Requirements
Must have
- A sense of sophistication for a relatively mature audience and subject. We bring a "competitive edge" (advantage) to our customers who need one. This edge is based on communications techniques we teach to sales representatives. We provide better communications skills... giving them an edge to compete. However, we don't want the viewer/our customer to be forced to think much about the logo. It should be non-complex that way. We prefer a white background.
Nice to have
- Given a mature audience in a business setting, it will be easy to create something lazy for this logo :) but there is a creative opportunity: to visualize the element described in "Must Have."
Should not have
- Please stay away from gratuitous use of "upward arrows" and the like. Yes, we help our customers sell more (profit) but we are a communications company--as a point of differentiation. The sample logos provided are NOT to give you ideas on what we are looking for; instead, this demonstrates our competitors... companies we compete with. They are, in a word, conservative. Quite boring with maybe one exception.
