Logo Design for Product Comparison Platform

We are building Whydud, a new-age platform where users can compare products across platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, etc.), check reviews, view our proprietary DudScore, and make smarter buying decisions.

We’re looking for a logo designer who can create a brand identity that balances trust and professionalism with a touch of playfulness. The name “Whydud” plays on the idea of helping people avoid bad purchases, so the logo should capture:

Trustworthiness - users should feel confident in relying on Whydud
Clarity & Simplicity -easily recognizable and scalable for web/app use
Playful Twist - subtle elements that make it memorable and relatable

What we’re looking for in the logo:

A clean wordmark + symbol combination (usable separately if needed)
Elements that reflect comparisons, ratings, winners vs duds
Modern, minimal, and versatile (works in app icon, website, and print)
Professional look, but not boring or corporate-heavy

Deliverables:

Primary logo (full version)
App icon / favicon version
Black & white version
Source files (AI/PSD/SVG) and export in PNG/JPG

Nice to Have:
Exploration of color palettes that align with the brand identity
Typography suggestions for brand use
Timeline: 1-2 weeks.

Please include in your proposal:

Portfolio with past logo work (preferably for tech, consumer apps, or review platforms)
