Need some inputs on designing please: Concept & Logo

**salaam** · 05 March 2009, 10:23 AM

They are getting too complicated now, although I like the idea of using a chequered image.

In fact, I came across two concepts that I fell in love with (in a different thread)

Now what would they be? And I wonder what thread?

Playing on your black hole idea, what about something being sucked into the black hole?

Anything is good as long as it works in black&white... as mentioned, I think too that the glowing sphere versions are too complicated for a logo

i guess everyone'e right. I am going haywire... I was doing those designs at 4 AM in the morning and my brain was thinking something too fancy. I realized I first need to design the black and white versions... I have home out with a single design in multiple forms... I am completely sure I haven't done justice to Gary's piece but still I included some version...

I am nowhere near your experience in designing though I can attempt beating you in programming :P I am sure you know the threads already (because you are the one who initiated them

):

The reason I like them is because both have an effect of "containing" and "leading" some other entity (at least as I see it)... Anything on those terms would've been awesome... I am printing a huge banner but because I haven't finalized the logo yet, I think I will push it a little more...

It has received 2 votes (and the maximum) till now

The only issue I have with that is that the logo doesn't look that good on a black background... I'll see if something can be done with that...

I can definitely see the appeal of 'less is more'.

If you are referring to the encryption code, Black Cipher, then maybe this logo needs to reflect that aspect of encryption?

**purifier** · 06 March 2009, 03:35 PM

The name is there as a sign that we are trying to solve a problem that is encrypted by creating a black hole kind of an entity that represents the actual system which manages other leaders and projects. Whew... Sorry for the twisted explanation...
