Fresh new look for logo of state-of-the-art engineering software

FEKO

We develop, market and distribute the electromagnetic simulation software suite FEKO.

The purpose of FEKO is to simulate electromagnetic fields in and around structures to analyse and optimise devices and to explore new ideas and designs. FEKO employs state-of-the-art, market-leading mathematical algorithms. A sophisticated GUI is provided for CAD creation and manipulation of the 3D structures to be analysed as well as to visualise the results.

Example applications are the analysis and optimisation of satellite dishes, wire antennas mounted on a ship, antennas for wireless technology/mobile phones, antennas integrated into cars, etc. See our website (http://www.feko.info) for more applications.

FEKO is scientifically sophisticated, precise and accurate. FEKO is very efficient --- it can solve very big problems very quickly. FEKO is reliable, respected and trusted. FEKO plays an important role in the development of important modern day systems. These are the things the developers of FEKO continuously strive for. The FEKO logo should embody these properties.

FEKO is used by engineers and scientists. It is used at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, as well as in the development of products with internationally recognised brands, e.g. BMW, Daimler, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, European Space Agency, US Military, Motorola, etc. (see http://www.feko.info/customers)

Our market is thus developers of sophisticated cutting-edge electromagnetic technology, as well as researchers, in the international educational, commercial as well as military sectors.

About our present logo:
* It has various versions. Choice between versions depends on practical constraints
* Logo is used on the web, marketing flyers, posters, email, business cards, notepads, pens, Twitter, newsletters, DVD printing, within the software
* Slogan is integrated into full logo, but not into compact versions.
* Aspect ratio of the full logo is a problem, as it is too stretched out, often making it difficult to use.

What we need now:
* A logo which has 2 versions, one with and one without the slogan (the text “FEKO” then integrated into logo)
* Or alternatively a logo with 3 versions:
** One with the text “FEKO” and the slogan
** One with just the text “FEKO”
** One with no text
* Slogan = "Comprehensive Electromagnetic Solutions"
* “FEKO” must always appear in capital letters
* Logo aspect ratio should not be extreme
* Preferable is a logo with horiz. dimension equal or larger than vertical
* Based on the colours Black and FEKO green (RGB=110,171,36)
* Strongly preferred to still incorporate the current central element, which is the black disk with diamond and three arcs, but be creative!

Design freedoms/restrictions:
* You could consider:
** Shading/light effects, but dignified and not over the top
** A 3D CAD model inspired design...just an idea!
* Keep it simple; strong and clean lines
* No stock images/photos
