What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Biblioflip -- this is the product/software name. No other words are necessary in the logo. I would like an illustrative icon along with the text. I need the icon to also be standalone so it can be used to brand the software, but I'd like to also have the logo include the icon with the name for the website and other branding.

What type of product or service do you offer?
This is a standalone cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) desktop software application that manages a user's electronic book collection (e.g. PDF, CHM, other formats). From a functional perspective it is like iTunes for books, in that it can import, search, sort, manage, and present you different views of the books you own.

How long have you been in business?
Not in business yet. In active development.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
I want a good brand/identity with the logo that will help give the user a pleasant visual experience when they install and use the software, and view the website.

What are your long term goals?
My long term goals are to build the best product possible, and do my best as a micro-ISV to market it and see if the market likes it. I think they will. There are some very unique features to this software that do things nothing else out there does right now. It is designed to be dead-simple from a usability point of view, and freakishly useful, so you'll be hooked as soon as you see a simple YouTube demo of it in action.

I hope to launch alpha in a few months..beta Q1 of next year.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
Oct. 15th would be great.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
My existing audience includes anyone that consumes a large amount of eBooks -- non-DRM eBooks (i.e. not those bought from the itunes store). eBooks can be purchased from Amazon.com, or often just directly from the publisher (e.g. O'Reilly, Manning, etc.). I'm an avid tech book reader myself, but the software doesn't care about the content of the books necessarily. This type of user can quickly build up a large collection of random files that are spread around, named inconsistently and hard to find and manage. They would be drawn to this software b/c it is as simple as drag-n-drop into the application, and all of their books can be managed, searchable, organized by metadata (which is dynamically discovered), and read at their convenience.

Who would you like to add to your audience?
Anyone right now, since I haven't launched yet :)

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Something fun...not necessarily just a series of abstract geometries. Perhaps incorporate a book? I'm not a good designer, so it is hard for me to limit it too much.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
No

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
No "definite" images or icons. Something with a book might be apt, but I can be convinced otherwise.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
Why Biblioflip? It is unique (for Google searches). I could afford the domain, and it rolls off the tongue...kind of fun to say. I originally considered Airbook, but that is taken, and there is a trademark on it. Biblio- library, flip...just b/c it is a fun ending...and also the software should make viewing your library quick and easy, and fun.

What is your tagline or slogan?
I don't have one right now.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
The software is a fun way to view and manage your own private eLibrary.

Where will your new logo be used?
It will be used to badge the software (i.e. installer, window icon, desktop icon, etc.). It will also be used on the website.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
There aren't a lot of competitors. There is a very nice open source package called Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/. I like calibre, but it doesn't do all the things I wanted it to do, and the maintainer didn't seem all that interested integration of many of the new features I was interested in, so I decided to build my own. I'm not crazy about the logo for calibre or the website design at all.

Here's another competitor: http://www.collectorz.com/book/, they offer a suite of products built on the same core feature set for managing books, comics, records, etc. The logo and website design here are awful.

List competitive URLs if possible
http://calibre-ebook.com/
http://www.collectorz.com/book/

What sets you apart from your competitors?
Biblioflip is designed for an awesome UX. Most of these applications are just tons of forms that are painful to fill out and take for ever, ugly, and hard to use. The navigation is usually some huge tree view of your collection. Importing your books means you can point it to a directory or drag-n-drop, but then you have to fill out all the metadata (title, author, etc.). Biblioflip figures that metadata dynamically for you by scanning the actual contents of the file itself, and then searching for the information on the Internet -- nothing else does this. Biblioflip will also index the contents of all your books so it is fully searchable. Biblioflip is also cross-platform, so it will work on Mac/Linux/Windows.


Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Biblioflip = your personal librarian -- who does the most awesome librarian tasks ever and you would never, ever consider anyone else b/c that would just be silly. ]]> Logos zenocon http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20305 <![CDATA[[Due Sept 15] Logo for Construction company, $150 offer]]> http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20304&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:48:19 GMT (Admin code added by Palmer - 9DD78853C9197481A, 6MY74472CM2077420)

Company name: J-Ray construction

My company is a one person construction company that focuses on small remodel jobs and the occasional house. I'm looking to expand a bit, and i need a logo so i can start advertising. I'm not too familiar with this site, so please be patient with me!

I'm looking for a logo with just the company name in it, J-Ray Construction. I'm hoping that just the the lettering will serve my purpose. I don't think it needs to have any pictures or other items in the design, but I've got a picture in my mind of the tops of the "J" and the "R" to be incorporated into a roof line. I have no idea if that would be possible or not.

I'd like the colors to be red and blue, outlined in black. this has always been my color scheme that I've pictured in my mind. The word that comes to mind when i think of the font is "jagged." I'd like the lettering bold and somewhat irregular, but easy to read at the same time.

I'd like to get this done as soon as I can since I'm waiting on this to get my advertising going. thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out!

We are a NON-PROFIT organization.

What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
 Focus 2011
education * success * community

This is a logo/concept that will be used for our 2011 convention but that we hope to be able to use each year for the February convention, swapping out the yea4

How long have you been in business?
The convention has been around for at least 30 or 40 years but we want something fresh and exciting that reflects current trends in photography.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
We want something that we can use for branding our annual convention and that can be used year after year. It needs to have a photography feel to it.

New branding that will make all marketing for our event readily identifiable by our members.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Would like the word FOCUS to be the main focus of the logo and would like the year to be in a font that we can purchase and update each year. The words underneath need to be smaller--perhaps in a avant-garde font style, lowercase. Graphic elements that we can pull into our marketing pieces would be nice.

Greens, aquas, blues, browns--Oregon/ocean colors

Something unique, adult, professional, clean, classic and an immediate eye-catcher. My clientele expect excellence and professionalism so my logo needs to portray those qualities.

I'm pretty open but nothing too busy.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?

- I want an icon of some sort that I can use separately as a proof stamp.

Hi All, I am new to this site, but our Worship Pastor directed me here because you did such a great job on a logo for him!!

I am the children's director for FBC Farmington and we are launching a brand new Preteen program for our 5th & 6th grade students. The name of the room we are using has been assigned as, "the Locker Room". The colors of the walls are black, cardinal red and gray. We have decorated acoustic panels in a funky graffitti with gray, white & black as well as a black suade leather & gray crushed velvet. There are 10 panels total going around the room. We also have actual lockers as decorations and a stage for the band.

I want something totally out of the box that I can paint on the wall, print on a t-shirt & use in our monthly newsletters. I would like to see the cross incorporated some how and maybe even a picture of a locker.

I am looking to you as the artist to help me tie this kickoff together and create a unique & exciting look for the kids!!

Can't wait to see what you all come up with!! We are kicking off Sept 1st, that's this Wednesday!!

Project Summary
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Unique Exposure Photography

What type of product or service do you offer?
For now the focus is on real estate photography. Realtors will hire us to take professional photos of homes and the photos will be posted in the MLS listing.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
A clean, simple logo that can be utilized on various media (web, business cards, stationary) that can be adapted to various photography disciplines. Most importantly, the logo will help define the business and get us started in creating our identity.

What are your long term goals?
The main long term goal is to build relationships with realtors so they continually request our service to take photos of the homes they are selling. The business will be focused on real estate photography, however in the long term the business could expand to other photography disciplines. Although it isn't 100% necessary, a long term goal for the logo itself would be to design it in such a way where today it symbolizes real estate photography, but very small changes can be made down the road to symbolize other areas of photography while maintaining the base overall feel for the logo/company.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Audience Profile:
Who would you like to add to your audience?
Initially we will target For Sale By Owner Sellers and Realtors. Due to the economy and housing market, I see the business catering to realtors that sell a lot of homes and are too busy to take their own photographs, instead of the realtor that has 3-4 listings. The business might also specifically target realtors that consistently have higher-priced homes for sale.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Clean, Simple, Modern. The business as well as the employees are young, so it should look fresh and new.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Not particularly. Possibly yellow as it is said to evoke a buying emotion and people are urged to use yellow flowers, etc when preparing their house for sale. Using yellow could be a way to link the photography business to real estate, however I am not sure of the ramifications of using yellow on various types of media. I am very open to another color, but would like to keep additional colors to a minimum. One, maybe two colors. They can be bold and fun.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
With this business the first idea that pops in mind is a camera and a house. Any portion of a camera and any portion of a house would be acceptable, as long as it's clear what the object is. As stated in the long term goal above, this is where the logo could adapt to various disciplines by continuing the camera theme and changing the discipline portion (the house in this case).

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
Professional, clean, prompt, great customer service.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
Professional photos are an important part of the real estate business and with great photos, potential home buyers are more inclined to come visit the home. Maximum amount of traffic being drawn to the home due to great photos increases the probability of selling the home quickly.

Where will your new logo be used?
Web, business cards, stationary, watermark over photos.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
Here are two competitor logos. The logos lack the professionalism I am looking for.





What sets you apart from your competitors?
Customer service. Small company, few employees, so it's a very direct relationship with clients.
Instead of offering virtual tours to impress clients, our company offers professional photos that show a clear picture of what the home has to offer to potential buyers. We take our time to get professional photographs, instead of shooting as fast as possible to get in and out.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Customer-oriented professional real estate photography.

Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
We're are really open to design ideas - but we think we would love to see the letters EJP incorporated.

 What type of product or service do you offer?
Wedding & Portrait Photography

How long have you been in business?
5 Years

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
Fresh new look, awesome re-branding - maybe a more masculine look to our logo. Wanting to attract higher-end clients and stand apart from the "amateurs" with cameras.

 What are your long term goals?
To be a major brand recognition based on our design & photos. To be one of DFW, TX top wedding photographers.

 When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
We're flexible here - because we would like to see lots of different ideas from designers.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Potential bride's and existing portrait clients - ages 20-40

 Who would you like to add to your audience?
Perhaps the more higher-end clients

 Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Would love to see the letters EJP & a design perhaps more masculine...we are a husband & wife team, but Jake is the primary shooter and business manager...we named the business after my wife, therefore everyone attributes Erica Joyce (my wife) as being the whole business. We are known for being very affordable - but we are looking to extend into the higher-end clientele.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
We would like to incorporate a lot of black & whites, but would also like to add one other color (perhaps a dark teal, or blue/green).

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Maybe the letters EJP

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
undefined

What is your tagline or slogan?
none

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
professionalism - definitely not amateurish

Where will your new logo be used?
Website/Branding/Letterhead

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?

List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?
We are a husband & wife team that provides awesome photography services but at affordable rates - we really want to get away from being the "cheap guys"!
