Logo Design Brief
Why Logo is Needed:
We have just had our previous domain name brought (Welfound) and renamed ourselves mahired.
Attached is the previous logo as well as our brand manual to give an idea of the company colours and personality. We used the person icon for the ‘o’ in the logo as our company icon.
About Company:
Mahired is job-matching platform that leverages the power of referrals to reach the right hire.
Companies can advertise their roles on our platform and tap into a community of candidates who are ready to refer to jobs they are matched with. Successful referrals result in referral bonuses and charity donations. We are expelling the smoke and mirrors of the recruitment industry putting the focus on people rather than the profits of the process.
Mahired = ‘mahi’ + ‘hired’. Mahi is Maori for work (Our initial users will be Kiwis & Aussies in London)
The Maori element in the name is part due to me (founder) being Maori, our initial users being from NZ and Australia and the theme of helping one another within the community of candidates and referring to the jobs on the platform. Community/family support is a strong trait in the Maori culture. Outside of that we would like the logo to be relevant to a wide range of audiences as we have not picked the specific industry we’ll start in yet and may end up going across of different industries.
Here is a link to the current site that has been put up as a placeholder - https://www.welfound.com/
We are interested in:
1. Logos that are similar to what we have and looking to use the ‘I’ as the person icon this time - have shared the visal brand manual to help.
2. Something totally different! Again have shared the brand manual to give an idea of personality etc for this.
Updates
There looks like a lot of designers have saved the project to submit designs recently but haven't come through yet. Of the designs that have been presented so far, there are potentially one or two we can work on with the designer to refine but we haven't had one through that has really hit our brand identity.
Hi - I tried to request an extension before but didn't get a response. We have been offline for the festive season and haven't had a chance to provide feedback etc to the designs that have come through. We have decided between three designs and want to be able to provide some solid feedback for them over the weekend before making the final decision first think next week after their revisions. Is that possible?
