Hi Alex,
Many thanks for the invite - Hope your having a good week so far?
Here are some of my concepts. I've gone for something that's fairly clean and simple, yet striking. Creating an icon that works well within the logo or as a stand alone element, one that can be used for things like favicons or watermarks.
With #79, #80, #81 and #82 they all play off using directions arrows (or a simplified version of your arrow used in the old logo) to create a letter "b" for bing.
With #83 and #84 again I used the arrow but used the outlines and connected them i.e. all bits of data / post / info coming together and travelling from one to another but at the core (the central dot) is Bing controlling it all.
And finally with #85 and #86 its 2 lower case letter "b's" joined together. If you remove the very bottom right section of the right teal panel you have 1 b. The second has been rotated 180ยบ.
Hope that made sense :)
The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed,
It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say.
I look forward to your comments or thoughts.
Regards,
Angus
