    Logo Name:
    How to PowerShell
    Company Intro:
    HowToPowerShell.com will be a niche website authored by me aiming to rank high in search results for specific PowerShell (Microsoft scripting language) questions and provide code snippets in how-to format. I would eventually moneitze with ads and/or info products like training.
    Instructions:
    PowerShell capitalized as "PowerShell", and I plan on styling normal typing of the site as "How to PowerShell", but the logo can treat "how to" as the designer sees fit as long as it's clear I'm not presenting myself as representing/being Microsoft or PowerShell. I have nothing in particular in mind, but while looking at examples I find myself wanting clean, quickly-readable text without too much complexity in any graphic component. I tend to like cute and/or clever, but for this site I want the first-time reader to get the impression I have no-nonsense, solid, direct, on-point answers to their questions and problems. So cute or clever need to be limited or subtle in this case. PowerShell is a product with its own logo, and I want to make it clear that I am offering information about it and am not trying to present that PowerShell is my brand or product. Its logo is very similar to a white ">_" on a blue background, so let's avoid confusion by avoiding similar logos and *avoid* including a PowerShell-logo-alike in my logo. I sometimes imagine a person at a PC working on script, perhaps looking back over their shoulder at the reader, but I just can't imagine how that could be condensed into a reasonably clean-looking logo. The person could represent myself or the reader as an IT systems person working diligently and pausing to offer or ask for help. And now I'm wondering whether or not the logo should include the ".com". I could go either way. The main choosing factor is ensuring I'm not appropriating the PowerShell name in my logo. I don't want any Microsoft lawyer or marketer to look at my logo and want to contact me about it.

    This is my first contest. Y'all are great! I find myself wishing I could use several logos for the site, but I'll have to choose one. Thanks for submitting!
