Hi, everyone! We are getting closer to the look we are going for now. We want this to be a forceful, we stand behind our products, stamp of guarantee or approval. A stamp that we thought portrayed that was...

http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-ph…st=00b4196 (Just the name, not the busy-ness around the circle, that is where the ripples and splashes would be) Please remember this needs to translate well to black and white also...and I would really like to see some lower and uppercase variations in the "i" when you submit your logos so we can see which way we prefer.

Thanks so much!

Hello, finalists! Sorry for the delay, it's been super busy here! OK, now please remember, for the final round...the ONLY word in the design should be "INTEGRATED", perhaps submit your designs with both a lower case and an upper case "i" so that we can see which way we like better. We are moving away from a Rubber Stamp literal feel of the design and going towards more of a literal "seal of approval" type of thing...we really like the water outline effect of this image: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-ph…st=df44226 - but want it surrounding the whole word, not on each letter. So that it would feel like someone had a stamp or seal of approval that said "INTEGRATED" and slammed it down on a wet surface and water splashed out...let's see where you go with that. We want it clean, no icons anymore. Just the word "INTEGRATED" with the splashing effect. Let's see where that takes you. Remember we want a clean, memorable, industrial feel font. Not something that you see everywhere else. No serifs. Thank you, I look forward to seeing your submissions!

These are some of the flow meters that we buy for our systems: http://www.mcsmeters.com/industrial…-group.jpg

These are some of the valves we buy: http://www.asahi-america.com/products-valves.htm

Here's a sample pressure gauge: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/Pr…Pid=search

If you view the products page on our website, you will get a good idea for what we really do: http://integrated-aqua.com/products…uct-pages/

We want these to be like icons, not images so to speak. Think of the logo as a block of concrete...rectangular shaped most likely - but open to other shapes - we want our brand name "INTEGRATED" to be boldly stamped into the concrete...and then more subtly, we would like the accessory icons to be lightly stamped, like fossils in rock, in the background, or to be used creatively within the letters themselves. We do still want to pick up at least one of the blue tones from the website into this logo...most likely the dark blue. Thanks!

Very nice concept; however, I feel like none of you have read the entire design brief...there is a whole paragraph in the Further Requirements section that states we want a one word "INTEGRATED" logo / emblem for our product line...not a new company logo for our entire corporation. There are other important details in this paragraph below as well...I am pasting it here for your convenience:

Look thoroughly through our website at www.integrated-aqua.com - take your colors from there. We want to lean toward a more industrial rubber stamp type feel possibly...at least with the font...all caps. This is a "brand" logo, not a company logo. The only word on the logo should be INTEGRATED. Items related to our industry like pressure gauges, flow meters, pumps, filters, etc...could possibly, should possibly be used in the background of the logo...whether embossed or actual photos...artistic interpretation whatever. You can pull images from our site to mock up. Demographic is a highly technical professor, engineer, etc...We need this brand emblem / logo to have depth and wow factor...to be easily recognized and able to portray the industry without being too busy.

I appreciate your efforts and talent and hope you will all try again after reading the requirements in their entirety.
