By employing socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable business practices, Fortis Wind Energy - U.S. sells, installs, and services top-quality turnkey small wind turbine systems.
(Fortis Wind Energy is the Dutch company that manufactures the turbines. Fortis Wind Energy - U.S. is our company which sells and installs the Dutch-made turbines in the U.S.
Since our name is quite long, for the purposes of the logo, we would like all submissions to include at least "Fortis Wind", but we will also consider submissions that also include "Fortis Wind Energy" as well as the full "Fortis Wind Energy - U.S."
Perhaps the "U.S." can be a softer side piece on the logo.)

Top Three Things to Communicate
#1 - Top quality, reliable
#2 - Complete service - full turnkey capability
#3 - Experienced, tried-and-true (NOT futuristic, newest, edgy)
Our Target Audience:
Small wind turbines appeal to a wide audience: With enough energy to power 1 - 5 homes, they are installed near large, rural homes, remote power outposts, certain agricultural applications, colleges, and companies of various sizes.
These turbines are 10 - 25 feet (3-7 meters) in diameter and are mounted on 100 - 200 foot (30-60 meter) towers. They must be simple and reliable because our customers are seeking energy independence.
Our target audience tends to be technically savvy, environmentally conscious, mid to upper income. Whether they are a homeowner or the facilities manager at a company or college, they are interested in making a statement about their views on renewable energy. These turbines can help them make that statement.
IMPORTANT REVISION -
Please see this link for pictures of turbines that we install. I would like to see some logo submissions that use a more realistic depiction of our actual turbine. Consider tail design, blade shape and angle, and relative tower height vs. blade length. Thank you! http://www.fortiswindenergy.com/recently-installed

Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
We don't want to look like a huge GE turbine. We want to look like our turbines. There are subtle differences in the shape of the blades. see ideas... http://www.fortiswindenergy.com/recently-installed If you are showing it 3D, it needs to include the tail. They turn clockwise and are singular installations... not big farms with more than one.
Lettering should be solid, dependable, reliable... They should NOT be futuristic, techy, new, or flashy Logo should look good big, small, printed in color, printed in black and white. I generally like simiple designs.
I am still eager to see more entries. One designer made a comment that "I had zeroed in on what I wanted" and that there was "no reason to submit more entries". I am NOT married to any of these designs and the contest is still wide open. NEW SUBMISSIONS ARE ENCOURAGED! Thanks!!!
Entry #60 has the most realistic depiction of one of our turbines. I would like to see more entries that use a realistic image/sketch. Check out http://www.fortiswindenergy.com/recently-installed and maybe try one with an Alize model or a Passaat. #60 uses the Montana model which has a very unique tail... a Passaat or an Alize would be easier to draw and more general. But I would still like to see the house represented too!
Thanks again to all the designers. I really enjoyed this process and apprecate everyone's efforts and suggestions. It was a very close race at the end and any of the top ten could have won.
If any of you need a wind turbine, please don't hesitate to look us up! best, alex
