Logo Design Brief
We are looking for a catchy logo design for a company based start-up company in Australia called 'Broken Arrow Laboratories'. We are developing innovative massively multi-player real time strategy WAR games targeting many different hardware platforms ranging from iOS, Android, Windows and Linux. Our titles will have very strong social networking themes.
The design should be fun, catchy, innovative and standout that will allow people to connect the logo to us. This project is wide open to an innovative design and winning design will appear on websites, in game splash screens and other marketing materials.
Our key target audience will be people that are 15-35.
Successful Designer will have opportunity to accept a named mention in our contributor credits that will be present in all our game titles and website.
Updates
Thanks to everyone for such a rapid response!Some designers have asked about the name so here is an update about that.History behind the name “Broken Arrow”:We were brainstorming names thinking about game themes, studio names of other game developer studios. Since the name for development studios don’t have to directly relate to the products they sell we thought a name that might take on medieval theme (literal i.e. archery arrow broken) or black market nuke or war time strategy term to fire on or near friendly location because they have been overrun by the enemy would be a catchy name.I am open to many innovative designs that don’t need to follow the above but at the same time would welcome designs aligned with above too.

Thanks again to everyone that have submitted designs for this project. The response has been awesome.Since 98% of the designs submitted to date have a literal broken arrow as part of the design I would like to see new designs that are more abstract that don't actually have an real bow and/or arrow.We are looking for a logo that doesn't have strong ties to other sectors like medical, logistics etc. We are really looking for something fresh and new that either directly sends the message we are a game development company or is distinctly different from other company logos that we can make it our own and of course be very easy to remember or memorable.Looking forward to see what people come up with.Andrew Added Sunday, October 19, 2014
