CLIENT RULES

• Logos must contain the words "SCV Commercial Real Estate Services" and the tag-line "Sales, Leasing, Management, Financing, & Business Opportunities". This is not cAsE SeNsItIvE. The lettering "SCV" in "SCV Commercial Real Estate Services" must remain in capitol letters.
  


• The logo can contain up to 2 colors. The client prefers the color dark blue (i.e. pantone 2935).
  


• Entries may not contain gradients.
  


• The logo style must be modern, and business professional.
  


• Your logo should represent locality to the Santa Clarita valley. A geographic representation would be a perfect example of how to associate the locality of the client's city and business. The logo should invoke feelings of closeness to the community, a Santa Clarita Valley (SCV) based business and should also represent a business that ONLY does business in the local area.
  


• Local Map may be used. The region is unique in that two major Highways intersect where the city begins, the 5 and 14 Freeways. The client wants to portray an image that represent this major thoroughfare and also represent a local area. An example would be a map with the freeways and major cross-valley connectors in a box or circle as a logo.
  


• No symbols of buildings or high-rises (like most commercial real estate companies) may be used. Santa Clarita is famous for oak trees and western themed events, but these symbols should be avoided as they are overused in the community.
  


• The client would like to see presentation examples of your logo design (i.e. business cards, letterhead examples).
  


• The font must be easily read from a distance (as it will be printed on real estate signs). The client does not want fancy artistic fonts. The client prefers industrial/corporate & professional fonts to be used. Please upload your font to your corporate files area.
  


• The client prefers Illustrator vector files (.ai or .eps).
  


• Before entering this contest you must read this thread.
