Logo for Innovation & Collaboration Consulting Company 

Ossens.com will offer collaboration software, web 2.0 & coaching/consulting services. The logo should visualize a process of focused collaboration and communication to leverage innovation, to build consensus, etc. Common phases of our solution processes:
- Before: Chaos, conflict, problem, crisis, opposed interests
- Creative but structured Process:
1. Brainstorming and voting on goals/requirements/win-conditions
2. Collection of and discussion over issues/hurdles/problems
3. Creation of and voting on solution alternatives
4. Reach an agreement
- After: Innovation, consensus, solution

Although the logo should symbolize these dynamic and creative processes, it should follow the KISS (Keep it strictly simple) principle to signal structure.

We are looking forward to your ideas and are trying to get back to you on each single entry! Please take into account our posts to the discussions below.
