Scale Up MarketingLogo Design Contest

here's my concept utilizing a mountain shape for the "A." The blue/green combination not only represents growth, but nature as well.

Really like this design, it looks really cool and gets the point across. I'd like to emphasize the up part a little more and maybe add something that shows we are helping them up.

I've got a few ideas and will try and repost as soon as I have something. I've got one that I think will be a clever way to incorporate the slogan into the design. I'll also try to show you a simplified design as well.

A quick question for you. Are you still leaning towards the web 2.0 look or something more basic?

Thanks for your input.

I think it really depends, but I like the Web 2.0 look. As you can see by the ranking - we are not completely stuck on the web 2.0 type of logo. I hope that helps.

here's a new revision. I've added the tagline. A subtle play with the color and placement it can be read to be "marketing up your business" Also I modified the inside of the mountain shape to be an arrow that's directly above the word up

#61 looks good. Not sure about the up arrow. Is it possible to make a black or white silhouette figure climbing the mountain go in place of the arrow? He could be reaching for the top!

Will do. I'll try to put something up soon.

We like the little bit of added boldness in entry #12. We love the new design with the guy in #62. We just want to play around with the positioning of the words a little bit and see how it looks - Maybe create a space between 'Scale' & 'Up' or put 'Up above 'Scale' or make 'Up' vertical. These are just ideas so we can make sure we get our logo just right.

We were also thinking that this logo design is nice because it has a 'Google' logo feel. We could change the image in the mountain depending on our customer or the industry we are targeting. For example, if we are targeting the medical marijuana industry we could put a marijuana leaf in the mountain, or a winged cross with a snake (the medical symbol) for doctors.

Thanks for the input. I'll take a look at working up some of your suggestions and post something again soon.

Just another thought, for business cards and other situations the logo might be pretty small and it could be hard to see the guy climbing in the A. If you could find a way to make the A bigger it might be better.

bolder outline, larger mountain "A" and climber with space between scale and up

angled design to suggest upward movement

elevated "up"

stacked design allows for larger climber icon that's going off the word "up" and onto the "A"

Just another variation that might be cool, keep the Marketing Up Your Business completely horizontal, but have Scale Up angled upwards. Maybe then just the A could be bigger than the other letters so the climber could be bigger. I'm not sure, but if you think that would look good, please give it a shot

here's a look at the angled mixed with straight and a larger "A" mountain

back to straight with a larger "A" and splitting the "marketing" and "up your business" lines
