Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
code::completion, inc.

What type of product or service do you offer?
We offer interactive web application development. It tends primarily away from the creative aspects and more toward the technical.. so our target customers are customers requiring e-commerce integration, intranet development, etc.

How long have you been in business?
2 years

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
The logo, as is, is simply horrible and was created by myself in about 2 hrs. The new logo is intended to project a clear, simple, accessible brand while still retaining the elements of integrity/reliability.

What are your long term goals?
Our long term goal is to be the among the leaders in the developing web application space.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
April 27

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Our existing audience consists of small business owners who are usually not technically oriented but require technical expertise.

Who would you like to add to your audience?
I would like to add executives at medium-to-larger enterprises.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
A simple, clear, easily read/interpreted logo.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Blue and black (please see http://www.codecompletion.ca for inspiration).

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Anything that works!

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
First and foremost, the brand is based on reliable solutions.. our target market is customers who *require* rock-solid reliable, solutions.

What is your tagline or slogan?
Online Business Solutions

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
We provide easy-to-use, reliable application development that suits your business needs.

Where will your new logo be used?
Primarily website (http://www.codecompletion.ca) and secondarily on business cards

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
An example (http://www.norex.ca) , I think their logo is too simplistic and missing 'punch'. I like simplicity and cleanness of design, but I would prefer something with a bit of life.

List competitive URLs if possible
http://www.singularitydesign.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/Display.Page/page/solutions_development.cfm (not really a competitor) - I like their logo, it's clean, easy to read but lively

What sets you apart from your competitors?
Reliably engineered solutions in a competitive field filled with companies who routinely produce broken service offerings.

In addition, we have the ability to produce customized solutions much quicker that are much more user-accessible than our competitors.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Professional

Hi guys,

Thanks for the input on this one.. some good entries, but I'm still hoping for a couple more.

In general, I'm looking for something with a bit more life.. the logos presented do have the element of simplicity, which is great, but I'd really like it if any of the designers could submit something with a 'punch'.. such that when I look at it it really stands out for me.

Again, thanks for your submissions and please let me know if I can assist you in any way further.

Thanks,
Charles

Logoholik - like the color scheme in your last one, the blue/black is nice.

I'd like to do something with the "CC".. the idea of using the CCs in some way does appeal to me, but not sure if I can think of a good way to do so. Maybe the thing to do is to convert the CC into something else ... as I think of it now it would be nice to have something denoting 'fast' or 'speed'.. as in taking a project to 'completion' quickly and efficiently.

Thanks again.

Hey guys,

Great, those last 2 were really nice.. I think we're getting really close.

logoholik - nice use of the completion, I really like the effect .. how about adding the tagline 'Online Business Solutions' underneath the 'codecompletion' - with this, maybe shift the CC's to be slightly smaller such that the 'codecompletion/online business solutions' has the same height

skyvee - that's a nice icon on the left, could you maybe make the 'CODECOMPLETION' into all caps and smooth out/antialias the icon a bit (and maybe put some reflection)?

Again, thanks, I'm very impressed!

thanks, here is an update. Circular logo has to be a bit larger in order to accomplish perfect balance.
Cheers,
