Create a memorable abstract brand symbol and logo for BossDiodov

IMPORTANT BEFORE APPLYING
Please do not send a generic AI-generated proposal, AI-written analysis, or automatically generated logo concepts.
I already have paid access to AI tools. I am hiring for your own design thinking, taste, judgement and ability to create a strong original symbol. A short personal proposal in your own words is more valuable than a long generic response.
AI may support private research or ideation, but the final logo must be your own original, deliberately constructed vector design.
PROJECT
I need a distinctive standalone symbol and matching logo for BossDiodov, a company specialising in professional LED lighting systems, installation and technical solutions.
The priority is the symbol, not simply styling the company name. I want a mark that can eventually represent the brand without the word BossDiodov beside it.
It does not need to literally represent lighting, LEDs or electricity. I prefer a simple, memorable abstract symbol with a strong shape and no obvious literal meaning.
WHAT I LIKE
- Simple, distinctive symbols that are easy to recognise and remember.
- A mark that works independently from the name.
- Strong black-and-white performance and good readability at small sizes.
- Suitable for favicon, social avatar, workwear, stickers, vehicles and print.
- A shape strong enough to work without glow, gradients, 3D effects or presentation mockups.
I can provide references to explain the principle I like, but they must not be copied.
WHAT I DO NOT WANT
Please avoid generic clichés such as LED strips, light bulbs, lightning bolts, plugs, power buttons, electrical icons, glowing letters or stock-style technology logos.
Do not force the symbol into the letter B unless there is a genuinely strong concept behind it.
No stock logos, templates, recycled client work or pre-existing symbols.
THREE-STAGE PROCESS
Stage 1 — Independent thinking
I will explain the company, audience and desired brand qualities, but I will intentionally withhold my own symbol ideas and sketches.
Please create 3 genuinely different conceptual directions, not minor variations of one icon, with a short explanation behind each.
Stage 2 — Directed exploration
I will give one consolidated round of detailed feedback.
If one direction is promising, we develop it. If none works, I will share additional references and my own ideas.
This stage includes up to 2 new or substantially reworked directions if needed.
Stage 3 — Refinement
We select the strongest direction and refine proportions, geometry, typography, spacing, colour, symbol/wordmark relationship and small-size performance.
This is the final refinement stage, not another full concept search.
FINAL DELIVERABLES
- Primary BossDiodov logo.
- Standalone symbol / brand mark.
- Horizontal and compact versions where appropriate.
- Black, white/reversed and colour versions if relevant.
- SVG, editable vector source (AI/EPS or equivalent), PDF and transparent PNG.
- Favicon/avatar-ready version.
- Colour values and recommended typefaces.
- Disclosure of any font or third-party licence costs before approval.
No business cards, social templates, stationery or full brand book are required.
ORIGINALITY AND RIGHTS
The final artwork must be original and created for this project.
After final payment, I require commercial usage rights and transfer of the relevant IP rights to the approved final artwork.
Any third-party assets or licensing restrictions must be disclosed in advance.
