Requirements
Must have
- - Clean and simple design
- Very creative ("wow, who would come up with that?") design
- Should look good monochromatic (we´re gonna make stamps using the logo)
- Non-obvious eco-friendly/sustainable design
- Consider the meaning of the company´s name in the logo, without necessarily using the name or the initials ("VIA" means "way, path, road, direction, route, means, channel, line, mode, manner, fashion, duct, original or copy of a document, railroad, by, by way of" and "SUSTENTÁVEL" means "sustainable, maintainable, supportable; with the capacity to endure; in ecology the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time; able to be used in a way that does not deplete; process, product or lifestyle that can be kept to indefinite; sustainable way of life is one in which human needs are met without diminishing the ability of other people, wild species, or future generations to survive)
Nice to have
- - We like: blue, green, black and white (but we´re open to other ideas)
- Playing with figure-ground contrast
Should not have
- - Common symbols like: leaf, tree, rainbow, wave, animal, planet Earth, water drop, smile or a "cute" design are examples of what we DON´T WANT
