I originally found the name "Endpoint" when I was about 15 years old. My Mom and I spent the summer together in Michigan where she was taking a course on teaching chemistry to high school students (her profession). Endpoint is a term used in chemistry, titration experiments to be specific. For example, say I'm adding liquid A to liquid B to create a new liquid, C - think the vinegar and baking soda demonstration from elementary school. That last drop of A (vinegar) into B (baking soda) that turns those two substances into C (a bubbly mess) is the endpoint. So for me, the endpoint is about change and being a catalyst to change.
In terms of a logo, I would like to see a north arrow or compass. A symbol that I can use on the top left hand corner of my business cards and the bottom right hand corner of my maps. It should be professional enough to use on letterhead but creative enough to show up in promotional material. I want you to use cutting edge design. It should scale. I want a logo that looks good in black and white but also pops with color.
