CONTEST DESCRIPTION

In this free contest, your task is to design a logo for Nexus Control System, a pump control software platform that allows users to monitor and manage their water systems from a remote location. Their water systems are generally used for water transport, irrigation and treatment (taking saltwater, or other dirty water and cleaning it). The Nexus Control System is state of the art, can communicate with irrigation control systems (sprinklers) and will adjust the flow and pressure of a pump system to maintain the correct amount of water is running through the system at the right times. It also reports back to the user information regarding flow, pressure, chemical levels, etc.. and will alert the user if there is a problem with the system that needs to be attended to.
