The Wylie Draper FoundationLogo Design Contest

Thank you for your submission! Wow ....great movement in the design. Would be interested in seeing a couple of other color combinations (possibly purple and gold on a black backgrund) Also could try a variation just using large "WDF" with "the Wylie Draper Foundation" in a smaller font. we sometime just refer to the foundation as "WDF".

Great work!!

Hello,

These are the first two using "WDF" and "The Wylie Draper Foundation" in a smaller font.
Just a color change between them to show you what that looks like.

More to come.
Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

A different layout as an option, with a reflection that adds some more depth.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

I withdrew #15, the one with the reflection, because something wasn't centered perfectly. This is the corrected version.

Thank you,
Tim

Tim,

Did you sleep last night? I see you have been very busy.... Great work!! We have a lot of things to look at will be getting back to everyone a little later this afternoon!

Hello,

I did get a little sleep last night :-)
This is my design from #12 using a circle instead of the square as another option.
It's no trouble at all to change the colors on any of these, or mix and match.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

This one uses different shades of purple and orange, as well as different sunbeams.
Just another look as an option.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

I thought I would try some different colors for you to see.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

This is another one I had been working on as another option to show you.

Thank you,
Tim

Great work please take the date off and give me a little brillance arround the edges.

Hello,

Thank you again for the feedback, I really appreciate that. I'll get to work on it now.

I also wanted to take a moment to mention that I respectfully disagree with the post stating that solid colors pop far superior in print than gradients. Sometimes they do, sometimes they do not. It depends on the color, the background color, what you are printing on (newsprint vs magazine quality)...any number of things.
A well known example of one of many logos that use gradients:

Hello,

This is #9 with the date removed and a thin, bright outline added around the elements.
If I misunderstood, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm happy to make variations for you to see.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

In this one, I brightened the sunbeams to change the look a bit as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

This is the one with the brighter sunbeams and glow.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

This is another idea I've been working on as another option for you.

Thank you,
Tim

Thank you Tim!

You're very welcome.

We have judging questions that will be coming to you shortly. we will be changing one of your designs back to #1 so that we can address them. Thank you for your patience and great work!!!

Hello,

Thank you very much for the update.
I'll keep an eye on this so I can make any changes quickly for you.

Thank you,
Tim

Great!

Good morning Tim,

This what we would like to see:

#61 in the layout like #20 & #17 (of course using the Sun Icon from #61)

We would also like to see #16 using the sun icon from #61 keeping the purple waves.

As soon as we recieve the last revisions from our other designer I will move #61 to the 1st place position so that we can discuss any further design revisions.

Thank you again for your patience

Tim,

Let me know if you have any questions about my last post.

Thanks!

Also, if you have any thoughts or suggestions about other color combinations beyond purple/yellow & blue/yellow. we would love to see. the purple is very strong and of course represents royalty but we are open to other color palets that might push in different direction but keep the heart of the design in tact!

Hello,

Thank you very much for the opportunity. I'm sorry I had just missed your message, I had left for an appointment shortly before and I'm on my way back now. I'll have those variations done as soon as possible, definitely this afternoon.

Thanks again,
Tim

Hello,

This is the first variation using the sun from #61 in the #20 layout.
I'm almost done with the others and will be submitting them shortly.

Thank you again for the opportunity to show you these,
Tim

Hello,

These two are variations of #61 used in the layout of #17.

More to come...

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #70)

Hello,

#73 is #61 using the #17 layout on a white background with the orange and purple instead of the gold, as an option.

More to come...

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

This is #16 using the sun from #61.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #74)

Hello,

This is #74 with some changes. It uses a different shade of purple in the waves and a different gold tone in the letters.
It's a subtle difference, but it does change the look a bit as an option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #75)

Hello,

This one uses more yellows than oranges for a different look.
I can mix and match any of these. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you would like to see the colors from one with another, or anything at all.

Thank you again,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #77)

Thanks Tim. We are Truly on the last lap. We all very much appreciate your talent and patience in working with us. We have a very difficult decision!

Hello,

Thank you very much for the update.
I thought I would take a moment to explain what I was thinking with the design, as I realized I hadn't done that yet.
I wanted to illustrate the pursuit of a dream, and I think the horizon is a good symbol for that. The bright, warm sunrise is symbolic of a bright future and the motivation to pursue that dream.

Thank you,
Tim
