Logo Design Brief
Social Element is a young, creative company based in Seattle. We do social media marketing, reputation management and website design.
Being as we are a social company, we thought it would be fun to give DesignCrowd a try for our logo design!
What we are looking for in a logo:
-Playful yet professional
-Fresh and young
-Simplicity
-Personality...something that will leave an impression
We would like to see some character-like concepts submitted, as well as just some creative designs.
What to Avoid:
-corny animal images
-over-complicated word art
-Anything that looks like word art in general
-Generic looking design.
Remember personality and simplicity!!
We would like the logo colors to include kelly green and dark grey, but again are open to others. We do like the idea of keeping our name in the logo, but won't shun any without our name.
We've played around with including the elements "earth, wind, fire, water" and maybe adding a "social" element. We've also played around with the idea of including a "social" element as if from the periodic table. We're not sure if this is too literal, since we are looking for something fun and relevant to what we do. Which is why we are looking for creativity (and simplicity).
