We prefer the logo to be on a white background. Usually, we have a space between the R G and C as "R G C Staffing Solutions". We do not mind it together, but would like to see designs that incorporate a half or full space between the R G and C. We are looking for something that looks polished. Think of the finishes of paint. Glossy vs Matte.

I found 2 examples of logos that interest us. Perhaps including a lightning bolt since we deal a lot with Electric Utilities, Contractors etc.

The above link shows a figure of a man holding a lightning bolt. Maybe the guy could look a bit different, maybe a silhouette or to look like one of the Linemen? Or a silhouette of a high voltage power line?

This second one is interesting as well.

Including the tagline/slogan would be nice as well, "Energize your career".

I will continue to post more information as we see other designs. Thanks!!

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ You, the Client, are very important! Your active participation is the single greatest factor influencing this contest. Active participation by you, the Client, helps you get the logo design you want!
~~ What's active participation? It's updating the brief with more information for Designers to work with as the contest progresses, providing feedback to Designers on their entries when they're submitted, and ranking designs at least once a day.
~~ When you provide feedback to Designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results!
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion.
~~ Rank designs at least once each day -- this will encourage Designers to submit more entries!
~~ Ranking prevents your contest from going idle! Active contests attract more Designers.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed. Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: http://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Please note: if you're asking for a design that will require several hours to create, to attract Designers willing to invest that amount of time the prize should be at least $400-$500. All "Character" style logos fall into this category.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested." We'd like to know what you don't want so we can give you the design you do want.
~~ The first phase of the contest is the "Open" phase, and everyone can submit during that time.
~~ After your contest's initial "Open" phase closes, it will enter the "Top 5" phase; only the top 5 ranked Designers will be able to submit revisions at that time.
~~ The "Top 5" Designers are the first 5 Designers in a contest, not the first 5 designs.
~~ When "Top 5" ends, the "Judging" phase begins. The Designer of the 1st place design will be the only Designer who can submit revisions at that time.

We like the way the R G C and the Staffing Solutions are beside each other, for example #12 and like the line that is separating it. We also like that the R G C looks bold. In #10 we like the way "Energize your career" is prominent.

#20 we like the highlight on the fist

We noticed that a lot of logos out there have a distinct font that makes it easy to know who the company is. We would like to see 1 of those styles as well if possible instead of a basic font.

We like the shade of green in #15 rather than the darker green of #5

Keep the great ideas coming! Like what we are seeing so far.

#40 we really like how the R G C Staffing Solutions and slogan line up and the layout of the words. Looks very square and clean.

Less than 24 hours to go until the top 5! Keep them coming everyone!!

You guys are making it really hard to narrow it down to only 5 designers!!!

If any of you want to submit your own completely original ideas for design and colours, feel free!! Use whatever you feel looks great!

1 hour to go!!! Looking great everyone and thanks for the submissions so far!! You are all awesome designers!

Okay so we are in to phase 2..what should I be doing for this stage? Giving more feedback to see revisions?

~~ When you provide feedback to Designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results! :)

Thanks! Gave the top 5 feedback. See what else we can come up with to get the greatest logo!!

Using the same colours: green, grey and black.

We'd like to see something that you think would best represent a job agency as if we supplied many different industries with workers, not just the electrical side. Think of something that looks clean, squared off, polished and professional and something that sticks in the mind. Maybe by using a really unique font, as many that are posted so far are pretty similar font wise.
