[REQ-LOGO] [REQ-BANNER] Information security startup - 50 GBP / 80 USD - 30 days

[agileinfosec]

Hi,

I have an information security startup, and I provide consultancy services to different types of clients, especially in the financial industry.

The company's name is AGILE INFORMATION SECURITY LTD, but can be shortened to AGILE INFOSEC.

I would like to have a professionally looking logo designed for the company, something which I can use in as a logo image, avatar and business card image or background. In addition, I would like to have a banner designed which would serve as a background for my future website. More details below.

Type of Contest : LOGO design
Prize : 50 GBP / 80 USD including BANNER (see below)
Contest End Date & Time : 30/10/2013
Size Requirements : SVG image, resizable
Color Requirements : My favourite color is blue but I'm open to ANY suggestions. Most of the time the image will be used in a BLACK background. Bonus points if it looks good in a white background too.
General Requirements : This is a startup company, let you creativity roam free. No requirements besides the svg and black backgrounds.
Additional Information : This is an information security company. Meaning we fight epic battles with hackers and the like (not really). Most of the company's expertise is in security code review and penetration testing (offensive security testing). So you can either opt for a clean professional and unconspicuous logo or something with a security theme - code, hackers, ninjas, etc.

Hi Amin,

It is a good first option, but here is some honest feedback:
- I don't like the choice of colours, I don't believe the orange looks good with the blue.
- As said above, the image will most of the time be on a black background, so ideally you could present it on both a white and black backgrounds?
- I like the shield idea! But it looks a bit too cartoonish as is at the moment.

@agileinfosec, Please provide some feedback or post an update so everyone knows you're still monitoring this contest.

@All Designers, I would advise you don't post anymore entries until the contest holder confirms they are still participating and isn't going to abandon this contest.

Thanks,

Hi all,

thank you for your entries but it is still not what I am looking for.
sheryonline I like yours the best, but I really don't like the stylized "A". Apart from that it seems a bit on the large side.

Eric_Lyon the contest is still on.

 

[Amin Khatri]

I will post the revision soon..

Sheryl, it looks very nice, thanks. I like the first logo from the top the best (in blue).

The only thing I'm realising I don't like it's the shield. I get where you are coming from with it (defending from hackers, etc), but do you have any other ideas?

Amin, just because I didn't like your first entries do not let that stop you from sending more!

Thank you so much, i am glad that you liked the design, Here is another variation with two different logo designs with Ninja blades and codes concept.

Thanks

Hi sheryonline,

I like your designs quite a lot.

I showed them to a couple of people and the general opinion is that the best so far is the blue shield (I know I'm contradicting my last post but it is hard for me too to choose!).

Is there a way you could make the blue shield one have some movement (such as in the latest start design you presented) but still maintaining the shield design? So to seem fast, agile, if you know what I mean. Also can you please try experimenting with a few different types of shields, maybe a bit more shiny?
No need to mess with the letters of the blue shield any more, that part is perfect!

Thanks in advance - and I think we will reach an agreement very soon.

I will post soon hangon.
