As you can see in the title, this will be a very simple *text-based* logo. No pictures please.
What we need is to turn the brand name (consisting of 3 words) into a logo.
That means:
* Excellent readability is required. If people can't instantly and *easily* read the brand name from the logo, then your submission will be ignored.
Readability is far more important than any design with this logo.
* All 3 words must be written in one line
* The font size must be the same for all 3 words and the font should probably be the same for all 3 too.
* The first word is italicized and written in ALL CAPS
* The last 2 words are simply capitalized

90% of the logo was already done using basic text formatting in MS Word (see attached document).
Your job is to find a slightly more unique font (than the run-of-the-mill font used in that word document) and give the whole thing a touch of graphic design.
In other words, you need to create the remaining 10% and we understand that creating those last 10% (and getting it done right) will be a lot more time-consuming than the time it took us for formatting that text in Word.

Please download and read carefully the attached 1-page briefing here.
UPDATE! +++ IMPORTANT +++ IMPORTANT +++
Listen up! This is a MAJOR Requirement:
The first word is *italicized* and that creates the illusion of it moving *towards* the viewer.
And that is very intentional. We definitely want the appearance of the logo moving *towards* the viewer.
Now, if you create *anything* in your logo that makes it move away from the viewer, your logo will be immediately REJECTED regardless of anything else.

And if you don't know what makes a thing appear moving towards the viewer (as opposed to what makes it appear move away), then you are NOT a designer and shouldn't be submitting anything here!

UPDATE! Here is how we are gonna be rating your submissions from now:
* Anything that is completely and horribly wrong OR is violating one of the key requirements (such as making the thing appear to move away instead of moving towards the viewer) OR doesn't go beyond simple text formatting (that we could do ourselves in MS Word) will be rejected to hide it from the view.
* Anything that has at least an interesting idea of some sorts or even just a hint of an interesting idea, will get "bookmarked" by rating it 1 star.
* 3 stars means: We've "bookmarked" it because some interesting idea has caught our attention. No more no less.
Of the submissions that we had time to review so far (and eventually we will review ALL) not a single one was really worth 4 stars. But we are confident that as time progresses the designs will get more refined and more usable.

  People! The Public Clarification Board is just that:
  A Public Clarification Board.
  Do NOT post any links to your submissions.
  There is no point in doing that because eventually we WILL review *every single* one of your submissions and will then either rate it or reject it (if it's so bad that not even 1 star is adequate, see info about our rating style above).

I have reported all logos which has been copied my concept to freelancer.com. Now they will decide I am right or wrong. because this is out of rule that people copied the logo of other freelancers.

And DON'T make the logo move away from the user! Anything that makes the logo move away from the user/viewer will be rejected.

Once again to everyone here: If we just wanted naked text, we wouldn't need to post any contest here. We are pretty good at formatting naked text in MS Word ourselves. Your job is to come up with some graphic design here. Something subtle but something that will actually turn naked text into a logo.

OK, here's the thing: If you don't understand what makes a logo move towards the user and what makes it move away from the user, then you are NOT a designer and shouldn't be submitting anything here. Any submissions where the logo moves away from the user will now be rejected (regardless of anything else).

Also, we are quite capable of doing text formatting in word ourselves. So, if your "design" doesn't go beyond that, it will be rejected.

It should be obvious that all 3 words should have the same weight i.e. if you bold it, all 3 need to be bolded etc.
