FriendsChecker
Our goal is to create a logo for our Facebook application called, "FriendsChecker."
FriendsChecker is a downloadable application that notifies you when someone unfriends you on Facebook.
Our audience is a bit general; however, it skews towards the casual facebook user, gender-agnostic and a younger audience.
What We Want:
We want the logo to contain two parts:
1) And icon
2) The text
In other-words: [icon] FriendsChecker
Important: We want the logo to be *exciting*
Don't make it boring. Make it funny.
Don't make it a silicon valley web 2.0 logo; make it exciting and funny.
(Like a the stick/silluotte guy making a shrugging motion or "whats up" motion or something... i.e. "What happened to us, I thought we were friends?")
Friendly / happy
Easy to use
Gender neutral
Younger target audience (13-35)
A hint of Facebook (but not copying them by any means)
Size:
The size we'll be using for our website will be around 250x75 (pixels)
However, we would also like the original hi-res version of the image (3000 x 500 JPG/PNG or AI file -- note: those dimensions aren't set; we prefer dimensions that make sense for the standard size (which is 250x75px) ) -- We'll need the hi-res version for t-shirts, press, etc.
The image should also be pretty/viewable when the height is as small as 30 px
Also, the icon should be "favicon-able" -- meaning, it can be viewed at 16x16 px
What We Do Not Want:
Don't use a checkbox. It's not a checkbox application, but instead we "check to see who else is a friend"
We don't want it to be cheezy or low quality
Be creative and good luck!
