Logo Design Brief
We are looking for a new logo design.
Our company is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is called: Blacksmith Marketing.
We are an internet marketing company that helps market local businesses online. We offer many extensive internet marketing packages that at the highest level include a commercial grade video.
Some of our a la carte services include: Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, and Video Marketing. We would like designs that can be used on both light and dark backgrounds.
Additionally, we would like there to be a variation of the logo that could be used as an avatar on the social media sites.
The colors our company uses are: dark red, black, and white. You can try some burnt orange as well.
It would be great if you could incorporate an anvil as that is relevant to our name.
Our slogan as of now is: 'Forging Successful Online Strategies'.
The design should communicate professionalism, trust, and authority.
Please do not use "BM" or "BS" alone. Use only BSM if you are going to use intials.
Lastly, we want to use something that is clever and looks like we are technically savvy.
Updates
We would like to see some designs that incoporate an icon or graphic as "letters" in the text of our name.
