The Design Brief

The information you kindly provide here forms the basis of the creative brief; without which nothing much is possible.

How Did You Find Me?*
I would be grateful if you could tell me how you found me, or who referred you? For example, via: Google, Twitter, personal recommendation etc.

Logo Package Choices
Please choose one of the 3 budget groups below, then select one price band that you are prepared to invest. This will be the total amount unless your brief, and expectations, do not match the proposed price. If this is the case I will let you know so that we can work through the options.
£6000—£12000*
If you are a small to large business/shop/skilled professional with/without physical locations/premises, a consultant, and generally any person or business that requires a solid visual identity to ensure that you can rely on your brand to attract the right clientele, then you are generally looking over £6000+. This will ensure that I have the time and means to fully research and understand everything about what you do and what you need to say. Time is crucial when developing a strong visual identity, it needs to reflect the personality of your company as well as send out specific messages to potential customers. Larger projects usually takes at least a month, usually closer to two months to complete.
£3000—£6000*
Suitable if you are looking for something more substantial than just a standalone logo design. Maybe you have other visual brand identity requirements that a single logo design will not achieve for you. This will provide you with an identity solution including: substantial advice and consultation during and after the initial project ends.
£1250—£3000*
If you are looking for a standalone logo mark, and are: a small business, self employed, freelancer, consultant, small web based business, or looking for a application icon design then you are looking at around £1250—£3000.
Sub £1500
Sometimes available to take on sub £1500 projects if: the conditions tie in nicely with my existing schedule, the project is reasonably straightforward, and has reasonable expectations. It may also cover work needed to smarten up/refresh an existing logo. Will also consider non-profit work. Please explain your requirements (above) with your available budget.
Schedules
Please provide me with information relating to you ideal completion date. The completion date relates to the date you expect/need/would like the physical logo files in your hand.
Project Completion Date*
Urgent—Help Me! (Optional)*
If you have a particularly urgent requirement, then I may be able to help you depending on my work load. A premium will be applicable for any Urgent work started within a week and completed within two weeks.

Logo & Brand Information
Please answer all as completely and as descriptively as possible. This is not the time to rush or skip the filling in for a form.The idea with all this is for me to be able to get a good idea of what you do, and I can only do that with information.
Logo Wording*
Please detail exact wording for logo. For me its 'imjustcreative', for Coke its 'Coca-Cola' etc.
Tag Line (Optional)
If you have an existing tag line, which needs to form part of the logo, then please enter this here. If you don't have a tag line then I would recommend that we work on creating one for you. A good tag line can often form the platform for the visual direction of the logo.
Do You Need A Tag Line?*
What Are You, Your Business, All About?*
Please describe what you are all about. This is where I need you to be descriptive and detailed as possible. This is when you need to sell what you do so I can understand, to the best of my abilities, what I am designing a logo and/or brand identity for.
Elevator Pitch*
This is a refined and optimised version of above. Think along the lines of the Elevator Pitch. You have just a minute, or two, to enthusiastically explain and describe what you do before I exit the elevator.
Keywords & Descriptive Phrases*
List any words, keywords or phrases that best sum up the overall emotion, mood and impression you need the logo/brand to convey. This is all about creating the appropriate perception in your target market.
Their Perception*
Outside looking in. What would be the ideal range of feelings and emotions you would like potential clients, customers, general public to feel when they view or think about your brand?
Target Audience*
Please list, or describe, the type of people that need to be influenced by the logo when they see it. This is very important as it's all about ensuring your message is conveyed to the right audience.
Specific Perceptions? (Optional)
If you have a specific,and quite niche/specialised target market, then please detail more here.
Unique Or Common?*
- We Are Unique
- We Are One Of Many
- We Want To Be Different
Does this logo need to compete with existing similar businesses, companies etc? Or are you more of a unique business idea: there will be no major competition in terms of identity to really make a bigger or more stylish splash?
Direct Competition*
Please list any local, regional and/or worldwide competitors. We absolutely need to know how your competitors brand and position themselves before we can create a visual identity for you. Please provide me with URL's of websites andnames of companies that you compete with, or have a similar agenda to.
Indirect Competition (Optional)
This is about being prepared. There may be companies that you don't compete with directly, but do choose, or have to, take notice of what they are up to. They may not be competing yet, but you might feel that one day soon they could be sitting on your doorstep.
Number Of Staff*
This gives me an idea of the scope of the project in terms of staff and client awareness for the identity.
Premises Of Business*
Are you home based, or work in offices? If you have multiple offices and/or locations then please also specify.

Optional Information
If you have any particular ideas, or thoughts about the logo then please use this section to help communicate these with me. None of these fields are required.
What Logo Designs Inspire You?
In the absence of a client meeting, this helps me get into your 'mind'. See what wavelength you are on, and also if the wavelength you are on is indeed suitable. Please provide URL's of any logos you like. I also have my own Logo Design Gallery called Logo Stack: http://imjustcreative.com/logostack
Colours
Are you looking to avoid or implement certain colours? Please list colours that you feel would have a positive or negative impact.
Specifics?
Are there any images/symbols/icons you like, images you feel sum up who you are, what you do? You may have a crest, some personal symbol you would like to include. You may just have some random thoughts you would like to share about where the logo design 'could' travel.
