Resumen de Diseño de Logo

We are a custom software development company located in San Francisco and we are in need of a logo design.

We would like the logo to convey some relevance to technology or software, we want it to be little hip, little cool but we don't want to look like we are trying too hard and wanting to look like the other guy. We are not iPhone/iPad app developers, or run a social media website or write games. We develop software for business/enterprise clients. So, we want to portray competence and yet some of the startup energy and the Silicon Valley know-how. We also don't want to look too traditional.

Our core competence is with the Microsoft platform and tools (you may want to take a look at the new Windows 8 logo, Visual Studio 2010 and the MSDN logos). Therefore we might be open to having some relevance/association in our logo to the new Windows 8 logo or to the upcoming Metro user interface (at least to the color scheme or the concept).

The word "Perigee" in our company name "Perigee X Consulting, Inc." is a space/orbital mechanics term (the point in the orbit of an object (as a satellite) orbiting the earth that is nearest to the center of the earth; also : the point nearest a planet or a satellite (as the moon) reached by an object orbiting it) but it does not have anything to do with what we do. We thought it sounded cool so if you think you can also make it look cool, we'll consider that as well!

Best of luck to all designers who are interested in our logo project!

Updates

After further consiferation we came to the conclusion that we prefer "bold flat colors and clean lines and shapes" similar to what Microsoft describes for the philosophy behind the International Typographic Style (or Swiss design) which influenced their Metro UI (http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/02/17/redesigning-the-windows-logo.aspx ). Because we are Microsoft technology developers we would like to look "fitting" to this new Metro style.

Hello Designers!

I think I need to clarify my previous update and give little more feedback for the designs submitted so far.

When I mentioned Microsoft and the the philosophy that is behind their logo and the Metro UI I didn't mean I want to copy Microsoft's logo or have a logo with just light blue color in it.  The International Typographic Style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Typographic_Style) emphasizes cleanliness, readability and objectivity. There are certain types of fonts used to supplement this philosophy.  This is used all over the upcoming version of windows not only in Microsoft's new Windows 8 logo.  Plus, we do not want to copy Microsoft or want our logo to resemble theirs.  We want to look fitting to the over all ITS concept/philosophy.  We want to see some out of the box thinking in the designs and we want that Silicon Valley company image, also something related to being a tech/software company.  The International Typographic Style or the Metro UI suggestion is about colors, fonts and lines.  We hope this helps and look forward to more interesting, more sophisticated submissions!

Thank you all very much.
