Some thoughts behind my concept: I have followed your instructions and created a custom type signature with a hidden message init. If you look closely to the negative space inside the 'E' you could notice a small innocent hand showing its palm which is off course a hint towards the foundation's meaning of raising money. The stars were chosen to give the logo an extra touch but also to go well with your career as a singer and standup comedian and your other businesses. Otherwise they also refer towards the fact that you are an american, which is frequently related in logos using stars. I have chosen for solid colors that catch the attention and since you want to use the logo to be printed on mugs and t-shirts and stuff like that, I did not use any gradients or shiney effects. If you would like to see any changes on this concept just give me a call and I will do my best to please your willings :)
Entry 16: I really like this logo and I truly appreciate the thought that went behind it. The red background and yellow stars closely remind me and my business partner of the Chinese flag. Can we change some colors around and see where this takes us?
Absolutely. I will play with some other colors and post an update soon. Do you have any other remarks about the logo itself that could be improved to your willings? Im glad that you appreciate my thoughts and i hope i can create you an unique brand that fits your business perfectly.
Hi Justin, I have done my homework and did some more research on your project. On your 'Naymz' profile page I have found a very nice description about your foundation. It says: "The Justin Evans Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization dedicated to supporting American and international foundations. Founded in 2008, The Justin Evans Foundation is unique among non-profits in that all administrative costs are 100% donation, and 100% of the funds given to The Justin Evans Foundation pass directly to other charitable foundations." This gave me inspiration and the result is this new logo entry. The heart is clearly built out of 2 arrows, each pointing to the other arrows tail. Off course these arrows are a clear hint to the way you run your foundation. They represent the moneyflow, and there are no cutoffs, everything is fair trade. I think this logo could easily fit on a white mug or t-shirt or other goods and sending the correct message very fast. I hope you like it as much as i am.
