The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  jeff.wilson@wfp.com

Company Name: Georgetown Living

Company Slogan: Georgetown Living (please use this in the logo)

Description and What We Do: Real estate website that will serve buyers looking to purchase homes in Georgetown, an expensive area of Washington, DC.

Industry Type: Mortgage and Real Estate

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 Iconic Georgetown images (attached)

#2 Traditional, classic design elements

#3 Expensive

Our Target Audience:

Buyers who have a strong desire to be in Georgetown, one of the most desirable areas of Washington, DC. There is a student population (parents buying houses for kids who go to this very expensive university), as well as people who aspire to live there and spend up to $5M for a house there. People who live in Georgetown consider themselves part of a special club, an elite area, steeped in tradition, vintage Federal and Victorian houses, expensive antique shops, great restaurants.

We Like These Colors:

Traditional colors, nothing colorfully bright, I have attached several images that are iconic to Georgetown and am looking for the best combination of the words and the imagery. The bank's dome is iconic as is Key Bridge and the rowers on the Potomac. Other "traditional" home design elements are also popular there - black painted windows, beautiful lanterns, boxwood topiaries, etc.

Sorry I've eliminate so many designs. Some had elements that don't say luxury. And, I'm not a fan of all the scrolling lines. I prefer clean, bold, traditional elements smartly combined. I also prefer that the word "Georgetown" not be split to look like 2 words. It's never presented that way so the logo must make people think of how they always see it written. Thanks so much.

I'm not a huge fan of all of the scrolls in some of the designs. I have ranked my favorites based on other elements that I like in those designs. I tend to prefer designs that are bold and traditional yet simple and elegant without trying to get overly fancy. Hope that helps. Thanks!

It might also be nice to see some designs that put the word "Georgetown" on a sign like the "antiques" sign, black background, gold letters, possibly flanked by boxwoods or lanterns. Just an idea.

I'm not sure the bank is really doing it. It is iconic Georgetown but it's not conveying enough traditional/charming/old world architecture. I've added some lanterns. I'd like to see more designs with boxwood topiaries, beautiful lanterns (probably straight on and not at an angle).

The dome of the bank is gold. If we end up selecting a logo with the bank on it I might suggest that the colors be black and gold - the dome being gold for sure. Thanks!

I almost think that the words Georgetown Living need to take center stage with the iconography working around them.

I would like to see designs that feel more expensive. I would like to see some color variation in the single color designs. The logos need not have multiple "inspiration" concepts included as long as the one or two are bold enough. Thank you!

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.
