The Blueprint for Financial SuccessLogo Design Contest

Any ideas for how to add something creative to communicate the concept of "connecting your resources to your life?" I love the Burke's Team logo you designed! The way you integrated the overall theme and made the logo communicate something bigger was brilliant. Hope you can do something like this for "The Blueprint". My book, Make Your Money Count, uses the metaphor of a blueprint to illustrate how financial planning helps you build the life of your hopes and dreams. Thanks for your entry!

PS: Yeah, finding the right balance between simple, clear -- and clutter is challenging. Creative minds are a real gift. I'm praying that you'll have a brainstorm ;-)

thanks for the feedback and looking at my work. I do have an idea you might like and will develop & submit soon.

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'm about to go car shopping with my son, Brandon, so I may not be able to reply until later tonight or tomorrow. Good luck!!

Good luck with the car! I added simple roof and simple family to give more of a pic of why you want $ success.

I really like this revision. My only concern is that the house communicates that "The Blueprint" is about building a house... What kind of Icon might work inside The Blueprint to communicate "Financial Freedom"? So far, your new one is #1.
Thank you!

I will keep thinking - thanks!

...Just a thought here... On the cover of my first book, I included an image of an old building with a "keystone" over the door (it was a grand old building). The book was about trust and I included a small icon of a "keystone" on every page of the book (in the header). A keystone may be a nice touch in the center of The Blueprint (if you're not coming up with another/better idea). Hope that helps. Thanks for your good work.

I can work with that idea and was going to ask about what your book graphics are like.

Okay... I just invited my wife to look at the designs. She ranked them. Yours is #1 so far. Thanks! Looks good. I'm going to sleep on it.

Thanks, we have time to get it right. I like family and home in there 'cuz they are most important reason for financial success : ) and keystone shape is nice to work with.

I'm really liking the house. Probably because my wife liked it best -- and it made sense to her. I agree... family is the best reason for financial planning. So far, yours is the best. I'll ask my web-designer (he's my friend) look at it, too. He'll want to be sure it works from a graphic/printing perspective. Thanks!!

I only used 2 shades of blue so and no affects so it should be very easy to print. I try to do stuff that is easy to use and not expensive : )

#210--can you darken, bolden the word Blueprint? (a little, not too much...). I like this a lot better than the earlier version. Thank you!
--Jim

trying to darken most recent version before end! Might not be one you like best but you can see how it looks
