Design Text

Lucence Consulting Engineers

Tagline

Innovation - Safety - Quality

Include this tagline in my logo.

Yes

Describe who/what this design is about

"Lucence" is a rare noun form of the adjective lucent, meaning glowing or illuminating. This illumination occurs when the light of correct concepts and principle are applied to solve a problem. The illumination of creative thought and ideas. A few suggestions to get things started include representations (simple) of buildings under construction, light bulbs, sun, light, efficiency, simplicity. I will make the contest public so feedback (# stars) is visible to all. I hope this does not impede creativity and result in premature convergence on a concept or a narrow range of concepts. I will likely give "5 stars" to best of several very different concepts to keep the juices flowing.

My feedback system will be the following - 0 stars: try something else; 1 star: some potential; 2 stars: more potential; 3 stars: good start, can be improved with feedback, which I will provide; 4 stars: very appealing, minor feedback to improve; 5 stars: a top candidate among 5 which may change based on the current design pool.

Would be great to include the tagline, but I understand it could clutter an otherwise great design. I suggest including it and providing an alternative without it if you believe it clutters. I any event, the tagline provides additional messages I would like to convey.

Overall, an ideal logo would not too detailed such that it cannot be easily recognized seen from a distance and yet be attractive up close, with the potential for color gradations. This is the second try with a contest for this logo. I am working 1-to-1 with the winning designer for the last contest to refine a design, but I feel like I may have converged too quickly. I am learning more about directing creative efforts, so I will refrain from suggesting a specific starting point more than I have already offered.

Good Luck!

Designers, To provide additional ideas for logos, may I suggest using some structural steel elements and partially constructed, simple steel structures? This is for a structural engineering firm, after all. Do an internet search for "structural steel graphics" and you will find a wealth of ideas! Thank you! Warren

Designers, The "swoosh" is a feature I would like to minimize. It is seen as a fad by some and will likely become quickly out dated. Does not hurt to try it out, but try to make things work with out it! Thank you! Warren

Designers, The use of the progressive fonts sizes for "Lucence", "Consulting Engineers", and "Innovation Safety Quality" is very attractive. Definitely a feature to consider as the contest moves ahead. Thank you! Warren

Designers, The use of LCE in the logo is interesting. I wonder if it might infringe on the use others have made of it. A quick search on Google revealed many companies using LCE in their logos. Not bad to try a few of these, but lets try to move in other directions. "Lucence" is my focus, because that is more meaningful and unique. I would rather have a more interesting and eye-catching graphic than just LCE. Thank you! Warren
