Design complete brand identity for Independent Film Company

Information for the business: Independent Film Company
Type of logo: Word mark, Letter form, Abstract mark, Pictorial mark, Emblem
Ideas for the visual style: up in the air
Extra notes: I'm looking to hire a designer for my new independent film brand THIRTYREV

I want to find the right person for the job, someone who understands the vision of the brand and understands it's personality.

Current mission statement: We believe in creating films that contribute towards making the world a safe, just and sustainable place.

Name genesis: The name came from a brainstorm between me and my wife. I told her I wanted something with deep personal meaning (the name of my previous venture - a commercial film company - didn't have any personal meaning to me when I came up with the name) but I also am attracted to names that are not clearly descriptive. The name is simply a combination of THIRTY and REVOLUTION.

Revolution because of my belief in the revolution that's needed across many areas in the world to address injustice and achieve sustainability and equality for all. But most importantly revolution of the self, of myself - and for me this took shape in the year I was 30 (last year).

The very decision to leave my other business and more commercial-minded filmmaking, and pursue other things was a massive life decision - but also a decision that reflected my changing desires and purpose in life. I decided that I wanted to be spending more of my time creating films that contribute to my mission and less time working in the advertising space. I understood that this very likely means earning less money, but I'm fine with that - and in fact the way I value things (time, money, objects) has undergone a bit of a revolution also.

Style: I guess this is the bit that is up in the air, but hopefully my notes evoke some ideas.

Tone: I think the tone of this brand will be reflective of my personality. I believe in truth and justice, and am at times quite unapologetically blunt. I swear, I abhor censorship and hypocrisy, I'm rational and critical. But I also believe in the power of love and kindness and and am cool with airy fairy stuff!
