It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs

We are looking for a re-style of our logo and corporate identity.

When PSL (or mother concern Sweda) started in the late '70's the main focus were watches and electronics. The logo was based on one of the main selling items, a watch. You can clearly see the watch face and the hands if you look at our logo.

But today, in 2014, PSL is aiming to be more of a generalist when it comes to it's products.
Still very much focused on electronics and watches. But for instance, we have added a home section with kitchen items and we have added more non-electronic items over the last couple of years.

Since 2013 we have a new pay-off with our logo, 'The Premium Design Company'.
We would like to keep this pay-off intact, and even the Word Mark is to our satisfaction. But if there is a good suggestion we are open to it.

Our logo and corporate identity need to be more general now.
It needs to emit that we are a creative and original company.

It should not be too fancy, but modern and simple.
It could just be the company name as a word mark, but a good symbol or icon to represent our company is also a possibility.

We would like to see the logo implemented on stationary, envelops, business cards and e-mail signature.

If chosen we want to have a corporate identity manual.

Target group

Target group: B2B market, but the corporate identity can have a retail feeling to it.

Colors, favourites and other requirements

On a white background our logo has always been red (PMS 186C).
The red is seen as a signal color, and a lot of our marketing tools are based on this color (like exhibition stands etc.) We would like to keep this as a main color.

But on a colorful background there should be no problem to use the logo in white or in grey.

Beste opdrachtgever,

Hierbij een huisstijl voorstel. Om een moderne design sfeer over te brengen, heb ik gekozen voor een gerecycled postpapier i.c.m. de rode kleur. Hierdoor ontstaat er een eigenwijze uitstraling, met een hoge herkenbaarheid.

Ik hoop jullie met deze ontwerpen te kunnen inspireren,

met een vriendelijke groet,

Tjeerd van der Velde

This contest is finished. Its not possible to reply anymore.

Creativiteit en originaliteit. Deze opdracht schreeuwt om een logo dat sterk toepasbaar is op diverse media. In plaats van een beeldmerk dat alle diensten moet gaan omvatten, heb ik een woordmerk ontwikkeld. Een eigenwijs merk, met de eenvoud van design.

Het woordmerk werkt perfect in groot formaat, klein formaat en op verschillende ondergronden. Door de horizontale compositie is het uitermate geschikt voor het web. Ik hoop dat ik u kan inspireren met mijn ontwerp!

Met een vriendelijke groet,

Tjeerd van der Velde
