amiLogo Design Contest

We are a well-established software company that delivers high-quality corporate software and services (enterprise portals and websites, system integration, document management systems etc).

Historically, the company's main colour has always been RED and we would like to keep it. It doesn’t have to be Pantone 485, you can play with different shades and combine them with other colours (no more than 3). We would like to see logos that also look great when "stripped" to one colour. Other than that, we are fairly flexible and open to your ideas. UPDATE: If you simply feel that red is not the right colour for your design (and for communicating our brand), please submit it with different colours. We'll be happy to evaluate it.

Although we deliver professional software, we are not a stiff company with shirts and ties. Therefore, we welcome anything original, fresh and offbeat. However, we are not big fans of logo reflections or too flashy gradients. Please use "ami" in lowercase letters. Our unofficial company claim is "We create software that is a pleasure to work with." (don't use it in your designs) UPDATE: After we've seen first 40 or so designs, we'd very much prefer if you could create more pictorial/abstract marks to go with the type. Our name is very short and any letter play, however innovative, simply doesn't look good and doesn't convey our company the way we would like to.
