New Visions Counseling GroupLogo Design Contest

my first submission #174

Its a symbol formed from a " NV " where the " V " intersects with the " N " forming a body icon hands up with the head being part of the intersected " N " .

Your feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kareem

I like the font in #177 best, with maybe a little less heft/thickness. Not sold on the pictoral mark though. Other ideas?

Decided to try capitalizing New Visions instead of going all lower case. See what happens from there. thx

ok will do, thanks

#181 , my best so far, this can be looked at in many ways and i am sure u will notice that at the first glance.

its the " NV " connected together. they could be looked at as chairs or bodies of human. Now the two heads on top of them, are facing each other, therapist and patient.

The " V " curve could be looked at as a catching hand, where the patient is sitting ( facing the therapist on the other side " N " of the chair )

let me know your feedback on that one. hope you like it and the concept behined executing it.

Thanks,
Kareem

#184 and other ones, different head shapes for same concept.

#187 , same concept, but with a growing tree / leafs from the middle and them sharing / holding it.

on all concepts above, if you liked it, we can work on color variations and fine tuning all we want based on your feedback.

#184 and #185 are my favorites, since it is clear that it is two people facing each other. #180 is interesting, except that it looks like two people about to kiss. Playing around with some colors might be a good idea, since the blues seem too traditionally medical/hospital-like to me. I'l get Hayden's feedback tomorrow and see what he has to say.

Could you do an NV, like what you have now, but where the inside edges of each letter form the silhouette of two faces looking toward each other? The V would be more like I/. Did that even make sense? (kinda similar to the vase/profile illusion by Edgar John Rubin)

Yes Jason, i could possibly work that out and do it for you, i'll have different colors combination for your favourites and will provide you with that one option with the inside edges being silhouette of two faces looking toward each other as well, glad u liked it.

Thanks,
Kareem

Done ur requested changes, let me know ur feedback if any and i will work on it from there.

Interesting. I think the vase part of the vase/profile illusion needs to be more symmetrical for it to work. What if you separated the N and I/ to create more space/room between the letters for the faces? I ranked the black version only because it was the most legible, though it is not necessarily my favorite color wise.

they are symmetrical, do you want the face shapes to be like those squared with just a nose ? more generic instead of those current ones ?

#249. No, I like the silhouette you have. More black on the vertical parts of N V would be nice though. Also... I posted a comment on the contest page about a dream I had. Check it out if you want.

I like the chins at the bottom, like in #247.

yeah i will, just clear out the way for u here so its not crowded to stick to those narrowed down and work on the tweeks you ask for

Oops. You withdrew the one that had the color scheme that was my favorite. Just because I don't rank some of them does not mean that I am not considering them. I think it was #234 but not sure. I'd prefer if you wouldn't withdraw some because they can help me as points of reference. But maybe you have your reasons. If you want to withdraw the ones with the plant motif, that'd be okay by me.

i didnt withdraw because of that, i just wanted to keep things to minimal because i felt they were all over the place, i will put it back on.

Just wanted to say, I like #249 a lot. It's got a lot of symbolic elements and looks really clean and balanced. You have the chalice (communion) and the therapist could be seen as a grounded and balanced symbol on the left (facing down) while the client is an open and receptive symbol (facing up.) It's also very easy to change the color scheme on this design if you wanted to try out some different looks. All of this on top of conveying "NV" as well!

#257 is just an abstract trail on your vision, where the " V " is forming the man and the child on his lap, both looking upwards towards the falling stars.

The " V " for " Vision " is highlighted in name with same color as in logo, and " New " is lighter grey as the focus is on " Vision " and them " Visioning " for a better future.

Hope you like this one, let me know your feedback.

On all my logos, i try to keep it stylish and elegant and corporate in a way.

#259 , better version of the heads, the father head is bigger and the kid head is smaller with different tilting angles to give it a more warmer look.

I like #259 the best out of your new series.

Thanks for taking a stab at the new logo (from the dream). First of all, forget what I said about the meteor shower. I didn't mean that literally. As for the silhouette, I was picturing something more exact (the actual outline of a person holding a child on their hip), rather than a stylized version. Will send private message.

#269 and #270 , looking good in black and white too ! which is an indication that its a strong logo and would work on any color variations we want to go with too.

again, i made sure its all corporate / proffisional look, and if you see the details of the head of the man and his child, you would feel it so real and alive with those little curves i did to it.

the abstract could be anything you want, sun, space, something in the future, a vision they are looking towards.

let me know your feedback on this, hope you like it.

Thanks,
Kareem

Hmmm.... the feet ARE a challenge. And I'm not sure the silhouette is quite understandable enough. Potential? Maybe. But it may just not be that good of an idea. The "artwork" design would be important, so maybe you could try some stuff with that. Dolphin Press's design #274 is closest to what I saw in my dream.

Is there anything you want me to do with existing concepts ? liked anything about one and want to see in a different formation ?

Let me know.

Thanks,
Kareem

#363 , thats close to your vase concept, let me know what u think.

What if you put the left face on the right vertical side of the N, and the right face on the left vertical of V ( I/), so that both faces extend (chin to crown) from the bottom to the top of both letters? If I'm not explaining this well, I can send you a drawing.

Looking good. How about we try #388 pushed a little closer, and try #390 with the green, then with the orange (same as you used before).
