The Cut Company

We are "The Cut Company", a film & tv production company.
The Cut Company - as in: we make the cut. We are the cut.
As filmmakers, we also edit - and therefore, cut.
We need a logo - a killer logo. This will initially be for a high profile website - have fun, and do your best...show off!

The Cut Company

The Cut Company is a pioneering film and tv production company. Our HQ is in Charleston, SC, and we like the feel of the history here - the old antebellum and victorian designs, the old lamplights, and spanish moss. We are fairly open to different types of designs and will provide active feedback throughout the process to help guide submissions. We would like to develop a long term relationship with our designer for additional projects.

Consequently, in addition to producing films and tv shows, our new product that we are launching next month is "CharlestonTV". It will be a kickapps community embedded into The Cut Company website, where we will make original web shows and video advertising for. We also need a logo for CharlestonTV (we call it CharlestonTV, but the proper name of the site is YourCharleston dot TV)
You can find that contest on 99 designs, too.
To the designer that wins both contests, we offer a $100 bonus.

- We need logo ready to go for both WEB and PRINT.- Prefer a scalable vector image (Adobe Illustrator, EPS or AI); not JPEG, GIF, TIFF, etc. but will accept layered PSD. All please as high res layered master (@ 300dpi!)- Logo should have The Cut Company name inside of it, but does not have to have ".com"- Logo should be very unique, recognizable, sophisticated, but look fresh, new, and masculine.- We are a creative company - this logo needs look and feel well designed, and draw emotion. For some reason I sorta like the feeling of "sophisticated punk". (Whatever that means!?) I guess that means that we can hang and work for the big boys, but we also retain our own point of view. Companies come to US to dream up their campaigns., and want to be associated with our brand.- A few key words for inspiration - (but not limited to) History, Antebellum, Sophistication, Charleston, Film, TV, Video, Web, Viral, Wealth, leaders of our industry, fun, cool, trendy.- Needs to be used for multiple functions - website, stationary, biz cards, etc.- - We are looking at The Cut Company as an advertising company these days - we make the videos and web 2.0 campaigns that make other businesses, companies, services, organizations, etc. flourish and prosper.

- clip art, unlicensed art- plain, tacky, or wack- feminine designs- flat designs - it should have some depth
