Logo Design Brief

Greetings,

Excited to open up this logo design contest with you!

I am helping to develop a campaign called The Urgent Remarkable which will be a manifesto of sorts for city strategy. It's aimed to get people involved in urban development to think about strategy and sustainability in a new way.

So we're needing some basic graphic identity help and have turned to you talented mystery designers out there.

Requirements for the project are:

-Simple and clean aesthetic
-Versatile in its usage (will be on a wide variety of collateral)
-Polished and professional (will be viewed by city governments, international magazines, high impact investors, etc)
-Still a splash of life to it (not too boring or corporate feeling)

Here's a simple idea I threw together which touches on the overall feel the logo could have... as you'll see, very minimalistic: http://metrohippie.com/wp-content/uploads/URlogo_idea.jpg

As far as colors, again, something versatile would be ideal. Nice muted earth tones might be most appropriate (like a slate gray/blue, earthy greens, etc).

Also playing around with the layout of the logo... The Urgent Remarkable on a single line might be a bit much, so having them be separated could be of value... also not set on there being an icon vs just having the words alone... am very open to any type of suggestion here.

For your reference, I've attached a few logos that I feel effectively express the type of feel we're going for...

Look forward to seeing what you all come up with!

Info Icon
Updates

Hey all,


some great work being generated thus far... appreciate all your creative thoughts!

wanted to send a quick overall update.  The direction most of the designs have taken is very graphic and exploratory, big icons, a lot of color, etc... I certainly appreciate the creativity, but am concerned that this is missing the mark for our audience... what we're looking for is something very refined and simple, really the culmination of a nice typeface flexing its own muscles... I threw together a quick sketch of an idea that is a little closer aligned to what would communicate best for this project.

So take a look at this and let it perhaps inspire you to work on the minimalist front... the key is to have it be simple, yet interesting.

please send me any comments or queries if you have them.

thanks again, all!
