On Going Designer Needed: Logo and Company Branding

Deal Pusher

Deal Pusher is the hippest slickest way to receive and redeem deals with smart phones.

I was the Brand Marketing Manager of a performance footwear company but I've moved on to pursue my life long entrepreneurship goal is tech savvy San Francisco. We are looking to build our creative team and hope you will become a key team member over time.

Our other team members include a mobile programer with experience at a well known social tech company and a successful business owner who consults for Deal Pusher.

The target audience is 21- 35 year, male or female, smart phone users, middle class, college education, enjoys going out with significant other or friends several times per week, an early adopter or early majority for new technologies, internet savvy, lives in a large city, hip, and an opinion leader among friends, heard of groupon or similar company...

The logo should include the words "Deal Pusher" and should not include the initials DP (they have a negative connotation that we are not trying to communicate)

Design Look - sexy polished and LIGHT INFUSED background with http://www.thecoolhunter.net colors

I love a good turquoise and/or the pink used in the first T of the coolhunter logo.

The voice or personality of the company will be 80s think Miami Vice and Good Times.

We'd love an unique (custom?) typeface that represents the 80% of our logo with about 20% represented as a graphic or graphics integrated into the text.

The logo should be scaleable - it will be used on a phone app icon and in large promotional materials.

We're open to suggestions with capitalization - should it be dealpusher, Deal Pusher, deal pusher...

We are open to ANY ideas. Feel free to create something totally different based on your strong opinions of wat makes a great logo and how to best represent what we stand for.

Ideally the logo would work from as small as a business card to as big as a t-shirt - if that's possible/appropriate. You're the expert - we are looking for strong opinions and your direction.

Thank you so much :)
