What We Do

We take a modern approach to publishing marketable textbooks, both original manuscripts and anthologies, for professors in the higher-education academic space.

Color Preferences

Green - perhaps two tones, and perhaps a warm/cool combination.
Orange might be a nice complement, if the orange is a different value than the green.
There needs to be strong contrast to represent solidity, strength and an assurance of quality.

Our Ideas and Additional Information:

Although it's academic publishing, which can be stodgy and 'institutional', we want this to look progressive and fresh while still conveying assurance, quality and trust.

Here are some competitors to be aware of:

#6 - That's an interesting approach, but I'd prefer to have the graphics separated from the text. "ella" is a beautiful sound, and there can be some stylish, swooping play with the 'l's

#8 is STRONG. Cranberryblue - you're wonderful with all the choices. I like the experimentation with the others, but #8 is the leading contender. The book graphic is a bit more obvious, and less sophisticated that the organic Cog. #9 is also good, but I'm not sold on the orange color. You might want to try cooler tones as well - at first I thought orange would be a good complement, but I'm drifting away from that. Perhaps a clean, pale blue tone (?), not sure. These are great, however. Thank you very much.
