Logo Design

We need a logo, created by a professional designer, for a web hosting company. The name of the company is iSpeed or iSPEED ("i" character could also be upper case but must have a point over it to make the text readable). The logo should contain a distinctive short sign so that it can be recognizable even if it the text part is not written (think of Macromedia "M" sign, Nike's sign, etc. - you can recognize the brand even if you don't read the whole "Macroedia" or "Nike" text). The logo must comunicate speed, quality, hi-tech, friendliness; we would prefer warm colours but that is not a must. It will be used on websites and paper brochures. The completed work should be in a vector format (Illustrator, Freehand) with a raster preview. Bidders must have worked with logos before; in their bid should show some previous works examples and some raster sketches of their proposals (two or three ideas). Selected bidder will be chosen because of his/her prototypes, so we are sorry but generic bids will not be considered. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform vector image (Illustrator or FreeHand) + raster preview (.gif or .bmp or .tif)
