The logo is for an accounting practice with a difference. The client loves nature, wildlife & photography. She does not want the typical accountants logo.
Her original logo (see currentLogo.jpg) was done by a print shop. See attached logo...
Here are some notes from my setup files about why she named her pricatice...
"Iris was the Greek goddess of the rainbow. She was a messenger [storm-footed, and swift, according to Homer in the Iliad] of the god Zeus and goddess Hera , leaving Mount Olympus only to convey divine commands to humankind; daughter and granddaughter of Titans [ Greek sea gods]; beautiful sister of foul Harpies."
From her Business Plan
"I chose the name Iris42 for a multitude of reasons, one of which being that in Greek mythology, Iris was a traveller and messenger, which ties in with the travel-writing which is a strong interest of mine. By adding the numerals 42, which is the latitude which runs through the centre of my country, the name includes a mathematical component to represent the accounting side of my business as well as indicating the importance I give to my state of residence. To add a light touch, which reflects my relaxed personality, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question about the meaning of life, according to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe.
See attached originalIdea.jpg out of which the current logo grew (note the rainbow and travelling staff)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonauts_Club Some info about the kids’ radio show that originally supplied the name.
So, clever designers, your challenge is to put all this together to design a profession logo which can be used in her new website & business cards.
There really are no colour, design or font restrictions.
Go for it - I just know someone out there will come up with something perfect for this unusual brief.
