Logo Design Brief
We need a minimalist looking logo for our new social enterprise based in Canberra, Australia. We are trying to reduce the amount of plastic going into landfills by making great products out of Australian recycled plastic. Most of these products will be used outdoors.
Here is what we are looking for:
- 1 x square and 1 x horizontal company logos in both colour and black and white - needed in the various sizes and formats for online and print content
- We think the company's green mission could be best expressed in two shades of green for the logo, but happy for other ideas
- We don't want the usual circular design made of arrows that often denotes recycling, but are fine with a circular shape
- The Refoundry is ultimately a products manufacturing company and was named by combining the words, Recycling and Foundry. If you look up the definition of Foundry, it will give you more of an industrial feel to this green enterprise (which we chose on purpose) - and hope the logo can convey that feel too.
- I have attached an idea of what we think we might want and do not want.
Target Market(s)
Broad market for both industrial customers and consumers - but all that care about our environment and the problems with plastic.
