New logo for TV production company

Malaika Media

We are a new video production company, working on corporate, wedding and music videos, and will soon be applying for funding and pitching ideas for national broadcast television (Ireland & UK). We are media professionals who have decided to come together to form this company and work together. We need a fresh, clean logo to brand our videos with, use on business cards, our website, stationary etc.

We want to give our company a strong identity. The logo does not necessarily need to depict our type of business – no televisions for example. The name of the business means ‘angel’ in Swahili but we’re not sure about character logos, a simple, strong logo might work best. Also, most people would not make that connection.

The logo will be strongly featured on our website which will be a major tool in generating business for us, as it will show examples of our work. It will also be on our business cards, letterheads, DVDs, tape labels and all deliverables of work that we produce.

The logo will be mostly featured on a black background (the end of videos/programs and possibly the website), but ideally we would like a version for both black and white.

Please note that the logo may be animated in the future – this could be simply a word dropping and bouncing or an ‘M’ twirling. Just keep it in mind but don’t let it define your design.

We like a slight 3D feel but this is not a requirement. We also like bold reds and pinks as well as pastel greens/blues, but we are open to color suggestions.

The logo can incorporate the words or just first letters – whatever looks best.

*Work must be original, no modifications of existing work.
*We need a high quality vector image that we can scale to our liking.
*We would also like the original design file from Photoshop/Illustrator.
*We need full intellectual rights to the logo upon payment.
*No serif fonts please.
