Color Preferences
2 Main Colors:
Blue, as in FB Blue without being FB Blue
Yellow Orange

Black & White can be used as accent depending on white or black background
Our Ideas & Additional Information
"Connect to yourself & others and determine the passions that drive you. Dream of the best version or outcome that could happen if you applied yourself to doing what makes you the happiest. Open yourself mentally and spiritually to what you can become or do. Receive your Creation Bolt that puts it all together and moves you forward."

The above is what we will be doing for our site visitors and members through every available form of media and communication. Understand our goals and you understand what we're looking for in our logo.

Simple and flat is best so that it looks best at any size, large or in an App. The 2 main colors will be used for other graphics throughout the site so it's important they go well together. The 2 words can be 2 different colors, and that includes one being white or black. Your logo proposals should look equally good on a white/light or black/dark background. The attached square with blue and yellow orange is the "family" of colors we're looking for, but not specifically. Would love to see what you come up with.

Have fun with the Bolt part if you can think of a symbol that could later be used all on its own. A "creation bolt" is a blast of mental creativity or pure clarity we receive when we're working on a project. Many of you experience them as artists when you're suddenly hit with a great idea that's perfect for what you need to present. Now imagine if that "plan" or "project" was YOU, or your life, or your future. It's when all the pieces come together in an instant and become completely real to you.

Every great, instantly recognizable logo is simple unless it's really old (like Coca-Cola). Please keep it simple and modern. It should not be too tall. Should definitely be more horizontal than vertical. Perhaps the company logo separates the 2 words; perhaps not...

THANK YOU to everyone who has submitted designs! I can share a few things I have been attracted to:

~ I like seeing a symbol art design to the left of the "Creation Bolt" wording.

~ I'm definitely leaning away from a text-only logo.

~ I like seeing the C and B played together in the symbol. I also like seeing them OR shapes that are divided into 4 pieces to represent how "Connect, Dream, Open, Create" work together to inspire the Creation Bolts.

~ I like the lightening bolts that are made from negative space because they'll be seen no matter if it's on a white or dark background. This is by no means the only way I want to see them made -- just complimenting ...

~ I haven't seen any logos I liked that tried to design the lightening bolt into the lettering of "Creation Bolt". I think it's a cool idea, but just doesn't work from a clarity standpoint.

~ If you work on a symbol art design, please design it as if it's the only thing seen on an App home screen button without the "Creation Bolt" lettering. Point: It needs to be that clear from a distance even if we never develop an App.

~ I like the royal blues and yellow golds that are closer to the square image I attached to the contest. The dark blues are too dark, and a lot of the other lettering is too orange. I'm after as "yellow-orange" as I can have BUT still be clear against a white background. I understand the contrast challenge and respect your suggestions.

~ I seem to be pushed away from the logos that have ALL CAPS for the Creation Bolt lettering. Had to think about it.. The all caps seem to be very loud, probably because of years of seeing people type them in either ignorance or anger or both (lol). The use of upper and lower case letters seems more open and inviting to me. Btw, no one has once submitted a mix of the lettering, so maybe that's a Designer 101 Don't? Like "Creation BOLT" for example? If it's considered bad then let's not do it, but def not all caps.

I'm glad this process for feedback is available because I never would have thought of these things! I hope my notes are more helpful than a hinderance. I thank all of you for sharing your talents and good luck!

My sincere apologies to everyone! Should not have started my contest just before a very busy weekend hosting guests from out of town. Going through logos now and ranking first. I'll come back with comments ASAP. Will move logos with words only to "Not Interested" because I need a symbol as well. THANK YOU to everyone who submitted and I hope you have a GREAT day!

THANK YOU to everyone who submitted designs! All this talent in one place is amazing. I'm posting the Top 2 choices to my FB page and asking for feedback/votes. Because of how much I enjoyed this positive experience I'll be setting up another logo contest for a good friend of mine who's a Personal Trainer. Will spread the word... Thanks again and I wish everyone here an awesome day!
