The Grindstone App

Grindstone

Grindstone is a platform built to help students find opportunities, make money, and build meaningful connections with a platform that allows both generations to connect in one place.
There are students in every high school who want to make a difference and value the community. Whether they are coding after class, taking photos for the yearbook, playing in the school band, or spending their weekends mowing neighbours lawns, they are always looking for new opportunities. Grindstone allows you to connect with these motivated high schoolers and find hard workers without having to pay exorbitant professional prices.
Adults are always looking for help with tasks and random jobs. Oftentimes they post their jobs and tasks on Nextdoor and Facebook, and then they wonder why teens aren't interested in their jobs. The problem is, they are posting it in the wrong place. Teens don't use Nextdoor and Facebook.

In today's age, finding an interesting job as a student is an archaic process. The jobs offered to students are low level and do not offer much responsibility.

Not only are high school students today taking much harder classes, but they are also bearing much more responsibility as college is more competitive than ever, and so is the job market.

In turn, students are drifting away from standard jobs such as working at fast-food restaurants and are leaning more towards doing gigs and resume building opportunities, which are not easy to find, as many are just word of mouth.

We are looking for a simple, modern logo. Something we can both use as a favicon and as a full-size logo including text. We want to be unique, but very memorable. When designing, simplicity should be at its core, geometric designs, please stray away from literal imagery. I've attached a few other company logos we love. Thank you so much, we are truly looking forward to seeing your work!

In the full logo, having the full Grindstone name is important, akin to slack, Monday, doordash and asana where they have a full logo and a smaller logo for their favicon usage and icon usage.
