Logo Design Brief
Hi Everyone,
Update: We have attached a sample of what our outside signage will look like. Any other logo modifications welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to participate in this logo competition. Although we aren't very good, we've come up with a preliminary design (as per the attachments). The logo is to the left of the line (a "D" and an "a"), representing the company, Dental Aspects. The company is an up market, classy dental practice, which we would like our logo to depict.
We are looking for you to improve this design, so we can finalise it as soon as possible. We'll let you be as creative as you wish, but want to make sure we get a result that is professional looking.
- The colours we want are blue, white and possible a splash of a bright colour e.g. green.
- Some professional looking fonts
- At the intersection between the "D" and the "a", could we have rounded edges to follow the contour of the "a" (we're not very good, so haven't been able to do this)
Any other slight modifications to improve the design are most welcome - I'm sure we can look forward to your creativity.
We are looking to get this done as soon as possible, as signs and marketing materials will need to be made within the next 2 weeks.
Many Thanks.
The Dental Aspects Team

Requirements
Must have
- Please see attached files for logo.
- Must work in black and white and in solid print on uniforms
- Text must be bold/thick enough so that it can go well on signs/billboards outside the building as thin text is hard to see from a distance
Nice to have
- - We're just looking for you to improve on it, and make it professional. Also see brief
Should not have
- - We do not want the colour red, as it reminds patients of pain and blood
- Logos that can be described as cartoonish, bubbly or stale
- No tooth images/other dental related products should be included
