I am attaching an image of an unfinished current logo that I would like redesigned to convey social activity and TheSocialSquare.com being the hub of that activity (like the town square). That being said, i am not wedded to that logo, so if you have a better or different idea, I'd love to see it! I like chirping birds in trees because to me it conveys social behaviors and chattiness, but definitely open to other interpretations of this!
Colors used should be dark purple, dark blue and pale to medium greys. I like gradients because I think it makes it more interesting and appealing to the eye. See the attached image for an idea of the colors but feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
This website will be geared towards adults in their late 20's to their 50's who are looking to cross items off their "bucket lists". These will be web savvy, well traveled and educated people who like to engage in more impressive and dramatic activities, they want to push the envelope a little bit. The site will be "invitation only" so I want the logo to express that exclusivity while also being accessible. It can be fun but not kitschy or childlike.
I use the slogan "Social Networking for the Offline World" to describe the site so if you can incorporate that, great, if not, that;s fine too. In addition, I often abbreviate the site name as TSS.com.
If you have any experience with designing QR codes, message me, I'd be interested in seeing something like that and I'd pay more for the right design/functionality.
