Creative Brief


MidnightSQL

MidnightSQL

SQL is smarter at Midnight

No

We're an IT company. We manage databases. You can find out about our services here: http://MidnightSQL.com
We also run a website of free database tutorials (www.MidnightDBA.com) and it has a logo we're currently using for this as well, but the 2 designs don't have to stay the same.

We're not a stuffy company. We work hard, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. The company is called MidnightSQL because of our website MidnightDBA.com. It's a known website and we're playing off of that concept.

So I'd like people to associate us with being experts in our field, but also being able to have fun with it.

I'd also like the logo to be able to be embroidered on a shirt, but it's not strictly necessary. Having a nice logo is #1.

A good example of a company in our field that has fun with their design is here. http://www.brentozar.com/
They do the same thing we do and they've gone with a modern, fun approach while not being stupid about it.

So if you can go with the midnight theme and have fun with it then we'll have a winner.

Also, we're called MidnightSQL because we tend to do a lot of our stuff late at night. We do emergency work for companies so we get calls late... if that helps any.

The official name of the company is:
MidnightSQL Consulting, LLC
but you can just put MidnightSQL in the logo.

Currently we have a moon and stars theme on MidnightDBA.com. Feel free to stick with that theme, but make it fresh. Also feel free to go completely off the beaten path. There are many things associated with nighttime so you're wide open really.

    I just and an idea. Now sure where it could go, but instead of always spelling out MidnightSQL why not just show a nice big clock set to midnight and then put SQL in front of it or on the face and some scene around it... more symbolism ya know? Or put some cool computer scene on the face of the clock and then put SQL sitting in front of it. I just had a flash in my mind of like a big grandfather clock with a "SQL" couch sitting in front of it... Brainstorming out loud. Maybe you pros think it's dumb, I don't know.

    We got one concept that looked like it had been sketched... possibly even by a child, hard to say. But it's a fabulous concept that I'd like to see someone follow-up on. Have some fun with it. A little more info. We're both certified masters in sql, we teach all over the world, we host a weekly webshow about sql, she's got long read hair, I've got dark brown hair that goes kinda wild cause I go months w/o a haircut. However, I can say from what I've seen so far that the star theme is being taken way too literally and being overused. Sure, put something in there about stars if you like, but don't go overboard. We've also gotten a couple with highly abstract designs. They were really nice, but I don't want something abstract. I want something that says US. Thanks.

    I notice that nobody's played with the clock theme yet.
