Logo Design Brief
We are a global recruitment/executive search company seeking a fresh logo identity!
The brand should convey;
Prestige, exclusivity, elegance, executive
Our company mainly works with prestigious financial services, consulting firms and technology companies and the brand must feel aligned to those industries.
I have attached some of our current logo concepts as well as two logos from competitors.
We would love to see logos with colour schemes including greens / blues / black.
We are open to logos that have the same font type we use today, as well as new fonts that resemble the brand identity.
We like the idea of having a graphic that somehow represents the lettering of our name (incorporating LC somehow into a graphic) next to the font, if possible. This isn't essential, but we believe it could be nice.
Finally, we'd be interested in a logo that incorporates this specific colour: #1E8676
Thank you!
