What we do:
We are an "on-demand" storage startup. We deliver containers to a customer's residence upon their request, they pack the containers with the belongings they want stored, we pick up those containers and store them at our facility for them until they need them again. We can re-deliver specific items or all their storage containers upon their request. They never visit the facility--all the packing is done at their location on their own time and we pick it up--on demand.
We deliver containers. They Pack the containers. We pick up the containers. We store the containers. We Redeliver the containers.
STOR A BIN
our model will be largely web-based, so it would be nice for designers to consider placing ".com" at the end of their design, so we can easily use either version depending on where the logo will be...like on the side of a truck to direct folks to our website...or on our webs tie where the ".com" is not really needed.
It's like a closet "in the cloud." Or just having an extra closet.

Our industry: Service Industries
Top Three Things to Communicate through our Logo:
#1 - Storage Container / "Bin"
#2 - On Demand / Convenience
#3 - Simplicity / Efficiency
Our Target Market:
Younger folks, perhaps professionals who live in apartments or in dorms who don't have the time or the interest in storing their things at a self storage facility. Older folks, too, who have a need for storage, but not the need for the hassle of self storage.
It's about creating space in your residence without having to forego the hassle of traveling to a storage room--or paying for more space than you need.
So we're targeting folks of all ages living in apartments or other similar living spaces who are technologically competent that have the expendable income for stuff, but not the wealth to have plenty of attic space or storage room on their own property.
So Young Adults, Young Professionals, Anyone living in apartments, town-homes, or small homes. Housewives as well for seasonal decorations, etc. Event planners, or busy real estate agents, etc who would like to have their stored items delivered to them on demand.
Styles that we are interested in:
|
Abstract Mark  Letterform Mark  Wordmark  |
Values to communicate:
| Feminine | Masculine | |
| Young | Mature | |
| Luxury | Economical | |
| Modern | Classic | |
| Playful | Serious | |
| Loud | Quiet | |
| Simple | Complex | |
| Subtle | Obvious |
Color preferences:
Blue and Green are our preferred colors. BUT, we like the idea of separating the word by color. STOR A BIN... each being a different color...so we are open to other color ideas since blue and green are just two colors...and that idea would need a third. ALSO, we would want the word to stay one word...no space between the sections. STORABIN.
(Added on 2014-08-25 18:25):
also we want to keep the picture logo preferably to the left of the words (StorABin)
Our Ideas and Additional Information:
We really like the the makespace.com logo, since it does a lot to communicate what they do. We thing we can do a lot better in terms of communicating what service we offer and the details of that service, however. City Stash's logo is relatively abstract in our opinion. It is memorable and professional, but it doesn't communicate anything about what the product is.
Also, we have originally thought to separate the words in our name by color. STOR A BIN...but no space. STORABIN.
Where we will use the Logo:
Billboards & Signs, Mobile/Tablet App, Print, Web

 United StatesContest holder | August 20th, 2014, 2:09pm Design #13 is our current first pick, although visually, Design #11 is more appealing to us. #13 does a lot to communicate the idea of what we do and how we do it. However, it's a little complex, and it's not clear if the three circles are clouds are just part of the "sync" icon. We would also prefer more color; as in, instead of black, make it orange in the letter "A" and in the "box" icon inside the sync icon. Both design #13 and #11 can easily add the .com to the end while allowing the STORABIN logo to stand on its own without it. Design #11 also incorporates the "back-and-forth" aspect of our operations, and it's very simple, so it's not too busy too distract from the businesses name, etc. So we would like to see a fusion, so to speak, of the two. Something simple, with color, but that also does the complex, difficult job, of illustrating the "sync" and "exchange" of your things into and out of storage via our service. Also note our ranking of Design #10. We really like that bin design, as that is the kind of containers we will use, and the use of the cloud. Design #2 has playful colors which grab attention, and it also, with the open door in the cloud, developed a question inside the viewer...what's inside the cloud? What's behind the door? It almost invites the viewer into visiting the website to find out...It's really powerful, and also hard to place into 4th, because that images invokes exploration, which is ultimately what we want to do with our logo and marketing. We want people to ask what it is and go check us out on the web to schedule a drop-off of our containers, and pickup of their things. Also, please note design #8...the truck is a great image that shows what we're doing. We really like that truck, because it immediately communicates the fact we come to you and take things somewhere. Maybe a container with a "sync" symbol on the side of the truck would be interesting. Actually that may be a very unique idea altogether. Having a truck with some kind of symbol on it on the road. Just a sync symbol around a container. It might really grab attention on the road and around town. Maybe play with this idea? THANK YOU ALL SO FAR FOR OUR SUBMISSIONS. THEY ARE SO GOOD ALREADY AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR REVISIONS AND EFFORT TO DELIVER A GREAT PRODUCT. **THIS IS THE 3RD BUSINESS WE'VE STARTED IN THE PAST YEAR, AND THE 3RD TIME WE'VE USED LOGO-ARENA--YOU DESIGNERS REALLY MAKE IT WHAT IT IS, AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO** |

| United States Contest holder | August 23rd, 2014, 4:15pm check out these color schemes, and try to stick with these colors, or variations of these colors. http://images.clipartof.com/thumbnails/218217-Abstract-Curved-Orange-White-Green-And-Blue-Logo-Icon-Or-Background.jpg http://topwalls.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Computer-Win-Windows-8-Cubes-Orange-Green-Blue-Cyan-Yellow.jpg --------- We want separation between Stor A Bin making each a different color. we like the concept of arrows, and a bin showing what we do (pickup, store, and re-deliver) something that quickly lets our customer know who we are and what we do just by looking at our logo. we Don't want the container and arrows too large either. a nice flow between the logo and words in the logo are what were aiming for. thank you all so much for your hard work! we love the creativity and truly appreciate each of your entries!! |
| United States Contest holder | August 25th, 2014, 2:33pm ---------Please look at these links to get an idea of our preference in the color choice------- http://images.clipartof.com/thumbnails/218217-Abstract-Curved-Orange-White-Green-And-Blue-Logo-Icon-Or-Background.jpg http://topwalls.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Computer-Win-Windows-8-Cubes-Orange-Green-Blue-Cyan-Yellow.jpg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We also like the concept of shading in our logo, and a bit more complexity in the letters than we have been seeing. If you incorporate a bin or cube or any other logo please keep the logo to the left of the words (StorABin) Thank you so much for your submissions! we love the imagination, and the direction many of you are taking with our business concept of collecting, storing, and returning bins. |
