Refine an existing logo concept into a production-ready vector identity system (SVG, all variants)

VERSANTLY — REFINE A LOGO CONCEPT INTO A PRODUCTION VECTOR IDENTITY SYSTEM THE JOB We have one chosen concept for our "V" icon (attached). We need a skilled vector designer to redraw it from scratch as an original, production-ready vector logo, then build the full system around it — lockups, colour variants, and all file formats. This is refinement and system-building, not concept exploration. We are not after new ideas or a different "V" — we want this one mark perfected. ABOUT THE BRAND Versantly is an Australian AI training and advisory firm for mid-market business and government. Brand personality: credible, systematic, modern. The feeling we want is "quietly expensive" — restrained, confident, grown-up. Think serious professional- services or fintech, not a flashy tech startup. Instant rejection if these appear anywhere: brains, circuit boards, robots, neural networks, glowing orbs, "AI" swooshes, sparkles, or any generic AI cliché. THE MARK (see attached) An upward-chevron "V" — two angled strokes rising to a shared apex, reading as the letter V with a sense of ascent and progress, carrying a blue-to-purple gradient. IMPORTANT: Do not auto-trace the attached image. Redraw it as fresh, original, fully editable vector. The attachment shows the direction; you execute it as clean original artwork we can register as a trademark. PRESERVE - The upward-chevron silhouette, clearly readable as "V" - The blue-to-purple gradient as the signature treatment - Instant readability at any size REFINE - Correct the gradient to our exact brand colours: Sky #0EA5E9 to Violet #8B5CF6 (the reference blue drifted and must be pulled back to #0EA5E9) - Even, deliberate stroke weights and true, clean geometry (the reference edges are slightly uneven) - Resolve the two strokes so the mark reads unmistakably as a single "V" — not as "IV" or two separate shapes - Crisp, intentional apex and terminals - Must stay legible at 16px (favicon) - Must work as a flat single colour, not only as the gradient BRAND SPECS (do not substitute) - Gradient: #0EA5E9 to #8B5CF6 - Navy / ink (wordmark + single-colour mark): #0F172A - Wordmark typeface: Satoshi Bold (free via Fontshare) — set the word "versantly"; show us both lowercase and title case DELIVERABLES - Lockups: primary horizontal, stacked, mark-only, wordmark-only - Colour variants: full-colour gradient, solid navy, all-white reverse, solid black - Files: SVG masters, print-ready PDF, transparent PNGs (1x/2x/3x), favicon (16/32/48 + .ico), square social avatar (512 + 1024), editable source (.ai or layered SVG) - One-page usage sheet: clear space, minimum sizes, do/don't REQUIREMENTS - Original hand-built vector, fully editable (no AI auto-trace) - Full IP transfer to Lycaon Media Pty Ltd on final payment - You warrant the work is original and infringes no third-party rights (we will register it as a trademark) BUDGET & TIMELINE - Fixed price, two milestones: (1) refined mark + primary lockup for review, (2) full system — all variants and formats plus editable source files - Two revision rounds included - 7–10 business days TO APPLY, PLEASE ANSWER 1. Share 3–4 examples of vector logo / brand work you drew yourself (not AI art) 2. Confirm you will deliver editable source files and full IP transfer 3. In a line or two: how do you keep a mark legible at 16px and in a single colour? Generic template proposals that do not reference the "V" will be ignored.
