I need a logo for my firm URBIN, Based in San Francisco, URBIN focuses on the intersection of infrastructure, architecture and urban design. The name Urbin is a contraction of the words Urban Infrastructure
I will also need a business card design
My primary clients are large utility companies (gas and electric providers). I work with utilities to come up with innovative and community sensitive design practices.
I provide design strategy.
I like sans serif fonts including:

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hello Designers,
Thank you for participating and submitting your designs for my logo. Currently, I would like to see more designs prior to making my desiciion. To re-iterate what i'd like:
Minimalist / Modernist Design aesthetic
Influences: Le Corbusier, EAMES, Paul Rand, Massimo Vignelli
My business consults with large companies that provide electricity, gas & electic to cities and communities. I work with them to create standards of design excellence as it relates to their built work in communities. The name of my business stands URBIN stands for Urban Infrastructure.
The logo could be super simple just : U/I or UI if it is designed correctly. Please think about how the logo would appear on a website, business card etc.
Please message me with questions
Thank you
