WANTED: Wow!-logo to expand business for MARKETFOCUS CONSULTING

MARKETFOCUS(TM) CONSULTING

UNLOCKING POTENTIAL

Since 2003, my company MARKETFOCUS(TM) CONSULTING has been assisting organizations to improve productivity and performance in sales & marketing. We do this through development and implementation of strategies, programs and training.

Our mission is to be a catalyst for accelerated growth by unlocking potential of people and brands.

We have 2 target markets: A) Large established FMCG and high-tech firms, and B) SMBs, Freelancers and Entrepreneurs.

A) For 10 years we worked across a wide range of industries. Our clients include multi-national FMCG corporations such as Asia Pacific Breweries, Beam Global, General Mills, Imperial Tobacco, Japan Tobacco and Sampoerna International, high-tech and IT firms such as Hewlett Packard and Nokia, specialized firms such as Coscom Computers and Noax Technologies, and well-funded start-ups such as Freedrinks.

B) To become less dependent on large projects, which are increasingly difficult to win, we are about to start offering our knowledge and tools to a wider audience: SMBs, Freelancers and Entrepreneurs. Our sales proposition for this audience is along the lines of "marketing and sales 2.0 - secrets and tools of multinationals that will boost your business at extremely low costs".

Our new website is currently under development and will reflect this new duality. The website will be kept in red, b/w and grey.

Hi,
I'm Rene, the founder and owner, looking for a kick-butt logo that stands out, is distinctive, clean and professional.
It should convey the concept of unlocking potential, e.g. the open lock. Please incorporate this "cliched" element in a unique way.
Should look great in a single color.
I want the new logo to create a "WOW!" amongst young target groups (Freelancers, Entrepreneurs etc.), leaning a bit towards the edgy, and at the same time to be taken seriousely by large corporate clients.
Avatar should be appropriately sized for use on Twitter and other social media sites.
The winning logo design will become the basis for additional design requirements, including business cards and stationary. I anticipate to work with the winning logo designer on these additional projects.
I can't wait to see your creative ideas. Thank you and best of luck!
