The spiral....symbol of spiritual journey and growth across most cultures...... infinite expression (moving both inward and outward). Hand-drawn to connect to the earth.....and speak to the soul.
Hi! Thank you for your entries. We are reviewing the logos by committee now and would love it if you could resubmit the two that you have withdrawn (including one that had two interlocking spirals). It was beautiful and we would love to consider it. Thank you very much! Saskia
Thanks for your comments and interest in my designs. I withdrew the interlocking spirals because I was concerned they were looking a bit too close to another designer's concept. I never want to move too closely to another's design. There is still some time in your contest....so, let me see what I can work out. I'll get back to you concerning this as soon as I can.
:-) I am happy to have this one back to consider! Thank you. Can you please try playing with the colors in #298 and #202? I would love to see more vibrant, less earthy colors to counterbalance the earthy theme. Just to try... Maybe greens?
One more adjustment... In #306 and #301, can you make the colors bleed together/ fade into one another so that they look like they are transitioning from one to the other, without that break between them? Also, can you slightly clean up the edges to make it look a little bit less rough?
As you will see, our core team has narrowed it down to the two newer designs. I am sorry the swirls didn't work out. There was too much disagreement about them, the colors and the rawness. Some love it, others didn't. But, people were universally intrigued by the aerial earth designs!
So, can you make a few more variations on this theme?
- One team member was saying that they would like to see the spiral that is in #364 (white) inside #345, but I am not sure how that would look with the other lines already circling the outer edge of the inner circle. I will leave it to you to see if this works? Could you make #346 bigger -- similar in scale to #345, and maybe a touch less busy? I think it could come back if so.
- Could you make #345 much smaller and put it to the right of the words, maybe increasing the size of "new earth institute". We want to see a long version of that logo as well.
- Can you try #345 with different fonts?
- Can you play with the colors? We would like to see a two tone version that would look great in black and white also so that we can use it for b&w printing when needed. Now it looks a bit washed out because the lines all blur together.
- On all versions, make "institute" just a touch bigger.
(This comment references Entry #412) The spiral also symbolized a thumbprint....and represents the contribution of one's own unique mark towards positive change.
Great concepts. One of our team members would love to see a variation of #418, making the seeding leaf a head w/ arms reaching out. It can be an abstract figure...
I love #433. Can you clean up #416 in the same way? Can you give #433 the same lettering as #412 Can we see a two tone version of #433 w/ these variations (black and white)? Thank you for your amazing creativity!
Thank you for all of your design submissions. We are under final review now and so I will be in touch...! I love the designs you have given us!!! Warmly, Saskia
