Company overview:
In a cluttered world, where virtually anyone can call themselves a business coach or consultant, Compass Business Navigators offer a unique business mentoring program giving private businesses all the tools need to succeed through each stage of the businesses life.
From helping with traditional business planning and strategy, risk management, people and hr issues, through to attending board/owner meetings after preparing concise and easy-to-understand financial reports, budgets and projections, and finally right through to stakeholder communication and effectively tackling social media - the Business Navigators provide an arsenal of tried-and-true business tools, applications and guides as well as personalised mentoring programmes and project consulting. The tools have been developed by the company and are very unique in the market, and have been tested and proven with clients.

Market conditions
Cluttered market of business coaches as well as other professional entities (especially accountants and solicitors) offering similar services. Many of these do not have the commercial and professional experience that we can provide through our network of hands on advisors. Our advisors have all had long term relevant industry and technical leadership roles before joining us.
Other companies with similar names/concepts using old fashioned colours and imagery (particularly cliche images of graphs with arrows, compasses, navigational devices).
Where logo will be used:
Printed
Online
Software applications - browser and tablet based
Signage
Possible embroidering
Preferred colours:
No rules. Will leave this open to designer discretion.
Maybe - a bright colour combined with navy blue and grey? Don’t want to apply any creative restrictions here. Open to all ideas.
Particular consideration needs to be given to how the logo will appear on a computer screen or tablet. Needs to be clean and not too cluttered or complex.
Visual style:
Open to designer’s discretion - but needs to be modern and stylish. No dated images of a compass, arrows etc or indicative of cliches like ‘Sailing to Success’. Needs to be very contemporary, fresh and bold.
