Help ContentRising with a new logo

ContentRising

We run a website that provides young, talented filmmakers and storytellers access to entertainment industry professionals. Users can utilize our free production management system to create content, and then submit that content (and content from elsewhere if they wish) to our curated gallery. We screen the submissions for quality, and if they pass, they are presented in the gallery, where legitimate industry professionals will be on the lookout for the next big thing!

Please go to contentrising.comxa.com (our test page) to get a feel for our aesthetic. The Logo will be located in the upper left above the top nav bar (it's just white space now).

The logo should be simple and elegant, think Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc. but I would also like to incorporate a (perhaps abstract?) shark fin, visually evoking the “rising” element of our name and what we aim to do. Nothing too huge, just a small visual cue people can associate with us.

We are a hybrid entertainment-tech company and have an audience composed of both aspiring tech-savy content creators and established, more experienced content producers. We want this logo to really encapsulate our ideas about wanting to change how the industry works and provide new opportunities where there were none before. The Web and business cards are where it will be seen most, though we also want it to look good on marketing merchandise such as Tshirts.
