Fellow designers,
As I am about to bring to a close the competition for a logo for the Nord Victims of Terror Foundation I wanted to share with you something of a more personal nature. I have to admit that in my wildest dreams, I did not think, beginning this process of bid for the Nord’s Foundation logo that we will be getting such an amount of unbelievable, creative, powerful, emotional and meaningful proposals. You all are exceptionally GIFTED. Logo Tournament among its many virtues enables designers to “shine” and our bid was one example demonstrating it.
I want to thank few of the international designers who not only participated and put into this process their talent and “gift” but also communicated throughout the process both with me and with the Nord’s in order to better understand the task in hand. And yes, I do think that this is an important thing to do…. : Use LogoTournament as a platform – BUT also connect with the bidder or with his/her clients to best learn about the circumstances. It takes time, it takes away the “anonymity” BUT it can help. So thank you Eddy from France (our #2). And Babix from Indonesia (our #3) and Elysia (Cream & Sugar) and others.
And thank you (yet again!) Logo Tournament for enabling such an AMAZING process around the world to take place. It enabled us to meet Kim (Peach) for Kim to meet the Nord’s and their needs in advocating and helping victims of terror and for Kim to skillfully create a logo that takes the Nord’s vision to the next level.
Thank you all from your friend here in Pittsburgh.
