Fiber Depot Needs a Logo

Fiber Depot is a web resource for telecom professionals seeking fiber optic patch cords and related equipment/information.

I have done enough contests here to learn that good communication with the designers is important, so I will be leaving feedback twice a day, in the morning and in the evening PST (USA) time. I have always paid, even ones that weren't guaranteed, and often award lesser secondary prizes.

In telecommunications, yellow is a color commonly used with fiber optic cables. The yellow could be used with black to suggest “caution”. You can also work around the concept of connections, such as having cable ends protruding from the sides of the logo, orbiting the logo,  or some other utilization of cables. You can also utilize beams of red laser light to make things more interesting. Lasers are related to fiber optic cables because it is laser light that travels through the cable. Red is a good color to represent laser light, and would make a good accent to go along with the yellow and black. The red also indicates a warning, as lasers can damage your eyes.

A lot of times, fibers come in bundles such as seen here. Maybe the circular shape will give you something to work with. http://www.made-in-china.com/image/…emode-.jpg

I would like to see an industrial look that conveys importance and a little “danger” that comes with fiber optics. In most cases the audience will be corporate, but it doesn’t have to be boring either.  I prefer strong, bold fonts.

- Strong, bold fonts

- High Contrast

- White Background

- Something too fun or playful
- Utilization of fiber bundles such as here: http://images.google.com/images?hl=…s&aq=f&oq=
