3:11 Youth HousingLogo Design Contest

Building a firm foundation

We develop safe, affordable housing for youth ages 18 to 24 who are experiencing homelessness and partner in their transition to healthy interdependence. The audience viewing our logo includes, but is not limited to: donors, youth participants, staff, press, the overall community, etc.

Our main color is teal #04a4a4 and we don't want to change that color. Please use it! We then use a lot of grays, both dark and light, as our neutral color. We think an accent color would be helpful for our marketing. We've played around with coral, navy, and green, but haven't landed on the best one. It doesn't necessarily need to be prominent in our logo (or even included at all if it affects the simplicity/modern look). We do think its an interesting idea and something we'd like to incorporate into our overall marketing materials.

Specifically, we are looking for a horizontal logo. We'd be interested in an updated or completely re-vamped version of our current logo as well. We like some of the logos that include both (i.e. where they're long, but have a circle or image connected to them, either on the side or on top, that could be a standalone circular logo).

Our name is 3:11 Youth Housing, spoken it's "three eleven youth housing." We often get people who call us "three-one-one youth housing." We'd like to address that in our logo, but realize it may not be possible graphically, so its not our number one priority.

We're attaching our current logos to this request, but really are looking for something new and fresh. We like the "visual inspiration" logos that we chose - those would be a good framework to go from.

Thank you for your help!!
