We need to replace our current logo and are looking for a really catchy design!
Our social network helps students and former students to get/stay in touch. The users can create events and take part in already created events. Everything is possible: Pub Tours, Cinema Evenings, Hiking, Shopping, etc. At these events you get to know other people and these connections are not only fun but also very important for your professional career.
These are the thoughts about our logo:
1) The logo should be simple yet complex
2) It should also be possible to display the logo in black and white.
3) The logo should have the "icon" on the left and the "name" on the right.
4) No logo that has something to do with students/university, since we don't want to limit ourselves!
5) The logo should be as catchy that the "icon" also could stand alone and be recognized.
6) The color(s) should go well with the colors of our website (see attachment).
7) The new logo should replace the old logo, so please make it different!
If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us.
Have fun!

Requirements
Must have
- - Icon must be as catchy that it can stand alone (without the text) and be recognized.
- - Icon must look nice in white on a black background
Nice to have
- - Color(s) should go well with the colors of the website (see attachment).
- - I think that one single color looks the nicest.
- - Try to play with the letter j (as a catchy icon)
- - Think about that the users meet other users somewhere at a location and do all sort of leisure activity together.
- - It would be nice to have something playful, but also professional looking.
Should not have
- - No icon that limits us to students/universities.
- - Nothing like the stock images you'll find when searching for "meet"/"join"/"people" (those figutes of people in a circle).
