## Rebranding of a recognized European non-profit Association ##

""

Let me describe what we do and who we are. Our association is non-profit oriented and we strive for providing high quality education for financial markets professionals. Our members are trained in ethic model codes when interacting with other players in the financial markets. Members as well as external candidates also can pass two exams with our association which certifies them important hands-on knowledge about interacting with financial markets. Another very important part of our activities is our networking, as we hold significant relationships with central banks and other financial institutes.

Our members primary work in banks in departments such as Treasury, Investment Banking, Risk Management or Finance & Accounting. Most members range between an age of 40 and 60 years, however, we started bringing more and more younger people in.

I have attached two color codes, please refer to them..
A) blue with grey tones
B) dark red, dark blue with organe

We want to rebrand our new financial markets association "" which will be founded in Germany at the beginning of next year and will be launched in other European countries soon thereafter.

For our European association we need a new logo and a complete new website. First, we just look for the logo design only, but we will conduct a web design contest thereafter and want to contract with designers to build a more complex website.

The logo we think of shall really fit the core of our association: education and networking. It shall be serious, calm and look very professional. We don’t need anything playful, however, we can (also want to) show we are a modern association and not like „Times New Roman“ ;-). The logo shall also be recognizable among our competitors.

Here is what we want you to play around with. Use none, some or all of the below:
- Can make something out of the name "" only
- Can include the European stars
- Can include the shape of a country like Germany
- Can include the map of Europe
- Can be something liek the logo of European parliament
- Can make a coat of arms

When it comes to colors, I have attached 2 color codes. These are just for orientation, please play around and see what you think harmonizes best. You can also just use 2 colors instead of three.

Thank you and looking forward to you designs
