Logo Design Brief
We need a logo design for a startup investment and advisory business called "Ascendent". We find, assess and invest in early stage, high growth companies. We also advise startups across a range of areas from business planning, IP, marketing, operations and team building.
The purpose of the company is to create freedom for entrepreneurs by helping them be success and get to the top of their game. We care about making an impact on the world through supporting startups to realise their vision.
The values of the business are around integrity, diversity (for everyone), guiding entrepreneurs through a tough journey. We value helping the underdog, who has passion and drive to ascend to great things.
We would like to see designs that embody a sense of growth and achievement, like scaling (ascending) to the top of a mountain. This doesn't have to have a literal reflection of a mountain but needs to signify ascension, going up, scaling upwards, reaching further.
We have uploaded some examples of logos that give a sense of the style we would like reflected back in the designs. This brand should feel contemporary, innovative, tech therefore a more minimalist approach - simple, clean font and simple device that communicates the purpose/values.
COLOUR PALETTE CHOICES BELOW IS JUST A SELECTION OF MORE PREFERRED COLOURS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CHOOSE 1-3 OF THESE COLOURS.
