Employer & Candidate ConnectionLogo Design Contest

# 8 might be ok if it just had two people at the conceptual desk you created
# 13 looks like two people in a personal relationship rather than a business relationship, but if adjusted, might work
#15 looks like a family planning logo or something I have seen in healthcare. Also, it should have two parties, not three so that it does not look like a family. Technically speaking, there are three parties involved: the candidate, the employer and me as the catalyst who connects the three, but unless it is clear that one connects to the other who connects to the other, the three should not be together.

No one has really come up with a non-conception desk, so a logo which incorporates that could be great also!

#22 could also work if it had just two parties OR two parties somehow being linked (I realize that I am the 3rd party linked the other 2. I also prefer a deeper purple rather than a magenta/fushia (like my top choice)
#24 uses green (likely for "go" but I do not like that shade of green. Perhaps an attractive shade of teal?

#14 is nice, but again, there are two parties directly involved at the desk. Technically, I am the 3rd party connecting them, but I would not be in the picture l-o-n-g term, just the short term.

I have a few others ideas for those still interested in competing:

One is from my sister, Joan: Two conceptual people in close proximity/working together or walking together or about to take a journey together (one has a suitcase?) and they are standing at teh base of a road. At the end of a road is a $ or other symbol of profitability or success. (If done correctly, it will not look hokey, but rather, savvy and professional. Any representation of this would be fine, meaning, the end result is two people connecting for the purpose of being successful in business.)

Another idea is to show an actual chain of connection between conceptual represenations of people, meaning, this person connects with another person who connects with a third OR possibly, the middle person connects the two other parties. Person 1 --> Person 2 --> Person 3 (or a representation that gets this point across.

I am not sure either will work or look classy and professional, but it may be worth a try.

For entry 25, it is interesting. How many colors is it? A 2-color logo would cost a bit less, but 3 color I OK. This appears to be more. I think I prefer purple and teal, purple and green or purple and black. I am not sure if this logo can be done in fewer colors, but it may be worth a try. I like it. I do not like that blue. I like the colors in my top choices right now. Thank you!

For logo # 5, 6 and 7, someone pointed out that they resemble the logo symbol for wheelchair accessible. Can you please try to make the "C's more square, per my prior comment?

#31, 32 and 33 are interesting. A few things:

1) The company is "Employer," not "Employee"
2) I like color, so black does not pop, although it looks handsome. I like the purple and teal of my first choices, or if it has to go to 3 colors, add black.
3) I do not like the font. It looks like Times New Roman, so it looks dated and unsophisticated to me. I need a more classy font to promote my image. Maybe something without a serif.
4) Perhaps you can turn the "c"s around to the initials of the company show, Good idea overall!!! Very functional and clever!

#39 appears to be holding hands. Any way to make that one look like a business relationship? Maybe shaking hands?

#44. I like it! Can you make tHE same colors as #5, 6 amd 7?

For logo # 5, 6 and 7, someone pointed out that they resemble the logo symbol for wheelchair accessible. Can you please try to make the "C's more square, per my prior comment? If the C's were more square, then the intersection of the other "C" would make a more obvious "E" It would also look like two hands shaking!


I also like the idea of "ECC" (Three component for the acronym of the company.)

I ALSO REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF "ECC" AS MY COMPANY NAME IS SO LONG!!!

I prefer the colors that #5 uses: purple and teal. A gradient can work of these, too.

I also like using the initials ECC.

Thanks, everyone!!! This has been a cool process, and I admire your creativity.

Entry #5: Can it be done wiith a gradient, like the smaller one and making "Connection" two colors like the others? Still my top choice even though "ECC" abbreviation is not part of the logo!

I also like #46 and #47, but like purple and teal like my top choice. Also, the letters inside the heads are hard to read. Maybe use a heavier or clearer font?

I like #62. It looks sharp and classy. Colors are perfect.

#44, the colors need to be purple and teal, like my top choice.

#68 and #69. Very nice, but I think I prefer teal and dark purple like my first choice, Can you change the color to companre it and see if it appeals to me even more?

#73. I REALLY like this one. I DO think that the person in the middle should be a female and represents me making the connection. I prefert the purple and teal used in my first choice logo in the rankings. I am not too sure about the two lines coming out of the "Connections." You might try removing them and see if it simplifies, or if it is still needed in your view. They gray looks a little washed out so it should be darker, or perhaps black along with the swirl effect around the 3 people. That may make the logo more crisp. I would change the color green in the middle to something a bit more subdued and classy or change to a complimentary sharde of burnt orange.

My favorite still remains #7 where the C's intersect to show a connection and it has the gradient. Can you make this the larger size like the other one you did??????????

Other strong choice is #81, but theal is too dark (too much black saturation) and the figures also have to be a little larger (but smaller than #84). Also, no ties. Women and men are clients.

hi marsala... I'm sorry because I did not see your advice about colors before here in the general discussion, if you want really to see the the logos with teal and dark purple just put my design on first position (the unique allowed to send new designs) and send me a PM and I'll upload the new designs... after you can put me on my 4th place :)
thanks

#88. Did you get my comments yesterday? Possibly making the ampersand a medium or dark gray or even black to see if it pops? The ampersand symbol in the middle is me as I connect the parties. Also, trying the make the "C's" a little more angular/square so that the "E" that you were trying to communicate shows more obviously?

I just saw the 2-line version. I like it but can you center the
word, "Connection" or would that look bad. (Most or all of the comments above should also apply to this logo). Maybe the people can be increased in size just a little. too ... not sure.
