MorningStar AcademyLogo Design Contest

So far, we are really impressed at the skills and creativity that a lot of the logos offer!

Our board is very excited to see new ideas, so please keep them coming! We keep calling each other every time a new logo entry is received to talk about it!
We are holding votes as we go, and there isn't a clear winner yet--even more surprising is that our favorites are quite different styles of designs.

#63 We greatly appreciate your new entries, and this one is great because it gives us the flexibility to market the logo as something unique, but not too abstract. We had really liked #15, but overall our team felt it was a bit too abstract.
We like all of your designs because they feel very professional and high quality.

#51 We are surprised by how much we like this logo!! As a group, we haven't been extremely impressed by the animated/kid friendly designs until your entry!
We love that you were able to capture the "fun" aspect, but without sacrificing quality!

#57 We like this design a lot--it seems to represent fun and unity.
We LOVE that the inside makes a star, without it being so blatent and obvious.

We are hoping for a few minor changes that might make it more fitting to us.
With six people/figures it creates the yellow inner star as a six-pointed star, which can be easily mistaken as a religous symbol. We are not affiliated with any religion and would prefer a five pointed star.
Also, the cursive font is something we'd like to stay away from.

Could you please make those small modifications?

#38 Our team also likes this entry because it is just very clean, nice fonts, overall a good, professional logo but it just doesn't WOW us like we wish it did.
Possibly the handprints could be doing something else, creating a shape or at least representing something?? Just handprints seems too...common, for lack of a better word.
It is still one of our favorites, but again it just seems like something isn't quite done??

Thank you for your time, and we hope you'll submit another revision?

To ALL:
Our name (MorningStar) is many other famous things (breakfast sausage, finance/business, computer software, etc) but we are a preschool.
We want our logo to be unique enough that it will hopefully be well known to us, by the local community.

Please know that we DO NOT require an actual star...in fact, some of our favorite designs so far do not have stars, or make stars in a unique way!

Thank you--keep the creativity coming! We love this!

#28, #25, and #24
We like your designs a lot. We appreciate that you added some cute children to give the look a little bit more of a fun effect, but we think that maybe more abstract children faces would blend more with the original design??
Not sure why, but we think it is that the logo and the faces seem so different.
We like them (the faces and the original sun/star) but not together...they don't seem made for each other.
Hope that makes some kind of sense.

Still, the colors and the quality make all of your designs on our list of favorites.

#54 This is a nice design...simple but very good!
We'd like to see some variations, or see what else you can come up with!
Thanks!

#4 Some of our team likes this concept, but we agree as a whole that the font is not suitable to us.
If you could change the font, it would give us a better chance to consider this entry.

#51 (and #40)
This is a favorite by many on our team, but when we started asking others in our office to help chime in to vote among our favorites, many didn't realize it was a magnifying glass...we are wondering if we knew what it was because we had already seen #40?? But, we like that the words can be read more clearly in #51.

Would you please make another version that somehow outlines the handle or makes it even more obvious somehow?? We're getting down to the end of the contest, and we need to know that people in general would recognize the idea.

I hope there is enough time to modify this a few ways because it has real potential to be the final design!


THANKS!

#63 Our team had a lot of positive response to this!! LOVE the ladybug, it just adds something for that extra touch!
We greatly appreciate your time and it is certainly on our short list as a favorite!

#87 We like the circle/seal design, we like the colors and font, but the figures inside appear to be still--appear to be not having fun or playing...in an obvious way, so it seems to portray the wrong message to us.
But, if the figures inside were different it would be a possibility.

#53 We like that the figures come together to make a heart

#79, simple and we like the clean lines and easy images

#84 This is something we would love for a children's event logo...like birthday planning, etc.
Something we may be doing soon!

#89 This is getting a lot of good, solid feedback! The font and surrounding stars are a nice touch!

#75 We really like this design more with the new colors--thanks for the extra work! It makes a difference to actually see it rather than imagine it!

#56 and #57 We like this concept, but without changes from the previous feedback, we can't consider it.
The star size (with six sides) and the font just make it the wrong fit for us.
If you have time to alter it, we would appreciate it!
thanks-

Hi Scottcate,
Really sorry ...I just missed ut the feedback for #57 earlier....
HAd to check out few times to find out the feedback....
I was wondering Y no feedabck for me???
Now I can see it and will submit the changes soon...
Thankyou
Sandhya.

#92 and #93 changed version.....

So...we have shown our logos to a panel of over 200 people representing our target audience and have some feedback...if there is anyone else that may want to create a logo:

Aside from #105 (and the logos by that designer), No one has created anything that really highlights the fact that parents will be able to VIEW their children online while they are at school.

Something that would appeal to parents that are interactive...parents that get online, use computers, etc.

Anything that comes to mind???

Thanks!!

Hello All,

We have extended the contest so that we can decide between #105 and #63.
Our team is locked with 50% in favor of each of these designs.
We're going to get some outside, unbiased opinions from a review panel and will manually end the contest early as soon as we are 100% agreement about one of these.
We thank you all for such interesting entries, and hope to have MorningStar represented soon!

@CH, still any chance or is it have been decided earlier?
