Help us build our logo, our DNA. We are THE onramp to the Cloud.

StratusQ

We are a small battle-scarred team of 3 with loads of experience in the "enterprise software" industry who are looking to put our collective knowledge and experience to work in a new endeavor. The only thing that keeps us at our day jobs is working with each other. We've paid our dues having survived countless mergers, acquisitions, and turmoil only to gain more exposure and success within the confines of our day job. That said, we are tired of the daily grind and want to put our minds together and build something better. Something wonderful. Something more meaningful.

We are trying to build a company with unique products and services that the average business who might be struggling to stay afloat in this challenging economy can leverage to build lasting relationships and growth strategies. Our goal is to sprinkle a little of the magic dust that we've collected over the years on the right set of customers who deserve something better. Instead of selling to the Fortune 500, we aim to put our experience in the technology sector to use in more meaningful ways. We aim to take the complexity and confusion out of the equation and build lasting relationships with our customers.

We leverage a global network of connections across Europe, Asia, and the Americas to get the job done. We have a wide range of experts that we are lining up to help us make the right decisions.

We are trying to build a company that just about anyone can benefit from using. No company is too small, nor too large. We aim to take the guesswork out of brining in novel, bleeding edge technology to drive efficiency and cost savings to our customers.

We provide consulting products and services that focus on business process efficiency, virtualization and cloud computing across a wide range of industries and disciplines. We take a highly iterative, agile approach to delivering immediate value through short sprint-style projects with clearly defined milestones and objectives

Our goal is to bring near instantaneous benefits to our customers through cost-conscious "bite sized" projects that have a meaningful impact right away. We don't write long-winded proposals, business projections, with complex terminology. Our goal is to assess our customers' needs, identify areas of opportunity, and then hit the ground running to deliver value in a very compressed timeframe.

We are like a Navy SEAL or SWAT team. Able to swoop down into just about any situation, take stock of the matter, identify areas of opportunity and then put plans in action to achieve immediate results.

We all think out of the box and use some pretty unique approaches and unconventional techniques to get things done. We work odd hours, spanning many time zones, and do whatever it takes to get the job done.

This is our brand, our DNA. We want to be 100% unique.

Our primary brand/logo should support a wide range of uses - for web site development, business cards, favicons, printed brochures, etc.

It should be simple, but also stand out in the crowd.

Explore options of using DNA / double helix, cloud metaphors, and perhaps some kind of "on-ramp" theme.

StratusQ - Stratus - clouds, q= questions. e.g. we have the answers to your questions about the Cloud.

Our goal is to come up with a brand that reflects our core values and makes it easy for customers to understand what we bring to the table.

We are really trying to establish ourselves as a different kind of technology company - one that is focused on more socially conscious projects, one that is aimed at helping those who are struggling to stay ahead in the current economic climate.

We are tired of trying to sell the kitchen sink and snake oil to large corporate behemoths and want to get more personal with our customers.

Our logo should show that we care about establishing meaningful relationships and common values with our customers.

We want to make it easy for our users to understand what we do.
