I'm a cross platform app developer. I use Xamarin as my tool of choice to build apps on multiple mobile platforms. Though I'm starting as a freelancer right now there is the intention to make this a serious business. I believe that I can build a sustainable and scalable company when there is always attention for continuous improvement. This continuous improvement requires experiments and metrics as feedback mechanisms of the evolution. Here's a sort of manifest I wrote last week about a company I'd like to build and what I think is important.<br><br>WHY<br>I strongly belief that great things can be achieved if space is constantly kept at a premium to evolve in everything that is being done. The joy of continuous evolution creates a sense of achievement being on a journey that will lead to even greater people and things.

- Should be possible to make a recognizable favicon out of it for the browser.<br>- Also because of the above I like logo's that have bolder/fatter shapes and forms which makes them clearly recognizable.<br>- I guess you'll do that but want it delivered as vector format.<br>- I usually like two tone/two tints in logo's. But having a single primary colour might go somewhat easier with my curreny website where I can adjust the primary colour. There's certain combinations I like such as grey/black and yellow, grey/black and orange, or blue and orange. Though green is also a colour I appreciate a lot. So given the description I'd also encourage you to pick colours that you feel fit.<br><br><br>I'd like both the aspect of continuous improvement/evolution and cross platform development to come back in the logo in some form. The junction part in the name came to me as a synonym for cross. You may play with capitalization of the word bit and junction if you like. bit is for instance usually written lower case where as Bytes is with the capital.<br><br>The subtitle oI wrote for my homepage today is: I operate where mobile platforms converge. The address of my homepage is: http://www.bitjunction.nl/<br><br>I attached some a picture with some scribbles. But by all means. I'd rather have you first tickle your own amagination before even looking at that. ;)

Hi all, I like your enthousiasm, keep em coming!
I''ve been giving this some more thinking and what might not be very clear is that I consider Continuous Improvement something foundational to the company I'm trying to build. So I expect some depth to a logo where there is a shape (that's where I got the circle arrow from) that resembles this continuous improvement as the foundation. Thus somewhere on the bottom.
Now the last sentence of my business brief is maybe also a good source for inspiration: "If continuous improvement is not ingrained in our genes we will not evolve and prosper."
So how about trying stuff with a genome shape.
Please ask me questions about my business brief as well and read it very carefully. This is also good feedback for mee since this is the identity I'm trying to build. So if this is not crystal clear to you it can clearly use some improvement. ;)
