Updates

We're looking forward to seeing your design ideas - just a note to clarify that we've provided sample logos as a reference point, but we're looking for something original that captures the essence of what's good about these logos.  Please let us know if you have any questions about the brief.

Thanks!

Thanks to all the designers who have already submitted their ideas, I apologize for the lack of updates - we"ve been thinking more about what we"re looking for and reviewing the designs that have been submitted already.

Here are a couple other logo designs that have a similar feel to what we are looking for, I know many of you have been asking for more clarity.

What we"ve determined from the submissions we"ve seen so far is that fonts are very important - we"re looking for a font for the HC and the HolyCulture wording that is simple yet modern, and rounded not fully square letters.

We are definitely looking for a logo mark that has some meaning to it that connects with the "connect. collab. inspire" tagline - we think a possible connection to this might be a rounded square talk bubble or a rounded talk bubble as an option.   Something simple but with style not just the usual.   Also music related ideas since the site focuses around music.

Here"s an example of a design using initials of a company with a modern font and although it"s simple it stands out using a subtle shadow to create more depth and a splash of color in a unique way.  We also like how they have been able to use a modern font that"s a bit different and still create a smooth and professional feel.

Here"s another logo as well that the team likes because of the modern font and overlapping letter concept.

I will be providing some specific feedback to designers who have submitted designs as well but hopefully others who have considered submitting more ideas will find this helpful. 

Thanks again for your time and submissions!

My apologies to all of you who have submitted designs so far - we had some personal issues come up that threw off our time to be able to properly commit to giving good feedback and getting the designers who invested time on this project the updates they deserve.

I"m sorry for the delay and we"ll try our best for the rest of this project and future projects to be more diligent in providing feedback and making key decisions.

We are excited to complete this logo and award the designer with the winning design - we will be requesting some more revisions and new designs if anyone has new ideas as we haven"t decided on a final logo yet.  We will send feedback as quickly as possible on any new revisions and ideas.

Thanks again for your efforts, patience and understanding!
