Logo Design Brief
BCC is a business incubation program that works with innovators and early stage companies. Our website is www.biomedcanada.com We charge a small monthly fee to be in the program. We add value to our clients by providing facilities and infrastructure, we also put in place a management advisory team since our clients are usually one or two person companies and typically scientists. The third area we add value is with finanace and investment. We do all their financial and tax work, and also, will invest money into them for equity. Beyond those program features, we have heard that the best value we deliver to our clients is connecting them to our network (e.g. investors, govt programs, sales people). We need to update our logo so that it visually communicates the concepts of: (1) connectivity and access to a network; (2) Having a Team to support the client; and (3) Business Progress. Currently the logo is just a word mark, we would also like a logo.
Update added on Dec 13: Based on the logos we have seen to date, we like the following features: (1) A logo that is on an angle so it looks like one side is elevataed from the paper. (2) A logo that uses segments to form a shape like a circle or oval. (3) A logo with vibrant colour that is placed over a dark background. (4)Use the words "Commercialization Centre" if including text. The designs that are on the site, that have not been eliminated all have components of the four preferred fetures which you can see.
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hi;
We have narrowed down our selection to abut 6 designs. We like them all, but have also realized we like different elements in from different designs. Therefore, we would like to provide some feedback and see if the designs can be modified a little before we make our final decision.
Here are some design elements we like. The final choice may not have these elements, but i thought this feedback may be useful:
1) We like the dark background. If possible, have a dark shape, and the put the logo / wordmark over top.
2) We like having the logo on an angle.
3) If you are using words or letters as part of the design, please use: "Business Commercialization", and try to stay away from "BCC"
Thanks for your efforts so far. We are impressed.
