The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  milliek

Company Name: Old Government House, Tortola

Company Slogan: 

Description and What We Do: This is a charity and a visitor attraction in the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. It is a historic house and gardens that is opened to the public. It is where the Governors (the Queen's representatives) lived during the 20th century and is now a museum with an attractive shop and gardens to look around.

Industry Type: Travel and Hospitality

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 History - an elegant, classic building (you can use one of the outline drawings attached if you would like)

#2 Exoticness of the lush, tropical garden around the house. (perhaps some tropical leaves to be incorporated into design)

#3 Royal connections (don't think we can use royal crest but to match that kind of style. Maybe incorporate the canons?)

Our Target Audience:

Aged 50+, wealthy and educated, enjoy history and culture and may have a love of gardening. Most are professionals or retired professionals. Many from USA and some from Europe. Also design needs to suit local Caribbean population who are proud of this historic building.

Thank you very much indeed to everyone who took the time to enter this contest. We really appreciate your support and really hope you come and visit us in the British Virgin Islands sometime!
We have now shortlisted the designs that were entered and will rank them now. I then have a couple of final tweaks to request from those designers and next week we hope that the Board of Old Government House will decide on a new logo.
Thanks again to all the designers and we wish you well for future projects, Millie

Thanks for the additional entries. Sorry to contradict my earlier enthusiasm but colleagues have suggested we veer away from canons as it gives the wrong impression about how the Governors ruled. (The site was previously a fort which is why the canons are there). Please stick to the building and lush gardens. Thank you.

Thanks for the submissions. Don't know if there is a fault with the system but I don't seem to have the functionality to rank. My current favourites are submissions 19 and 1. My current least favourites are 13, 9 and 6. Many thanks.

Wish I could edit that comment and take out the direct suggestions. I am not a designer! Just please try to convey the tropical garden as well as the house. Many thanks. Maybe I should have given more flexibility on colours too. Whatever you suggest to achieve our overall aims. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for everyone who has taken part so far.
Please can I guide you to increase the focus on the garden. It is full of palm trees of different types and other Caribbean plants and is very lush and tropical. (There is an 'Old Government House Museum OGHM Facebook page that has many more pictures). Please can you try to incorporate this more into the logo. Perhaps it could have a tropical leaf around it. Maybe the word Tortola could be in green.
Thanks everyone for the time you have put into this so far. We hope great branding will really help us relaunch this lovely old building that was so destroyed in hurricanes 2 years ago.

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 RANKED #1.

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.
