Logo Design Brief

Rec-Chek is one of the original Personal Finance Management services (think Mint.com, but on paper and more business-oriented) and is now adding web-based tools to compliment its existing service. While the original service focused on a paper check-based method of coding expenses, that aspect of the business will be de-emphasized as the new online offerings become available and the service expands to include debit and credit card records.

A new logo is needed to freshen the brand's identity and will be used in a website redesign, which will commence immediately following selection of the new logo.

For context, I'm attaching logos for Mint.com, BillGuard.com, and Buxfer.com, which are competing services.

Hi folks,


Thanks for all the submissions so far.

Please note that I have now guaranteed the project.

Also, the check mark logos are probably not what we're after.  Yes, "chek" is in the name, but its referring actually to paper checks (or cheques) as in a checking/banking account.

Rather than check marks, we'd like to see more emphasis of the financial/record keeping aspect of the business.  Charts/graphs, dollar sign ($), spreadsheets, etc., are probably more what we're looking for in the pictorial aspects of the logo.  Please be creative and do not limit yourself to what I'm mentioning here.

Thanks again and good luck.  As of now, I do not believe we have a winning entry, so keep the submissions coming.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I'd still like to see more concept designs. There are some strong contenders, but I'm not sure that there's a winner among them at this point. Thanks for all the submissions and please do submit more designs.
