Project Summary:
We are looking to redesign our logo and take it to the next level. The name of the company is Findology (the current logo is on the website - www.findology.com).

When is the deadline?
March 1, 2006

What type of services do you offer?
Findology provides more than just a search engine. It provides many services for both online advertisers and publishers including pay-per-click, contextually targeted advertising, fraud protection services, and more (all services, however, are search related). The company is currently expanding its line of services and we would like to reflect the changes by starting with a revised logo to carry through the new marketing materials. More information as well as our current services are available on the About, Advertise, and Publisher pages of the website (www.findology.com).

As we rebrand ourselves, please note that the current site will be changing to de-emphasize the search engine and show more of the Advertiser and Publisher services.

Guidelines:
We are open to a complete redesign of the logo/name you see on the www.findology.com website, including color scheme, font, etc. We would like something clean, crisp and vibrant, possibly getting away from the 3-D look (it becomes difficult to maintain that style on small projects and items such as embroidered shirts). In a nutshell, we are looking to give our logo a facelift and modernize it.

The only things we would like to maintain are the following:

1. We would like to maintain the overlapping "O" and "D" in the word Findology.

2. We would like to keep a molecule as part of the design, but possibly incorporate it better with the name. We are not opposed to making it more subtle than it is currently.

3. It is very important that the logo look crisp, vibrant and legible at all sizes - we do many types of marketing from putting our logo on small pens, to embroidered on company shirts, to large convention booths as well as small online banners. As a result we will require the logo to be in EPS format with any Pantone colors noted.

As an example, on this webpage - http://www.ad-tech.com/exhibitors-sf.asp?subevent=5 - we are listed as a sponsor. You can see how some of the other logos stand out, such as the Vendare Media logo, the Datran logo, etc. You can also see how the current Findology logo on that page does not stand out. This is one of the issues we would like to address as we take our look and feel to the next level.

4. If a specific font is used in the name would like to be able to purchase it

5. Please note that for a section of the site we will be adding the words "Interactive Media" to the logo/name. Just something to keep in mind.

Thank you to everyone who has already submitted Findology logos!

I have some feedback for you:

1. djaka - We are actually looking to completely redesign the logo (the molecule) and we'd like to stay away from 3-D designs. Did you have any other concepts?

2. Ruairi - I like where you're going with this! I appreciate the minimal molecule concept because we have been considering making the molecule a more minimal aspect of the logo. I think you're on the right track. Do you have any alternate color schemes, and maybe something done a little differently with the circles?

3. eziey - I really like the molecule! My only comment at this point is to maybe see something with the molecule incorporated more into the word. This is very similar to the layout we have currently - logo set to the left; and the font is the same font we use for our tagline on the site.

4. vertlime - very nice colors! I like the more vibrant shades of green and blue. One thing to keep in mind is that we want to get away from people viewing us just a search engine, so the magnifying glass will not work. Also, I'd like to see some different fonts.

5. Titania - i like the vibrant colors here also! Although, I don't think it exudes the feeling of being a professional online media company. I'd like to see something more corporate.

6. gig - nice colors! I really like this concept! My only feedback is that I would like to see a couple font options. Overall, great work though!

7. Medigraph - nice color combo! I also like what you've done with the "d" and "o". My only suggestion is that I would like to see something with the molecule as more a part of the name on the version 1. I think version 2 will be difficult for us to use in all the forms of advertising and product design we do.


I will be reviewing the submissions thus far with a couple other people and may be posting some additional feedback later today and/or tomorrow.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you again for all your work!!

Hi all,
I have some feedback and revisions for a couple designers:

Castell - We really like the feel of this logo - the look is more corporate, the molecule is subtle. This is definitely the direction we are taking the company. A couple things we'd like to see:
- we would like maintain the overlapping "D" and "O" in the name
- we'd like to see a version with the molecule as part of the first "O"
- we would also like to see the molecule modified a little - we really like the subtle outline/brush stroke style, but something about the perspective, length of stems, etc. doesn't seem quite right.
- the molecule could even be a bit smaller/more subtle

Eziey - Thank you for your revisions. Of the four versions, we like the name and molecule in version 1 the best. We would like to see if you could take version 1 and incorporate the molecule smaller and more subtly into the first "O".


If anyone else would like to submit revisions or final versions - please keep in mind that we want a more conservative, corporate look and feel. We also want people to notice the name first, the molecule second.

Thanks again for everyone's work!!

Thanks once again to everyone who submitted logo designs! There were elements of all of them that we liked.

But we have decided to go with the first version submitted by Eziey.
