My company is sponsoring a logo contest over at logosauce.com. We put up a $400 prize and anyone on the internet can login and maybe win. It is an exciting to watch so many designers submit ideas for a logo design, but also a little frustrating. A lot of the designs are uninspired. So I put together a collection of some of my favorite icons from around the web that are inspiring to me.
The way I see it, a name like "Base 22" lends itself to these possible directions:
- Mathematics - Base 2 is binary, Base 10 in the our most common counting system, Base 22 is a math system with 22 symbols and where "22" is the new "10"
- Building - Base "“ as foundation or a building block
- Science - Base "“ in science "“ the opposite of an Acid
- Teamwork - Base as a home for a team "“ military base, army base, moon base
- Home - Base as home "“ as in baseball "“ first base, second base
- 22 "“ atomic number of titanium
- "Base 22" as a set of letters to play with
Most of the designers have only focused on the last of those and made variations of Big 2, Big B, ect. So I wanted to explore what they could do with the other options.
Base as a Building
A base is a fort, castle, headquarters, home, launch pad, or team living space. So there are a ton of ideas there.
Base as a foundation or building block
B's and 2's
If your just going to play with the name, don't just play with the "2" 
Then there are logos that have nothing to do with the name that would still be awesome.
