Webdesign, house styles, pr & communication plans and (personal) coaching. Besides that I do many different communication projects.
NB: This year my company celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Top Three Things to Communicate
#1 - warm
#2 - personal
#3 - creative
Our Target Audience:
Small businesses in all kinds of industries.
Most of my current customers come from the health branche (psychologist, psychiatrists etc. ) but I also make websites for commercial businesses. Coaching is mainly for commercial businesses and universities. My logo should be general, not specific for a branche.
Color Preferences
My current colours are red and yellow. I want to change completely (new decade, new style) so use whatever colour you like! As long as they are warm colours.
My personal colour type is autumn. Hopefully that helps.
Our Ideas and Additional Information:
My last name is Zwaan, swan in English. Some entries have added a swan. I really like that, so let's keep the swan in. Make her abstract, not too literal.
See my current site www.absolu.nl for the way my logo is made now. The new logo should be completely different.
Absolu is french for absolute. Besides being a short name and meaning absolute, it has no further deeper meaning.

Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
NB: Ufotofu added a swan to the logo. My last name is Zwaan (swan in English). It does add something personal to my company name. It is not obligatory though.
Just thinking about an other option: can you guys think of a way to show that it is my 10th anniversary? Maybe an addition like: since 1999 or a big 10? Or is that too much?
I am very happy with what you have come up. Creative minds you have!
Please continue with the following remarks: - add: since 1999 (somewhere in the logo or the text lines) - if you do not use the (abstract) swan, use something else to give the name Absolu more body (like #36, but read the remarks I made for that entry) - the slogan is: communicatie & coaching - please also experiment with an emblem, I really like the versace one in the examples, can you go in that direction too?
Just to let you know....: Not interested does not mean I hate the entries...!!! it is just a way to make it easier to rank and for you guys to see what I like. Please read the feedback I give in your sections.
Thanks for all this creativity... amazing what you come up with!
I have made another ranking. There are some really good potentially interesting entries! Thank you for your creativity! Please read the feedback I have made.
I would love to see some web 2.0 try outs. I am really fond of the you tube logo. Could you guys dig deep in to your creative minds and see if you can make something like that? Don't hesitate...
Three days to go and you are getting better and better. Please throw me some more logos, I am really pleasantly surprised by your creativity and output.
I really like the sprint you are making at the final rounds of this contest. Keep em coming! I did another ranking. Please read the comments I put at your entries.
My preference of colour must be clear now. The sinds 1999 is not obligatory, but if it fits in to your design, you can put it there.
Dare to be different and see if you can really touch my identity (even without really knowing me...).
You are making more and more entries the last hours. So I have extended the contest with 5 more days to give the ones who entered recently the change to work on the feedback I will give.
usually designers start submitting a day before the deadline, the best contest is 4-5 days, with a lot of personal feedback, and guidelines...longer contest are not better.. That's my experience ....but let's hope this is not the case,as the CH is european, and the task is pretty sweet challange to all..., good luck :) Rudy
