We are looking for a logo for a string of smaller motels in Alberta, Canada. They service mostly longer term crew/construction people. The idea of the motels is to provide rooms with the comfort of home and a family environment. The full name of the company is AIM : Alberta's Industry Motels. The logo is to be used primarily for all of our motel signs and staff jerseys. Thank-you

Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?AIM Alberta's Industry Motels

What type of product or service do you offer?We are a string of small motels

How long have you been in business?2 years

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?We want to create some branding of the motels so that industry (oil +gas) workers know what to expect from our motels.

What are your long term goals?To have our motels blanket central and northern Alberta within the next two years.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?Jan 4,2008

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audienceMostly construction and crew guys who are looking for a quiet home like environment to stay in long term

Who would you like to add to your audience?We would like to attract the larger oil and gas companies

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?We need to use the logo on our motel signs and on staff clothing.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)No but the colors need to be clearly visible from the roadways.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?We want the motel logo to reflect a home like environment and also that we cater to the working guy

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?That we care about service

What is your tagline or slogan?We don't have one but would consider one if antone thought of it.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?That our motels are clean,quiet and well run. Also that they are very homey

Where will your new logo be used?On our signs primarily

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?We don't have any real competitors. Most of the small motels are family run and can't provide consistent service across the province.

List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?We have many locations throughout the province

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:Home away from home

Here's a look from me. The graphic includes the initials which create a person with open arms and mountains.

The designs need to be very visible and easy to read when looking from the street. We need something that will catch the eye quickly. Some of the designs are very cool but I think that they might be confusing when viewed very quickly. Do any of the designers have any suggestions to make the designs more visible?

I like the latest designs the best however can the "Alberta's Industry Motels" be moved to the bottom of the logo. Also we are trying to project the image of very clean/comfortable/budget motel rooms. Is there any way to incorporate that into the logo?

Suzanne,
Thank you for the feedback. We are required to do communication through the forum until a design is chosen. Then we can discuss through private message.
Again thank you.

We love this, can we have the AIM darker and take off one layer of mountains....very cool. Alberta's industry motels maybe a little less noticable, cant wait to see it.

Thanks

Can you please reference the designer name and version number or the post number so the designers will know which concept you'd like revised?

Thanks!

We have decided to award the design to logo #24. We have a few minor changes that we would like. We want the bed in 20 to be put into logo 24 instead of a solid building. Thanks to everyone who submitted a design. In the end we decided to go with a simple logo.
Thanks Again,
Suzanne
