Background: We are working on a new web service that allows you to control your sprinkler system from the Internet. With a small subscription we will automatically adjust that controller based on the weather at your site.

Website: http://www.isprink.com

Details: We would like the logo to be primarily blue, somewhat simple, and modern. If you incorporate other colors I would prefer that you stick with the primary colors.

No.

We have done a complete rethink of our product. It will look and work nothing like what exists today.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
I'm not that creative. Maybe "new irrigation technology".

So far, I am not super excited about the "fountains". I like the more abstract symbol.

I'd really like to stick with primary colors, so a more true blue would be good, and yellow instead of orange, if you want to add more color.

I do like the concept of having the graphic in a box as that lends itself to a favicon and iPhone app icon, if we ever needed one.

I'd like to see what a little depth on the font looks like (e.g. Google's logo).

Thanks to everyone for their contributions!

We have decided to go with one of QuirkDesign's logos.

[QuirkDesign]

Thanks for choosing one of my designs! Which one?

[SendThisFile]

#10 with some minor revisions. Do we wait until this thread is moved to the revision forum to proceed?

[QuirkDesign]

I can start working on it now. What would you like changed?

[SendThisFile]

Primarily we would like to see a "thicker" font. We are happy with the symbol as is. Any way you could give us a few font choices? The font itself is pretty close to what we had in mind in terms of style, we just want it a bit more fat.

[QuirkDesign]

Let me know if one of these works for you.

I think the top one or bottom one looks good.

Let's go with the top one.

Will we be able to scale these in Photoshop 6.0? (I know it's old, but that's all I have access to at the moment).

[QuirkDesign]

Yes, you will be able to scale the logo in Photoshop. Go to File-->Open, select the EPS (vector) file, and choose the resolution you want.

I'll start working on your file package and I'll let you know when it's ready for you to download. Should be sometime today or tonight.

[SendThisFile]
