Logo Design Brief

Hello, and welcome! Attached to this brief are vector files our existing logo, DumpsterSource.com For the past (4) years we have used this logo on our site, www.DumpsterSource.com but without really applying much thought to the design of the logo. We are now looking t0 launch a redesigned site and hope to get our new logo created beforehand.

Updates

Hello, Everyone!   After receiving the first set of designs, it's clear to me that  I failed to stress the following requirements:


NO MORE TAG LINES

1.   Do not include tag lines
2.  Do not reference "An Integrated Waste Solutions Company"

KEEP IT SIMPLE
1.  I have seen a lot of "swirly", "swoopy", "curly" designs from some of thus far and that's not what we are looking for.  I like swirly, swoopy, curvy, fluffy stuff.... but not with this design.

COLORS
1.  Please, no more "multiple color" designs.  I know that our existing logo has green, purple, orange, etc... but DO NOT submit designs with a rainbow of colors.  We want a simple, clean logo.

FONTS
1.  Please, please, please.... No "bubble" fonts, "skinny fonts", "fat fonts" "outlined fonts".... and no "italics" 
2.  Also, if you want to combine fonts, limit the combination to TWO. 

Thanks!

Hello, folks!   I want to thank all of you for the tremendous work.  There are truly a number of talented designers on this site!

I have a request, though....  Most of you are good with this, but there are a few of us out here that are a bit "shy" about their work.  What I mean is, please, please, please provide some comments with your submittals.  I ask that because it allows me to see what is behind your thinking and your design philosophy.

I am not conerned with spelling or grammer??? :-)

Just what's on your mind when you invested the time to build a design.

Thanks!

Requirements
Must have
  • The new logo should convey a sense of "Strength", "Agility", "Experience", and "Trust"

    1. Do not use more than (2) colors in a design.
    2. We are aiming for simple, simple, simple!

    Color preferences: Orange, Blue, Green.
Nice to have
  • Update - I eliminated the tag-line. Please no more taglines.
Should not have
  • Please, please, please.... none of the following:

    FONTS:
    1) do not use "skimpy", "italics", "bubble fonts", "outline fonts", etc. We will immediately eliminate those submittals.
    2) do not use more that TWO fonts in a design. Many of you are combining too many "fancy" fonts. No good!

    IMAGE and ICON
    1) No photos! I included some pictures of trucks and dumpsters in the brief so those you unfamiliar with the world of dumpster rentals, would get a quick education on what we do for a living. However, some of you are submitting these photos in the design - Ouch! That's a no-no and we will elimate submittals that include the photos. That being said....

    I encourage you to come up with a smart, simple reference to a rolloff dumpster and blend that into the design if you like. What I mean by that is, take a look at the


    This logo should be neat, clean, and professional. We need the ability to use this logo on shirts, hats, pens, and business cards. Therefore, please stay away from "busy" designs with too much 'fluff' if you know what I mean.
