Prize value: US$200.00
Details:
We’ve just set up a new company called “Team Schnitzel”, for which we need a logo(type).
It’s a web application development company, focusing on Ruby on Rails development and consulting (but this doesn’t need to be reflected in the logo). We also develop and maintain our own sites under the Team Schnitzel brand.
About the name: I (the founder) lived in Germany for the first 30 years of my life and recently moved to the UK. I liked the name because it allows me to position the company and offer its services in an international context while still hinting at its origins. :)
Here’s my current idea of what the logo should look and feel like:
- just text (“Team Schnitzel”)
- no images (specifically, no images of schnitzels :P)
- similar in appearance to the Guitar Hero logo (but with a slightly less “rocking” font please! The important bit is: “team” at the top, “schnitzel” below.)
- black/white/gray so it can be used black on white and white on black.
Now, this is really just my current idea — if you have any cool ideas that are completely different, please don’t hesitate to submit them, I’d love to have a look at them. :)
However, the following bits are important:
- the logo must be usable in both black on white and reverse (white on black) scenarios (I need to put it on paper invoices as well as websites, which don’t always have white/bright background colors). Once again, have a look at the Guitar Hero logo linked above to see what I mean.
- the logo should be able to somewhat nicely fill a square block (I want to print moo.com stickers), so please no long-ish horizontal logos!
- the logo should still be recognizable in relatively small sizes (so it can be included in website footers et al)
Some keywords and notions to keep in mind while designing the logo:
- professional, but fun
- “ninja task force” attitude
- clear, direct, “no fuss”
- “we make good stuff”
Looking forward to seeing your submissions! Good luck!

Congrats!

Though I find it interesting the Comp Holder chose a design that does not resemble like the guitar hero ‘look’ since he emphasized it so much.
