Project Summary:

What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Translators' Companion [TC]

What type of product or service do you offer?
We are a newly started software company, who offers an administrative tool for registration, administration and invoicing of translation missions. Translator Companions contains a registration/dispatching module and an invoicing (issued/received) module as well as a tool for in depth analysis of the user’s activities. It would be great, if the logo also could illustrate this range of possibilities.

How long have you been in business
We are not in business yet. We will be in business by the end of the year.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
We want to look professional and reliable and specially with an edge that shows that we offer the means for a non-professional administrator to create a comprehensive analytical tool which can even serve as input to a full fledged bookkeeping system.

What are your long term goals?
Our long term goal is to make Translators' Companion the first of a series of companions targeted to translators and/or translation agencies in the EU. Additional modules designed to solve specific problems within this customer group will be developed.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
Our homepage will be released this fall, but we would like to add the logo as fast as possible for customers with preview access.

AUDIENCE PROFILE:
Please describe your existing audience
Freelance translators and Translation Agencies.

PERCEPTION/TONE/GUIDELINES:
What type of logo would you like?
A logo that says, that we are competent and professional with a new approach to administration of assignments received.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
No

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Multilanguage document or a translator at work (+ reports or a $ symbol).

COMMUNICATION STRATEGY:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
That it’s a company with a new approach to professional self administration. Administration made easy and the wide range of possibilities the product offers.

What is your tagline or slogan?
We don’t have a tagline yet.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
Administration (of translation assignments) made easy.

Where will your new logo be used?
On our website, business cards & letterhead.

COMPETITIVE POSITIONING:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
This is an entirely new concept, analytical bookkeeping at the source. This fact plus its availability in two versions: on-premise software or SaaS (Software as a Service) means we have currently no competitors.

What sets you apart from your competitors?
See above.

TARGETED MESSAGE:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Translation administration made easy.

I really like the idea/spirit in Taldo's suggestion. I would like to make some smaller adjustments and go ahead with this logo.

1) I would like to use a different blue. I don't know PMS number, but RGB is 79,129,189 (#4F81BD)
2) I would like the three documents to look something like the attached instead - still in three colors though.

Thanks! :)

Here is the revision. It looked a little busy with the writing and folded edge on all three documents, so I just put them on the top one. Please let me know what you think....

This is looking great. I'd like to play around with the colors a bit though. Maybe tone the black down to a gray tone (rgb hex E5E5E5). I assume we can close the thread here and that I can do that myself with the original files you send me, right?
