Featured Design Contest: Calhoun Family Signing Agents - Loan Signing Agency Logo

You know that a good logo is foundational in building a great brand. In fact, just about any brand is impossible to think about without its logo. But what if you’re not really interested in creating a full-blown brand? What if you just want a logo that lets people know you’re there? Something that will look good on a business card or letterhead so folks remember you?

There are plenty of businesses that aim to do just that. Rather than trying to delight customers with a memorable and creative brand, they want their service to speak for itself. Today’s featured design contest shows this principle at work. Hatchwise client MCCalhoun wanted a logo for a loan signing agency. It’s a simple, family-owned business that doesn’t require the bells and whistles of a complicated brand but could still use a well-crafted and memorable logo to promote its services.

In the client’s words, they wanted their logo “to portray trust and integrity…to create a logo that people will look at again.” They offered a $50 contest prize and received 32 entries.
