We are a boutique travel agency of two Canadian guys with an expedition travel background.
Our logo must be modern, bold, simple, and reflect that what it is we do; as expedition experts, we bring clients (who spend a lot of money) to the North and South poles of the world.
We do not want a busy logo, it must be simple, recognizable and have ownable assets - No generic icons that are featured on every logo maker website in the world. The logo must work for a website and possibly extend to some branded merch and a business card.
We are not opposed to compasses denoting the Arctic (North) and the Antarctic (South) but consider it a little overdone.
We need a logo that will work in a portrait and landscape orientation, or it is easily adaptable to either format.
Ideally, no more than two colors, i.e. one color other than the text and we would be happy with one color.
We are not opposed to a workmark either if it is unique and captures the spirit of a polar adventure company.
The winning logo design partner could have long term other business from us, if they get this just right :)
Updates
We are beginning work with various technology partners the week of March 22 and will be very busy for the next few days.
