Fine & Deo needs a fresh new logo that reflects a professional, contemporary web 2.0 look and feel.

The new logo design should be bold and bright with sophisticated colors. Possible colours to consider:

- dark blue (traditionally corporate)
- earth tones such as taupe/tan (condo construction) as well as any other complimentary colors.

Logo should emphasize professionalism and excellent customer service.

We need a logo that will emphasis the Letters F and D important to strengthen the branding established by Fine & Deo over the years (THIS IS A MUST)- NOTE, DO NOT USE THE CURRENT FONT for the "F" and "D" as these are very outdated.

See upcoming conference link below Fine & Deo are Diamond sponsors however you can see how dull their logo looks compared to the other sponsors:

Consider two versions in your designs:

1) for online use, and
2) for print.

Online Advertising version (as sponsors) need to incorporate website address similar to the Royal Grande Logo (see logo in above conference link)
Print/Website logo but NO website address - to be used on new corporate website and for their new business cards, letterhead and firm newsletters + any other print material.

Some online logo samples we like:

http://filion.on.ca/ - created logo over 6 years ago but it still looks edgy and shows creativity in using all 4 letters in firms name.
http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/8934 - clean, corporate, proffesional services and good graphic for the C & N letters

<<< NOTE - CHANGE REQUESTED BY CUSTOMER (Sat Aug 25 - 12;30pm EST) >>>
It seems we CANNOT use the original tagline "Condominium Law Experts" - this is prohibited recent changes in Ontario law.

THE NEW TAGLINE WILL BE - Barristers and Solicitors

New Logo formats required:

1) Fine & Deo text with FD graphic
2) same a 1) but with "Barristers and Solicitors" - interchangeable with "Condominium Law Experts"
3) same as 1) & 2) but with http://www.finedeo.com
