The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  NDCFKara

Company Name: Richardton Area Community Foundation

Company Slogan: 

Description and What We Do: The Richardton Area Community Foundation is a public nonprofit organization in Richardton, North Dakota. The Foundation awards grants annually to local nonprofit groups for nonprofit community programs or projects, such as the local rural clinic, nursing home, parks and recreation, and school programs. The mission is to improve the quality of life for residents of the community through charitable giving and promoting philanthropy. The Foundation is a permanent part of the community - gifts to the fund are invested and only a portion of the investment returns are used for grants each year (i.e. endowment fund).

Industry Type: Community and Foundations

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 simplicity

#2 longevity/permanence

#3 strength - we are the foundation of the community

Our Target Audience:

Rural North Dakota residents, all ages, all industries, mostly conservative (politically and economically). The area is heavily farming/ranching, so wheat fields/grain would be appropriate. The terrain is rolling hills/buttes, which may also be incorporated into the logo (Western North Dakota, but NOT the Badlands).

We Like These Colors:

Main color should be royal blue, and shades of royal blue. Other colors we would like to see are green, orange, and grey. Ideal logo would be in color on a white background.

After reviewing the submissions so far, we prefer NOT to see the abbreviation RACF in the logo.

We would love to see more submissions that incorporate the rural landscape referenced above: Rolling hills or buttes, and farming/ranching.

#5 and #6 are much closer to what we are looking for, as far as the nod to our rural community. The blue is exactly what we're looking for, but the green (of the words Richardton Area and in the image in #6) is too bright.

We like that submission #4 has depth to both the image and the words, and that the image reflects the hills that characterize the area our foundation reaches.

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.
