What We Do
"Dealmakers" is a series of annual summits/conferences that brings together executive business leaders and decision makers, and facilitates business introductions and meetings, in order to generate deals and partnerships between those audience members/attendees. The summits include Israel Dealmakers Summit, Media Tech Summit, CIO Summit and some smaller events. We are looking for a “master/house” brand logo mark for “Dealmakers” as an annual events platform (the parent), and then the ability to refine it for each sub “product/event” (the children) – so a Dealmakers mark but a “Media Tech” or “Israel” tag-on version (sub-brand name underneath, on the side, etc. – looking for your thoughts on the brand extensions/children). Similar to the parent/child family of brand marks here: http://cdosummit.com/ .

Our Ideas & Additional Information
Logos we like:
• https://www.absolute.com/en
• At top of page, new MetLife logo mark, but especially the typeface: https://www.metlife.com/
• Everything here: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2010/09/30-great-logos-with-smart-concepts/
• https://www.google.com/search?q=techonomy&espv=2&biw=1242&bih=606&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoA2oVChMIgo7Gx6K8yAIVg3A-Ch3e5wdp
Description:
• Clean, simple, modern and professional. Iconic. Easy to recognize from afar.
• Used for events, so need to be very malleable – easy to use on different signage, sizes, online, print, etc.
• An effective logo that can be easy to modify, likely by use of color, to designate different sub brands (sub events). An example is what GigaOm has for their events:https://www.google.com/search?q=techonomy&espv=2&biw=1242&bih=606&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoA2oVChMIgo7Gx6K8yAIVg3A-Ch3e5wdp#tbm=isch&q=gigaom+events+logo
Bonus:
• Would be nice if it connects to our current Landmark logo somehow, but not mandatory (www.landmarkventures.com)
• Incorporates some of the same font, or style, or otherwise has enough similar to be related – and enough different to be distinct.
Design:
• Can be a wordmark, but since Dealmakers is fairly long so it doesn’t have to be.
• Can be a logo, and then use of the word in a suitable font (ex. our current Landmark logo has 2 parts – the logo, and the words).
• Nice if the logo somehow reminds the viewer of the purpose of the brand – to connect people, to facilitate introductions and meetings, to do deals.
• I’d be open to an abstract logo, or one that potentially connects the DM (intertwines them) in which case DM becomes the shorthand for DealMakers (vs. Dealmakers).
