$500 guarateed - web 2.0 style logo for new IT group brand

web 2.0 logo, clean, shows the company values

affordo

Hi, this project is to create an outstanding logo for the new brand “Affordo”.

First please let me explain the background as it is very important to get this logo 100% matching our brand values. I have a number of companies, ranging from hosting, domain names, security, development, software, consultation, marketing etc. They all have a common theme: to help online businesses either a) reduce costs and/or b) increase profit. All these companies will soon fall under the brand name of “afford”. For example ABC company is part of the Affordo group of companies.

Therefore, this logo needs to be very unique, work on both a white and black background (2 versions can be ok, one for black one for white) be clean and something that shows that we are a web 2.0 type company, we are very professional but cutting edge
I have put a list of logo’s i like below, please note that i have not put this list to show you want i want the logo to look like, *only* to give you an idea of my tastes. The logo will need to be impressive and have impact at both small sizes and large.

IMPORTANT – we would like the actual font to be something unique as well, just like how sony have their own twist on the font, not the same as sony obviously but that type of idea.\

I generally like the web 2.0 type feel, but other ideas most welcome, i like shadow / glass effect and attention to detail but with a “less is more” approach, ie not to busy.

I am not sure of colours, so please provide your ideas in a range of different colour schemes.

I would like the logo to be wide, ie not a logo that covers a square area.

I like my websites to work from 3 main colours ie grey + colour A + colour B, therefore this logo should have 2 colours that work well together that the site we develop will use.

To confirm, the brand name is: AFFORDO - i think it will look better in uppercase, but if you feel a lowercase version would look better then please feel free to try it out.
