Creative Implementations

NOTE TO DESIGNERS: I am strongly considering awarding this contest to one of the current entries. If you have something spectacular to show me, now's the time!

Creative Implementations is a new company that will rebrand my existing web development services (http://www.wildrosewebsites.com) as well as combine them with my new direction, business and personal coaching. I am partway through the process of becoming a certified Profiting From Your Passions Coach.

Services will encompass three main areas (likely with significant overlap!):

• Personal/life consulting/mentoring

--- Consulting to reveal your passions, skills, and possibilities

--- Mentoring while you make your possibilities real

• Business consulting/mentoring

--- Consulting to reveal your “sticking points” and possibilities

--- Mentoring while you make your possibilities real

• Website consulting/development

--- Consulting to reveal your website needs and possibilities

--- Design/development to make your possibilities real

• For personal/life consulting/mentoring

--- Women in transition: preretirement or early retirement; relocated, especially for a partner’s transfer; children now old enough for school; children have left home

--- Women who want multiple income streams as a lifestyle entrepreneur

• For business consulting/mentoring

--- Women solopreneurs

--- Women owners of very small businesses (<10 staff)

• For web consulting/development

--- Women solopreneurs

--- Women owners of very small businesses (<10 staff)

These women are open-minded and willing to change. They want a good balance between their business and personal lives. And while they may work alone they understand the benefits of having someone to brainstorm with or outsource to.

I would like a clean, timeless look where the logo can be used and recognized on its own without the company name. For this woman-owned business that serves women, the logo can be a little on the “girly” or “artsy” side – but still must appeal to business owners as well as individuals.

Bold, rich colours are better than pastels. Multiple colours are fine as long as the logo doesn’t get too busy. Avoid gradients.

The logo should be on a white background. Do not include the tagline.
The logo must be very legible onscreen and still work at smaller sizes for business cards, letterhead and stationery. It also must have a strong shape, so it works as well in B&W/greyscale as colour.

File formats required are:
• Print file format, CMYK - .ai
• Web file format, RBG – high resolution .jpg and layered .psd or native Fireworks .png (not a flattened exported .png)
• Colour specs - Pantone colours for CMYK, hex colours or .png file for RGB
• Font specs –do not convert fonts to outlines; use free and freely redistributable fonts that are legally allowed to be sent

On completion Creative Implementations will own all design rights, intellectual property and copyright associated with the design.
