Hello everyone!

We've had a few interesting designs submitted that are showing an attempt to tell a story within the logo. Great to see designers reading and following the brief. This is extremely important to us.

However, most design submissions have not really been on brief. We'd love to see MORE narrative in logo submissions.

Thanks,
~The SQ Executive Team

Things we've seen and liked, and would appreciate designers taking further, or expanding upon from these ideas for inspiration/ direction are as follows:

- A magnifying glass shape used within the logo
- A maze design
- A micro view of scenery with elements related to our business
- A world/ earth/ globe
- A interlocking of the S and the Q in a narrative design
- A design that looks a bit like a mind map or bubbles connected to each other
- A portrait/ face with a world inside it

^^Note: The above list ought not be thrown together into a design. We really enjoy seeing designers thinking about the brief, doing their research, and crafting a design which feels authentic.

^^ We also are taking the time to give thoughtful written feedback to all designers so that you may align more with what we are seeking.

Thank you to all the lovely submissions. We know you are artists and working hard on them!

Please no generic designs or just words. We would like designs to reflect the brand. Read more: [Non image link removed]

ugh. sorry. it seems DC won't let us post the link. What we're looking for is the branding. But still CLEAR, CREATIVE, NOT VAGUE, NO CONFLICTING THEMES and STRIKING

A good way to think of the logo is as if a "guild".

The contest has been extended a few more days as one of our directors is sick ??

We hope with the extra time, new designers can submit, and those of you awaiting approvals for your work, are accepted.

can you add more days !

Sorry no. We extended the contest as long as possible. Sorry you missed out.
