Also, seeking a logo that is immediately recognizable/significant and can be used to assist in branding our organization.

Tourism is also a growing industry in this region based upon natural scenic beauty within the western Pembina County area and within Nelson County around Stump Lake. Nature-based tourism and fitness events.

This region includes the City of Grand Forks which is the urban center with a population of approximately 50,000 people. The City of Grand Forks is home to many of the region's largest employers, healthcare providers, and a state university. Outside the City of Grand Forks, this region's economy is largely based on agricultural, value-added processing of agricultural products, human services, and manufacturing.

Would like examples that do not emphasize the color red as it does not have any particular significance. Open to more color palettes and suggestions. Current logo utilizes green and blue signifying green earth (we are in some of the riches agricultural soils in the world) and sky. When I think of sky, I think of "Sky's the limit and in ND, we sure have a lot of sky!" People, water, agriculture, industry, natural resources, history. Forward motion. Progressive change. Community betterment.

Prefer no stars or symbols of patriotism. Greater emphasis on "regional council" than the logos that have been shown to date.

Thank you for all of the submissions to date!

The logos with the river appears to signify movement - upward movement is good. The Red River of the North actually flows north - so, another good connotation. There is no "red" significance to this name other than a name, therefore, it does not need to be emphasized or even a tie to the color red. The Red River flows north into Manitoba, Canada and there are joint watersheds between the two countries. Many of these logos lack adequate emphasis on the words "Regional Council" - which is comprised of many local leaders common together for the common good of the region - therefore, greater emphasis on "regional council" would be appreciated.

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.
