MidSouth Collaborative OR MidSouth Forward OR MAT ConnectLogo Design Contest

We're trying to rename our 501c3 sister organization. Our name is the MidSouth Development District and we have a sister non-profit currently called Region Smart. We're looking to rename Region Smart to one of the following: MidSouth Collaborative, MidSouth Forward, MAT Connect (Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee Connect - *Willing to change the acronym order*) and want to visually see some logos to make a choice.

Our org is creating an eco-system of people, projects, and resources to support the building of stronger, sustainable communities in the MidSouth. From neighborhood-level, small-scale developments to region-spanning innovations, our braintrust of passionate civic leaders and real estate professionals direct and deploy best practices and training to those determined to help our cities compete as a region. It’s how we’re Building on Collaboration. We have a longstanding relationship with the Urban Land Institute and often partners with ULI Memphis on events and programming.

We build stronger communities through collaborating in the following ways:
•Being a source for ULI Memphis members to continue to flourish in the land use community
•Harnessing the power of civic leaders and real estate professionals to develop projects and people
•Channeling resources to underserved neighborhoods and potential developers through training, project matching, and idea development.
•Connecting markets and projects within the region
•Creating a pipeline of people and projects to continue building sustainable communities throughout the MidSouth

We'd like to have similar colors and vibes as our other current company's logo.

We use Grey (Hex #4B4B4D / CMYK 3% 3% 0% 70% / Pantone 7540 C), Green (Hex #83C028 / CMYK 32% 0% 79% 25% / Pantone 368 C), Grey Blue (Hex #36454F / CMYK 32% 13% 0% 69% / Pantone 432 C), Blue (Hex #5193D8 / CMYK 63% 32% 0% 15% / Pantone 2718 C), and White (Hex #FFFFFF / CMYK 0% 0% 0% 0%)

We're open to another complimentary color being added to the mix, or just using the colors we already have.

As previously mentioned, we're trying to rename our 501c3 sister organization. Our name is the MidSouth Development District and we have a sister non-profit currently called Region Smart. We're looking to rename Region Smart to one of the following: MidSouth Collaborative, MidSouth Forward, MAT Connect (Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee Connect - *Willing to change the acronym order*) and want to visually see some options to make a selection on the name. So please submit logos with any of these names!

We like the look and feel of our MidSouth Development District logo and would like something complimentary, but not the too similar. We don't want them to look like the same organization. We'd like to use the same mix of colors in MDD's logo, maybe just focus on different colors or make it have a different feel.
