Budget Bug Logo Design

We’re looking for well thought out logo for budgetbug.com that incorporates some type of “Cool” bug with (maybe dollar signs on the bug?). This is a discount membership website. People who join will get a money saving discount card that can be used at local participating retailers, restaurants, movie theaters, nightclubs and more.

Budget Bug

What we want designed is a logo using the name - Budget Bug

Please see the what I want list for minimum specifications.

Budgetbug.com will be dealing with both corporate participants (home depot, best buy, AMC theaters, etc) local businesses and consumers. The model of the company is built around pre-negotiated discounts for members (consumers) at specific locations in target City’s. It is important that the logo be both professional for our corporate partners, and interesting for our consumer audience.

We are looking ideally to have a unique brand-able “Bug” icon with personality as part of the look and feel of the overall logo. The logo will be used in traditional marketing materials, the  company website and the consumer side (backend) of the company website. We are not locked into any particular color, though black and green tend to lend themselves to a more gender-neutral presentation. We’ll certainly consider any logo that we believe stands out regardless of the colors selected. If you have any questions or need direction, we will be available over the next 7 days to provide any clarification you might require.

I believe this will be a great portfolio piece for any graphic designer. The owner of the company involved has the capital and resources to push this project the way it will need to be on a national scale. We've done this once before with a startup for this owner three years ago and they are now one of the most well known firms within their industry.

We're going to do it again with another of his start-ups and would love to have an outstanding logo from a graphic designer at 99designs to get our project off on the right foot. Thank you in advance for your time and your participation.
