Logo Design Brief

We (500 Startups, one of the most well-known tech investors and startup accelerators) need a logo design for a new conference called "unSEXY".

>>> WHAT WILL THE WINNING DESIGNER GET?
Aside from the budget we've outlined here on DesignCrowd, we'll also do a blog post on the 500 Startups website mentioning the winning designer, along with the logo image. Our blog is widely read by the tech industry (startups, large tech companies, investors, press) on a global scale.

>>> WHAT IS unSEXY?
unSEXY is a 1-day conference about tech startups and companies who are in 'unsexy' verticals but actually do something that's INCREDIBLY SEXY - they make money.

>>> WHAT WILL unSEXY COVER?
unSEXY will focus on 'unsexy' verticals such as financial services, SMB/enterprise, communications, email, etc. This conference is all about redefining our notion of 'sexy companies' and sharing strategies, tactics, and case studies for tapping these markets.

>>> WHAT DESIGN IDEAS WOULD WE LIKE TO SEE?
* Geeky girl + geeky guy trying to look hot, but failing
* Geeky girl + geeky guy 'blinged out' like Rappers (gold chains, etc.)
* Ben Franklin on $100 dollar bill, but totally geeked out
* Revenge of the nerds with 'money' visuals

WHAT'S OUR OVERALL STYLE?
* We are all about innovative tech, and we LOVE to push the envelope...nothing boring, corporate, etc.
* PLEASE make the logo funny, edgy, wild, attention-grabbing, etc.
* Some of our other event logos, to give a sense of our personality:
- Warm Gun: http://warmgun.com/
- Inbox Love: http://inboxlove.com/
- Geeks on a Plane: http://geeksonaplane.com/
- MamaBear: http://mamabeartech.co/
- SMASH summit: http://smashsummit.com/
