Global Auction Network, LLC

1. Situation Analysis/Background Information: Global Auction Network, LLC is launching a subscription-based, broadband network that will capitalize on the explosive growth in the areas of worldwide art, antiques and collectibles while utilizing the ever-growing distribution channel of broadband delivered content and services.

Target Audience: Primary: Potential affiliated Auction Houses: Over 2,900 auction houses worldwide that deliver almost 6 billion in sales revenue each year. By and large, these houses convey a time-honored sense of tradition, wealth, erudition and tastecatering primarily to those who have the access, wealth, knowledge and sensibility similar to the houses themselves.

What do we want to say? Global Auction Network is the pre-eminent provider of broadband delivered video auctions on a global scale - we want to instill and embolden confidence and marketplace authority through graphical and type representation 5. Tone and Manner:  Technologically advanced and cutting edge  Confident  Authoritative  Knowledgeable  Traditional but not stodgy  Sophisticated, but not too much so unapproachable for broader audience (appealing those interested not immersed in the world of high-end auctions)  Elegant but not too high brow 7. Additional Info/Insights: It is very important that first and foremost, the logo and brand identity appeal to our potential distribution partnersthat it elicits confidence, trust and authority, and technological superiority. And while it is equally important that the logo appeals to the ultimate end user, its fair to assume that the sensibilities of our participating auction house partners are very similar to the sensibilities of our ultimate consumer. With that said, pay particular attention to the logos of the auction houses themselvesits often helpful to speak to someone when echoing their tone and style. The existing online providers logos (ebay, ubid, etc) are too loud, boisterous and mainstream to meaningfully appeal to this segment, while the logos of the two primary middleware providers more successfully echo an auction house sensibility without being too stodgy or staid. In terms of priority on the Global Auction Network logoemphasis should rather heavily weigh to GLOBAL AUCTION, with the word network in a secondary position. 1) CURRENT LOGOS OF ONLINE AUCTION COMPANIES 2) CURRENT LOGOS OF THE TWO PRIMARY MIDDLEWARE PROVIDERS BETWEEN AUCTION HOUSES AND EBAY ArtFact Live Auctioneers (This artwork could not be pasted into description template.) 3) CURRENT LOGOS OF TRADITIONAL AUCTION HOUSES Doyle Sotheby's Christie's Swann Freemans (This artwork could not be pasted into description template.)
