Everyone Is Welcome!Logo Design Contest

Thanks for your submissions. The logo is intended for worldwide use, so words in the icon (logo) won't work. It also needs to work as a very small icon on a website, restaurant menu, flyer, etc. When a business or group displays the icon its signifies that everyone is welcome. Everyone will be served or sold their products and services and that no one will ever be discriminated against for any reason. It needs to convey a positive feeling, clarity and statement at first glance. Thank you.

I'm not in a position to rank the proposals, yet. Most include words (please review prior comment). Thank you.

Hello: I am receiving logos with words. This logo is intended for international use. Words would be confusing.

This logo is intended to be positive and welcoming...even loving. If a business displays this logo it is sending a signal to the general public that everyone is welcome and that the business does not discriminate for any reason. The symbol says that everyone is welcome to buy that business' products and services no matter if they are black, white, gay, Christian or other religion, Atheist, disabled, poor, rich, etc.

I appreciate your time and effort, especially over the long Easter holiday.

Many logo concepts are including the obvious "heart" in various forms That might work if it can compliment the "Everyone is Welcome! theme.

Hello. I think conveying the message of "Everyone Is Welcome!" in a very simple manner may work best. Some business users of the logo could place it on their websites and require that it be no larger than the Twitter "bird" or Facebook "f." I totally understand how challenging this may be. I truly appreciate it when you send along your concepts.

Perhaps I should expand our color options beyond black and white. I initially wanted black/white to make the logo's adoption in the marketplace less costly for the end user to reproduce it on things like menus, flyers, advertising, etc. Maybe color will add that something "extra" that could make the logo awesome?

I wonder if it is possible to express the "Everyone Is Welcome! message with a small, simple icon that is super easy for everyone to understand its meaning? Not too much detail so it can work well on websites or footnoted in advertisements. Small like the Twitter "bird" small or the "f" for Facebook? Maybe there is a new and unique icon that can be developed that can become just as popular with the right, dedicated marketing plan?

Thank you for sending along your concepts. I know that this is not the easiest logo to design. Your time and ideas are appreciated.

It's great to see that some of your are making a personal connection to my message of non-discrimination. Thank you!

I need to be absolutely certain that the logo I select can be trademarked in the USA and EU. If you feel your entries are not unique enough to trademark, please withdraw them.

I am extremely fortunate to have so many talented artists send along their concepts. Over 315 to date.

Thank you for all of you time and for sharing your talent. There are many awesome concepts. I did my best to reply to each and ever one of you out respect for you and your art.

I have posted comments about logo concepts to my top five artists. Only heard back from two of five so far. A bit concerning with less than 12 hours to go. I hope they respond.

Thank you to all artists who sent along their concepts. I truly like so many of them, It was extremely difficult to choose and this entire process has been much more grueling than I imagined.
