Design #12

The concept is family which encompasses marriage. The halo and letter "M" represents the Guardian Angel and the legs of the letter M are embracing the family.

the stylized letter "M" can be used a standalone mark without the text or the other letters.

14 and 15 both convey the overall concept of family, health, healing and community without singling out any one religion...which is important especially with so many diverse cultures and beliefs in communities all over the US, Canada and world wide.

All of them are great but I really like #14 and #8!

Can you please make the "i" angel pink and leave the rest gray? Thanks!

Can you please design a logo with the "M" in MFRI being a pair of feathery angel wings in soft blue and one in soft pink, the "F" and "R" in medium gray, and the lower-case "i" with a halo as the dot and color the "i" soft blue for the soft blue "M" version and soft pink for the soft pink "M" version? Can you also make the "M" a little larger than the rest of the thin, softly-rounded letters, please? Thanks!! Can't wait to see it!! :) -Adi

The letter "M" is re-sized and I've softened the text so that it's not hard edged

and the woman is now facing both child and man and the man is facing child and woman

#72: Wow Scott you are amazing! LOL...on the gold angel, can you add a "glitter" effect or sparkle, so it looks like "light" is hitting it and shimmering out? Thanks!

Design #11 updated with #75 and #76 ..2 varitations

#78 and #79 with halo,

I would not be doing my profession justice if I did not caution you about adding to many objects to a design makes it to difficult to read and understand... I cannot see a suitable way to incorporate windows in the the stylized "family" letter 'M' without making it confusing to the viewer...I'll do it but it's going to take a wee bit to figure out were to place it.

I understand! :) how about a glittery sparkly gold on the angel in #72 - so it looks like light is hitting it and reflecting off? Thx!

Making the family fatter the M will not a letter "M"
if you want to have that family appeal and be more accessible to a larger demographic then design #15 is the better choice and is my fav of the bunch.

the other option is to remove teh child and go with this #126

If only we can make it look less cookie-cutter, although I love the family in the M also :) And it may be too much to have more family members in each letter... I really like the sun in the top left part of the M!

for the design of #114, If we chose this design, does it come in a format where we can change colors in the future as needed or do we need to have the final color chosen now?? Thanks!

The required file formats for LT are EPS (vector which can be edited colours etc) and JPG

however I also supply these additional file formats

1. hi res jpg 300 dpi cmyk and RGB
2. Hi res black and white 300 dpi
3. no background PNG for web use
4. Illustrator vector file

these additional files I send via email.

Logo Designer
any vector program such as, Coreldraw and Illustrator

or inkscape an open source vector program (free) http://inkscape.org this will do nicely for your needs
