Logo Design Brief

Note : when I got a good feeling with at least one designer, the project will be switched in non-refundable. By a good feeling, I mean a "wow !! " effect.

This logo will be for a new startup running on the web ( think "network" when you design the logo.)

Our aim is to diffuse (i.e. to sell) knowledge to our members in order to get them creating their own online business. The knowledge will be in the field of marketing and strategy. We will be running a blog with free and paid content.


The name of the company will be "lugus" (the first letter is a L). The emblem will be a cock (I mean the animal). It is not compulsory to have the cock in full, if you want, you can work with only the head of the cock. The cock should be shown sideways.

We would like our logo showing that we are active on the web, forming a community with our readers/clients/members. You must use (connected) dots somewhere to show that.

Our colors will be orange and dark gray (maybe with declinaison, i.e. you could also use yellow somewhere…)
Our tagline will be something like "gagner de l'argent et rendre le monde meilleur", it means "earn money and make the world a better place"

The emblem shouldn't smaller than the name.

After the logo, we may need a design project for a wordpress templates.

First, let me thank all of you for the great work you are doing.  The briefing is never an easy task, so I will try to make it as clear as possible.

Please take consideration of these :

1)  The L should be in capital letter to be sure that no one thinks it as "iugus"

2) Use a white or light gray background to promote the logo

3)  Must have dots and/or connected dots in the logo

4)  The cock must look to the right, not the left

5)  Do not use a full cock, use only the head or the head + the breast.  So wherever I use the word "cock", you should understand "the head of the cock" or "the head and the breast of the cock"

6) The cock must not be real, you can use angular forms (you should use angular forms), with a real cock I feel like I am opening a restaurant ! (remember : it is for an internet company :-) )

7)  Lugus is a celtic god of war, so make the cock a bit more aggressive (I've said a bit more, do not make a killer cock neither :-) )

8)  The name "Lugus" must be below the picture of the cock 

9)  I've mentioned orange and gray as primary colors, you can use red or yellow and/or black a bit somewhere if you want

10)  The picture of the cock must be at least as width as the name "Lugus" below it.

I will now answer to each of you personally and emphasize which point you should work on.

So again, I know it is not an easy task and let me thank you one more time for the work you are doing.

Maybe an idea to try : create something that is like a spider's web with connected dots, and the head of the cock (which should be more angular) is bursting this spider's web. (the head should be looking to the right).


I will try to draft something to show you my idea

Added Wednesday, February 05, 2014

One important thing to note and try is that the pictures (with the head of the cock and the connected dots) should be modern, high-tech like, as we are an internet company


But the name "Lugus" should be with traditional, serif font, as we diffuse knowledge.

Dear all,

I would like to thank you again.

For this second shot, you were 37 designers, submitting 61 new designs.

I really appreciate the time you've spent on this project.

As the deadline comes, I have to make decisions.

Until now, I don't have the "wow" effect I am looking for.

I have printed all the designs received and I have showed it to relatives and colleagues.

I looked to their eyes to see what they really felt about it.

I did the same exercise to myself and it ended up with this : 

If I have to think why I like the design, it means that this design is not for me.

First, I have to think "this one has something", and then I can think why this one has something.

Doing this, I have chosen to work with 5 of you, to try to have what I really want.

If your design is not chosen, please do not consider that you have done a bad job.

Again, I appreciate your participation in this project.

I take the time to write this because I don't have the time to write to each of you personally. 

The chosen designers will received personal feedback in a few hours.

Regards,

Sébastien
