Logo for a mobile app firm in the midwest US

Treyis Technology LLC

We are a new mobile application development company based right in 'the heartland' of the Midwest United States. We develop smartphone and tablet applications for individuals and businesses in many vertical industries including agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing, farming, manufacturing, outdoors, equine, renewable energy, and more. This is a new startup company with no corporate branding yet and we're currently looking to start with a company logo. We'll be responsive and help answer additional questions, and provide more that just star feedback. We will also leave PUBLIC feedback for the benefit of all designers entered or considering entry, so if you cant hang with that, please don't enter.

Any individual drawn towards innovative utility and lifestyle applications to simplify their hard working non-urban lifestyle. This would include people in industries or activities including but not limited to, crop and livestock production, owners and operators of small farm / hobby farms, machinery and implement owners, operators, and manufacturers, outdoorsmen and women who enjoy hunting, fishing, and other outdoor sports. Horse owners, boarders, and veterinarians. The list goes on, but this should give you an idea.

The logo should reflect the quality and strong work ethic of the midwest culture, yet strike a balance with "work hard - play hard" professionals. Obviously we're not after bright contrasting or flashy hip-hop designs, but rather a contemporary theme that expresses quality, strength, integrity, trust, and purity without being too obviously bold, rigid, or concrete.

We are looking for a typeface logo and an icon to accompany it. "Treyis Technology LLC" (could be abbreviated to "Treyis") should be a typeface design, contemporary and simple. Different variations are encouraged, e.g. "Treyis" could be the primary focus of the logo with "Technology LLC" less dominant.

The icon is where we need your creativity in proposing a lot of different options, the more the better. We would like to avoid using animals, cartoons, or any icon that could be perceived as 'stereotypical' of the historical midwest or rural lifestyles ( e.g. no pitch forks or red barns).

There is no limitation on colors. Three dimensional designs, shadows, and gradients are encouraged.

Ideally, we'd like the icon in the logo to be easily remembered and recognized by our customer base, and not obviously similar to anything else out there. Therefore, we'd encourage you to please not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

This logo will be used on our websites, stationary, letterhead, business cards, all of which will follow a very clean, and minimalistic theme so the company logo itself stands out.
