PatraOneLogo Design Contest

Thank you for your early submissions. Not to cloud any design concepts but if you want to visit our website, you can see how the company is currently positioned (www.patracorp.com). It is very stark and dark. While Red and Black are the core colors, I'd like to weave in another color so we are not so harsh. PatraOne is a database that powers everything we do but it isn't something you buy. It is what our products are built on top of. Hope that helps

Some designs are coming in with the E as 3 lines - cool idea but when I pull back, it then read from a far like PatraOn so I think visually that won't work. I like the idea of a cloud, perhaps a visual where the entire PatraOne is inside the cloud? Not sure if that will look good but maybe. Like Box.com is inside a box or Salesforce is inside a Cloud. Just a thought. Some really nice ideas out there

Thank you for all that have contributed. One idea that is coming up a lot is the P and 1 as a separate icon or aspect. While interesting, that will cause us to rebrand the P1 or 1P so I am going to remove all where there is a separate P1 or 1P because I'd like to keep in the focus on the two words PatraOne. Also - our core website and branding is dark so when possible, a reverse color backdrop will allow us to see the log as we would on our powerpoints or website. If you look at the footer of our website: www.patracorp.com - you will see what I am talking about. Not all usage is on black backdrop but sometimes it is. Thanks again all

Pardon the delay over the last 48 hours, it was the weekend and I was away. nice work
