TeenHelpOnline.comLogo Design Contest

symbolism is as follows:

two open hands/also bird, one with an empty heart, one with a full, one sort of tethered to the nest/ground and one with full heart flying in blue sky

happy to do variations on anything i enter (fonts, colors, form, suggestions....) so if you would like to see anything in particular, please ask.

Feedback and direction always good.
thx.

76 has the lower person (parent or mentor or...) supporting the upper person, (the teen) who is reaching down to stabilize himself/herself while reaching for the star

75/two individuals communicating with heart.

Love the multi-color approach to the font and title. Like #75 the best; could you do one with the elongated title rather than stacked so I can see what that looks like. I also like #76 but it's not colorful enough for me. rs

Thanks so much for the ranking and the feedback and direction! Tried a few treatments based on your requests. Please let me know if i gave you what you were wanting or if you would like to see anything else. Open to suggestions, since this is your logo, want it to be right for you. :-)

Can you try and get me a entire new look? I want to see if we can get a nice multi-color look but maybe keep the design simple and elegant. The graphics that are currently posted are a little kiddish and we want something that speaks to parents trust and consistency. So if you could do something basic that would be great. Maybe take inspiration off of the Google chrome logo good solid multi-color logo but simple. Still need to represent friendly helping but maybe make it a little more modern.

96 is a bridge, central character on top of the group of supports (family members?)

99 representative of:
two parts of the main circle (larger bottom half/support/parent/reaching out, top half teen)
inner green circle is complete and represents full circle of communication and process

#100 similar theme to 99

101 and 102 follow most of the same theme but conversation bubbles added in the center of the circle meet in the middle

105 similar theme, but in this one the conversation bubbles overlap creating (something must be sinking in, the overlap becomes a third color :-)

c

with logo #106 can you do two hands clasping each other one in the orange and the other in blue. I just want to see how it would look. so just replace the talk bubbles with hands.

If the concept in 119 appeals to you, putting the pieces together using heart and communication, if you would like i can work on more dimension/effects.

Okay, guess I am a little confused and would like to double check on direction. Your last note said you wanted to go more toward a sophisticated simple logo and also away from the stylized figures. Just checked rankings and it seems to be going back toward the old direction. So, just would like to get things more clarified before moving toward something if possible.
thx

130 is a compass using the heart.

if you would care to see a different font on any of them, like the recent compass of heart entries, let me know. thanks.
c

ps: compass represents finding a new direction, using guidance and the heart.

possible slogan: Helping your teen find their true North.

Thanks for the new designs & slogan; something to think about ... we didn't really have a slogan. I am going to speak with the team in the morning. rs

Thanks so much. Remember if you would like to see other variations of any one of the entries (colors, fonts, etc.) still happy to do.

118 shows connecting with you teen through thoughts and conversation chanelled through, connecting through, centering on the heart. (i don't think i ever put a description up for that one

another thing about a compass is that if you veer off course (like everyone does sometimes) it helps you get back on track.

added a couple more versions of the compass today.

just checking in again to see if there is anything you need adjusted or to see?
thx

I think we've settled on this design. Can you give us any suggestions for what we will do if we need to place it on a completely blue website? www.teenhelponline.com? We plan on using it most of the time with the white background but need your insight on placement on our website banner. Thank you. rs

Hi, 145 is a version of that same thing only I changed the com to something that would contrast more with the background of the color blue. 144 is what that logo would look like on approximately the blue you have for the background (only your blue has a bit of mix, so this is, of course, only an approximation.) So, you should be able to just place 145 as is on your site. Remember also, you will also be getting an eps version which is the version you will want to give to your vendors, and other designers if they need to make changes or other versions for their needs.
c

also i can once the file is approved and finalized, send you a .png format which has a transparent back, and your eps will also have a transparent back.

C

ps: for the one you mark as the winner, don't mark the blue background, mark the one with the white background.

C

pps: or you could go ahead and choose 118 and just give the eps file to your web designer and have them change the .com to white which would also look nice (maybe even nicer and keep the strong blue .com for anythingn on a white or light colored background.

C

or as in 146 you could put a white circle behind the main emblem and change the .com to white.

oh, btw, the blue i used for the background samples is actually sampled from a bit of the actual background of your site.

Thanks for those recommendations: 146 will probably work the best on a blue background. One last thing - can you give me a design like 118 with the font work of 127 and 109?

147 and 148 are the new uploads.

C

One last thing - can you make #148 "teenhelponline" segment a little larger and put the .com underneath? Thank you.

149 just uploaded. Let me know if you need anything more.
C

We are ready to select a winner and looks like 149 is the one. Will we be able to get this in a raw format so we can separate the lettering from the logo for different things we will be doing?

besides the jpgs, you will be getting an eps file. the eps you will be getting will be the file you want to give to your vendors, printers, different designers, etc. Always keep a clean copy of it that you can send to them. They can use that to produce the size, resolution and type of file they need for their output. You can also use it to import into various programs and it will have a transparent back. After approval, i will also, if you wish send you a couple of png files, which also have a transparent back to them and are sometimes easier to use for importing, etc. into some documents. (For that, i will need a direct email, since LT only has upload space for the jpgs and eps document for approval.--So, once it is approved, please, if you do want the pngs, send me a private message (these comment areas go public after contest ends) with your private email address.

C

got your email address, but still need to have files approved first. please click "Approve" link under My Account > My Ended contests.

Thanks much
Carla

Carla,

All of the files look great with the exception of the eps file. And this might just be my lack of understanding about the design. However in the eps file there are some faint lines that show up in the logo. Any idea what those are and will they show up in printed or other versions?

Please advise.

Thanks
