Contest Brief

Hi,
We need a logo for an internet marketing business that we are starting up called "Building Marketing". The company’s main role is to create an internet presence for local clients in the building industry.

Further Details:
Company Name: Building Marketing (must be in the logo)
Main background: White & Black
Graphic Logo: BM (should have a reference to the Building Industry (if possible) and preferably have a 3D appearance)

The winning bidder must provide the following:
- Name of the Font used (We MUST be able to use the font on our site). If font is uncommon, then the actual ttf font file
- High resolution picture version of the end project. One on Black and one on White Background.
- Provide project files for the logo

I have some partial design ideas I would like to see if someone can work with however I can be flexible if you can design something better. In the partial design the B represents windows and the M represents the roof of the building. But as mentioned, other ideas are welcome.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

I am looking forward to see your designs.

Best regards

#45 Thanks for the entry, but the building and the roof are too complex. I do like the two colors that you used in the Building Marketing

#36, #41 Thanks for the entry, but although the designs do have some unique parts, overall they are too complex and not obvious at first glance.

#18 I like:
- the 3D feel, however, I think it would look better if the buildings had a shadow
- Font is nice
I don't like
- at first glance, the buildings to me looked like crystals :) Is there a way to make them clearer that they are buildings?

PS. I attached a new file with an idea of using BM to form a shape of a house (the house shape needs to be strengthened further in some way). Maybe you might be able to use something in that idea.

  #26, #27, #28. I was trying to get the letters B&M to look like a house.
  If you look at #28, the edges of B and M form straight lines, which look like a roof. If you look on the example I sent, you see the M forming the Top of the roof with the top slanting both to the left and right.
  (BTW I used Font "Gabriola" for B and "Arabic Typesetting" for the M. The letter "B" in Gabriola didn't have foot at the bottom so it emphasises the roof more.)
  
  I was thinking that it might be possible to do things like the following:
  - The straight parts of B and M extended a "little" to make it more obvious that it's a roof
  - The colors of the letters be different at the top so that they looks like a triangle roof
  - additional line (ie roof) be added just above the letters to make it clear that it's a house
  - or some combination of them

  In regards to some other points
  - I prefer the color of BM in #26
  - The background should be totally white, like in #26
  - Is it possible to add a little more shadow to #28 while still having a white background?
  - I like the green line under the BM like in #26

#25, The image is still too busy sorry.
#35 , This one is quite nice, because it's simpler, but for me if the B & M letters are used in the logo they need to tell a story and form some sort of building (or part of a building)

#21, #22 Thanks for the entry, but the twin picks (I know they look like an M) don't fit the building theme.

#15 I prefer the colors in #17 compared to this one. Also the 3D effect is lost

#17 Thanks for the entry
I like
- the 3D effect
- The fonts and colors used
I don't like
- it's enclosed in a shield area. I prefer the graphic to be open like in #18

#13 I like the design, but the green buildings don't really look like a B. If they did, I think it would make the BM logo more meaningful.

#16 Thanks for using my new attachment, but I was thinking that the BM needs to be modified a little to highlight that it represents a building and not just 2 letters.

Also, I prefer the font that you used for "building Marketing" on #11

#11 I like the font of "Building Marketing" but the BM logo doesn't look right. It's virtually the same as I had in the original attachment that I wasn't happy with.

Hi All,
I have just uploaded another idea for the basis of the BM logo for you to consider in your designs. It was created using Word's WordArt.

#4 Thanks for the entry
I like:
- The colors, blue and red make the logo eye catching and professional
- The word "Building" having the fading colors
- BM logo is raised a bit so it looks more 3D
I don't like:
- It's hard to see the M in the BM logo. I see it, but at first glance you just see the B
- more depth in the letters of "Building Marketing"
