The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  julie.bushliteracy

Company Name: Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation

Company Slogan: 

Description and What We Do: The Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation was established in 2013 as a charitable organization focused on improving the quality of life for Houston residents through the power of literacy. It is founded on the belief held by Barbara Bush, former First Lady, if you help a person to read, then their opportunities in life will be endless. The Bush Family created the Houston-based foundation separate from the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, a national foundation, in response to the need to deepen the awareness of and intensify services and support for the nation’s fourth largest and most diverse city – Houston. Co-chaired by Neil and Maria Bush, the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation advocates for literacy as a fundamental right of everyone and a foundational skill towards success in life. That is why the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation has taken on the important role of expanding the awareness of the value of literacy and building the capacity throughout the Houston community by mobilizing community resources – funding, volunteers, services and other – to dramatically increase the literacy rates among people of all ages. Literacy must be elevated as an imperative for every man, woman and child in Houston. We encourage everyone in Houston to become an active partner with us in solving Houston’s biggest challenge. It is an entire community’s responsibility to ensure that every man, woman and child is literate. Literacy is much more than being able to read. Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak clearly and think critically. There is no bigger problem facing our community and our country than illiteracy. The consequences of illiteracy are harmful and significantly impact society – both socially and economically. Illiteracy denies a person the ability to reach his or her God-given, full potential in life. High school dropout rates, unemployment rates and incarceration rates are all linked with illiteracy, and every one of these outcomes comes at a high price to our social and economic health.

Industry Type: Community and Foundations

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 Literacy is much more than being able to read. Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak and think critically. Logo should not convey that the Foundation is simply about reading books.

#2 There is no bigger problem facing our community and our country than illiteracy. Conversely, that literacy is an imperative for everyone and is the foundation for social and economic succes

#3 The Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation is dedicated to increasing awareness of the value of literacy and mobilizing resources from across the city increase literacy rates of people of all ages.

Our Target Audience:

Logo must resonate for all citizens of Houston; of all ages; be prominent particularly among key business, education, community and political leaders.

We appreciate all of the artists/designers contributions thus far and particularly prefer the logos where the artwork and name of the foundation are more proportionate in size. We appreciate those of you who made modifications based on our comment posted yesterday. Good luck!

We would like to see some designs where the font size of "Barbara Bush" is not as large and where the name of the foundation is across three lines of Barbara Bush then Houston then Literacy Foundation. Also, Barbara Bush is also known for her "pearls" so we are interested if that can be woven into the logo at all. Finally, we would appreciate seeing any artwork beside the stacked name. We are appreciative of the creativity and artistry thus far.

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND SELECTED.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

 

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

 

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!

Please recommend us to your friends and business associates for all of their logo design and web page design needs.
