Slogan
(Not really sure if we want it in the logo) Access - Inclusion - Opportunity
What We Do
The National Coalition for Disability Rights (NCDR) is a Washington, DC-based alliance of hundreds of national, state and local disability, civil rights and social justice organizations united to defend and advance the human rights of children and adults with physical, mental, cognitive, intellectual, sensory and developmental disabilities.
Industry
Non-Profit
Color Preferences
Please see colors we are working with on our website in progress temporarily at: www.disabilityrightsnews.org
The case can also be made that we should be using red, white and blue but we would like to stay with the colors on the website.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
We do not want a wheelchair incorporated into our logo design. We represent people all types of disabilities both visible and invisible. Seeking to convey a vital, stable organization uniting and representing citizens at the highest levels of government and in the media. We will also be launching a series of major benefit concerts as we approach the 20th anniversary of the ADA in 2010. Not sure how to balance the Washington serious with the music cool :). We will need another logo for the series eventually.

We appreciate the serious thought and skillful execution of entries #7 and #8. We don't, however, want to emphasize one disability over another. It is very difficult to include images or even implied images of people because of the risk of portraying somebody with a disability as be weak, helpless, etc. This is the charity model that we are trying to avoid as we work on empowerment and pride.

General Comment: While we are not wild about the logo currently at www.disabilityrightsnews.org, we would perhaps be interested in seeing something that also incorporates the outline of the U.S. Maybe with the NCDR inside the map or some other treatment. Don't want to get hung up on this because I think it is tricky to make work professionally...

#17 is really thoughtful and well-executed. We like it. It is elegant. I am not sure it works as a trademark-type logo but I could see it possibly being used on our publications, event programs, etc.
