"Outlier Software & Technology Solutions LLC" is a startup tech company and its web site is www.outlier.tech.
We need a simple but elegant logo which focuses only to OUTLIER or "OUTLIER and TECH" words. On the other hand, if you have a different but great idea, we can also evaluate your suggestion. Please feel free to suggest creative designs.
- The logo font must be a modern font and should remind technology (as in Oracle's font. I also like the font of www.outliercrossfit.com)
- As our name suggested, our tehnology solutions are in very different and niche fields, so its logo must be different than ordinary logos.
- We'll produce a few hardware solutions in a near future, so it would be better if our logo design looks good even if we have to use its black/white version. On the other hand, it's nice to have but not necessary.
- There are several Outlier logos for different companies and almost all of them focuses the dot of letter i and their logos are usually boring. Please check Outlier.com, www.outliertech.com, www.outlierdesign.com, http://outlier.ai/, socialoutlier.com etc. If you google outlier in images you'll understand what I mean.
- If you must focus on something it can be "E" letter of OUTLIER :) Names of all my family members start with E, so it's more meaningful for me than the dot of i :)
Thanks.
