- Satisfaction

It should be:
- Simple, striking and memorable

- Subtle wittiness is appreciated
- Work with and without the word “Spot"
- Work well when used in a square-shaped app icon

Company description:

"Spot" is your personal connection to restaurants, shops, hotels, art galleries, and other venues that you visit. Our app provides convenient access to a venue’s services through a familiar chat interface on your mobile phone, making your life easier and letting venues get to know their customers better. It's better service, wherever you go.

Target group:

It should work in a wide range of situations and sizes, such as on an app icon, business cards, posters, outdoor banners, etc. It should also work in both color and black & white.

Colors, favourites and other requirements

Attached are some logos we think do a good job being simple, recognizable, and representative of the company and product:

- Flipboard: simple, bold, and mimics the flip behavior of the app
- Soundcloud: sound wave combined with cloud
- Beats Music: play button inside B-shaped music note

We are a chat-based app, but we’re a little concerned about having yet another “chat bubble” logo. However we are open to designs that find a fresh way to incorporate it.

We will provide feedback on submissions that we think are headed in the right direction. For submissions that do not receive feedback, it is probably better to explore another direction rather than continuing in the same one.

      You need directions in order to get to the right spot, correct? That was my idea with this logo. Chat bubble with arrows create letter S. Smart and easy to remember. Works as an icon when scaled down. If you like this I will tune it a little bit more to get better proportions.

      Maybe you will not like this proposal but it was fun for me while I was drawing it. I wanted to incorporate few things in one logo, to make it clever.

      So this is little bit different design. Search eye inside the chat bubble. Simple, easy to remember and suitable for app icon.

      The eye feels creepy...

  • Logo design # 591737 for Startup that makes your life more convenient on the Submit complaint
    1. Description by designer UrosCuoreSportivo:

      This is a further evolution of my design. I find it more simple and minimalistic. Icon incorporated in the logo. Combination of spotlight and chat bubble in one. You can also use the icon as a pin in case you want to mark the place on the map. Can work with colors, so you can get the British roundel as an example.

  • Logo design # 591709 for Startup that makes your life more convenient on the Submit complaint
    1. Description by designer UrosCuoreSportivo:

      I got two chat bubbles incorporated into the spotlights that are overlapping each other.
      My first association is the search result got through the chat between user and service. It can work with gradients on the darker or brighter background as well as two color option.
      What do you think?

  • Logo design # 591315 for Startup that makes your life more convenient on the Submit complaint
    1. Description by designer UrosCuoreSportivo:

      So my first association was a spotlight. Result of the search. Two directional light pointing at one spot.Can work as a gradient, colored or black/white option.
      Without text its an icon for the app.
      Hope you like it.

    2. joeb.w says :

      The "spotlight" idea is clever... could it possibly be done with overlapping stylized chat bubbles instead?

    3. UrosCuoreSportivo says

      Of course, I'll see what I can do.
