Logo Design Brief

What We Do
We help job growth and economic development in Central and Upstate New York by investing in early stage high growth startup companies - our investments are in the form of services (assistance and advice from experienced entrepreneurs) and capital (first money in seed capital).
Industry
Non-Profit
Color Preferences
Feelings we'd like to avoid would be anger, hastiness, impulsiveness; on the other end, nothing too cold or unfeeling. This probably means avoiding hard reds or blues; green probably feels about right; but we are open to ideas and creativity... we believe that it's a combination of colors, shapes, fonts, etc that evokes feelings so we wouldn't want these to be hard prohibitions.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
We will be an affiliate of JumpStart: http://www.jumpstartinc.org/ - and, possibly, the Startup America Partnership. http://www.startupamericapartnership.org/ We would want our stuff to fit in well with theirs (if it were to be printed together, for example). Geographically we are 27 counties in Central and Western New York (see attached picture) - if there is a way to represent the state, or the region that we cover, that may be an interesting design opportunity. Or a more stylized image of the state?

In looking at the initial entries I thought it might be helpful to add this:

What we are:

21st century
Fast moving
Entrepreneurial
Helpful
High impact
Professional
Serious
Responsible (and responsive)
Not stuck in the past

What we are not:

Bureaucratic
Slow-moving
Frivolous
Unresponsive
Old

So it's a tough balance - new, but not too new; serious and professional yet not stodgy. Thanks everyone for your submissions so far - we'll iterate to the right solution I'm sure!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say first off that we really appreciate all the interest and your submissions! In terms of process - there's one person running the effort, but the ultimate decisions will be made by a group. The initial rankings here are of that one person (me) but I fully expect that I might get overruled. I will be doing my best to collect and apply feedback from the whole team as we move forward... this may mean that some rankings may change absent other factors. Just wanted you all to know where we were coming from (and that I am not losing my mind)!

Thanks!
