Starting Qafoo logo contest

We are starting a logo contest for Qafoo now, and you can win 350€ (~450$) in it!

As announced earlier Manuel, Toby and me are currently in the process of founding Qafoo, a company, which will provide cosulting around the quality lifecycle of PHP applications. We already discussed the name and the tagline of the company publicly in our blogs and started a twtpoll to see which tagline you'd like most.

Based on the poll and our own preferences we decided for the tagline:

A passion for software quality.

So, now, it is time to start a logo and business card contest. We have chosen the platform 12designers. Our expectations for the logo are:

Expectations

Expectations for the logo:

  • The logo must contain the words "qafoo" - the words are not case-sensitive

    • The name is pronounced ['kwɑfuː].

    • The logo may contain the tag line "A passion for software quality".

    • The subject of the company is consulting on "the quality lifecycle of PHP applications".

  • There are no color preferences.

  • The logo style should be dynamic & fresh. The target audience are managers and software engineers. The logo should represent "innovative, reliable, professional and high-quality".

  • The logo should be usable on a website, on business cards and maybe print. The web target is most important. Thus the logo may contain gradients.

Formal expectations:

  • The logo and design should be available as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
