Logo Design Project - Cyberknot.com

Objective:
Find a company that you have significant convictions against and create a logo for that type of company. Create 3 logos Symbolic, Descriptive and Typographic. Post 5 digital concept thumbs of each and a refined final.

Overview:

I chose to create a mail order bride company. The company name is CyberKnot.

1. Companies Researched:
- Hot Russian Brides
-International Cupid
-Chnlove.com
-Heavenly Hearts

2. I plan on experimenting different symbols relating to marriage, knots, and the internet. As the company is named CyberKnot, I see experimenting with ring elements, bridal elements, Different forms of knots, heart elements and mainly using red black and white.

Personal Beliefs:
What’s not to like about mail order bride companies… PLENTY! Beyond the element of risk for both parties, the probable language barrier, and most definite culture shock for the bride, there is a huge danger to brides when they are lack knowledge of domestic law. There as been reports of violence and abuse on brides and due to their ignorance they don’t know to do anything about it. On the other hand, there is great risk to the man making this investment as well. Obviously there is risk in his new wife running off with his money never to be seen again, but there are even some cases reported when a new groom has been found dead. There are obviously other motives with becoming a permit resident of the US as well. In the end there are some mail order bride relationships that turn out ok, But to me the whole idea seems based on money, lust, and objectives.
