Logo Design Brief
We need a logo for a new consultancy business focusing on research and policy analysis and concerned with promoting evidence-based policy-making in the Information and Communication Technology sector. While we operate from Africa, we also work with international partners (foreign economic actors and government agencies as well as intergovernmental organizations) and we want our enterprise and its signs to have a global appeal.
The name of the enterprise is DIGILEXIS. Please note that apart from the use of the company's full name (in the cases of a wordmark or lettermark logo), you also have the option to use only the letters D and L in whichever style or form that fit your design of a pictorial or emblem logo.
Our business is driven by issues of Internet governance policies and their impact on socio-economic development. To that end, the notion that a new form of literacy and civic engagement is required for the digital era is central to our vision. Following is an emblematic quote from the founder:
“The Internet revolution is not over yet; it has just began and still is unfolding. It will only be completed the day computers and their most widely available network, the underlying technologies of both and the consequences of their capabilities will become as transparent to any regular user as the capabilities of a pen and a piece of paper had become to swaths of literates around the world in the 20th century. Then we will fully be experiencing the true age of basic digital literacy. I say basic, as there is more coming. In order for every user not to be left on their own for the achievement of such complex task, appropriate policies including user participation will be required.”
Updates
Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Giving the feedback and designs received so far, I have edited the project requirements with a view to clarifying them. This also provides some reasonable time to the latest designers who have joined in to come up with some hopefully interesting designs.

Hello to All Participant Designers in this project. I have been impressed by your creative and diverse designs so far and already feel that in a few days my entity will enjoy an identity that will be further defined by a logo which will have been designed by one of you.
As of now, we still have at least 24 hours to go. If anyone is going to submit new designs until then, I would suggest to focus on two things: 1. Electronic and DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES in a futuristic perspective, and 2. Innovative and emerging (FUTURISTIC) ways those technologies will bring about in how human beings create, discover and acquire contents, information or knowledge (that was what I meant by literacy) as well as how they represent themselves in digital records (personal identity and authentication). Of course that's a verbal expose and as such it takes a lot of words. But with your talents and skills, I'm sure most of those ideas can be captured or expressed at once in an image or a graphic design.
Lastly, I just wanted to say that you don't have to resubmit the same logo, just because you attach the name of the entity in a different character font to it- UNLESS you are clearly proposing a WORDMARK (the name written in a particular mark or brand style) in addition to the logo. Because otherwise, I already have a couple of preferences for the fonts if the purpose is only to write the name and not to design a full-fledged wordmark.
Thank you all.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: The voting process has demonstrated the need to edit a couple of designs (any author of said designs would receive a note from me.) Normally, there is no need to allow designers who are new to the project to submit.
