    Hello designers,

    The "New Genesis Community" needs a logo. NGC is a Christian organization focused on helping create partnerships within the community (inc. businesses and organizations) that help improve the lives of families and individuals.

    Feedback will be provided to everyone.

    Idea: A new beginning within the community, bringing helping hands together in partnership, to improve the lives of all in need.

    Options: The founder likes the symbol of holding/shaking hands. However, he expressed a desire to see your unique creative ideas that capture the idea of "community", "new beginnings", "starting over", "helping", etc.

    Versions of the logo may contain "New Genesis" only, or the full "New Genesis Community". The founder would also like to see options with "NGC" used.

    Delivery Format: Vector preferred + PNG

    Colors: Founder likes earthy colors, but is open to seeing your creative options.

    Winner: $50 via PayPal

    Fine print:
    • Winner must agree to transfer full copyright to "New Genesis Community", for unrestricted future use, royalty free.
    • Please do not incorporate any graphic elements for which you do not hold the copyright.
    • Please, no stolen or purchased designs. Original work desired by skilled artists.

    Thank-you to everyone for participating. Looking forward to seeing some amazing designs. =)

    @ideosmil:

    Wow - that is very cool! Great first entry. I personally really like the strong text you have created, and the holding hards part of the symbol is very strong. Both color versions have impact. We'll get some feedback from the founder to see if he also likes it, and/or requires any changes to make it perfect for his used.

    @all:

    We're off to a little bit of a slow start. I hope that means many of your are working away on some masterpieces that you will post soon. ;)

    @nidhi1100:

    I like where you're going with this concept. I'm not sure about the color selection though. The primary colors might be a bit too bold. You should consider trying some more earthy tones. Also would be interested in seeing some different font face options.

    @nidhi1100 - Thanks for the update. I don't think those colors work. I just don't think they are the right tones. If the founder is interested in your logo, we'll need to identify a better palette for you to try out.

    @ZinniDoll - Thank-you for your submission. I don't think your logo will work out for NGC. To be fair, I'll highlight each item that contributes to that decision. Colors don't work well together. Shadowing effect a bit too excessive. Would need a better font choice for NGC text. Ring about partners looks like a hula hoop.

    @all - I haven't clarified with the founder, but I'm not sure he wants to use the cross symbol within the logo. His only stated idea was shaking or holding hands to symbolize partnership, collaboration, working together, community, etc.

    Note: We are hoping to see several new concepts. So far, none of the options really jumps out as the choice for NGC. ideosmil is the leading choice at the moment:

    Your latest version looks great. What does the ladder/path represent?

    @all - The contest is closed now. Since it is the Memorial Day week-end, I may not be able to get a decision until Tuesday. I'll let you know asap. My contact is vacationing until then.

    Please note: Due to the lack of response in this contest, the founder has limited options to choose from. As a result, he may opt to either extend/re-launch this contest, or terminate it. If he does not choose from the current options, we will issue a $10 payment to the person who submitted the best of the submissions, even if not being used as a consolation prize.

    Apologies for the delay. After review, the founder selected ideosmil's logo as the winner. I will be contacting you via PM for final arrangements. Thank-you to all participants.
