I think this is the best choice for companies to be simple and attractive.

This was intended to be the cover of a brochure. It would not be good scaled down to small logo size. Thanks for the comment! You’re absolutely right, Hong Kong.

However if it should be used as a logo in a document and scaled down, how does it look then? I feel at some point people stop reading the vertical part. But I might be wrong as well...

Fantastic work and it's well deserved that banks hire you! This surely is an idea how to construct graphics. I must say that this post made good impression on me.

I have never seen anything like this before. Took some creativity that is for sure. Sounds like you have a good design business if banks are contacting you. Is it because of this blog? -Paul I really like what you did. I have never seen anything like this before. Took some creativity that is for sure.

The font is Aachen bold – my favourite slab serif. You're very right that people (myself included) get caught in the trap of wanting to add and add and add when sometimes simplicity really sells.

Unfortunately, many folks (who aren't designers) aren't brave enough to brand their companies with such simple, thoughtful designs (Hehe, it's a pity we can't send our customers to design school—we get taught to simplify and deconstruct, but we spend our careers slapping on extra bells and whistles). Although, I think cultural issues have a lot to do with it—I know a German guy whose logo is a circle, with a smaller circle inside it (kind of like a reversed bulls-eye); that kind of logo would probably never fly with a US company, for example (then again, it might if it's red, white & blue—with a drop shadow… LOL) Very cool—I like the “blunt” serifs in the font you’ve chosen (what font is that, btw?).

Your post mentioned that a logo like that would force visitors to take a second look, and I definitely took a second and a third and a fourth before I even read your post. The image is very clean and simple, but powerful. Really good job! I am a huge fan of simple and elegant typography, and this logo/slogan is really nice.
