Logo Design for startup

I need a logo for an organization that is just starting up.

The organization’s mission is to advance the entrepreneurial ethos in Cyprus by educating, facilitating and connecting business-oriented Cypriots at a national and international level.

We aim to bring Cypriot entrepreneurs from all over the world together in order to build a strong network around the globe that will provide young, inspired people with training and knowledge on how to start (or better) their own businesses.

We have already put down a couple of ideas for the logo, and you can either continue working with those or propose an entirely different design. We are certainly open to new and fresh ideas that reflect CEL’s vision.

We want the logo to be professional but not boring, simple yet intelligent and we would also like it to be flexible, i.e. a design that can be altered and played around with in the future for various promotional purposes.

Some key terms that might inspire you and which we would like to see reflected in the logo:

1. People
2. Connections
3. Entrepreneurship
4. Cyprus-centred
5. International

The format(s) and resolution of the logo should allow its use in various platforms, from stationery to posters, from banners to CEL’s website.
