After selecting our new name, we needed to start rebranding our visual image and all our marketing materials.
The first, and arguably the most important visual element to rebrand, was our logo.

We initially asked for two logo design concepts
to be developed, knowing that we would
select one of those and refine it to meet our
marketing vision.

So that she could better understand what we
had in mind, Melanie sent us a very detailed
logo questionnaire to complete.

It forced us to drill down on the marketing
messages we wanted our logo to represent,
including the personality of our brand and the
image we wanted to portray.

The look we wanted was professional
AND vibrant - two characteristics that aren't
always put together in the same sentence.

The logo had to be something that was modern
(but not too abstract), instantly recognizable,
and that would work in a variety of sizes and
on both light and dark backgrounds.

We knew we wanted to use a strong orange
somewhere in the logo to represent the sparks
of a fire.

We were thinking about using a
blue/green/purple palate of colors but left
the choice to Melanie for the first round to
see what she recommended.

We were also looking for something that we
could adapt to use for sub-branding,
including the new product groups we were
planning. Concept 1 lent itself better to that
aim.

We wanted a slightly different look for the
pencil, and a different palate of colors for the
sparks. After a few rounds of tweaking, we
settled on the final version.

We think it represents what we stand for:
professional, customizable content, written
with flare, to help fire up your business.
