Logo Design Brief
I need a logo design for a new career consulting business I'm about to launch. The service will be targeted at the senior executive market, focusing on career coaching, interview advice and CV overhaul. I want to see a fresh, simple, modern logos that will be both serious and contemporary. The business name is Piper Career Enhancement.
Design Specifics I like a simple, clean, contemporary design style - things like the apple logo, the linkedin 'in' and even GE's logo are all simple and distinctive. I'd like to stick to greys/blues/yellow in relation to colour. Nothing too fussy or busy in terms of imagery.

Stuck in a rut? You’ve been with your employer for a long time - you’d love a fresh challenge but you’ve no idea how to start. Brushing off your CV? – You never even had one….
No prizes for second place! Getting pipped at the post in the last few interviews and getting no feedback?
Mirror, mirror on the wall. You want a true evaluation of the impression you make at interview, without the bias of a recruiter with a vested interest in their client’s needs.
Self-promotor you are not! You know you’re a good operator, but you just can’t seem to communicate that effectively at interview. How do you get the cut through and have the impact you want.
Marketing strategy:
Sarah’s personal network and track record within this arena is well established. Launch will be through social media (Linkedin) and through industry referrals. Established links with many Melbourne based corporates including Sensis, ANZ, Australia Post, Coles and Talent2 – all of which provide substantial volume to target client and have agreed to the regular referral of their network interested in these services. Sarah has already acquired a solid base of testimonials to underpin marketing collateral.
Vision statement:
To support mid to senior level individuals who are keen to better harness their experience, improve interview performance and overall career prospects. The business will operate for a finite period of time (likely 12 months) during a gap in Sarah’s corporate employment, allowing personal flexibility to raise young family.
