Contest Discussion





logoarena Canada Admin	January 25th, 2012, 6:13pm Welcome to LogoArena Here are some helpful tips for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses. Rank design entries daily, this will encourage participation. It is non-monetary means of showing appreciation for the Designers' hard work. The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see (you can do so by clicking on the logo you want to give feedback to). It will also guide the designers in the right direction. Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation. Designers earn points for top 10 ranked designs. We recommend ranking different designers for top ranks, It encourages more participation. The LogoArena design community wants you to get the best possible logo for your business. Thanks for using LogoArena.

tjnholmes Canada Contest holder	January 26th, 2012, 11:11pm Thank-you for all the submissions so far. Our organisation appreciates the competition as we hope that this we ensure the best possible choices. While books, grad caps and apples have become obvious symbols of education these may be a little cliche for the message we are trying to present and that is one of support, hope and professionalism. Please keep the ideas coming and we look forward to healthy competition bringing out the very best. Cheers.

tjnholmes Canada Contest holder	January 29th, 2012, 12:26pm There are some really great ideas coming. I would like to mention that as the logos come in we would like to limit them to three colors (including black, white, grey) to ensure our logo can be screen printed if needed and that the cost can remain low.

tjnholmes Canada Contest holder	January 30th, 2012, 10:48pm What a great collection of designers on this site. Thank-you for all your work and thoughts regarding our logo. Some additional thoughts that may take some creative direction: 1) The wild rose is the official flower of Alberta 2) Ripples in a pond referring to the difference school counsellors can make in the lives of students 3) Out stretched hands 4) Growth (plant - perhaps three leaves representing our three objectives)

tjnholmes Canada Contest holder	February 4th, 2012, 7:10pm Thank-you so much for all the submission for our contest. The top 25 are currently being evaluated by our executive and will have them narrowed down to a top 5 in the next few days. Cheers.
