Company name: All Hands on Deck for APAC

What we do:

Here's how the event will be described in the convention literature: Hop aboard a luxury yacht and set sail to support APAC at the All Hands on Deck Yacht Party. Guests will enjoy an open bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres, dancing, and an auction benefiting APAC. Boarding and sail-away photos begin at 6:45 p.m. at the Boca Raton Resort & Club Marina. Be sure to arrive on time and don’t let the fun sail away without you!

Our industry: Non-Profit

Top Three Things to Communicate through our Logo:

#1 - Nautical/Yacht/Luxury

#2 - South Florida

#3 - Fun

Our Target Market:

Florida Apartment Association members who'd like to enhance their annual conference experience with an evening cruise through the Intercoastal waters of South Florida with their industry colleagues (all while raising funds for the political action committee of the association).

This event will cost the attendees an extra $200 on top of their registration fee, so we need to make sure it is being marketed as a special, luxury event.

Styles that we are interested in:

Emblems

Values to communicate:

Feminine		Masculine
Young		Mature
Luxury		Economical
Modern		Classic
Playful		Serious
Loud		Quiet
Simple		Complex
Subtle		Obvious

Color preferences:

Our current APAC logo is red, white and blue -- but don't feel like you have to stick to that! This contest is to create a logo for the event that supports APAC -- not for APAC itself.

Our Ideas and Additional Information:

We loved our logo for last year's fundraiser -- an evening at Disney's EPCOT (food, wine, fireworks) to support APAC. You can see that logo here:

logoarena United States Admin	October 23rd, 2017, 4:15pm 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.

jgoldvava United States Contest holder	October 25th, 2017, 1:51pm For those of you who are using a yacht image in the logo, here is a photo of what the yacht we're renting actually looks like: yachtchartersnow.com/our-fleet/the-grand-floridian/ yachtchartersnow.com/wp-conten…

jgoldvava United States Contest holder	October 25th, 2017, 1:53pm We don't want/need to see the APAC tagline "Preserving and advancing members’ interests through political advocacy" anywhere in the logo

jgoldvava United States Contest holder	October 26th, 2017, 8:05pm We're getting a lot of logos that look too similar to last year's logo (circular, text ringing the illustration). We'd like to see something different this year. Also, we are not married to the idea of the logo including the yacht. There are lots of other nautical imagery that would be just as impactful (anchor, captain's wheel, life preserver, captain's cap, etc). The cruise will be starting at sunset and running into the night, so that could be part of the environment of the design as well (sunset, or starry sky, or moon, etc). The cruise will take place through the intercoastal waterway of south florida, so designers could include palm trees or other imagery that relates to South Florida.

jgoldvava United States Contest holder	October 28th, 2017, 8:15pm Still too many submissions coming in with circular logos. We're looking to do something different from last year's logo -- not the same. Also, don't be afraid to move away from a Red, White and Blue color scheme -- we're happy to see colors. Finally, the logo does NOT need to include an image of the yacht -- there are many other ways to portray the idea of a yacht party.

winraj India Logo designer	October 29th, 2017, 5:05pm what u want design sir. any example.

jgoldvava United States Contest holder	October 29th, 2017, 5:43pm We really liked all top three winners of this contest: logoarena.com/logo-contests/ho… We like them because they have lots of colors, they are NOT circular, they have many elements within the design, and it is very clear what is being promoted. Our logo could include several of the following elements (not necessarily all of them) -- Yacht, Palm Trees, Moon or Sunset, Wine Glasses, Music Note, Water... I look forward to seeing the revised logos!
