It all started with an idea...

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

Needs

BEWARE CHANGE. I decide to assume fully my name PATRICE METAIS. Keep mostly the same instructions than before, just include my full name and familly name. Thanks for your comprehension.
Before : The name of my company is Metis for 3 reasons:
+In Greek mythology she is the goddess of wisdom and good advice (see wiki link).
+A crossbreed (‘métissage’) between different areas of expertise to fully address the clients’ needs.
+Last but not least, my surname is Métais and I wish the logo to figure something reminiscent of Metis’s iconography and gently suggest the “a” in Métais, without being too distracting.
The logo has to convey a very high level of services yet innovation and at the same time has to be warm and welcoming.
I need a graphic charter (visual identity) which includes headed paper (for estimates and invoices) and an email signature in which figures the following motto/phrase: “Together, let’s/we will unleash your full potential” [in French :” Ensemble, libérons votre potentiel”]
I also need business cards and correspondence templates (A4 / 3)

Company description

I have been a company coach for 20 years. I accompany managing directors and their teams in the structure and realization of their strategic visions, and bring them to life. I coach men and women through times of change (whether desired or imposed). I can work one on one or with whole groups, I can intervene solo or as part of a wider team of consultants and experts (business model, marketing, recruitment…)
My basic philosophy is as follows:
+The foundation of any organization is the sum total of the people which compose it
+A happy team (in which everyone knows one another, share a clear vision of what the goals are, and in which everyone brings his or her talent to the table) will be an effective team
+Innovation necessarily implies innovation in management (which very often is overlooked)

Target group

I mainly work for French international groups. I can work for smaller business units (of around 30 people) as well as for leading teams managing 1500 or so co-workers (segments: building, industry, big distribution…). End clients are mostly directors of operations or CEOs. I sometime work with cooperative and national associations, and occasionally with government administrations.

Colors, favourites and other requirements

The background is to be generally white, however apart from white I am open to anything. So please enjoy yourselves!
It could be a colored panel (google, windows, brandsupply) or a predominant color, as long as it conveys a high level of service, innovation and a warm welcome!
