Teladvantage Logo Redesign

We are completely redesigning our website. We have decided that the logo we use for our main product/service line, Teladvantage, is tired and needs to be updated. I have attached a JPG of the existing logo. I made it, and it is better than the one it replaced, but I now realize it looks a bit cheesy and homemade. Although we are a small company, we are trying to convey the image of a $100 million+ international technology behemoth. Think logos like Intel, Silicon Graphics, Sun, etc. This logo doesn't fit. What is Teladvantage? It's our brand of products and services for telephone "on hold" advertising (messages). If you want to know all about it go to amtc dot com and review our cheesy website that's being tossed out too. Do you need to know what it is to create a logo I'll love? Maybe, but maybe not. It may be dangerous to know. Almost every one of our cheesy competitors has a logo integrating a telephone, a hold button, or a finger on a hold button, or some other worn out metaphor. Don't show me anything like that. Some guidance: 1. I'd prefer to stick with one or two colors. (costs less to silkscreen on CDs). But if you think you can blow me away with three or 4 colors, feel free. 2. It will make my life easier if the design stays horizontal (think of it going across the top of a CD). 3. The logo could integrate our slogan: "When your callers are on hold, your business shouldn't be." Or not. The deal: I don't want bids. I'm still not finished sorting through the hundreds of bids I've gotten for the website redesign. If you think you can give me what I want, take a shot. If I pick your logo, I'll pay you $100. I won't steal your idea and not pay you. Even if I were a sleazeball and would do that, you'd see it appear on my website in a month and sue me and ruin my life. If you want to submit a quick and dirty sketch that can still convey to me the brilliance of the idea, it's OK by me. ## Deliverables Of course, I'll want the design in vector format, all rights. ## Platform vector
