USQBC Logo

Looking for a modern and yet slightly conservative new logo. This is a revision to a past contest.

This is the second time we're entering this contest. While we likedsome of the past entries, after review of the submitted logos, wenoticed that it would be important to incorporate additional themes ofQatar.

We are looking for a modern and yetslightly conservative logo. President of the organization is a retiredAmbassador and our members are large corporations and so a businesslikeand very professional look is a must, yet the current logo looks quitedated and needs a facelift!

We like the idea of a combo ofUnited States and Qatar flags, colors, the unity so to speak. Ourwebsite and current logo can be found at: http://www.usqbc.org.Additionally we are in the process of updating our website for it tolook more modern, interesting, etc and the logo is key to this look onthe site.

- USQBC or U.S. Qatar Business Council wording near the logo
- Qatari and U.S. colors, flags
- I like the concept of the Qatar Foundation logo http://www.qf.org.qa
- Please make use of the Qatari plum color, as seen in this link to the Qatari flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:F…_Qatar.svg
- You may want to incorporate traditional Islamic geometric designs. Here are some samples: http://www.flickr.com/photos/348535…230285729/
- Another idea is to include a dhow, which is a traditional sailing vessel that represents commerce: http://www.flickr.com/photos/348535…231134154/
- Shown here is the Seal of Qatar which can be used for inspiration: http://www.flickr.com/photos/348535…230285707/
- Arabic and English would be great. Here is the correct spelling of Qatar in Arabic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/348535…230285621/

- Don't want it to be "too busy" looking
- No "boxy" or 3-D style logo
- super conservative look
