The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  kettiletters

Company Name: Austin Kids Retreat

Company Slogan: 

Description and What We Do: Extended hours drop-in childcare center focusing on enriching children through science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). Parents can drop their children for any length of time and they will be cared for in a fun, stimulating, educational environment. Tons of fun!

Industry Type: Children

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 Education (STEAM)

#2 Premium childcare

#3 Exploration

Our Target Audience:

Parents (mid 20s-mid 40s) with children 6 weeks-13 years of age in a high-end Austin, Texas neighborhood. Needs to appeal to the more modern, affluent style of the area (not too cheesy/bright but we want to portray what our business does in the logo...some color is good to draw attention). We pride ourselves on cutting edge education/technology/activities so we want our logo to convey this. Would like to incorporate Austin into the logo if possible (maybe the 360 Bridge w/ kids playing on it?)

We Like These Colors:

We like teal, blues, greens- maybe a brighter green, teal or powder blue for a pop of color?...our center will be tucked off the main road a little bit and hidden by some trees so we do want our sign/logo to draw attention and portray what we do to traffic driving by

Ok, I know I said more pop on the color but the fonts with different color lettering looks too much like a circus. Thats a little overboard. Needs to be classy, elegant, but also bright. We like the bridge the color it is and possibly even the word "Austin" the same color. Just need more imagination than different color lettering.

We would also like to see other things that aren't the bridge. Possibly a shield/emblem type or maybe the skyline of Austin incorporated. We are really hoping for something different, which is why we love the bridge concept. Maybe the bridge inside the shield with lettering on the outer edges?

Really like the way you are going, Creativiti. Needs more pop on the colors. Maybe different font color.

Also, we are up for different styles of logo, not just Pictorial Mark. If you have a good letter art or character art we would love to see that too.

We love our city and the landmarks that represent it. We live close to the Austin 360 bridge, so we were thinking of somehow incorporating that into the design. Please feel free to research this bridge or any other local landmarks that you might think would fit. We do not like the same old daycare designs. We are a cross between a children's museum and a extended hour childcare facility. Needs to be upscale.

We look forward to seeing your creative minds in action!

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.
