t ask....)

Logo to be made from:

Crammond
Business Development

Originally the name Crammond came from a village just West of Edinburgh where I used to cycle (Cramond Brig) and my idea was to somehow use the double mm to make an old arched bridge (bridge to success?), however that idea may be too cheesy, so am open to any ideas.

If possible, I'd like the mm's to be in a font without an upright on the side, so look rounded/symetrical?. xxx mm xxx / Cra MM ond

The Logo will be used on the company’s website and on company letterheads & in Directories etc. It must be clear & simple therefore and also configurable for Horizontal & Vertical use (if possible).

The company is a Business Development consultancy, operating in the SME Market (t/o < $20m), primarily focussed to growing a company’s sales.

Some graphic or “play with the lettering” could communication growth, an uplift, something positive, abstract?, to make it interesting.

Ideally it will be clean and corporate. The Name Crammond must be prominent.

Additional Information:

If you do a search for: business development consultancy, marketing consultancy or Sales & marketing consultants, you will get an idea of what “the industry” normally does.

I would like to bit slightly different/innovative, I can’t be too wacky, but neither too boring....

Lets see what you got.... :D

Duplicated message (don't know why it did that)

Nice. As you say, it's clean & professional.

I like the Blue & Grey and the way you used Grey for the mm's.

What are the circles indicating? one can't suggest going around in circles in business developement :hehe:

Is the C bigger than the ending d, don't like the subliminal message of decrease.

Good job.

Don't like the merged double mm's, sorry

hello here's my first concept...thx

Nice try.

Just a bit too "detailed" for me. The thin font and very fine character endings may get lost when brought down in scale?

I made an entry on the college computers today, can be revised if necessary.

Interesting. Nice graphic suggesting growth.

Colour's a bit too "loud" perhaps? Not sure the electric blue would work on Letterheads, a corporate website and things.

Nice to see use of a graphic though, perhaps that arrow could be incorporated into, as part of, or over the m m's?

thx for the FB..here's another idea with a thicker font..thx

Nice.

Much prefer the font / text. Perhap the business Development is a bit lost / overshadowed?

What does the ball mean? Perhaps you looked at the line:
"Some graphic or “play with the lettering” could communication growth, an uplift, something positive, abstract?, to make it interesting" and used the ball. Is it a Pool ball? Should it be a lucky 8 ball or something? (just thinking).

Do you guys hear the expression "Green shoots" (of recovery), would that ruin your nice logo?

Some sparks? a spark jumping between the top of c & d (flash of brilliance/energy/bright spark...) mustn't be too big though.

Am just trying to sow some creative seeds / prompt ideas. No offense is meant.

Wow! lots of choice

I like the idea on the top left, using the letter C. Like the font too, without uprights on mm's.

Could the C be made into somehow a growth curve, the upper part showing an upward trend? / (Sales) The lower part decline (bank overdraft .

Like the use of solid colour in the letters (top & bottom examples), is simpler, clearer and will shrink down better for other uses.

Not so keen on the balls, as am not sure what they indicate (no pun intended!)
