Yes, indeed… LXIT has a logo. And a business card design. The concept has lead to some discussions between colleagues and friends, but no one made me a counter proposal so I went with my original idea.
Some patient designer at Design Outpost realized my idea after weeks of revisions and pixel tweaking. I’m happy with the final result, but as all things: it could be different, it could be better, it could be…
Some quotes from the project description as presented to the designers:
The idea behind the way I want to profile my company is as follows. It’s a company serving IT solutions (mainly web programming).Everyone associates IT guys with being (pussy) nerd. I would like to profile my company as being tough-ish, but still a bit nerdy.The tagline will be “When IT gets tough”. That way I want to express that I’m not only doing the easy stuff, but we handle tougher problems too.
That all said, the concept: If you think about who/what is tough, you might end up with a Viking.
So, I would like to have the head of a tough Viking wearing nerdy glasses as a company logo.
And some more:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
- Bit nerdy/geeky, but strong, tough and decisive
What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
- We tackle all you IT problems
Now I need to create a new company website, but because the logo took about a year to accomplish and clients projects get priority, this might take some months… Hopefully I find a designer willing to create a design for me (a small hint to b-visual).
Feel free to grab a digital version of my business card.
I don’t know exactly how I found out about Kiva.org, but once I visited their website I just had to become a member.
