Requirements
Must have
- Update as of March 14, 10:00 AM EST-US
We have received several interesting designs but have decided to go with the design on the uploaded file. WE are seeking a final design that reflects this with only slight variations that may improve it. Here are the current guidelines that we request.
FONT: Gil Sans regular for MENTAG - Gil Sans light for COMPANY.
MINDFUL LEADERSHIP. . . gil sans italic.
Design should incorporate the TAGLINE. PLEASE, eliminate the "inc" from the design.
ENSO should be symmetrical, high quality and fit neatly into the COMPANY. We would like the color to be crimson or an interesting red that is sophisticated.
Please accept my apologies if I am taking away your creativity! If you have the interest to submit a similar design that might WOW us, we would be appreciative but have yet to find something else that hits our aesthetic.
Many thanks for your continued patience and willingness to engage on this project.
We are extending the deadline until March 22. If you have any questions we will respond promptly.
THANKS!
