Updates

Hello everyone! I REALLY appreciate the wonderful designs that have been created by so many talented graphic designers in such a short amount of time. I wanted to give you an update on my thoughts. My project is to promote natural development from infancy into the early years and provide parents/caregivers/health professionals with ideas to make that happen. As part of my courses I will be promoting the idea that less can be more and natural is often best. The courses will be given live as well as by webinar in the future. I have given many of you the same feedback about color scheme. In my briefing I had to select from the color wheel that was displayed on Design Crowd website. The colors aren't actually exactly to my liking. I would really like to have a more natural feel to the design using Earth tones if it is possible with your software. For example, the green would be closer to a forest green (but not quite that dark) and an orange would be more terra-cotta, blue closer to ocean blue, and yellow with a hue of orange to it. A dark brown might be used instead of black. I don't tend to gravitate towards true primary colors. I think that I have decided to use only the word "bloom" in my logo as it is looking somewhat cluttered otherwise. Thoughts? Now that I have seen my original ideas put together professionally, I have definitely been able to streamline some of my favorites and eliminated ones that weren't quite to my taste for one reason or another. I have tried to give feedback to each designer on at least one of his/her designs. If your designs have not been eliminated yet, well done as I have had LOTS of excellent logos come in. Thank you to those of you who have requested further feedback. I will be looking to have a shortlist by Friday, but will likely extend my deadline by a few days tomorrow so that I can poll my friends, parents and colleagues this weekend with my favorites. The chosen favorites might be asked to make an adaptation or two following the feedback that I receive. If you are still interested in submitting more ideas to this project, I would try something creative. Surprise me!!! I have had excellent feedback for my company so I am hoping that it will be a brand that you see for years to come with possibly your logo! Thanks so much for your creative efforts. I am really humbled that you are doing such great work for this project. All the best, Allison

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hello everyone, I will be extending my deadline by 3 days in order to get feedback this weekend from parents/colleagues/advertisers/friends/family on my current shortlist of designs. Of course, I will still be open to your other ideas during this time. I am really amazed by what you guys have created. Thanks so much, Allison
