Hi all,
We are launching a web service called 'oddjob.com.au' which allows users to post listings of home maintenance/building/repair jobs. Tradespersons can then use the site to place quotes against jobs and the user can then choose a quote and enter into a business transaction with the selected tradesperson.
Please see some mockups of our site (with placeholder logo) at:
http://www.oddjob.com.au:9000/main.htm
http://www.oddjob.com.au:9000/listings.htm
Note 1: These pages are mockups, links on these pages will not work.
Note 2: These are under heavy development - we're just showing them to give you an idea of logo placement.
Thanks,
Joe
Please see our answers to the design assessment questions (answers in red):
Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
The words 'Oddjob.com.au'.
What type of product or service do you offer?
OddJob.com.au is a portal for people to post jobs for builders, tradesmen, maintenance workers, handymen, etc.
In turn, people in these industries/trades are able to issue quotes through the system and communicate with customers, etc.
How long have you been in business?
This is a new business, due to launch late Feb 2006.
What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
What are your long term goals?
Initially this business is targeted at the Australian market. In the future other markets may be addressed.
When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
The deadline is 17th of February, 2006. If this is unrealistic, we will extend.
Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
None - this is a new business.
Who would you like to add to your audience?
We are largely targeting the home maintenance/home repair/home renovation market in Australia. This is likely to include a
a wide range of people of all ages and backgrounds.
Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
We are open to different suggestions, however we would like the logo to be straightforward and free of complex
graphics. Something along the lines of Ebay/Google/Yahoo. Given our audience, it would be nice if the logo could have
a hint of 'playfulness' - ie: it shouldn't reflect a very formal corporate identity!
Our web site is still under development, but I am including some static links so designers can get some idea of
where the logo will sit. On the main page, a larger version of the logo will be visible somewhere toward the center
of the page. On all other pages, a smaller version of the logo will be visible in the upper left hand corner of the page.
Finally, the text of the logo needs to be clear - we don't want the artistic design of the logo to make the text
difficult to read in any way.
Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
We don't have colors in mind. Please do NOT let the colors on our web site sway your color decision too much as
we are not particularly artistically inclined and it is very likely those colors will change at some point.
Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
None.
Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
Our aim for the logo (and the site in general) is to appear relatively uncluttered and informal so that people
feel comfortable with our site.
What is your tagline or slogan?
Undecided.
What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
We just want people who see the logo to recognise it as ours.
Where will your new logo be used?
Primarily on our website: www.oddjob.com.au (not yet available). It will also appear in some print media so it needs to appear ok
in black and white.
