Capital Region Sustainability PlanLogo Design Contest

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

~~ You, the Client, are very important! Your active participation is the single greatest factor influencing this contest. Active participation by you, the Client, helps you get the logo design you want!
~~ What's active participation? It's updating the brief with more information for Designers to work with as the contest progresses, providing feedback to Designers on their entries when they're submitted, and ranking designs at least once a day.
~~ When you provide feedback to Designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results!
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion.
~~ Rank designs at least once each day -- this will encourage Designers to submit more entries!
~~ Ranking prevents your contest from going idle! Active contests attract more Designers.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed. Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Please note: if you're asking for a design that will require several hours to create, to attract Designers willing to invest that amount of time the prize should be at least $400-$500. All "Character" style logos fall into this category.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested." We'd like to know what you don't want so we can give you the design you do want.
~~ The first phase of the contest is the "Open" phase, and everyone can submit during that time.
~~ After your contest's initial "Open" phase closes, it will enter the "Top 5" phase; only the top 5 ranked Designers will be able to submit revisions at that time.
~~ The "Top 5" Designers are the first 5 Designers in a contest, not the first 5 designs.
~~ When "Top 5" ends, the "Judging" phase begins. The Designer of the 1st place design will be the only Designer who can submit revisions at that time.

Hi All, Was this overview too confusing? Perhaps we are trying to do too much? We are happy to look at pared down versions and more abstract logos. We would be very interested in getting some initial designs to respond to.
Thanks!

Will you upload the logo image you mention again? There seems to be a problem with the file. Thank you.

Hi All,
Sorry to hear that the logo we uploaded did not open properly. We will try to figure out how to re-upload it and get it up there as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can find out more information on the program at:

Thank you!

Hi CH......on your system....rename and remove the dot and underscore in front of the file name and re-upload

._Open for Business Logo-HighRes.jpg

to

Logo-HighRes.jpg

hope this helps
logopixel

It's not the problem in the dot of "._Open for Business Logo-HighRes.jpg".
I think that this JPG is for Mac OS, not for Windows.

A few more things to consider:

We would love a logo that identifies the region is some way, not just the name of the plan.

The region has a strong tie to the Hudson River, the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, and farmland.

There are eight counties and eight systems of the sustainability plan.

Thanks!

Hi All,

The client has requested an extension. They would like more ideas if you have any.

Thank you everyone! This has been wonderful! You are all very talented and we greatly appreciate your participation!
Thank you!
Kim
