We would like “ThePurchasingDept™” in the logo (Trebuchet Font). A symbol along with that text may help us commutate what was mentioned above.


• A playground ‘teeter-totter’ reminds us of the way one party is very simply elevated by the ‘weight’ of a larger party (group).
• Lever system where the foundation of experience lifts up member companies.
• ThePurchasingDept is adding a piece to the greater puzzle of success for a member company.
• How else can one person being lifted or helped by a group be illustrated?

    PROJECT STATUS REPORT: Thanks to everyone who has participated so far. We are still accepting new concepts but have narrowed the current options to our 3 favorites. #18 We like the simple, clean, and elementary feel/look of this image. Our business model of the power of many lifting one is expressed nicely. We would like to see a few other options of colors and shapes. We would like to experiment with the lever being longer right of the fulcrum, and the image with our 'tag' line applied also. #54 We like that this image imparts a feeling of strength, simplicity, honesty, and integrity. And it emphasizes our focus on 'non-core' spend. It is very cool looking. #37 This one is very interesting to us, but it needs simplifying and refining. Too busy, need other shapes/images pressing the lever on the right. And we need the image of the globe to be more 3D and real. And the fulcrum needs to be moved left - at least to the center of the balance.

    Some comments from viewers of the project: 23 has a nice feel to it - I like the colors and the depth (illustrating the collective effort of the group). I guess the downfall is that it looks a bit like United Way or American Family Insurance. Maybe that is just the blue. 8 I like because it expresses the concept but I'm not sold on Orange and blue. Could we see in a different color scheme? Would it help to add dept/dimension to the blocks or would that make it too busy? I can't get over the AT&T-ness of the sphere in 10 but I like how it looks. It does have that established corporate feel while maintaining the "helping the group". I wonder if different placement of the sphere would make it less AT&T.

    On #11 scales do not work. Too much implications with 'the scales of justice'. Can we look at more of a teetertotter image. Or a lever lifting something.

    Like the message conveyed in #7 but need to look at cleaner crisper designs for the lever, and the group on the right looks like they are praying - need something to show effort and mass on the right. Black is ok for the image on the right, but can the figure on the left putting the puzzle piece in place be more alive?

    Draft #10 is very nice, but could we see some variations of color so that the image is not confused with AT&T?

    #3 is very nice looking too. We wonder if we should experiment with other styles for the text to make it slightly easier to read.

    Draft #10 is very nice, but could we see some variations of color so that the image is not confused with AT&T? Draft #4, #2, #1 are bring shopping to mind. They have been eliminated.
