Client Name: SourcePro Software

Final Selection

The Process:

The order form is designed to extract just the right amount of information from you to give our design team the best possible start to creating your perfect logo. At this early stage in the design process you are welcomed to offer as much or little direction that you may have for our designers. Some clients will have strong ideas about there logo for example they may suggest a color scheme, particular fonts or even point us towards an existing logo of a style they like. Whilst other clients may leave an open door for the creativity of our design team.

This client left us a good description of his company which always helps to give the designers a feel for the project. As far as specific design instructions go the client did not have any guidelines for us apart from stating he would like to see his logo contain blues, grays and reds.

We offer clients to look at the web page http://store.adobe.com/type/ to view a variety of fonts that can be used in their designs. This option is taken by a large majority of our clients as the font is an integral part of a business logo and clients will often have  strong views on the type of font they would like to see utilized in their logo designs.

Initial Design Concepts:

After you have submitted your order form it will be passed on to our experienced design team. The first stage is the brainstorming session where the designers (minimum 2) assigned to your project will share their initial thoughts on the best way to begin creating your ideal logo.

The designers will each produce several initial concepts based on your order form and there own creative input.

A design supervisor will then review all the concepts the team has produced and make a choice on which will be sent to the client (minimum of three choices).

It is now over to the client for the next step in the process. They now have the initial concepts to review and offer feedback.

We offer unlimited revisions so you have the all the mind for their company opportunity you need to transform an initial concept  into a slick, professional business logo.

At this stage of the order this is what he had to offer “We really like concept 4 but could we see it with color variations maybe exchanging the orange for gray and possibly having Pro all in capitals".

The client said on his order form that he did not have any clear idea about what he wanted his logo to look like. After seeing these designs the client now has some definite ideas as to the look he wants.

This clients experience is quite a common one as quite often customers can really sink their teeth into the project after seeing these initial concepts.


What happens if you don’t like any of the designs?

Due to our tried and tested methods this does not happen often but it does happen. Very occasionally a client will not particularly like any of the initial concepts we come up with. This is certainly not the end of the road. In this circumstance we will ask the client to revert back to our portfolio for inspiration and provide whatever feedback he/she can about the concepts presented. We will add some new designers to this project for some fresh input and its back to the drawing board. Armed with extra designers and new direction from the client we are confident  to hit the mark second time round.


Design Revision:

After submitting your feedback from the initial concepts it is back to the design team. They will review your suggestions and get to work on making the changes you require.

As you can see from this clients feedback he liked initial concept 4 and would like to see some variations of that design. This is what our team came up with.

As stated previously you have unlimited revisions to fine tune your design. At this junction Jon’s project was coming together but he had a few more suggestions to make to really complete his design. “We are really close with revision 4 if you trim off the extensions from the round object and add a small shadow beneath I think we are there".

.


Final Selection:

At this point the emphasis is back on the design team to revise the clients logo as per his latest requests. The changes were made and the revised design is sent back to the client . At this point the design could be revised further if necessary.

This client was more than happy with this design and gave us the go ahead to prepare his final logo pack.

After approving your logo design we will prepare your final pack. The final pack contains the logo in several different file formats to cover any use you may have for it.

eps - This is your fully editable master file. The eps vector file can be reduced and enlarged using the correct software without any loss of quality.
psd - We supply it with a transparent background too so it is great for use by a professional web designer.
jpg – Perfect for importing in to Microsoft Office applications like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access etc.
tif – This file is in CMYK color and is the file format requested for professional printing.

As well as these file types we also offer additional file formats on request to meet any specialist requirements providing we can actually produce them.
