Blue Badges LLCLogo Design Contest

#14 -- We like the design concept, but we are concerned that there could be a trademark problem with the Office logo. Perhaps you could do something that suggests,b ut does not copy, the Microsoft Office logo elements?

Roger that sir. Working on it.

A little modification to it.

Thank you for your feed back!

#40 is your best yet! Please lose the shadow, though. Something else there might be cool, but the shadow screams computer-designed.

Without the shadows.

Thank you for your feed back!

#43 -- Nice work on styling a suggestion of the Office logo. Have you considered tinting its elements a bit?

Ok, let me see how it works sir

#49 -- Do not abandon this concept just because we are not presently ranking it near the top. The graphical elements inside the gold box need some more thought. Also "Know How" could probably be quite a bit smaller. Our name is the main thing. You do not HAVE to include the slogan.

#41 and #50 -- We liked the "slanted" aspect of the "Office" graphic at first, but now when we look at it, it looks like a chicken with different-sized eyes! :-) That is one reason why we elevated #41. we also like the suggestion it makes of a separation of us from Microsoft, but continuing contact.

Please keep up the good work. We have our eye on you (and obviously one or two others).

Thanks!!

Great!

I will continue working on your company then, thank you so much for your feedback. Now that you mention it, I can see the Office thing too, hehehehe.

Question: Does your company work with other Microsoft apps, besides Office?

Modifying a little bit #50 , I used the squares and organized them in a different way and gave them colors.

Slight difference in proportion

Wanted to see how it looked without the slogan.

Just for the fun of it

#54 and #57 -- we just noticed the drop shadows on these. We are not keen on such things. To us, they say "computer art."

Got it, I will uploads these files right away

Without reflection.

Question: Does your company work with other Microsoft apps, besides Office?

Yes. Project Server is our bread and butter, but it sits on a platform of SQL Server and SharePoint. We sometimes hook it into other things as well.

Good to know it, because I think that is something we would like to communicate too. Thanks!

Playing a bit with the shape and arrangement of the squares. When you look close to it, it looks like a strange "b"...

#66 -- I'm not sure I buy the "strange b" thing, but I was hoping you would play with breaking up the "square of squares" and re-arranging it.

What bothers me about this one, as well as #68 , is that parts are missing. If one recognizes it as sugggestive of the Office logo, then one expects a four-square.

This is only my individual impression, however. I will ask my partners to look at it, too. I appreciate that you are coloring ourside the lines.

I can see your point, though what I wanted to express on those ones was the connection with Microsoft's solutions without arranging the square with the same layout and/or number of squares that they use, but suggesting it with colors.

Also, for example the concept behind the squares in #68 can drive recognition of the solutions towards color, the major color used in Office's identity is orange; the main color used in SQL's identity is red and gray (I got that data researching on Microsoft's website and looking at the identity of those products).

Anyways, I'll continue working towards an image that suit your needs :-)

Thank you very very much for your feed back, sir.

Yo no fui al ITLA, yo estudio publicidad en la UASD.

More or less a badge here. I'm using the squares symbol as the center of the badge.

Thanks!

#241 -- Could you try a version of this with words not so heavy? Maybe not all caps? Maybe something like #133 or #211 or #246

I will post the modifyed version in a sec.

Thanks!

As requested.

I really like #163...have you thought of using MS Office colors in the symbol and have the symbol be more BB in appearance?

I thought that maybe something with less gradients would look good as well... Here I have the mark that I've been using throughout the contest, with some arrangements.
