Not a businessLogo Design Contest

I know it's a map pf Alaska, but others won't. Looks like a boat, bot a cruise ship. Get Glaciered logo needs to be in the design. As does reference to Alaska 2014. Thanks very much.

Want to be clear on guidelines. "Get Glaciered" is our logo and "Get Glaciered" needs to be in the overall logo design. I would also like to see the words Alaska 2014 or Alaska '14 in the logo design. Perhaps glacier with a ship in the foreground. Whale? Eagle?

Please also remember that kids will be judging. Also think "kid funny." Would a kid interpret "Get Glaciered" as a ice falling on someone? On someone slipping and falling on ice?

Looking for out of the box ideas in addition to what I would describe as conventional.

Thanks very much.

Starting to move in the right direction. What I'm seeing thus far are emblem type logos. Other options are certainly fine as well. Adult and kid friendly options will all be considered.

Only 2 designers and 9 designs submitted thus far. Need more activity before I can rank anything, but will do so as soon as more entries are submitted. Thanks very much.

Still hoping to see more activity. Frankly thought this would be an easier/more fun contest. No corporate types to deal with. Just a bunch of friends and families going on an Alaskan Cruise together. Get Glaciered doesn't have a specific meaning. Just something that we came up with. But there are a lot of elements that come to mind when I think Alaska. The cruise ship for one - plus glaciers, eagles, bears, seals, aurora borealis, fishing and hunting, our itinerary which includes Vancouver, Juneau and Ketchikan, kayaks, Native Americans/First Nation residents. Can also be kid crazy ideas e.g. a skiing seal jumping into and being flattened on a glacier?

Love to see your thoughts. Thanks for participating.

Have heard from 7 designers and very much appreciate your input. But would still love to hear from more of you. I know you're out there.

Thanks.

Good afternoon everyone. We've had some great response, but quite frankly not as much as anticipated. You'll note that the contest has been extended until Friday so please keep your ideas coming. Looking at the designs thus far the emphasis has been kid oriented which is great. I've indicated that kids (from age 6 to 18) will ultimately make the final decision, but you can bet that there will be quite a bit of parental guidance (and influence). Would love to see some additional input that is a bit more adult oriented. Perhaps more traditional. Emphasis on nature, the environment, the natural beauty of Alaska, the last wilderness.

Thanks all. Really appreciate everyone's hard work and input.

Thanks everyone. Looks like things are quieting down. I expect to end the contest tomorrow evening - probably by 6pm Eastern Standard Time.

Emphasis has been on kid oriented "fun" logos and you all have sent some great ones. I did receive 1 more standard (not so much kid oriented) logo. Would like to see a couple of others if possible.

I'll then select 5 or 6 logos and then let the kids (with parental guidance) select the top 3.

Thanks again.
