Logo Redesign
Contact Michele Plante for PDF sheet.

Client is happy with current type treatment but needs a 3-D development for the a in “s|a”
“s|a” The client wants the circle in the background to be developed into a sphere in print, and later animated into flash for use in web animations. Eventually the logo will be used in video animations. Designer does not have to know video software.

Company philosophy is holistic--products and divisions are designed to serve body, mind, and spirit, and founder would like this to be reflected in the logo. The company's effectiveness at bringing together these three areas of personal development is considered analogous to the actions of a Strange Attractor in Chaos Theory, thus the use of this term in the names of the various business units. The designer is free to use art motifs that would reinforce this underlying theme (such as fractal art), but it should not be considered a requirement.  

Compensation: $10-$12 per hour depending on designer’s experience.

To Apply: Send cover letter, resume, and portfolio  by December 4th, to Terry Madl at TMMAD1@aol.com
