Logo Design – Prize Pulse

I’m launching a new UK competition brand called Prize Pulse and I’m looking for a professional designer to create a premium, modern, memorable logo.

I don't want a typical competition/giveaway logo with trophies, money, gift boxes, cars, etc.

The brand should feel more like a modern tech/lifestyle brand — something that could become a recognisable national brand.

Brand name

Prize Pulse

Design direction
Modern
Premium
Bold
Clean
Minimal
Easily recognisable
Strong enough to work as an Instagram profile picture
Should look good on websites, social media, merchandise and advertising
Suitable for a brand that could become significantly bigger in the future
Ideally have a strong symbol/icon alongside the wordmark

I'm particularly interested in creative ways of incorporating the idea of a "pulse" into the logo — but I don't want an obvious ECG/heartbeat copied from existing logos.

I'd like you to think creatively about the P / PP / Pulse / Prize and create something ownable and distinctive.

Important

I don't want something that looks like a cheap competition or raffle company.

Avoid:

Trophies
Gift boxes
Coins/money symbols
Generic crowns
Casino-style graphics
Cars
Scratch cards
Overly complicated graphics

Think Nike / Revolut / Spotify / Monzo / modern tech startup in terms of how simple and recognisable the branding could eventually become.

Deliverables

I would like:

Main logo
Logo icon/mark
Wordmark
Horizontal version
Stacked version
Black version
White version
Transparent PNG files
SVG/vector files
Source/editable files
Font names
Colour codes
Basic brand guidelines

The logo needs to work particularly well as a small Instagram profile picture, so the icon/mark is important.

What I'm looking for from you

Please send:

I'm looking for someone who can genuinely think creatively rather than just put "Prize Pulse" into a template.
