Innovative, timeless design collectively balanced with budget and function.

Describe your company and organization and target audience

We are an architectural design-build company offering architectural drafting and design collaboratively with our contractors and consultants to ensure an idea comes to reality within the budget and function.

Our architectural design services adapt to the needs of the client based on the level of detail or custom design that is appropriate for the budget. These design services include but are not limited to new residential, remodels at all scales, interior lay-out/detailing, building permit drawings/sets, civil/planning and manufacturing drawings.

Our design-build services include coordination with consultants, bid and negotiation, value-engineering and budget revisions, construction administration, with aftercare and warranty.

Our target audience ranges from young families in search of their first custom home to retirement planning elders in need of ADA accessibility layouts, from residential developers to those in need of renovations large and small.

The design should have the following

I have drafted out typography I would like used, but it needs to be somehow be integrated or laid out in such a way that it is more of a icon/emblem type logo then a solely text based. The aim is to have a logo that will be noticeable at all scales (web icon to signage). It would be nice if it fit in a circle, or square proportionally in that sense.

The inspiration that has gotten to this point in design is a mixture of art deco, industrial and clean/sleek contemporary aesthetic.

I would love for this logo alone to be obviously architectural/drafting/design firm without having to write the words below the logo 'drafing & design'. But also want it to stay clean and not be busy or tacky like a blueprint.

Here is a link to my pinterest board to get a better idea of inspiration, etc. > https://www.pinterest.com/kelsward/logo/

This logo will be used for

  • Online (Website, facebook etc.)
  • Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)
  • Merchandise (mugs, t-shirts etc.)
  • Signs (including shops, billboards etc.)
  • Television/screen

This design should not have this in the entries

Try not change the typography font as I have designed and drafted that up from scratch, but new ideas/revisions are welcome.

I included a file of the earlier logo prior to the latest typography but am not stoked on that layout as it reads 'tine' vs Nine.... clarity in reading NINE-21 is extremely important.

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

Copper (Metal), White, Black
