Catalyst Church San DiegoLogo 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.

Hello Designers,

I'd like to thank you for submitting your work. Our team is not interested in displaying a cross within our logo. We
are deeply committed to the Christian faith but would like our logo to communicate that in a more subtle fashion.

I'd also like to see options with the illustration portion of the logo in solid coloring rather than with gradients of grey.

Hello Designers,

After our first day of submissions, I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions.

I would like to encourage all of you to please take a look at the attachments we've connected to the page. The two logos attached were chosen from an original list of over 80 logos and we felt we truly connected with those two.

Please make sure to utilize those as a platform to work from.

We love the simplicity of the city church logo with the black background and the white text because of the use of warm colored paint strokes to communicate city buildings which is a very creative way of communicating ideas of the city, community, and acceptance.

City Church San Francisco's logo combines traditional elegance and a modern feel in a way that is absolutely captivating. The design is top notch and is very close to what we're looking for.

We desire a combination of classic appeal and a modern feel. We are not interested in typical christian iconography. Both our clientele and our team have a sophisticated eye and are looking for something unique.

Thank you again for your contributions. We hope our comments are helpful.

Designers!

We only have a few hours left! I will be updating rankings regularly. Please continue to submit or make adjustments to original submissions.

Good luck!

Hello Designers,

We are now officially in our top 5 phase of the tournament. I plan on having a meeting with my team and very soon to offer each of you individual feedback.

Stay tuned and stay creative. We really like what we're seeing.

Designers-

Only 18 hours left in the top 5 phase!
