Logo Design Brief
If you enjoy the idea of doing something great for the environment, please help us! We are one of 22 public/private partnerships throughout the US working to conserve, manage, and protect functioning ecosystems that support wildlife into the 22nd century. Our region encompasses 180 million acres, has 24 steering committee organizations and 10+ existing conservation partnerships. The Gulf Coastal Plains & Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative, or GCPO LCC [http://gcpolcc.org/] as we call it, is a scientific approach to landscape-scale (i.e. very large) conservation ecology. There is no way that every thought, resource, representative species type, etc can be incorporated into 1 logo - so that's why we need help! The defining feature of our region is the lower Mississippi River and alluvial valley - a world class wetland resource that generally "don't get no respect" in the U.S. The attachment contains DETAILED GUIDANCE on the type of logo we'd like to see and a factsheet that gives you an idea of what we do. Please go to gcpolcc.org for more information and feel free to contact me, Gregg Elliott, GCPO LCC Communications at elliott.gregg@gmail.com. Thank you!

Hello everyone who has kindly submitted some great designs for the GCPO logo project. Please take a look at the updated image guidance I have added to this project today, March 19, 2012. I will also be giving each of you individual feedback.

Hello designers! Thanks for all of your wonderful work so far. We are coming close to the end of submission time, and I plan to be back in touch with each one of you to let you know of any last requests for modifications and to tell you the selection of our "semi-finalist" designs. First, however, could each of you please email me and let me know if you will be providing a VECTOR image (that is fully scalable to any size without losing resolution) or a PIXEL-based image? This is very important!

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I am working with current designs and designers to make a few minor adjustments, and I want to allow time for that process through the weekend. After March 26, 2012 we will have some finalists to put out for a community vote, then on April 12, 2012 our directors will choose the winning design. We will notify the winner sometime between April 12 and April 16, 2012.

Requirements
Must have
- The design must strive to capture the idea of the major parts of our system abstractly - with a recognizable Mississippi River through the appropriate use of color and shape.
Nice to have
- See the attachment for detailed guidance.
Should not have
- We do not want a design that is lovely but so detailed and busy that it is difficult to reproduce on letterhead and understand what it is.
