Logo Design Brief
I need a modern, I think the term is minimalist style logo for my flight training company targeting the home flight simulator community.
So what does my company do?........The flight sim community prefers complex airlines, yet there is no good training out there to teach everything properly. As an actual airline instructor pilot, my company will replicate and tailor airline type rating training (the training to learn your assigned aircraft) to fit the needs of the community. In the real world when you complete the training, the final test is a Type Rating Checkride in the simulator, pilots commonly refer to this as the Type Ride, which is were we got our name.
THE DESIGN: I'd like to see the design have a minimalist style icon (a good idea is to make it of the airplane yoke "steering wheel"). Because the yoke hase a natural Y shape, it would be good to see some ideas with the icon replacing the Y in TYPE.....not all designs must have this, it's just an idea. As far as color, I am open to ideas and would love to see some different color palettes.
I am very skilled with Canva though, I came here for a higher quality than what I can do myself. I have attached some logos that I like from my industry.....my favorite is Parallel 42, that one is pretty cool. I have also added a cockpit photo for reference.....One Idea I had was maybe trying to replace the Y in Type with a yoke (the pilot's "steering wheel"). I don't want all designs to have this but it's an idea I have thought about.
