Logo Design Brief
We have a very specific icon concept - a three node network diagram, with the second node extended to the right, like a greater than sign or arrow pointed to the right. Please see the attached examples.
Be creative! We fully understand we are selecting an icon with a pre-established/dual meaning that *could* be viewed as generic. We want, pardon the pun, for our icon to be iconic.
We also envision the logo in a solid color palate, most likely displayed in solid black as our standard mark.
Regarding fonts, we'd like to use one of the following Google fonts, in no particular order of preference:
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lato
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto
We are leaning to the logo text being all capital; however, are flexible for the right mix of icon and font.
