Logo Design Brief

What We Do
We are a site where people can find more meaningful/kinder/eco/animal-friendly things to do with their time in terms of places to eat, cool products, books, films, volunteering - so kinder stuff. We are a young urban team of writers and so we need a slick, un-hippified logo.
Industry
Entertainment
Color Preferences
It needs to appeal to both men and women - so avoid anything too girly or hardcore.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
Check out these sites as they are sites we ourselves have drawn on for content inspiration - buzzfeed, Treehugger, hautenature, SHFT, EcoSalon, Ecoki, ecofabulous, Grist.org.

The contest attachments I uploaded are screengrabs from our site which is on staging - but it will give you an idea of the kind of content that will be on the site

Also loaded two logos we really like - the idea of a 'stamp of approval' appeals

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.

More detailed information on how to get the most out of your contest can be found here:

Okay - here are the remaining changes needed:

Design 81: (a) pop the apostrophe in (b) a version of 81 in dark grey but with zero graininess (c) a version of 81 in solid black with zero graininess

Designs 89, 91, 88 and 87....(a) pop in apostrophe where missing and keep grainy (b) versions of these four in the colours they are in, but solid and not grainy

Is that cool?

Can you provide me with all the colour/texture options for final - as its the same logo, just in different colours and textures which we could use interchangeably (particularly on our stickers) - so it would be...(I hope I get this right)....

89, 91, 98, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100.

So these should all be the exact same logo (all with their apostrophes in) but just in various solid colours and their grainy partners.

If you are cool with that, we are all done done. We love the logo and can't wait to apply it everywhere

You have to chose one entry as the official winner. For example #100 which is #83 + apostrophe .

Then I will be able to upload the final files for it...you can check and approve these..

Once the files have been approved I will send all the other color versions to your email.
