This is a contest for the design of a logo for a friend of mine that is going to try to get started as a business consultant. I shall be doing his website after the logo has been finalised. Entries will be considered up until the 6th of november. and payment will be issed by paypal. Just to get you in the idea of whats the job, here are some lines that he wrote me. Company name - 6times2 URL: www.6times2.com Tagline: Position. Dir-Action. - to be included in the logo Background: The firm would operate in the business consulting industry plus other services. Business consulting: The desired way in which it is planned to operate is to analyze the strategic position of the business. After identifying and explaining to business owners/ managers how their business is positioned, the firm would suggest a strategic direction. Finally if there is agreement, 6x2 would help to translate the plan into action. So the service is primarily aimed at already established businesses. Other services are also to be offered and include: Marketing Creating taglines Creative problem solving And perhaps some others Preferred colours: Modern, striking colours but no pink. I think I might have preference for blue or red plus another colour. I like the following website designs, layouts, fonts: akauk.com (fonts on the left headings) consensus-service.co.uk (clean layout) barbicanconsulting.co.uk (clean layout) lookatmorestuff.com (preferred layout) n21corp.com/Index.asp (another example of layout I like) sportsdirect.com/Index.pasp (layout with clickable pictures) Why the name was selected: The name selected indicates this business is different from the others, hence the name is a fresh uncommon one. The firm would be unique, creative and informal wherever possible. As the name indicates, the firm also is after helping the business client in delivering results, hence the numbers. The multiplication is also an indication of making things or profits more than where they are at present. The 6 may mean the number of items sold and the 2 may mean the price. Eg, if client wants sales figures of 18 instead of 12 (6x2), he needs to change one of the two numbers, so either 6 x 3 or 9 x 2. thus the numbers are there to get people to think about their business. I hope this helps guys, i shall be considering all submissions, and selecting the best ones to send to the site owner. his word is the final. thanks!!
