Phase2 Technology is a leading provider of open source web software solutions, application development and consulting services. The company specializes in content management systems, content exchange, fund raising and CRM, online community development and custom web application development. See project brief for more in-depth information. We are looking for a new logo, which will help drive our website re-design process.

**Prize amount has just been increased ahead of the weekend!**

Brand Name
Phase2 Technology (tagline) Open Source. Open Minds.
Description
  • The logo should have the right mix of 'trendy/web 2.0' as well as design elements that will stand the test of time.  Our company is cutting edge, but also has a rich history and will be around for quite some time.
  • We would like to see color choices/combination's that push the envelope, if just a little bit.  We are not fans of pinks, roses, or pastels.  Anything else is fair game.  We would like to see 2 options for each logo, one with a white background and one with a black background.
  • The logo should convey a mixture of 'professional services/consulting' as well as an industry leader in the open source technology space.
  • Some adjectives used to describe our company Experienced and Knowledgeable, Innovative Problem Solvers, Interested in solid client partnerships, Agile, Pragmatic, Intelligent, Ingenuity, Specialized.
  • We would like to see use of iconography incorporated into the logo, either on the left/right side, or above the text Phase2 Technology.  Also, we do NOT want to see a play on the letter P and the number 2, unless your idea looks stellar.  Also, no clip art, no usage of 'tried and true' technology iconography (no computers, no network cables, no clouds).  Any iconography used should be original and in keeping with current design trends.
  • Our clients come to use to solve complex technological problems, and we are their partner in solving them, from inception, architecture, development and implementation.  We would like the logo to reflect that.
Wants
  • A mix that conveys professional services and technology leaders
  • Something that pushes the envelope, if only just a little bit
  • Something that will translate well to other collateral (business cards, etc)
  • A mixture of the points stated in the above brief.
Don't Wants
  • Anything too trendy, too web 2.0 that will be out of date in 2 years.
  • The colors pink, rose, or anything pastel
  • Do not shorten the text to P2 Technology, unless it's a damn great way to do it.
  • No clip art, no usage of 'tried and true' technology iconography (no computers, no network cables, no clouds)
