Business Logo Design for MDT

Member Driven Technologies (MDT)

Yes

Need a new logo for "Member Driven Technologies". Open to designs that include full name or abbreviation "MDT". MDT is a full service technology provider for Credit Unions. We are driven by service and security. Some IT services we provide include the hosting of core credit union financial systems, databases, email, websites in our full featured, state of the art Data Center. We offer a plethora of ancillary services (online banking, mobile banking, bill pay, and credit card processing, etc.).
MDT was founded 8 years ago and has grown from 2 employees to over 60 today. We currently have clients in 22 U.S. states. Some phrases we use to describe our company (these are not tag lines): "We host it … you maintain control", "A truly unique, hybrid approach", "Built by credit unions, owned by credit unions, serving credit unions". This logo will be used as our one and only corporate logo … on print, web, social networks, marketing materials (product sheets, brochures, trinkets), business cards, conference booth branding, clothing, name badges, etc.

No more than 3 colors. We like Primary or Secondary colors, black, white, and grey. We do not like yellow or green as a ‘main’ color.

not sure

Things to consider: (1) Logo needs to look good as multi-color (color on white) and reverse (white on black). (2) Please avoid drop shadow or 3-D effects. (3) Needs to be easy to embroider on clothing (i.e.; shirts). Things to avoid: (1) www.mdtmi.com – please avoid everything about MDT’s current logo (font, colors, shapes). (2) www.synergentcorp.com - don’t create a logo like this or use the color scheme. (3) www.symitar.com - don’t create a logo like this (or use this font).

    Thank you all again - this has been a very fun and creative process! You are all great designers! As we approach the weekend and this contest ends on Monday morning, please be sure to submit your final designs in the next 2 days. #96 - Very nice design. Worried that the "dots" would be too hard to embroider. Can you try something else - bigger dots or different design in that area? #93 - can we see the "MDT" to the left of "Member Driven Technologies" - so the logo and text are side by side?

    All, We just noticed that everyone seems stuck on a similar font and ALL CAPS for the "Member Driven Technologies" part. We would like to see designs using Mixed Case and all lower case. And variations on font type would be good to see. Thanks much - getting close!

    I don't have any more comments at this time, but updated the star ratings of those that I will be running by a few more people here. May have more comments tomorrow. Thanks again! Great work!

    #54 - can you try running the "white" line all the way through from left to right...so it slices the middle of the "M" as well. Also, try moving the "T" closer to the "D". If you need to, it's Ok to slice off the corner of the "T" so it nestles into the "D". Would like to see some other colors too. #46 - Can you darken the colors a bit and go down to 2 of those colors. Also, move "technologies" under "member driven". #44 - Thank you for the research and efforts to pull in elements from the credit union industry! Can you separate the M and the D and we would love to see some variations of this design. #41 - Can you make "technologies" a little bigger, but still smaller than "member driven" and we'd like to see some other colors. #37, #38, #39, #40 - thank you for the effort and all the options! We like the left column of each better - with the color filling up to the left. Also prefer the middle blue color, I assume that is the royal blue (0,35,102) - message me if it's something different. In an effort to make the full name a little bigger, can you try extending it the full width of the design...still keeping "technologies" on its own line and a little smaller than "member driven" #35, #36 - Can you make "technologies" the same color green as in the logo. Would also like to see some other color options.

    All Designers - would like to see your designs with the following colors - 0,0,255 (blue), or 0,35,102 (royal blue), or 0,0,128 (navy blue). Combine this with a green like #22 or a yellow or gold like 255,255,0 or 255,215,0 or more orange like #10. Would be open to some different fonts too, everyone seems to be stuck on one or two fonts. As you can see by the star ratings, #16, #22 and #29 are getting close and are the front-runners at this time. I like some of the new ones coming in as well, comments below. #32 - cool idea, can you make a similar look but add some color and move the "T" to the end. I know what you were going for, but we want "MDT" to be clear to everyone. #31 - another fresh idea. Though I love that the "M" looks like mountains, we just don't have any mountains anywhere near us here in Michigan. I'd love to see another design from you. #29 - see the color comments above and drop some of the "flying squares" from the "T". They would be too hard to embroider. Maybe just 3 or 4? #22 - see the color comments above. And maybe take another shot with your #10, but with less squares off the T, maybe 3 or 4. Would like to see both designs in the same colors. #20 - apply some color and try something with the "D". Looks too much like a backward "C". Like what you did with the "T". #19 - like the design overall, can you try something different with the "D" and apply above mentioned colors. #16 - nice. Can you try something with the "M". Maybe drop the last leg of the "M" a little so it's easier to see that it's an M. Apply above colors. #15 - good and different. A bit too close to our current logo using a diamond and crescent. Maybe play with this a little and try some other shapes.

    We have begun to use the star ratings and "elimination" options. We will eliminate designs when there are multiples from one designer and we like one over the others. The star ratings are a starting point. As more designs come in, we will change the ratings appropriately. Any questions, please comment or message me. Thank you. Great start!!!

    For All Designers: We would like to see the M, D, and T separated. Remember - no gradients or 3d effects. #12 - Font of "MDT" is OK. Would like to see some color and different font for full company name. Would like to see a different design around the MDT that does not resemble a tractor tire. #11 - Font of "MDT" is OK. Like the other designs by you better. #10 - Please try some other colors instead of the orange. The gray is OK. Overall design is OK. Would like to see design without the "break off squares" off the "T" to clean it up a little.

    #1 and #2 are definitely a good start. I like the font of the full name, but the logo doesn't look enough like a "D" in the middle letter. For all designers - would like to see many more options. I will continue to post comments as different designs come in. I will also start using the stars to rate designs once more of them come in. Thank you!
