Logo - Customer Experience Labs needs a New Logo

We need a modern, sophisticated logo for a research company. We help companies improve their websites (research consultants) and we work with some of the top internet companies in the world - so we need a compelling logo that looks fresh and professional and will be memorable!

Customer Experience Labs

Customer Experience Labs is an innovative research company that does consumer research with some of the world's leading brands. We are launching our new website next month and we need a logo to lead the way. There is no website for you to look at. We will tweak the color palette to match your logo.

Our company does consulting and research for well known household brand names so this is your chance to have your logo seen by companies like Dell, Expedia, Hotels.com and other Fortune 500 companies...

The partners of this company are very serious hardworking guys - but we also like to have fun and have a playful side too.

Design should be simple and not too busy. Needs to be clean and fresh and professional, trending towards modern fonts and design, as we deal with many technology and companies who use the web as a major channel. Logo must be scalable (vector) to use on business cards, powerpoint decks. NOTE: If your design is chosen, final deliverable must include versions that will work on both black and white backgrounds (and a copy as a png file). Please read through feedback on current designs. ***NOTE*** we are not asking for a black and white version. Some designers may have misread that part of our design brief early. We definitely need a version with a white background and a version that will work with a black background. If you'd like to provide a 3rd black AND white version that's fine but that's above and beyond the requirements.

- no rainbows or unicorns please :)
