HC Connect is the internal website at Kentucky Housing. When I came onboard, it was in the middle of an overhaul. The back-end work had commenced but we were still trying to get the front end looking good. They had comissioned a logo from my predecessor who had given them the following (through rigorous R&D with staff and managment).
Using the prompts given to me: show connectedness, be modern, use KHC's corporate logo, must be square, and use of old arrow was devisive (have one version with motif but shy away from); I created a set of four logos to go from.
I had two logos that were favorites. I made more derivations from those. Expanding and bringing in our complementary colors.
Finally, six of the most liked logos were picked and put at web size for a panel to discuss.
From there, the fourth logo, the blue "Interconnect" matched the KHC Connect look the most and was more versatile for the future.
