Bendigo BookkeepingLogo Design Contest

A good idea would be to look at the logo of the council... https://www.bendigo.vic.gov.au/Home
Do not copy the logo, but the town is known for Gold Mining and this symbol MAY work well incorporated.

Hello and Welcome,

On behalf of the members who are participating in your project, we sincerely appreciate any feedback that is given, it helps us a lot to create your vision for a brand identity.

A new feature has been implemented where all contests on LT are blind during the first phase (open) of the contest. Only you can see the submissions, we cannot. During this phase there may be similar concepts from a number of different designers. We are not copying each other, this simply means we have come up with similar ideas based on your brief.

Please keep in mind that any changes or ideas you share privately, either by PM (private message) or on the designer's entry page for the contest, are confidential and should not be shared with others. The reason for this is that it will lead to designer disputes that may adversely affect your project.

Once the contest goes into the second phase (finalist), all designs are revealed and only the top 5 ranked designers can continue to submit. Designers can develop their concepts but cannot directly copy someone else's work and we request that you not ask any designer(s) to use elements from another designer's work.

Please also note that designers can be re-arranged at any time during the finalist phase, even ones that were not initially chosen as part of your top 5. So if you feel another designer's work is more on track, simply move him/her to the top 5 and so on. This applies to the judging phase as well.

Thanks for everyone's efforts. For those who have been ranked, i'd like to see a version of the logo in the dark red colour that is on the council website... same type of colour scheme.
We are starting to head in the right direction.
I would also like to see the logos in more of a rectangular shape vs square.

Thanks everyone! Ok.. so

The red is not a good idea.. back to the trusted blue colours.
Please remove the slogan from all logos

Font: We would like to see something not too bold, not thing, definitely not fancy.

Good luck!
