Creative Brief


Logo for off-grid solar power company in Africa.

Empower Solar

No

This is a logo for a new solar power system distributor in East Africa (South Sudan and Uganda). We sell, install and maintain small home solar systems, mostly for low-income families in off-grid communities. Our distinctive is making solar available where it wasn't before and affordable where it was too expensive. Our primary products are Eight19's IndiGo (http://www.eight19.com/technology/indigo-delivers-power-grid-communities) and Barefoot Power (http://www.barefootpower.com/).

We want a distinctive but simple logo that inspires and uplifts. It would be great to convey the idea that "solar power is now within your reach", even if you have a very low income. This doesn't need to be graphically represented but rather a feeling imparted by the colors, shapes, design, etc.

The logo needs to be simple enough that it can be used easily on business cards, t-shirts, signs and other printed materials.

blue plus orange and/or yellow. please use color scheme inspired by and complementary to IndiGo/Eight19 (http://www.eight19.com/technology/indigo-delivers-power-grid-communities) and Barefoot Power (http://www.barefootpower.com/), but not confused with mobile network MTN (http://mtn.co.ug/) which uses yellow and blue.

not sure

This needs to be simple and clean but not so plain that it looks like something I made after playing with different fonts for a few minutes. It needs to be distintive and creative while maintaining this simplicity.

One thing I'd rather not see is a logo focused around a sun graphic as about half of solar companies seem to use something like that.

    Like bold and bring colors of draft #3 and draft #4, especially orange, though maybe a slightly brighter shade of blue (but not as bright as in draft #1, #8 and #6). Like the direction and distinctiveness of the e/s object too, but I'm uncertain about the background sun - it could work, but maybe try a different style.

    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 Team
