I assume this is Elk Grove, CA correct? I saw your contest today and thought, I love to do my part in helping the local community, so I had to join the contest. :)
OK, I may be over thinking this but here are my ideas behind my entries. I used the figure as the A with the path forming the crossbar of the A. Figure is raising the roof to show it helping provide for the community. I chose the path shape to not only move towards the home, but to also represent a "turn-around" in other peoples lives.
On a couple of the entries I also added sun rays to represent a new day or brighter future. I hope you like them. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
Hello and thanks for the ranking. Fortunately, I made the Top 5, so I can enter new ideas. I tried to offer more colors since it's LESS expensive to print than 2-color (20+ years in printing, see my profile by clicking on my avatar) and saw that it was initially ranked higher, but they have since been eliminated. I gather that blue and black is the way to go. Can you offer any other feedback as to what you might want to see change? What you like or don't like about the logo? Every bit of information helps.
Is there a website that I can get more information on your organization and maybe get some ideas? Please let me know.
