TONER Home Performance needs a custom logo and square icon for their new educational building science platform

[HIRING] Brutalist Logo & Scalable SVG Icon for Building Science Brand ($30/hr+ or Flat Rate) Hi everyone, I am the systems and software developer for TONER Home Performance, and I am looking to hire a designer to create a custom logo and square icon for our new educational building science platform, HatesHouses ([link in the post] We are aiming for a heavy, brutalist, and authoritative aesthetic. I plan to update the website's UI to match the final logo, so please do not feel restricted by the current layout. I want your design to set the standard for our cohesive new look. Deliverables: A square icon (symbol/mark) A custom text wordmark A combined lockup Technical Requirements (Crucial): Because I will be masking and recoloring the logo dynamically via CSS, the designs must be delivered as clean, single-color SVGs expanded into solid compound paths. There can be zero active strokes, gradients, clipping masks, or overlapping shapes. The square icon must also maintain strong legibility when scaled down to a 16x16 pixel favicon, relying entirely on thick foundational geometry rather than fine detail. Process & Legal: I require an initial rough sketch for review before digitization (this strictly rules out AI generation). The quote/invoice must include a full copyright transfer for commercial use so my company can legally register the trademark. Budget: Looking at a $200–$450 flat rate for the complete package, or we can negotiate an hourly rate ($25–$50/hr depending on experience and workflow). If this fits your skill set, please send me an email at [email in the post]. Introduce yourself and share your portfolio. Please specifically point out any past work that features minimalist, geometric, or brutalist vector icons that scale well. Thanks! To avoid spam, I will not be responding to DMs on Reddit or Discord.
