Africa's HopeLogo Design Contest

Yes! I'm sorry I didn't explain it well the first time.

#93 #94 Did you mean like these? Thanks

I didn't explain myself very well, sorry. Please keep these thin stems but return to the curves of #48. The base of the bottom man should be in S Africa and the men above him will curve around the west coast and over to the east coast. In other words, go back to #48 but make the bodies as thin as #84 with san-sarif fonts and Madagascar. Do two like that, one with the sun and one without the sun, okay? Thanks for your patience!

Please check #83 #84. Thanks

In addition to the san-serif font and Madagascar, can you put the trainers on a slant, similar to #48, so that it's not a rigid vertical group. In other words, return to the angles of #48 but keep these thin stems of #66. Can do?

Thanks, Dodi. We like #66 better. That one is a top contender if you can change the font to san-serif and add Madagascar.

Thanks, Dodi. We like #66 better.

Good changes! This shows the multiplication of trainers, brings in a ray of hope---and no more ghosts! :) This is a top five contender. Can you do a variation of this a similar san-sarif font? Also, please add Madagascar?

Dear Lhall,

Many thanks for feedback. I made refinement in the entries #66 #67 #68. How about with these?

Best Regards,
Dodi

The contest software is linking my comments to the wrong design. The comment above was written for #47-the stack of books. My comment on #48 should have been this" This design has potential. Our major focus, as I explained on design #47 , is training leaders. This design carries that focus to the next level, where trained leaders train more leaders. That's excellent. Is there a way to convey that concept with more formal, less casual feel?" In addition, this representation has a ghostly image which relates negatively to old religious beliefs we can't espouse. Can you recreate this concept of trainers giving rise to more trainers, with a graphic that avoids the ghost-like feel? Thank you for working with us!

This nicely combines a text book and hope but we are only indirectly associated with books as a training tool. Our hope is not in the books but in the people who study the books. Can you show us something that speaks to hope through the end product of using books, which is the trained leader? You have good ideas, keep going!

Attractive for its simple emphasis of hope. However, for this to work, we would need to find ways to invest this design with not just hope, but hope through trained leaders. I don't immediately see a way to make that connection.

Interesting. One of the sub-ministries of Africa's Hope is to equip Bible school libraries. However, the larger focus of Africa's Hope is training leaders and our logo will need to speak to that major focus, not just books. Your #48 design comes closer to what we want.
