Centennial Logo Design Creation

My family-run company is about to mark its 100-year anniversary and I need a timeless, classic logo to anchor all of our centennial promotional pieces. The finished artwork must feature our company name, the original established date, and a tasteful symbol or icon that communicates heritage and longevity without feeling dated. I am leaning toward traditional serif fonts, balanced spacing, and a refined colour palette that will look just as good embossed on stationery as it will printed on banners or shared online.

Here’s how I picture the process and what I expect to receive:

Ammendments to currency concept design
• 3–5 initial concepts presented as high-resolution PDFs or JPGs
• One selected concept taken through two rounds of refinements ,
Used for basic logo, promotional prints, and email signature
• Final delivery in fully editable vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) plus web-ready PNG and JPG exports
• A simple usage guide noting colours (Pantone/CMYK/RGB) and fonts used

We like the idea of utilising the company logo to represent the 0's in '100 years' - basic design attached

When you send your proposal, include samples of past logo work that demonstrate a classic or heritage style—this is the main factor I’ll use in shortlisting. If you have experience adapting logos for anniversary campaigns, highlight that as well.

I’m ready to move quickly and aim to have the final logo locked within three weeks of project start.
