Maelström Consulting is a young, dynamic IT & Telecom consulting firm. Its new logo & Business cards should convey these characteristics in a modern, minimalistic way.

Dark grey (charcoal or Teal, like the background in Photoshop for example) is a must. It could be paired to a fresh, warmer color like orange or even red. I also like white but I'm not sure I should go with three colors.

not sure

My new logo should be a representation of a Maelstrom which is a vortex in water. It is dynamic and full of energy. I chose this word because it's original and used both in French and English, something very important for my business as I'm based in Montreal, Quebec. The logo should also contain or make reference to a triangle in some way as it is used in Project Management to represent the equilibrium between its three driving constraints : Scope - Time - Costs.

    #117 I like the stacked text with logo on the left. Can you use the same font for Maelstrom as the on you sed for consulting. I would also like to see it with the color scheme I wanted (dark grey & orange). Thanks,

    #68, #69 : Nice color combination. I like the font too and the fact that is is italicized makes it look dynamic. Could you thicken the blades and shorten their bended part ? Thanks,

    #38, #46 I appreciate the effort but even the edgy one makes me think of a flower opening instead of a maelstrom. Thanks,

    #40 : A bit too sphere oriented but I like the enveloping effect. Can you try something more "edgy"? #7 : I prefer the edgy triangle version, will eliminate this one.

    #27 : Love the concept but it looks like an existing logo we have here in Quebec, can't recall the company. #14: Looks good, love the cleanliness. Not what I'm looking for but I'll keep it for further thinking. #6 : that's a new concept all right. Like it but it does not fit what I'm looking for. Will keep it for further thinking.

    #26 Love the shape & font. All caps lettering is good. I love the grey shade you used ; a bit paler than I wanted but it goes well with the blue. Can you try with the color scheme I proposed in the brief ? That's the runner up so far. Thanks!

    Attention Designers!! MycroBurst permits you to submit unlimited designs with unlimited variations. However, if you are providing 2 or 3 different color versions of the same logo in one draft, please make sure that if the particular draft gets finalized, each color version should be separated before you will send the final files. Thanks, MB/LDG/LS Team

    #2 : love the colors you used. The font is nice also but I think all caps would be better (or only the first M in caps). I love the shape but not sure of its meaning...stylized M & C ? #4 : This shape looks good. Can you try it with the colors I proposed in the brief ? The all caps lettering looks good but the font is a bit too refined. Would prefer something more modern. The tag line width adjusted to the Title width is nice also. #8 : My favorite so far even if the colors are not what I chose. Can you try it in dark grey & orange or dark gray & red. LOVE the font, keep it !

    20121007 important comment from owner to all designers : I forgot the following essential information when I created my Design Brief : 1) English Side - "Maelström Consulting" must appear in the English logo ; - "Strategic Project Management" must appear as the tagline 2) French Side - "Maelström Conseil" must appear in the French logo ; - "Gestion de projets stratégiques" must appear as the tagline Good luck to all !
