What do we want?
-
We are looking to update our "Brand" we already have a simple “home grown” logo and we are now looking for a new one, once we have this updated logo and businesses look and feel though the business card design we will refresh our website with the new logo and design thus updating the Companies overall look at feel.

Our current site is www.innov8.net.au is a very basic wordpress site and we will be updating it once we have the new logo and designs done


Our initial thoughts on the new Innov8 identity are
• Logo Concept
- One of the key things is obviously the 8
- I was thinking that a logo that had 8 as the core of the logo would be cool,
- Almost like having a “ring” or hoop that is twisted to form an 8 with different services scribed on the inside.
- So we would have a Large 8 and the inside would have ring each service or section engraved.



• Brand / web Feel
- Simple
- Professional
- Innovative
- Clear
- Destination
- Unique
- Impartial
- Safe
- Leading edge

OK I realised that I goofed on the setup of the project so I have now increased the overall budget to make it a more realist amount, and also made it hopefully more interesting to do the things we need done

If you could look at trying to build the logo's with a texture that gives the impression of a 3D metalic look please, at least as a starting point.  We did manage to get this with our existing logo.

Hi All

Sorry for the delay in this project! I had an accident and dislocated my right shoulder, I am right handed so this wasn't a great situation to be in. I will announce the winner this week!

Thank you all for you patience and designs I am now finalising the project and I am working with a couple of designers to choose a winner, Please do not send me any more designs.

As I will have to say thanks but not thanks.

Sorry once again for the late close of this project as you might have read I had a major accident and dislocated  my shoulder, the result has been I have only been able to work at about 25% so keeping the business running has been no. 1 priority.

Thanks once again
