Baby Point GatesLogo Design Contest

Our newly formed Business Improvement Area (Baby Point Gates) represents 100 local retail and commercial businesses, with the aim of marketing, promoting and building a dynamic, upscale, family-oriented shopping district in West Toronto.

Because this logo must show up well on banners, flags and signs during the day and at night, black (or dark) text on a white background is preferred, with one or two complimentary colours. We are NOT looking for neon or very bright colours but are open to classic, sepia inspired colours or bolder, deep reds or oranges.

Vintage meets modern. Fusion of old and new. The logo should have an historical feel with a modern, stylish twist.

Perhaps (but not necessarily) Interested in incorporating something to signify the Baby Point Gates - a 100 year old monument located in the centre of the shopping strip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lambton_Baby_Point_Gates.jpg).

Very important that the text (Baby Point Gates) is large, clear, simple and clean as it will be seen on banners by cars speeding by.

The Business Improvement Area:
Through the Baby Point Gates BIA, we will be rejuvenating and promoting an area that blends new and old. Young, professional families are bringing new life to a region of Toronto, Canada, that has a lot of history and character. The shopping district is improving rapidly, with new trendy businesses moving in regularly.

We take great pride in the rejuvenation of our area, and we hope you'll be proud to work on the Baby Point Gates logo. Once designed, it will be seen by hundreds of thousands of Torontonians on banners, on signs, in advertising etc. to signify a shopping district everyone, especially families, will be very pleased to frequent.
