Logo Design Brief
Next Stage is a sports betting software technology company that offers an online Sports Betting / Sportsbook platform to its B2B customers who want to provide sports betting to their end users (bettors, B2C). We need a logo for this company.
The company name lends itself to rocket imagery and advanced engineering feel.
Attached are a few rudimentary draft images that suggest an initial logo concept from our side. The design features a rocket with the silhouette of a running man inside it. The FONT should resemble the font in one of NASA's logo (please see the attached image for the exact one). While we’re open to alternative ideas, variations, and creativity, we view this concept as a starting point. The logo should be flat/2d.
