#2 - We help you to sustainably improve your overall profitability
#3 - We have supported other conmpanies before, now we would like to enable your success

Color Preferences
Dark red (99,8,0) White (255,255,255) Grey (162,151,137)
Our Ideas and Additional Information:
1) You could play with the following elements as they are closely connected to our Complexity Management projects: A maze (to visualize business complexity and how it is proactively managed and optimized by us), "total value chain", "change the mindset of the organization", "transparency" and "sustainability". This is not a necessity, but you could play with these elements.
2) "Complexity Management" could become a sub-brand of A.T. Kearney. You could therefore try to include the main logo of A.T. Kearney (http://www.atkearney.com/) into the new "Complexity Management" Logo. But please also provide "stand-alone" complexity management logos.

Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
looking at the current designs I just had another idea which could look great and represent our idea of interdisciplinary complexity management in a great way:
During our projects we normally optimize the business performance of our client along the "total value chain", which means we not only optimize complexity in one area/department (e.g. in the R&D department, --> develop less complex products because the additional costly complexity is not paid by the customers) but as a whole along the entire value chain of an organization (development -> production -> marketing/sales -> after sales). Now the icon for a "total value chain" in business is often represented by a bunch of symbolic arrows (see http://www-eng.tp.edu.sg/operating_model.jpg as an arbitrary example). Now you could try to
a) Create an icon next to the words "complexity management" consisting of the vertical value chain symbols/arrows. b) Move the arrows horizontally below the words "complexity management"
In that case, with the arrows becoming a main element of the logo, they also have to look a bit more "sexy". To do so you could maybe play a bit with 3d effects for the arrows/symbols.
thanks for your submissions and your request to give more feedback. Unfortunately I was without a PC in the past two days. ;) (yes, this does happen sometimes ;).
I'll try to give more feedback in the next few days.
thanks a lot for your submissions so far! Most of them were really great and far above what we have expected when we opened this contest.
Unfortunately I won't be able to give you any feedback from Friday 6 pm CET on until Sunday 6 pm CET. So in case you require some feedback please send in your drafts until Friday afternoon.
We'll decide on the final logo on Monday and Tuesday.
