Logo Design Brief
OneFactor is a design and consulting firm.
You probably asked yourself, why would a Design firm need someone to design their logo? Well, we specialize in design for financial professionals, primarily hedge-fund industry. As such, it is technical and not the most creative stuff. So for our own logo and branding, we turn to you.
Our new logo should look sharp and uncluttered. Very clear. Modern, minimalistic. "High-Definition" logo.
We are open to any style of logo, it could be just the typeface, or a typeface and a graphic.
I've attached an example of some logos I like. Will add more as I see them.
Updates
Just want to give thanks to all the designers for participating! I'm somewhat overwhelmed by the number of entries recieved, but will do my best to provide each the feedback it deserves.
After seeing different versions of the logos, I definitely prefer the graphical element + text. The logo should have an icon that can be used by itself without the text.
It seems that a lot of designers are either repeating or modifying concepts previously posted by other designers. I do believe in design evolution, however, this significantly reduces the number of truly original ideas. Kindly note, just because you see a particular concept posted by another designer still in the running, it does not mean that I want to see further variations of that same concept.
I keep the project streamlined and will eliminate all but the most suitable designs. Please be creative and original.
Thank you all for your time and talent!
