Logo Design Brief

We need a logo/identity design for a new company based in Sydney called Foundry.

Foundry is focused on investing in, co-founding and building digital businesses.

The 'audience' for our brand is diverse. We must appeal to conservative investors and corporates as well as digital entrepreneurs and young people in the digital industry who we will want to work for us.

So we need to look credible but not dull.
Innovative and edgy but not flakey.

Our name was chosen as what we are going to do is "found" and "co-found" new digital businesses and work with "founders" of digital businesses, so I'd be interested in seeing how it works with an emphasis on the 'found' part of the name.

Our personality attributes: intelligence, innovation, trust and excellence.
