Indian Country Training InstituteLogo 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.

Once again thank you for choosing Logotournament

Thank you all for the submissions! We very much appreciate your time and creativity in honoring Indian Country!

One thing I thought I would impart as an FYI.

There are over 500 tribes in Indian Country, the Fishermen of the North West, Hunters of the Northern Plaines, Gatherers from the Eastern Seaboard and Pueblos of the Southwest, they all have their own cultures, imagery and icons. Our issue, not so much a problem, but something we are very sensitive too, is that we instruct all over Indian Country. The look and feel of our company needs to appeal to all of the tribes and should not have the strong imagery of just one.

If you plan to use American Indian Tribal imagery it would need to be contemporary and abstract as to sugest the icon but not be strong in its presence.

Thank you!

uta,

Winning!

Walt has made a decision and has actually chosen elements from two of your designs, #46 and 48-and he was hoping to combine them, not sure how this will work but here it goes.

1-we want to use the inside of logo #46. Sun rays, people and star
2-we want it popped into the center of logo #48.
3-we want 12 circles in stead of 10 on logo #48 (representing the 12 month cycle of the year)
3-we like the text on logo #46 as opposed to any of the others

Questions:
1-What about removing the large circle at the bottom of logo #48?
2-Walt is concerned what we want to do will make the logo too busy? How do you feel.
3-How does it work once we choose and do you care which one we actually choose? How does that work?
4-colors: we are not sure if the colors in #46 would look good in #48? We would like you opinion. We like both colors, I like the gold, Walt is indifferent, but the elements in #48 I think may not look as good in gold?

We will want-
1- the logo as stand alone
2-logo with text to the side
3-logo with text to the bottom
4-With text to stand alone

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon
