Africa's HopeLogo Design Contest

thank you. would be more than happy to help you find something that really finds it's place into your work.
thanks again.

Good. This feels like something that could carry our message. This is a contender as of right now among some strong competition. Thanks for continuing to work to find something we like!

totally agree....swooshy people are waaaay overdone. let me see if i can change them a bit...
Thank you very much.

Closer! These elements can be associated with leaders. Can you do this with something other than the "Y- -and-dot" icon? This icon has been overused in our population. We see it everywhere. We're making progress! Thank you.

Thanks. The dove and hand speaks to hope and helping but doesn't connect to training and leadership. Our message is that hope will come through trained leaders and whatever logo we choose will need to inherently support that message or we will have to infuse that connection into it through marketing. It's easier if the logo already has elements that easily connect to a trained leader.

This is closer. The arc under "hope of Africa" ties with the arc of the sunrise. #58 is more interesting than #57 or your earlier designs, and, like I said, it helps that you showed us a black and white version. Do you have any other ideas to help us tie the message of hope to trained leaders?

usually in graphic design, the message of hope is often represented by a dove, and/or a hand(hands) . it may be a little overused, since it's been already done , in my opinion , a bit too much.
I can , surely , prepare a version with a hand and/or a dove if you desire.
Thanks a lot, again for your comments.

as promised , version with hand and dove.
also uploaded a black only version .

please allow me to prepare a version with the slogan included.
if something strikes me , i'll make sure i'll upload it.
thank you very much.

Thanks, DAV!D. It helps to see the black and white version. This has potential if we can develop a campaign that will connect the message of hope to the trained leaders where the hope comes from. If we choose this logo, that would be the challenge. We may need the statement "Spirit-filled, Biblically trained leaders are the hope of Africa" to be part this logo. Or do you have other ideas?

even more simplified .
any direction you may have could prove useful and definitely appreciated.
thank you.

apologize the delay.out of office.
simplified colors, and added a black version only .
thank you very much for the feedback.

This is attractive. I like the fonts. However, one of our requirements is that our logo will have to still work when it is reduced occasionally to black and white. Can you reduce the color-complexity?
