Create a delightfully nerdy logo design that software developers will love at first sight.

Kanone

We are an online learning platform offering courses in software development. Our vision is to create the most efficient pathway to a career as a software developer/coder/engineer/etc. Our primary target market is gender-neutral and between the ages of 18-23 (student recruitment). Our secondary audience is medium and large tech employers (graduate career placement).

I'd like to explore the following colors:

Let designers make suggestions:
Reds: Energy, action, passion and love.

Our greatest challenge is that we need assets which appeal to both the 18-24 demographic, and to large corporations. Our team has a preference for geometric concepts and prefers the works of MC Escher over Picasso. We are inherently nerdy, and are especially fond of pixel art (Eboy, etc.) and glitch art. When our team was brainstorming, we came up with a list of words including: modular/constructed of smaller elements that can be rearranged, recursive like fractals, geometric like Escher, etc. That said, these were merely our thoughts and I should stress that we are turning to 99designs to broaden our perspective. We look forward to a variety of concepts and ideas.
