Double-iLogo Design Contest

@ all designers

#81, #1, #60, #4 & # 42 I like what I see, but I need you to capture for me:

Elegance, Trust, Strength without being to masculine.

Thats a tough contest , thought it might seem easy but its not, here are more creative concepts other then those existing ones.

Dazzle behave now

Stepmsza

is there a tagline that some of us do nto knowabout..#81 has tagline "Holdings"
please clarify so we are all on teh same page thanks

I was just speaking out my thoughts loud thats all Scott, if thats miss behaving, then i will keep it to myself next time.

Hi everyone,
I think dazzle is right. The three divisions I mentioned in the brief, they do belong to one "holding company" and now that you make me think about it, I don't mind the word "Holdings" under the main logo.
Then the 3 divisions will have eGOV (or eGovernment), import (or import-export) and Events (or Events Management) instead of the word "Holdings".
Does it make sense.
I updated www.double-i.co.za
Have a look.
Thanks everybody,
Steph

She has no idea what she wants which make it more difficult for us

If I had the logo in my mind I wouldn't be here, would I?
I know what I need for my business and this brainstorming serves the purpose of getting YOUR design close to MY business needs.
Clear now Orion?

@ alternatived you are feeling me.
What I need you to focus on is lettering of the "ii". If you look at the Chanel logo the lettering is strong elegant but feminine. Then you look at the Louis Vuitton logo it is also strong and elegant but the lettering is all masculine. I need feminine without being soft, think Chanel.

The "II" needs to strong enough to stand alone and be ID'ed, so the use of the circle is welcomed.

With all due respect, I understand what you mean, but you skept #119 (ok, arguable, but it's your choice) then, you kept #101 which I submitted just for fun, I mean, it looks like a swimming team. I can see it stithced on a gown :) LOL
OK, on top of that you ranked #129 as 5th when it has no dots. It's a nice design, no doubt, but you said you want 2 round dots. Is that still on?
Thanks, ciao

@ All Designers another hint for lettering if it will help at all. The one "i" stands for India and the other For Italy. Maybe try those type fonts? Oh and yes use the dots or it will look like the no.1 and not the letter i thanks for the kind reminder Sim1.

@ All Designers: try also lower-case "d" (double-i) to give more emphasis to the "i" rather than the "D"
Thanks

Everyone. I just highlight what I shared answering to some of you:
"I need something for big corporates and government.
It must be between "regal" and "minimal".
#152 is too complex but regal,
#211 is brilliant, modern but not classic enough.

Maybe I'm asking too much. I don't know.
I believe the right idea has still to come."

Thanks,

Steph
