The Performing Arts ProjectLogo Design Contest

We appreciate the direction you are going in -- particularly the playfulness. But the jumbly letters appear to be kid-themed. We want something a little more adult, and edgy. Nice first draft, though!

Hi Julie,

I thought I would ask you if you want to consider something this raw...:-)

So if you can give me some input as I upload possibilities or if you want to share what you envision I will go into your direction..

Thank you
Teresa

hi teresa,

i don't know if you saw the updated brief, but i'll paste it here so that you have a lot more information about what we're looking for:

thanks!

Thanks for all the great submissions so far!

We have heard feedback from some designers that "outside-the-box" ideas are typically not rewarded on this site, and that safer, more "corporate" logos usually win. THIS IS NOT THE CASE HERE. We are looking for something truly creative and original. We are a non-profit trying to break new ground, and the last thing we want is to appear safe or corporate.

We teach high school and college-aged performers to sing, act, and dance, but the higher priority is to teach them how to be brave and how to find their artistic voice. We value heart and character, and we love the oddball. We encourage students to risk failure, avoid artistic safety, and we help them embrace originality.

There can be a sense of that "danger" in our logo. We do want to appear professional, but with a "wink." We are very selective, and there is a mystique about us. People whisper and wonder what it's like to go through our program.

Finally, there is a sense of joy. We're about sharing and fostering the love of art for art's sake, and we rigorously curate a positive, supportive environment.

Thank you for sharing that ....I will brainstorm some more posibilities.

So you want to move away from brush strokes and do something more refined?
The reason I am asking I can change type styles on this logo.

Thank you for your input!
Teresa

hi teresa,

something this raw and simple might work for us. i will show your designs to our artistic director today. we will still explore more complicated and dynamic designs, but there's something to be said for simplicity.

if you have the time, we'd love to see more variations on this theme -- but it's totally ok if you don't. it's hard to say what we'll want in the end.

thanks!

Hello Julie,

I will certainly add more variations along this theme or if you want more complicartted and dynamic I can do that also.

I will be out all afternoon and will add more possibilities for you this evening.

Thank you!
Teresa

Hello Julie,

I got back from my class and additional work late...if it is okay I will upload more entries in the morning.

Have a restful evening
Teresa

No problem - thank you! We look forward to seeing them!

Hello Julie,

I had to attend to some other things and here now.
Will submit some new variations in about an hour.
Thank you!
Teresa

Hello,

I just got back and I missed the Top 5 phase,

I can still do these but only in the first rank....you may move the designs around as you need to do so.

I think I understand you want to see each one of these separately under one of designs.

I will check back to see if you still would like to see these.

Thank you!
Teresa

Hello

I noticed you hadn't made the change.
I will be out this afternoon and will check back with you this evening.

Have a wonderful day
Teresa
