Re-Imagine Mack RoadLogo Design Contest

You can learn more about the Mack Road Partnership at our website. www.mackroadpartnership.com

Hello Designers! There are some very nice concepts being developed. Thanks so much for helping us formulate the identity for the event! It's important that the 3 lead entities who are working together on the event see elements of the logo in the new Re-Imagine logo. I see a nice tie to Mack Road Partnership and also to Re-Building Together. I'd love to see some logos that incorporate some of the Helping Hands element.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Hello Designers,
The star as a symbol is not a good one for this design as it is a gang symbol in the area. What other symbols might we use to put forth the idea of renewal? I also am seeing many designs that look very much like church emblems and we are a business district, not a religious entity. Looking forward to seeing the next round.

Dear Designers,
Thanks for all the submissions so far. I have extended the contest for another day in hopes that we'll get some new concepts. Please put on your best creative thinking caps and let's see if we can get something that really wows the selection committee. Here are some additional notes that may help:
-The logo is for a rebuild day to completely make over a part of town that has struggled with falling business and rising crime.
-The project is being lead by three entities. The Mack Road Partnership which is the business improvement district for the area. Re-building Together which is an organization that performs no and low-cost repairs to allow people to age in place or stay in their homes if money is an issue. And finally, the LDS Church will bring volunteers to the project. We would like some element of each of these entities logos to be incorporated into the project logo. Please build around the MRP logo.
-Please don't use stars in the logo. We like them, but they are the symbol for a local gang so are off limits.
OK! Let's see what you've got!
