waltonsearch.com

Tagline:
none

Desired Color Scheme:
Leaning toward red, then possibly blue but open

Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)

Immediate use of design is for business card and parking front page of website.

Would be willing to work with winner on further designs for other uses - letterhead, website, etc.

Search Firm works with employers and candidates to fill positions at companies. Even though a search firm does involve people "searching" the use of images with people, looking glasses and lighthouses are overdone in the industry and would prefer not to have them.

We are looking for something not completely obvious to "searching" or people. The logo should be clean, bold, professional and distinguishable from other logos.

Colors-First preference would be red then blue (any hue of either) with possible black included or combination. Open to all other color ideas however I do not think I would use pink, orange or yellow.

I will provide feedback and direction daily if not throughout the day. Please feel free to post questions that would aid in your design.
