Family of Simple, Clean Icons for Business Skills Training

Simply Business Skills

Simply Business Skills is an employability skills training company. We teach the transferrable skills that employers identify as essential, but generally lacking in new graduate hires. These generic “employability skills” are required to perform well in any job, but are rarely formally taught at school, college or university.

####################################################
IMPORTANT NOTE - We are not expecting designers to produce 10 icons in their initial concepts. This is too much work! 2 or 3 should be enough for us to decide who to ask to work it up to the full 10
####################################################

Buyers are individual people looking to upgrade their employability skills before entering (or returning to work), or schools and universities looking to supplement their offering to students by adding these “real world” courses. The main target market is Indians.

We are seeking 10 icons, one for each of the following workshops.

1. Business and Customer Awareness Skills
2. Business Numeracy Skills
3. Communication Skills
4. Motivation Skills
5. Networking Skills
6. Problem Solving and Decision Making Skills
7. Project Management Skills
8. Sales and Negotiation Skills
9. Self-Management Skills
10. Teamwork and Leadership Skills

Summaries of each workshop can be read by following links from the following page: http://www.sbskills.com/courses

The icons must:

a) All be recognisably part of the same “family” of icons with the same basic shape
b) Be optimised to look good at 60x60 pixels (but supplied with PSD files so their size can be changed later if required).
c) Look good on a white background (they will end up on this page: http://www.sbskills.com/courses)
d) Be coloured so that they don’t clash with the current colour scheme of http://www.sbskills.com
e) Be simple and clean and graphically represent the theme of each workshop (e.g. Business Numeracy Skills might have a simple representation of numbers, or a calculator, or a balance sheet. Communication Skills will have some visual representation of verbal and written communication. Etc.)
f) Just be vector graphics (no text).
