Logo Design Brief
Footprints Recruiting of Vancouver, BC will soon be launching a new website and a re-branded corporate identity.
We are the oldest North American recruitment agency for teachers and education professionals from the English-speaking world, to be placed in schools and universities worldwide.
We want our logo to go with our corporate identity: we're experienced; we're helpful; we're experts in our field; we help people secure opportunities that change their life.
A footprint represents "making your mark" and "going places".
We are leaning towards a logo that would utilize features similar to this one: https://twimg0-a.akamaihd.net/profile_images/1253836108/Enclosuremark-web.jpg
For more information please see our corporate site www.footprintsrecruiting.com
We do not intend to keep our current colour scheme. We're open to suggestions, and looking for change. The only thing we want to preserve is having a (stylized) footprint as the central element in the logo.
Colour scheme: we're thinking blue and green, using some kind of grey in the background. Open to suggestions though.
Updates
Hello everyone,
This project will be open for 10 days but we're looking to make a decision sooner than that. Please submit your winning entry as soon as possible!
Thanks,

Hello designers,
We've seen a few promising designs so far, but haven't yet fallen in love with one. I'd like to provide you with some updates and instructions.
Some notes:
- we are in the process of rebranding. Nothing of the old site needs to remain or be incorporated in the logo (the orange for example). We want something new and clean.
- We're going with green and blue against a white/grey background. A logo should work well with blue, green, grey and black
- The site needs to look clean, modern and professional. Therefore, anything involving super bright colours and serif fonts is no.
Some updates:
- We are thinking about changing the brand to "FPR International Teacher Placement". We'd like to see some designs featuring this brand.
- A footprint does not necessarily have to be that central a theme in the logo. We're open to original suggestions.
This Drupal theme: http://refaktorthemes.com/preview/?theme=kalypso will be used for our site. Set the colour to blue, and that's what our future site will be based off of. A logo that goes well with this would be our preference.
Thank you and looking forward to seeing more designs.
cheers
Thomas

We think that a foot could be nicely incorporated into a design similar to this: https://twimg0-a.akamaihd.net/profile_images/1253836108/Enclosuremark-web.jpg

We've seen a few designs that look promising. We'd like to ask you guys to have another good look at this:

We like this because it's simple and can be adapted to any colour scheme. We'd like to see a sort of stylized foot incorporated, in a circular logo. Versions with text can be square and banner shaped.
thanks!

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We're extending the deadline to give designers more opportunity to submit designs; our branding is evolving and we'd like to see more designs in the core colours designed around our future website design.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We are still not totally satisfied with the logos submitted.
We do like the simplicity of some them, however a modern and fashionable logo is what we want.
Be creative! we're open to different interpretations on a foot, the letters FR or FPR etc.
