I posted this on another forum yesterday, and I haven't been happy with what I've seen, and I saw someone post a similar thread here, so I decided ... what the heck! Hopefully someone out there can design something nice =)

Just started a company... tight budget right now, but looking for a logo.

Domain name is BitVenue.com
Company name is: BitVenue Networks, LLC
Name we'd like on the logo is: BitVenue or BitVenue Networks

We're fans of darker colors. We haven't designed our layout yet, we'll base our layout for bitvenue.com off the logo that is made.

We were thinking a dark maroon and a dark blue, or something like that - but any color scheme is fine, as long as the colors are darker.

Also, we were thinking of something like bit (so a bit of binary in the logo, since half of our company name deals with bits), and a venue of some sort - perhaps an image of a virtual building or structure of some sort fading.

Use your imagination! but we like simple, yet creative. Nothing majorly complex please! Looking for something web2.0 ish as a comment.

Something I really like is this:

Text

But of course, I don't want anything near that since it's something entirely different from what we're doing, but you sort of see the direction I'm looking for - but feel free to go nuts and design something completely different from the example above if you have ideas!

-Matt

Agreed.

You can probably go to one of those logo mill websites and get something done with your $40.

Then tell me what is. I was basing my price off of the other post, and he was getting 3-4 replies already.

About a thousand dollars if you want something that isn't a joke.

and here's where you can ready why

I do graphic design professionally for 9 years. I have never charged $1000 for a logo. I typically do vector logos for between $300-$500.

The article is right but it doesn't mean you have to charge $1000 but it ain't going to come cheap is all.

Hey, if we're going to throw 010101011110 stuff in there, let's encode the name so only geeks can read it!

Also note the stunning use of lens flare. I usually charge an extra 50k for lens flare because it is soooo cool.
