1st Maker Space Logo Design Contest

United States

What We Do

A 1st Maker Space is a learning environment built in schools to promote hands-on learning and make kids THINK. Think Hi-Tech Shop Class 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, Electronics, Microcontrollers, CAD Design, Textiles, Soft Circuits to make Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math relevant in young minds.

Color Preferences

We are open to any gender neutral colors. This company caters to children from 6 to 18, boys and girls. Some things to consider would be texture such as weld marks, burnt wood, textiles, rough edges, etc. However, it needs to be something flat that we can easily screen print or embroider on shirts.

Our Ideas & Additional Information

We like the idea of a medallion style logo. Perhaps like a metal or an award. Circular is best. Our website is http://www.3dpartsed.org/. We also like the use of common tools, gears and simple machines to illustrate text.

The uploaded PDF logo was something that was roughly created to illustrate the ture 1st maker space is in the mind. Not a great start but is helpful in explaining the concept.

Discussion

This is a cool logo. We have laser cutters and would like to do something similar with our logo: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/292/f/f/milwaukee_makerspace_logo_w__gear_treatment_by_mercurycrest-d5ic8tk.jpg I'm not sure I like the welding mask... Looks a little creepy for kids.

This one's cool too: http://thedecaturminute.com/files/2014/06/400x315xDecMakerLogo.jpg.pagespeed.ic.3hqY8-qp6x.jpg

And this one: http://www.nycedc.com/sites/default/files/filemanager/Services/Programs_for_Entrepreneurs/SI_Incubator/simakerspace.main.png

One other concept to consider is that the true maker space starts in the mind. Something that relates to "thinking" or "tinkering" in one's head.

I'd like to see more round logos like #3. There can be some elements outside the circle but the predominant shape should be an emblem.

Client

Please avoid references to space and/or earth. I don't want it to seem like a space program. I'd like to see more tools used such as screwdirvers, pliers, hammers, gears, etc.

I'm not looking for anything with swooshes of any kind or too much of a WORD MARK. ROUND like a medallion is an idea, if it can be done well; but,not a requirement.

I'd like to see more emphasis on the number 1. Maybe it can be in the center overlaid on an LED or transistor.
"Maker" can be on the top and "space" can be on the bottom. Also, I'd like to see the outer circle as a gear with gear teeth.

I added a very crude concept in the image upload of a gear with the "1st" in the center and "maker" above and "space below. Perhaps we could have an LED or Transistor in the background.
