Love MarkersLogo 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.

Hello designers
Thank you so much for your submissions!! My husband and I are so thrilled to see each and every design.
A little more about Love Markers - a portion of the proceeds from each cemetery marker sold will be donated to a charity. This has been the business model from the beginning and how the "Love" got to be part of the business name.
A purchase of a memorial typically cannot be seen as positive and is often made at a sad moment in one's life. Love Markers will strive to shift that feeling. Many families are pressured to overpay for a cemetery marker because of the emotional nature of the item. Through LoveMarkers.com families will be able to save money and have peace in knowing that their purchase helped a charity. Frequently we are told that purchasing a grave marker with our company is the only positive thing that occurred during this very difficult time. The “Love” in Love Markers.com reflects not only the love felt for the person that has passed away but also our continued love for humanity through charity.
To know more about our company you may want to read about us on our current site www.westmemorials.com
As memorialists, symbolic value is not always conveyed in an obvious way. We like the use of hearts in the logo design and feel this is the direction Love Markers would be seen by most people. However, as artists, we would like to explore other ways of expressing this new idea in memorialization. We hope through our efforts we will continue to help people experiencing a loss and stop the practice of overcharging a family in the midst of grief.
Thank you very much for helping us help others.
