Michael Andrews & Associates LLC
Michael Andrews & Associates LLC is a legal collection agency that has existed for over 12 years. It collects debt on behalf of its clients by means of litigation and various creative collections strategies.
Our customers are creditors and lenders who are holders of defaulted loans. These include banks and venture capitalists who purchase debt. These customers want to see a strong foundation at first glance; a dependable company that does not take unnecessary risks. At the same glance, there should be some element of the logo that shows that Michael Andrews & Associates LLC is different from its competitors in many ways.
The other audience that will see this logo are those being collected on. The logo should be something that would be taken very seriously. One can be elegant while expressing that they mean business, right?
No dollar signs, dollar bills, or anything obnoxious.
We like the colors blue and silver, but have not committed to them. We would love to see other color ideas.
By law, the logo cannot give any impression that Michael Andrews & Associates LLC is a debt collection agency.
No cartoons or personified objects.
No scales of justice.
"Michael Andrews & Associates LLC" in full (including LLC) must be present in the logo. Ampersand must be used in the logo as that is the way that it is registered and licensed.
The logo should exude power, but should not be pretentious.
Michael Andrews & Associates LLC would like a logo that demands attention.
The logo should scale down small enough to fit onto a business card (3/4"x3/4") and still look presentable.
It should be obvious by looking at the logo that Michael Andrews & Associates LLC is well structured and dependable.
Shadowing should be a part of the design.
The logo should be somewhat simple. We plan on printing on t-shirts, letterhead, coffee mugs, business cards, brochures, and displaying on websites and digital presentations.
I do not want to limit your creativity by sending examples of my doodling or telling you what font to use. Please wow me with your idea and create something different from the industry standards in collections and banking.
Final product should be sent in a variety of workable formats and sizes for web design and use.
Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.
