Security Marketing ConsultantsLogo Design Contest

We like our current logo a lot BUT it does not fit into a lot of forms we need to use it in.

I am looking for both the company name and 3 letter Acronym SMC to be used. The big Swooshing S currently takes up too much room and makes everything else smaller in comparison thus making it hard to use on Website, Info Sheets and even a shirt. The shirt is not a big deal as its the smaller piece of us marketing ourselves.

I am looking for something that is not matte finish nor flat. I do like the shine and shadows on our current logo and this will not prevent us from still using in shirts etc.

Things we are looking for out of the winning design:

-Strong Presence
-Modern Fonts (both for company name and SMC Acronym)
-Something where the SMC can be used separate if need be on some items
-Something that does NOT have a lot of open white space which our current logo has
-Something that shows we are professional. High Tech and someone the customer would want to engage in.
-Though we sell all security related products, We are NOT looking for anything Security related items in the logo. No Locks, No Keys, No cameras, No alarms.
-Something Metallic looking not Matte.
-I attached our old logo which is purple and green. I do like the Space Age Font A Lot. but not sure yet if I want to revert back to that. But would be open to that incorporated into a newer design and layout. I do not like the oval. Something more rectangle but legible would be better.

I have used LT many times and many times I have rehired the winning designer for extra services and will most likely do so after this LT if the prices are fair.

Thanks to all entering designs.

I would like to see the company name on 3 lines stacked rather than 2 is the bottom line with two words would be too small to read clearly.

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ You, the Client, are very important! Your active participation is the single greatest factor influencing this contest. Active participation by you, the Client, helps you get the logo design you want!
~~ What's active participation? It's updating the brief with more information for Designers to work with as the contest progresses, providing feedback to Designers on their entries when they're submitted, and ranking designs at least once a day.
~~ When you provide feedback to Designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results!
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion.
~~ Rank designs at least once each day -- this will encourage Designers to submit more entries!
~~ Ranking prevents your contest from going idle! Active contests attract more Designers.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed. Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Please note: if you're asking for a design that will require several hours to create, to attract Designers willing to invest that amount of time the prize should be at least $400-$500. All "Character" style logos fall into this category.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested." We'd like to know what you don't want so we can give you the design you do want.
~~ The first phase of the contest is the "Open" phase, and everyone can submit during that time.
~~ After your contest's initial "Open" phase closes, it will enter the "Top 5" phase; only the top 5 ranked Designers will be able to submit revisions at that time.
~~ The "Top 5" Designers are the first 5 Designers in a contest, not the first 5 designs.
~~ When "Top 5" ends, the "Judging" phase begins. The Designer of the 1st place design will be the only Designer who can submit revisions at that time.
