We need a logo designing for a new computer company based in the UK called Xilicon, the name is based from the element Silicon. We assemble custom built computers and laptops at the higher end of the market with high specifications.
We are looking for a new logo that has a strong X aspect that could be used on its own or with the addition of ilicon to make the full Xilicon logo, but we are happy to look at other ideas as long as the X part of the logo is strong. Our website uses black, red and grey colours but we are happy to match the shades we use of each colour to the new logo depending on what looks best.
The X part of the logo will be used on the website, stationary but also physically made and put onto our products in the form of a sticker/screen print for a laptop or a 3d printed / metal cast badge.
