AdvocoLogo Design Contest

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank and re-rank a variety of designs to get a variety of new entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for the Designers' hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

Thanks to all of you for your designs...Having gone through branding exercises in the past, I am amazed by the creativity, diversity and production of this method.

A recent entry imbedded the word "advisors" into the logo. It was a great inspiration and would like to see whether it can be done on some of the other designs as well.

At this stage we are drawn to three themes:
- upper case A and lower case dvoco "Advoco"
- the word "advisors" in small font conspicuously placed in logo (this is a new idea provided by Don's entry)
- darker and richer blues seem to be more visually appealing. Some of you have provided shading of blue from soft to dark...this too is a eye catching touch.

Again, thank you all

Jim

Thanks again to all those submitting entries. The production and creativity of submissions are incredible. At this point, we are confident that our winning entry will include:

- Capital A and lower case dvoco.
- The word advisors subtly presented within logo.
- A darker/richer blue and gray for contrast as colors.

Again, thanks to all of you.

Jim

Thanks to everyone once again. For those in final selection box, please add the word "advisors" or "trusted advisors" to your logo as this addition is what seems to set our favorite designs apart.

Thanks again

Jim

Logo Tournament

We cannot express how impressed we are by your logo creation process, and the quality/quantity of responses. The personal dialogue we have had with many of the submitters - and their willingness to make specific adjustments - has been more seamless than similar efforts made to staff who have worked directly for me.

This process is game changing, and the level of creative energy harnessed by your site has exceeded all our expectations.

On a specific note, while all those making entries have been responsive, special thanks goes out to Don Gato for his participation from day one, his mannnnny re-designs, and paradigm changing additions.

Thanks to all who have participated.

Jim
