Logo-Design Kurzbeschreibung
I am looking for a company logo and app style icon to match for use on website, print material, business cards, stationary, ppt slide decks for an edgy entrepreneur coaching services company. I have attached example of Logos that are representative of the work I am looking for (of course please do not copy or use as basis---this is just to give you a sense of my aesthetic preferences, and to note that the logo needs to be both word and icon)
Our clientele are start ups, early stage or growth oriented long tail (niche player) entrepreneurs who are looking to grow and develop their enterprises, and whose enterprises are innovative, locally owned, and whose enterprises are generative (create jobs and other opportunities). This means they are mission led, stakeholder focused, have rooted ownership and operate with social and environmental ethics.
The majority of our customers are in the cultural, environmental, food, sustainable, social enterprise, maker, and start up professional services for start up generative enterprise space.
The kinds of companies we work with include festival, entrepreneurs, fashion, 3D printing, design companies, social venture funds, indie publishers, food, urban farming, renewable energy, business service professionals supporting the creative economy and social enterprise space,
The "look" we need to achieve is professional but NOT CORPORATE, creative and edgy but not juvenile. In fact many of the logos on the sample page are a bit too polished. I am OK ith a bit of DYI aspect.
We are based in Toronto so it should have urban (not rural) feel.
Looking to work with black, red, and taupe, maybe dark green colour palette. Looking for simple lines, clean design.
The icon to match is to allow us to have a small, more veratile way to attach the brand to our social media./the spines of books we publish etc. Maybe one day an app!
The logo should read:
Small Empires. Deep Impact
The tagline is: Busines Development & Performance Coaching for Long Tail Titans
The Icon part should be a derivative of the logo.
To understand the Generative Economy Idea see the comparison below;
Comparing EXTRACTIVE ECONOMY VERSUS GENERATIVE ECONOMY:
1. Financial Purpose: maximizing profits in the short term Versus Living Purpose: creating the conditions for life over the long term
2. Absentee Membership: ownership disconnected from the life of the enterprise VERSUS Rooted Membership: ownership in human hands
3. Governance by Markets: control by capital markets on autopilot VERSUS Mission-Controlled Governance: control by those dedicated to social mission
4. Casino Finance: capital as master VERSUS Stakeholder Finance: capital as friend
5. Commodity Networks: trading focused solely on price and profits VERSUS Ethical Networks: collective support for ecological and social norms

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: To provide more time to research

Hello design talent,
I have extended the deadline to give you more time. The business card is connected to the logo project so don't design the business card unless you are also working on logo project. They need to be connected. Please don't make logo look like video game crest, car logo ...need something more human....but also not "girly" or too ornate. Think of what I am trying to say. I am working with small innovative start ups, entrepreneurs looking to grow their business and have deep impact (which means they are looking not jsut to make money, but change the world for the better through their enterprise). To get a sense of the space, visit www.bcorporation.net or local living economies, etc.
Thanks!

I terms of visual part of logo, think of something that speads positive waves, ripples over wider space....think of outlier, really innovative human-cenetered enterprises (not tech although tech is part of most of teh enterprises), THink creative, outlier with positive social impact that comes as a result of their entrepreneurial efforts. One thing...= big change. that sort of idea.

I just saw a version of a design for the business card (which cannot be divorced from this project. I think the designer of this brief also has to do business card). But I liked the skyline idea...if you are thinking of a skyline, please use Toronto.

So we need a design that communicates or is in sync with the ethos of the generative economy or commons economy entrepreneur....
What Is A Generative Economy Entrepreneur?
..."a form of entrepreneurship that goes beyond the generally positive aspects of entrepreneurship to specifically furthering the empowerment of communities and societies." Meridian University
Here is comparison between traditional economy and generative economy:
Financial Purpose is about maximizing profits in the short term VERSUS Living Purpose is about creating the conditions for life over the long term.
Absentee Membership: Where ownership removed and disconnected from the life of the enterprise. VERSUS Rooted Membership: Where ownership is in identifiable, and in human hands.
Governance by Markets: Here, control by capital markets is on "invisible hand" autopilot. VERSUS Mission-Controlled Governance: where control is by those dedicated to social mission
Casino Finance: capital as master. VERSUS Stakeholder Finance: capital as friend
Commodity Networks: trading focused solely on price and profits. VERSUS Ethical Networks: collective support for ecological and social norms
Needs a little more of a grassroots feel to logo.
