Podcast Design Brief
Hi,
We need an logo for an online international (Canada, France, London) French computer security and hacking podcast.
The name of the podcast is based on an historic drug smuggling group between multiple countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Connection) and the word "La" being french make a link to our French language while keeping "French Connection" in English to reach more people and make it sound better. French connection means here that we connect to most french people working or interested in computer security.
Logo concept:
- A distorted or an unique "F" in a "circle"
- the "circle" could be anything from a pirate head, a weird form, a computer or anything electronic, programming or hacking related.
- The image needs to work with a transparent background
- Colour to include (main or not): #0096ff (can be something similar)
- Slogan under or in the "circle" : "Sécurité Sans Frontières"
For more inspiration:
- Our hacking event photos: www.flickr.com/photos/hackfest2k9/
- Our event website (not linked to the podcast) : www.hackfest.ca
- A huge hacking event with lots of cool graphics: www.defcon.org
- Also attached is our "mascot" named S.E.N.T.I.N.E.L that could be use for inspiration (do not include it in the logo)
