Logo Design Brief
We need a logo for a website being constructed for teachers. We offer staff development training in many different areas for teachers teaching in grades K-12 (kindergarten through 12th grade).
The logo and webiste are: K12Seminars.com.
I have attached some logos we like for different reasons. In House is a LOGO we created for this. It has K-12 Seminars and a book and it is somewhat approaching what we think we want, but it needs a real artist to take over and make it come alive!!! For example, the book could be bigger and the words rearranged??? It has POTENTIAL but we cant bring it out!
A competitor has a logo (k12.com) that is cool for another reason. It is sort of colorful and abstract. We like what they did but we obviously cant copy what they did.It is attached and called Competitor logo.
BE creative and CHANGE what we have given you or DREAM UP something that POPS!!!!!
