Logo for THE REINVENTION INSTITUTE

Looking for an eye-catching and unique logo for our personal development company. The name says it all-- we help people reinvent themselves! We focus on career change, and our clients are upscale and savvy senior professionals. Our vibe is warm, classy, professional, and the logo needs to communicate that. Think elegant, simple, stylish, with a punch. The contest is for the logo, business card & 1 piece of stationery. **CLOSING CONTEST SOON-- NO MORE DESIGNS!

We're looking for a logo design that has a high 'WOW' factor (as in 'wow, what a cool business card').  Must capture a warm, classy & professional vibe.

Our clients are senior-level professionals and corporations, so the card must be impressive to that target market.  Yet we're a unique service, and the design must be different than the standard business card.

Our company color palette is tangerine, white and soft gray, with punches of red.  We like a clean look with a strong presence.  Interested in having iconography, could be incorporated into the company name or separate.  Themes are transformation and change, should be somewhat abstract.  Although our website has a key unlocking a puzzle piece, we're moving away from that imagery.  No tools either-- that was for the workbook, not our company overall!

We've been playing with taglines; none have really stuck but extra $55 bonus to the designer who suggests one that we like!  Of course it must look good with the design too.

Contest is for:

1. Logo & business card (let's see designs in that format)

2. One piece of stationary (probably a 5x8 card)

NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN PLANNING YOUR DESIGN:

1. The soft gray might be printed as a silver metallic, so consider that when using it for the words.

2.  Our current tagline is 'Transformation Advisors'- either work this in or suggest your own, but make sure it's professional and not too 'life-coachy'.
