Hi Svetlana, first designs and name. I've used the name I-Core or iCore Consulting. The i stands for intelligence, integrity and insight - all values that you hold at the 'core' of your company. The name also has an eastern european feel to it. I've set these first designs in the consructivism style you said you'd like to see. I think these look really professional and make your company reliable and trustworthy. I've checked the internet and although there are icore companies out there, there doesn't seem to be any icore consulting and all the other companies are technology/web companies so none are in your field of business. Also The web domain www.icore-consulting.com is available. Let me know what you think - if you like the name, if you'd like to see the logo in any other styles any other colors etc. Speak soon BMF.
oh yeah baby! finally something really cool - i like the name and love the graphic that goes with it. can you try reversing "R" in #120 (as you did in other ones). i also really like the 'signature' (slogan) - is there a way to incorporate that into the 1st logo without crowding it? many thanks - it looks like i am finally moving somewhere with this! :) i am running out now - but will take a look tonight again and come up with more detailed feedback. feel free suggesting any other randition based on the theme. many thanks again! svetlana
hi there - ok, so having thought about it some more. i like the 120 the most but having sat on it for couple hours, do you think i-somethng sounds like 'internet' more than anything else (like innovation,insight, etc.). i like the look of that logo (and it is very cool how the name - core - hits at the core of the circle whereby creating an interplay of logo and the name), but once again, the 'i' part of the name makes it a bit less about my business (which is not really internet based). while concieving of this have you thought of any other names? svetlana
Hi, never thought about it like that - I suppose the way round it would be to take away the dash and run it as one word - icore. I did have other names, but when researching them on google they were already taken, so I'll need to have another think. The thing is that I really like the thought behind this name - what it represents. I think it sums your company up really well. there may be a slight variation I could use for the name still keeping the core word in it, leave it with me and I'll have a think about this and try some alternatives.
I take it the style of the logo is working for you though with the constructivism look and feel?
Hi Svetlana, second name based on the original but changed slightly - I actually think this may be better than the first as it has even more reasoning behind it. TRICORE or TRI CORE Consulting. This still uses the same idea of the three words Integrity, Intelligence and Insight, but uses the word tri to represent three. Tri also has the letter i in it - So put together it represents 3 x i. Not sure where your eastern european routes derive from but Tri is also the way three is pronounced in Russian (according to the site I found on the web). So it has an added little bonus to the name. Again, like before, there are a couple of other companies out there call Tricore, but they aren't in your field of work - also tricore-consulting.com is available as a web domain. Let me know what you think - I think it works well as a name and a strong rationale behind it which gives you a talking point for customers etc. Speak soon BMF
Hi Svetlana, I came across a small company called Tricore Consulting on google, so here are a couple of alternatives instead - these don't seem to show up any hits on google and again the domains tricore-associates.com & tricore-research.com or tricore-rc.com are all available. Speak soon BMF
Hi Svetlana, more concepts attached. New name this time. Strategiiic. Unique spelling of the word - the word itself sums up what you offer and is a really strong powerful word to be associated with. The concept of the three i's from the previous name is carried through here (these words are great, which is why i keep using them). The icon is a lightbulb which represents idea's, strategies, clever thinking and creativity - all things you say your company is about so it works really well. The constructivism style also carries on really well with this name, with the rays of light coming from the bulb containing the name and tagline. Again, I think this design is really strong and would work really well for you and the name is a great twist on a common word. Also the url strategiiic.com is available. Hope you like it. Let me know if you'd like any changes. Thanks BMF.
hi there. let me challenge you here a bit - overall i like your ideas a lot and you are giving me basically what i have asked for... however the style is beginning to feel a bit 'heavy-handed'... additionally the name like stragegiiic is not easy to pronounce... if you were to begin from scratch here and think out of the box so to speak, would you have any additional ideas? think business, smart, nimble... what do you think?
Hi Svetlana, will need to have a think about this - problem I was having was that all the words I could think of to associate with you were already taken with other businesses. As explained at the start i wanted to come up with a name that wasn't just random or made up by two words stuck together that didn't really sound right. I was thinking you would just pronounce the name as strategic (just normally, the way it sounds) it was the visual look of the name that's different with the spelling.
Are you wanting to move away from the constructivism style then? Would you rather something more modern and minimalist?
Will see what I can come up with and post new designs over the next day.
Hi Svetlana, did you close the tournament early? I thought there was still a day or so to go. I'm still thinking about different names for you, so will post some designs over the next day - is that OK?
Hi Svetlana, first entry. I've created an excenter diagram which flows off the dot in the i. The triangle creates an arrow pointing forward, suggesting the services you provide are the way forward for your client's companies. Used the grey and orange colors as requested. This one uses a classic serif font style, I'll upload some variations using different fonts and colorings. Hope you like. BMF
Hi Svetlana, I noticed you've added the i-core logo back into the rankings. Do you want me to re-set this using the new grey and orange colors and sitting with the new name?
Have taken the i-core one you have reactivated and used the new name and colors. Let me know if there's anything you'd like changed with this or the other designs submitted yesterday.
i there - you guessed it right, i wanted to see how the i-core idea would look with the new name - like your other logos much more than this... sorry for wasting your time with this idea
so now back to the rest of the logos. generally would prefer a bit more 'graphic' logo - more prominent symbol, not that subtle. perhaps may play off 168, 181 (more prominent X) or another way to represent a center and have a circle symbol incorporated somehow in the backgorund. the other ones are too subtle to understand as symbol of an arrow or a triangle...
Another few options. This time using circles moving forward into the distance - suggesting the way forward and the circles represent data. The centre point of the first circle is positioned at the excenter of the triangle in the x. Also included an alternative with a check mark in the design too to suggest achievement and doing a good job for your clients.
hi there! sorry to have been out of touch - a bit overwhelmed with entrie.
in terms of your entries wondering if we could try couple suggestions - the circles going forward - not sure if i love the idea - also does not go very well with the meaning of the name (google EXCENTER - see if you get inspired on combination of circle and triangle) - re dots as data bits - i am sorry i were not clear. to look like 'data bits' these literally need to be the same size - go in rows (like a matrix). imagine a 'game of 15' (which is four rows of four dots) and make them varying colors (to represent filled in and empty spaces - say, orange and black or orange and grey) - this would also be rememebcent of Morse code (data -
hi there! i like your ideas. thanks a lot for coming back with these. like the 3d but also wonder how would the idea look with 2d - and also in orange / grey coloring. would love for you to take a stab. contest is over in couple hours or so i believe. many thanks!
Hi Svetlana, thanks for coming back to me. New versions attached. 2D and grey/orange option. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. Thanks. BMF
this is good. only an hour or so left in the tournament. i think i will chill for now and then work with top 10 designers to finalize submissions / make a pick. many many thanks for all your help and fantastic ideas! svetlana
OK no probs. Just remember if you want a designer to upload new designs during judging mode you just need to make them first place. You can move them from this position and replace with another designer until you find the design you are most happy with.
