Logo design for company

We are looking for a talented and experienced logo designer to create the logo of our small company named Atworks. We are specialized in the field of webdevelopment, networking, software engineering and iPhone development. Bidders should provide a portfolio. Please note that our company will probably require more graphic designs for future projects so good results on this project will create more opportunities for you later! ## Deliverables As described in the Brief Summary our small company name is Atworks and the areas of expertise are: webdevelopment, networking, software engineering and iPhone development. All around, we work in the field of high technology and the logo should somehow reflect that. Our general requirements for this project are: a) You are free to choose the font and color scheme for the text. However although Atworks is 1 word we want "at" and "works" to be slightly distinct. This means either they will have different colours, or text will be "ATworks"/"atWORKS" or any combination of the previous provided that the optical result will be solid good. b) Atworks text should be accompanied with a graphic that both links to our company name as well as to the areas of expertise. As a result we want this graphic **standalone** to be easily recognized and remembered by our customers since we plan to tag many of our projects with that. You are free to use your imagination keeping in mind we want something formal (not too cartoonish) and web2.0 like. NOTE: we dont want 2 logos... we just want a logo with 2 standalone parts e.g graphic and the text. c) You are free to choose any colors you want. What we really want is that the logo looks good both on light and dark backgrounds. In addition to that the colors of the graphic should be similar to the text's since we will use the color scheme as a component of our corporate identity. d) During the development phase we would like to provide us with some demos. To be more specific you should provide us with at least 3 versions of the graphic (all different) and at least 3 version of the text so we can decide which two we like more and combine them so we can have our final result. Please try to be creative and provide different ideas and different color schemes. The 3 graphics and 3 text is the minimum... we will be happy if you can provide some more to choose from! (this will count as a big plus for you for future projects we plan to do) e) Final deliverables must be fullcolor/black&white version of the graphic, fullcolor/black&white version of the text, fullcolor/black&white version of the graphic with the text. All these must be in the appropriate form so we can resize them without spoiling the optical result and look good on top of different background colors. Black and white versions are meant to look good on A4 black and white prints. Hint: As an optional idea you can try designing something that is based on the atworks/aRtworks anagramatism, but still reflects our activities in the high technology/Internet/... field. This is not a strict requirement but might look inspiring for you :) Optional (but big plus): You can accompany the logo with a small moto. This is really a big plus since we still haven't thought of anything but we recommend giving it a try only if you really have something good in mind! Dont put too much effort on that... still our primary goal is a good logo! Bear in mind that good results on this small graphic project might get you more work from us in the future! Many thanks to all of you great designers, happy bidding! Atworks
