Description of the organization and its target audience
Emporia serves the resale industry, and aims to play the role of champion for the industry and most importantly, SMBs.
We will host conferences and events, build a community, speak on panels, write bylines, and be featured as a thought leader in media. Emporia does not make or sell any goods directly. We exist to promote the industry and our brands.
A good example of a company doing what Emporia hopes to do is Pattern Brands (https://patternbrands.com/pages/about-us). They are a parent company to many different brands and unite these different brands through their mission and belief.
We are currently using the command symbol as a logo because it represents a closed loop system, which speaks to the resale industry. This works in concept and can be explored further - we can't use it as is because it is the command symbol and not ownable.
Do not use the infinity or other public use symbols or icons. Same reason as above.
We’re looking for a custom logo that gets across the concept of what we’re building.
I want this brand to be polished and professional. We are a collection of technology brands and need to appear it. We need to be seen as trustworthy, committed, sincere, and community builders.
Industries we serve: resale, used goods, consignment
FYI - our technology is to resale what Square and Clover are to retail; what Toast is to restaurants.
If you use fonts that require a license, confirm with the client they're ok with it. For licensing reasons, it is better to provide your client with information on how to acquire the font rather than providing the actual files.
