This contest is for the design for a "bindo labs" logo which should be made up of two components, "bindo" and "labs". The 1st part of the logo, "bindo", will also serve as the logo for the innovative ecommerce platform, Bindo. The 2nd part of the logo, "labs", may use a similar or different style as long as both parts go well together visually. In other word, the "bindo" in the "bindo labs" logo can be used as a standalone logo for bindo.com, a contemporary and innovative C2C e-commerce marketplace.

- prefer logotype
- prefer the un-capitalized "bindo" rather than "Bindo" or "BINDO"; "labs" is quite flexible as long as it goes well with "bindo"
- prefer non-italic

- "bindo" should be the highlight of the logo because it will also serve as the logo for bindo.com
- bold: people can easily identify our logo even at a distance.
- use special font and/or letter arrangement: to make the logo stand out
- casual, friendly, somewhat playful
- playful but not cheap or childlike
- prefer an awesome logo that reflects a spirit rather than the business nature (e-commerce)
- maybe colorful: feel free to experiment with colors
- maybe energetic
