Logo Design Brief

🎯 Logo Design Brief: 8six Ventures

We’re launching a design competition to create the visual identity for 8six Ventures, an early-stage venture firm focused on investing in the technologies and founders shaping the future of how we live and work.

8six backs companies at the intersection of:

Healthcare innovation – making care more accessible, efficient, and personalized

Human productivity – tools and platforms that enhance how people learn, create, collaborate, and thrive

🪶 Creative Guideline:
A defining feature we’d like to see integrated — either literally or symbolically — is an arrowhead, representing our Managing Partner’s Native American heritage. It should signal forward motion, clarity, and transformation — capturing our spirit as catalysts for change without feeling aggressive.

This element can be abstract or bold, part of the typography or a standalone icon — we’re excited to see different interpretations.

🎨 Color Palette:
Please anchor your design in one or both of the following colors:

Cobalt Blue — evoking trust, clarity, and momentum

Northwestern Purple — reflecting wisdom, creativity, and depth

Accent colors are welcome if they complement the core palette.

👥 Target Audience:
Your design will speak to:

Founders building transformative companies

Institutional investors and family offices seeking alpha through innovation

The broader venture capital and startup ecosystem

📐 Style Preferences:

Modern, clean, and professional

Symbolic and evocative, but not overly complex

Must work well in both color and black & white

Versatile across digital, print, pitch decks, and merchandise

💡 Inspiration:
The name 8six represents turning points — moments when people, products, or ideas reach inflection. Think of this logo as the visual embodiment of momentum, boldness, and belief in better.

We’re looking for a mark that is both timeless and distinctive. Let your creativity shine — we’re excited to see what you come up with.
