WikiClaims will be the first medical claims wiki (a web page editable by anyone). For medical billers, there is no single place to go to get help, share info and learn about all the crazy details involved in medical billing. WikiClaims will be a place to share information.

Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
WikiClaims

What type of product or service do you offer?
WikiClaims is an information website that is editable by anyone.

How long have you been in business?
WikiClaims is brand new.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
We want it to be memorable and not too conservative. We want to have a little fun with this. With the word Wiki in your title, how serious can it be :-) Not too crazy though, we still need to be taken seriously.

What are your long term goals?
We hope that WikiClaims will become a primary community resource for medical billers.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
We will look at entries all the way up until the deadline.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Our primary audience is medical billing professionals. Our secondary audience are doctors or nurses running a solo practice an doing their billing themselves.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Something memorable and fun but not too crazy. Ideally we would like an icon or illustration with the text. We are open to the creativity of the designers.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
No color preferences but would prefer brighter tones versus darker tones....dark tones tend to feel more heavy and conservative. We want to provide a little contrast to the boring/tedious nature of medical billing.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
The word Wiki comes from Hawaii so that could be incorporated please don't overdo this theme....it would need to be subtle. We would like to get across the idea of sharing/collaborating - the logo for www.wikipedia.org does a great job communicating this.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
We are here to help and bring the medical billing community together.

What is your tagline or slogan?

None yet.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
We are here to help. Join in the fun.

Where will your new logo be used?
Only on the web site to begin with.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
No Competitors that we know of.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Alternative to mainstream medical billing information providers. We are going to provide info for free that most people try to charge for and we are going to ask the community to all contribute info so we can build the most comprehensive resource as well.

For other wiki site logos go to:
http://www.wikipedia.org
At the bottom of the page are a bunch of sister wikipedia projects.

We like the Wikipedia logo best also like the wikiquotes, commons and meta-wiki logo also. Would like our logo to be a bit more wild/fun though....

Thanks,

Ethan

Pracus:

Thanks for getting this started. You generated a lot of ideas. We like A, E, F, & G. Have a few comments on each:

A - We like the snake around the W but don't really like the tail on the S. It feels a bit like a devil tail...which gives it a negative feel more than fun. Could you give it a more positive feel?

E - We like E the best of your submissions. It gets across the idea of lots of contributors and it is kind of fun and different. Not crazy about the colors though. Also, the big red cross feels a bit out of place because all the other crosses are more randomely disbursed. Can you try it with all of the crosses randomely disbursed and with some different colors?

F - We like this one although it is a bit more conservative. No comments at this point.

G - We like this one also. Worried that the hands get hard to see a bit without the full color and as you size it down.

Thanks again!

Anyone else have ideas?

Pracus:
Thanks for all the alterations. Here are my comments:

A2: We like this one better. Is there a way to add a smile to the snake?

A3: I think the font on this one feels a little too busy. We like the font on A2 better. However, it would be great to see the snake on the L with the font from A2.

E2: Like this version best for this idea. No further comments at this point.

H: This version is interesting. It is very solid feeling but we like the crosses coming out of that red box. Can we try the same grey with red on version E2 as well?

I & J: Not crazy about these two versions. A little too plain compared to the other variations.

G: I think we liked the hands better in the original version. I know you were trying to address our concern with them being hard to see. Not sure what to do with this version. We like everything but the hands.

Paula23:

Thanks for the submission. We like the concept of the wing but it feels like it feels like it is obscuring the cross rather than giving the feeling of movement. What is the wing was attached to the cross somehow? Or maybe you could incorporate the with into the text somehow? Also, the Wiki & Claims should be more like one word....not so spaced apart.

Thanks again,

Ethan

Hi All,

Thanks for all of the submissions. There were some great alternatives. Sorry for my absence.

We've decided to go with Version G from Pracus.

Thanks Again for all of your work,

Pracus,

We like Version G as is. How do I arrange for you to send me the files?

Thanks,

Pracus,

I grabbed the files but I think there was some confusion. I meant that we liked the original version of G....with the hands that were identical. Please send us those originals rather than the revision of G. Sorry, I thought the revision to G had a different letter.

Thanks,

Ethan
