It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs

Description:
We are looking for a modern and recognizable logo for our new company.

Keywords:
- From BLUE-print to actual product (BUILD)
- Design and production of prototypes / (scale or demonstration) models / small series / unique products
- Connecting element / bridge between idea and product(ion)
- Origin in Delft ('famous' from its Delft blue pottery)

As additional inspiration the following are keywords/aspects of our work:
- Design; sketching, drawing, blueprinting, digital design
- Production; machining (lathing, milling), 3D printing, moulding, painting
- Electronics; printed circuit boards, chips, LED lights, digital screens

As a clarification, the following criteria will be used to rate the proposals:

1*: Presentation and relation to keywords is not sufficient
2*: First impression is good, but the design is possibly not original or missed relation to keywords
3*: Strong relation to keywords, design can be improved
4*: Strong relation to multiple keywords en looks good
5*: Exceeding expectations, this will be a winner!

Company description

Bluebuild is a technical startup which specializes in the development of functional prototypes. Examples include a smart door lock, special edition (interactive) board game, or a unique beer tap.

Everything is possible. Bluebuild wants to turn ideas into reality.

Target group

Mostly B2B; companies and startups developing new products lacking the means or knowledge to perform the complete design and production of a prototype.

Possibly also special designs for individuals.

Colors, favourites and other requirements

Requirements:
- Strong relation with (at least one) the aforementioned keywords
- Simple / modern / young / dynamic / accessible

Optional (not required but potentially of added ):
- Slogan could be "Engineered Prototyping"
- The logo can be engraved, in other words: it should look good in black and white
- The logo is characteristic / it sells itself; so no generic designs -> inspiring examples are the logos of Martin Garrix or Avicii (but keywords should still be leading/ recognizable)
- Bonus points for a design that can also be executed in 3D (such that we can 3D print it… that part would be our specialty)
