Logo Design for a Technology Startup

Socialmatica

We are a technology startup in the marketing and advertising space. Our product is about finding the leaders in a market for our clients.

Our logo needs to feel like a solid, stable, big, and bold company. Think Visa, Brocade, Oracle, Cisco.

Our placeholder logo can be found at http://www.socialmatica.com.

Target audience will be high level marketing executives.

1. No Web 2.0 - although we are a technology start up we do not want a candy looking logo with a reflection like so many others.
2. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
3. Nothing "cute". We are a serious company making a serious difference to the world of marketing.
4. We would like you to play with different uses of a mostly black logo with red accents.
5. Socialmatica is one word. Do not try to split it into Social Matica

logos we like:
http://www.cisco.com/
http://usa.visa.com
http://www.oracle.com/index.html
http://www.brocade.com/index.page

We like the red and black of the Brocade logo.

The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
