I apologize I have not commented in a while. I was very busy with work. We will look at finalizing this contest next week. We will have another contest soon for the Star Fellows Program at Hebrew Union College.

We will be meeting tomorrow to discuss the designs that are left. Until then, we will not have anymore general comments. Thank you again for all your creative talent. Sara

In addition:
1) We tend to like the left justified entries the best.
2) We have deleted almost all entries that focus on either the name Sara or the name Crown or the name Star. best to keep balance with all three names.

Thanks

Hello all. We are coming down to the end. We've tried to indicate what speaks to us the most by ranking. If you'd like to submit more, please do so in the vain of what we have ranked. We are liking:
1) The rainbow color scheme.
2) Images that seem to be "giving energy," "uplifting"
3) The tree and connectivity themes
4) The professional and balanced entries
We've liked a few different directions beyond that: elegance and edginess.
Most importantly, we seem to come back to looking for a message that speaks to us.

Thank you for all your efforts. We really like where this is going.
Best,
Sara

Hello everyone:
Below are our latest comments. We are not wedded to any particular direction, so please feel free to go in any of the directions we suggest below. We will choose in the end the design we like the best:
1) We like the concept of a person coming out of the base of a tree (#156) It sends a message of empowerment/things growing from my efforts.
2) We like the idea of integrating the "o" in crown seamlessly into the icon (#'s 144, 149 and 201)
3) Although I love the rainbow colors, pls remember this is intended to be professional -- not a not for profit like symbol.
4) We think #216 and 217 is super sharp, has a great color scheme, is very professional and cool! it sends that message of connectivity.
We love the originality we are seeing and so appreciate all of your talent, time and effort. Thank you in advance, again, for all your work on this logo. Best, Sara

Once again, my day was swallowed up by this family emergency. I will have a team look for decisions and advice tomorrow. I have been told they are available. Again, I sincerely apologize for the lack of feedback. Sara

I am still dealing with a family medical emergency. We will do my best to get comments out tomorrow. I just could not get to this today.
Thank you again to those who are putting time and effort into this contest. Best, Sara

Unfortunately, there has been a family medical emergency on our side. I apologize we were not able to review the entries and comment today. I will make sure we do that and that I comment to you just as soon as I am able. Sara

Hello everyone. We hope you are having a good day/night. Thank you for your efforts. Comments for today:
1) We love the colors in submissions 70 and 75. Please feel free to work with either combinations.
2) We like the connectivity in submission 110. We'd love to see more iterations of "connectedness."
3) We think submission 110 is really interesting. It definitely grasps the message we are trying to send, but it looks too much like a not-for-profit logo. i.e. too lovey-dovey. For those who go this direction, can you please try to create something similar but more professional?
4) We really like how the "S" is integrated into 124 and 75. We also love the tree motiff.
5) We love the balance in 70, 110 and 119
6) We think 117 could be interesting if a literal representation of a globe were in the middle of the "o" in the word "crown." We think if the globe is a green color for where there is land and blue for where there is water, it could be interesting.
We hope these comments are helpful. Thank you so much again for all your hard work and effort! Sara

Thank you to everyone who is still working on the logo. We eliminated many logos tonight to try to help create clarity in our direction. We hope the below notes help for further designs:
1) We like the color palate on 75.
2) We like the balanced design on 70, including the line separator.
3) We like the concept #77 infers of connectivity and moving the world forward.
Please look at the image we added in the contest description and think about whether you can add in this theme of connectivity: I am a connector! I connect people and ideas. The link to this image is:

It's a direction -- not an image I expect you to copy or use. Thank you.

I would also like designers to consider the Share/Connect icon that we added into photos. A lot of what I do is "connecting" and would like to see this integrated into the logo.

Please focus on a symbol that IS NOT:
1) An SCS
2) A crown
3) A star
Can you please try to be creative based on what I do, not based on my name. My previous posts and the initial link I submitted explain more of what I do. Thank you. Sara

Hello. I am having trouble ranking tonight. I am traveling and the internet in my hotel is not allowing me to rank and move the images. I can tell you, I like symbol images better than the SCS images. I also seem to like the rainbow colors in the very small discreet pictures -- you'll note the Jewish General Hospital logo has small independent pieces of color. I will get this updated just as soon as I have better internet coverage. Thank you again for your incredible talent! Sara

Hello everyone. I am sorry I was unable to comment before now. It was a full day today. Has everyone read what I put on the link? I feel as though you are all focused on the symbols that go with my name "crown and star." That could be great, but there hasn't been any creativity around what I do. At dinner tonight friends made suggestions like: helping hands, interlocking circles or a globe, a wand with a star at the end (that is juvenile), but creative. I do so many different things but there is a thread. I am a lawyer by training -- not currently practicing. I am "a connector." I am constantly helping people and organizations. I am on the board of schools and foundations and invest in socially good companies. I am creating a product but that's under a confidentiality agreement. If I knew how to easily describe what I do, I would do it, but I don't. That's part of the reason why I am reaching out to all of you for help. A light bulb could be in interesting symbol. I love nature, hiking and trees -- that probably is why I was so drawn to the Jewish General Hospital logo and suggested green. Red is my favorite color, but green and red is much too Christmasy for me. I'm not wedded to green or red though. This needs to be much more professional than what I'm seeing. This is not a logo for a circus or a sorority. This is going to be on a business card. I do love the fonts and the font sizes. . I hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know what I can do to help you. I so appreciate your trying to help me figure this out! I am in meetings solid all day tomorrow too and committed tomorrow night. I will check in on the website when I can. Sara

Hello everyone. Thank you, all of you, for trying to help me by designing a great logo. So far, I like:
1) The simplicity and image in #2
2) The font size and style in #7
3) I like the colors best of the Jewish General Hospital logo
I do not know how to rank yet. I will try to learn tomorrow as I know that will help you. Thank you again for your time, effort and expertise! Sara

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.
