Our image should inspire confidence, integrity, creativity, dynamism and some kind of a casual ambiance (don’t want to be perceived as rigid, formal and expensive “multinational company style”). Other unclassified keywords to inspire you : community, open-source.

Logo will be used on business card, invoices, website, etc.

(Added on 2012-11-02 05:08):

Once the logo's done. I'm looking forward to go forth with the website design ! Best designers will be noticed.

Our industry: Internet

Top Three Things to Communicate through our Logo:

#1 - Should inspire confidence and integrity

#2 - Creativity and dynamism (casual ambiance)

#3 - Outstanding customer service

Our Target Market:

I want to reach freelance, small and medium businesses that would need affordable and innovative solutions to develop their business.

People that want to look outside the box and consider open source alternatives. Many think that CRM and software development is for big company, I want to be an alternative that is reliable and cost effective.

Some industries that could be targeted : insurance salesman, mortgage seller, financial adviser, organizations that offers rehabilitation program and need to manage a lot of beneficiaries. Any industry or organization for whom customer service and follow up is important.

Styles that we are interested in:

Characters

Pictorial Mark

Web 2.0

Values to communicate:

Feminine		Masculine
Young		Mature
Luxury		Economical
Modern		Classic
Playful		Serious
Loud		Quiet
Simple		Complex
Subtle		Obvious

Color preferences:

Certainly the color blue should be there as it create a sensation of trust and security.

I like the white color also.

I also enjoy the green color which could convey a sense of growth and success. This color is not mandatory though.

I'm open to suggestion, I will stay in tune with posted graphics and give feedback regularly.

Where we will use the Logo:

Print, Web

ifontaine Canada Contest holder	November 2nd, 2012, 4:01pm Thanks for posting. I'll try to comment as much as I can each of you. Here's some thoughts: - The word "Solutions" should also be well readable. - Audience: thing about people that would be around 30-35 years old. - We can try pastel or vivid colours, should be dynamic and give a sense of release, delight. Contrast are interesting but not to much heaviness with darker colour. - Pictogram is welcomed but give me some of your thoughts behind it. What is the meaning of your draw. It should be meaningful. Some ideas : could represent partnerships, the importance of customer, the idea of community in the sense of the open source solutions we will offer (like the Ubuntu logo for instance), the idea of innovation, growth, solutions, etc. Keep up your good work. I really appreciate the time all of you spend on my contest !

ifontaine Canada Contest holder	November 3rd, 2012, 7:05pm PLEASE... when creating a pictogram be sure to give me the explanation, the rationality behind. Thanks for participating !!!

ifontaine Canada Contest holder	November 5th, 2012, 3:24am I thank all of you for your awesome participation. It will be an awful job to choose the winner as I'm getting more and more high quality logos from you !!! More I think about it the more I like the idea of a pictogram or any image that convey the values of Open-source philosophy : collaboration, partnerships, transparency, people, relation, community, etc. Be careful with hot colours like red and orange as they tend to evoke something different than what I'm looking for. Some colours that I'm comfortable with (but feel free to use something... I'll comment it and we'll see) : gray, blue, green, purple, violet, white, and any other that will match with these. In my knowledge I commented everyone of you. If you did not receive a comment, please send me message, I'll be glad to do so.

ifontaine Canada Contest holder	November 5th, 2012, 6:01pm Today, November 5th. I won't be able to comment before late this evening (-5 GMT). Thanks for you patience !

ifontaine Canada Contest holder	November 5th, 2012, 6:03pm Circle, globe and arrow are very frequent...I would prefer a more unique visual.

ifontaine Canada Contest holder	November 10th, 2012, 11:28pm Got comment about the use of "people" in logo ... too common for many of my voters... please if you expect to post a logo... take in consideration this fact ! Thank you so much for the efforts you all give to this contest.

ifontaine Canada Contest holder	November 12th, 2012, 1:07am Hi everyone ! Nobody draws me a design using a key or key hole... could be a nice metaphor for solutions... let's ponder that in the last .... 3 hours or so !!!! Thumbs up everyone :) :) :)
