We have a logo but it's bad - can you help us create a new one?

Mentrop Houtbewerking

Mentrop Houtbewerking provides custom made woodcrafting services for companies (and sometimes consumers with very specific demands).

Our range of clients and activities is broad. For example: we create cheese platters for a cheese factory but also a build to order reception desk for a dentist practice. Or wooden stalls and flooring for a big event. Or lounge furniture for the employee roof terrace for a big business. You get the idea...We love interior design projects and the design part of our work is something we want to distinguish ourselves with.

Our unique selling points and core values are flexibility (very quick delivery in 1 to 3 weeks), high handmade quality and the ability to customize exactly to the customers requirements.

Our name is made up of the name of our founder ("Mentrop") and what we do ("Houtbewerking" means woodcrafting.

Business to business - no specific target group.

We already have a logo and you can see it on our site http://www.mentrophoutbewerking.nl. Now you understand why we are running this contest :)

Please disregard the current websites design completely. The new logo will be put on our still to build new website which will be based on the WorkSpace theme from press75 which you can see here:
http://www.press75.com/the-work-pla…ess-theme/

Of course the theme color scheme can be adjusted to fit your logo.

As for the logo we want it to be speaking: professional, design, trust.

We dont have any specific wishes like preferred color schemes for the logo and are open to any of your ideas. However we want the logo to be strong and solid so a handwriting font or feminine design will probably not be liked. Also the logo should ooze more on the"design" and less on handcraft aspect of our business.

Also we'd like to have a small pictogram that we can use elsewhere. Like Apple has their apple and Warners has their W icon, Converse their Star etc. Not a hard requirement but nice to have.

We expect to get hires original source files of the winning logo (standard practice we assume?).

We will review and rate all designs and provide detailed comments where needed.

If you miss information please let us know!

Thanks in advance for your participation on behalf of Mentrop Houtbewerking.
