Dear 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.
Best regards and thanks a lot in advance,
Daedalus
