Logo Design Brief
Company Background
Meldian is a new software company.
Meldian defined means "to announce or declare."
Company Personality
If the company were a person, we feel it would be a male in his mid-late 30s (old enough to have experience and young enough to be a trend-setter/innovative/early adopter). He is married with two young kids, so he's responsible. He prefers a business casual style of dress.
He's 6'3" with dark hair and piercing green eyes; he's unique. He exercises regularly and is strong and physically fit. He's competitive in sports – prefers team sports or competing in a team environment (cycling). He's very passionate about is sports, interests and work.
He's friendly, but firm.
He has a masters degree; is very well read keeping up on the latest trends in business and socially and he is socially and environmentally conscious.
He has a great amount of integrity, always keeping his word. He is straight-forward, but sensitive when delivering bad news. It is difficult to upset him. He is very steady, patient and persistent. He will often take charge of a problem to find the solution while others are running around dramatizing the problem. He has a certain street smart about him that allows him to see things others might not. He's very self-confident and self-assured, but not blatant about it.
The logo does not have to be limited to just words, a graphic may be used as well.
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: The deadline was extended because most of the designs focused on the product functionality and not the a look for the parent software company. Consequently, the brief was revised to remove any information about the product so designs could concentrate more on the company.
