$100 Logo Design Contest

[aiphred]

I need a logo for a new internet start up called Assisted Install.com

Color: reds? or gray or black feel free to be creative. It would be good if the logo layout and colors matched the current web site sample page attached

Size: big enough to print on biz card but mostly for web page use, 300 DPI ?

A transparent background would be good as the logo will be used on the website as well

Contest End date: noon April 13, 2012

$100 Prize money, PayPal

For reference I have included my existing logo, a sample page from my website under construction and a concept I have been working on that seems to work but I am wide open to suggestions. On the existing concept I was hoping to color key the missing puzzle piece to font color on the "Assisted Install" lettering.

On the sample web page I need to replace the "DIY Control4 logo" with the new assisted install logo so whatever wins will need to fit that space.

Some background info:
Assisted Install is a new Internet start up company focused on helping end users install high end automation systems and theater controls themselves. The current existing model requires a dealer to spec, program and install the system. My new approach is to spec and program the system and then send it to an end user for installation providing support via phone, skype, IM and email. Thus the puzzle piece concept, i.e., the missing piece of the installation puzzle. We feel there is a huge market of do-it-yourselfers out there who are ready to install and configure these systems if they just had the right support path.

I’m wide open to ideas. I am not married to the puzzle house concept but I do like it. I was looking for more depth, shading, etc to last version of the puzzle house and a better font/look/appeal.

Looking forward to your creative ideas and expertise.

Thanks,

Thanks for the great submission. Very creative. I like the layout of the "Assisted Install" text. I think I need to keep the logo itself more generalized since we are trying to reach four potential markets, home theater, lighting control, comfort control and data reporting and we are not sure what this new concept will morph into over the long run. We just know there is a need for the service out there as it relates to Control4. If it helps, please see control4.com/residential/solutions and youtube.com/watch?v=F9GxvT7_Sro

Thanks,

Here are my concepts. Please let me know anything

[aiphred]

Wow, now we're talkin'. Looks Great. I like concept 2 best so far. I like the different widths on the text. Would like to see some other colors also please.

Please color key the word "assisted" to the last puzzle piece
Make "assisted" the bolder word
Shade under the "assisted Install" to match shading under logo possibly?
Please also lay one out Portrait as in example below
can we work ".com" into it somehow? i realize it's pretty wide already

Thanks, and good work!

Thank you for the updates. Could I see one more with the colors on the house swapped? Leave the text the same. Thanks again. wonderful work!

I like the .com concept. would it also work on the landscape layout? any other ideas since this will be an internet based business?

Thanks again.
