Bold new logo for popular start-up recruiting website / company

Putnam Recruiting Group

This company has the potential to be a major brand in the increasingly popular recruiting agency industry. We are based out of California and focus on recruiting across all different skill sets including IT, green technologies, sales, and finance/accounting.

Companies love working with us because we bring a "fun and out-of-the-box" approach to our business. We take pride in being different from other "standard" recruiting agencies.

Our target audience is Fortune 5000 companies across all industries, and we provide two major values: 1. quality candidates, and 2. personalized and trustworthy customer service.

Be creative. This is the most important requirement. Ideally, I'm looking for a clean, original design. I'd love to see a fresh logo - something that catches the eye and looks professional at the same time. But, I don't want it to have too much of the "corporate-feeling" either. I like blue colors, specifically gray-blues. Not a super bright blue, but not a dark-dark blue either.

It might be interesting to see a couple designs with a "person" logo or an outline of a person logo. Perhaps the outline of a person could be inside a circle. But, this is just one idea, and you might have something you think would look even better. I trust your creativity.

Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo. Also, I like shadows, but not overdone shadows.
