Logo Design Brief
After 3 years in business, we need to transform our logo and stamp to be more unique and eye-catching. Our initial design was done in a rush and now we are ready to get after it.
Our company is based in Dallas-Fort Worth, specifically Richardson, TX. We are a recruiting firm, specializing in Accounting and Finance placement. We are beginning to expand beyond Accounting and Finance to Information Technology. Additionally, we began to offer consulting and temp placements last year.
Company name is Benchmark Search Group (but usually referred to as Benchmark Search). Our website is www.benchmarksearchgroup.com and can also be reached via benchmarksg.com. Our e-mails are benchmarksg.com
We are considering moving to SG where S can stand for multiple things:
Search - placement business
Solutions - temp/consulting business
I'm attaching our current logo, but also created a pinterest page with examples of some that I like: https://www.pinterest.com/tda77/bm/
