I like the logo. However, we are looking to add some blue in there, as that is the color of our parent company logo. May we could do like a blue base color with a gold stroke. The font is too strong...I would like to see a softer look to the logo. I don't think the shield is the right representation for what we are looking for either.

This logo will be used on many different materials so needs to be easily applicable.
Thank you so much for helping us out! I hope my feedback will help you revise your logo. The logo is for a division of the company found on Christian Credit Counseling|Debt Consolidation|Credit Counselors|ibudget.org -. I would like the logos to mesh well together yet stand apart from each other as both logos will be on every piece we do.
Thanks again!

I LOVE the font!
We have actually just decided to change the name to Good Samaritan Program (instead of Project). I would like a better logo to represent the organization...possibly a helping hand or something showing we are here to help families with their finances.
Thank you so much for your submission! If you could make those few changes, we will definitely be heading in the right direction.

Waardii

Hey, here are some concepts, i made these before i saw that you changed the name to 'projects', but that can easily be changed.
Thanks,

amberj

I love the logo on the bottom option. The font is a little dull and needs to stand out more. If we could make that pop a little more that would be great!
Thanks for your submission.

Waardii

Okay, thanks a lot for the feedback, i'll get working on it.

Hey,i just quickly threw in some ideas, tell me which aspects you like/dislike and i can work on them as soon as possible! Thanks,

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Sorry about the red cross in bottom right, just realised i accidentally screenshot it

amberj

I would prefer to have a transparent background. The 2 people seem to be forming an "S"...could we make that a little more defined? I'm thinking maybe we could delete "The" and just have GSP with the "S" being the two pepole. Also, can we use a more original, fun font such as the font used in the 2nd submitted logo by smghost001? I like the gold color too.

Waardii

ahhh those are some great ideas, thanks. I shall work on them and get something submitted tomorrow. Thanks for the great feedback.

smghost001

Hi, thanks for the feedback. How about this?

The logo is too long so we will have to move Program underneath. I love the font but the rest isn't very eye-catching. If you can spice it up somehow, that would be better.

smghost001

Hi amberj,

Moving the program would be no prob at all, however, I'm sure you will find that when you see the logo resized to fit a webpage it will most probably look best as the "long" version. Anyway, I'll move the program underneath tomorrow so you can see what it looks like.

Regarding spicing it up, you mentioned that you wanted the logo to be professional, no cartoons and targeted towards adults, etc so I'd just like to ask what kind of spicing up you had in mind. I don't want to overdo it in the sense that it will no longer suit your requirements.

Below is a smaller (proper size in site) version: (just so you can visualise it on a site)

Hey, here's a revision, incorporated different font and tried to make the 's' stand out,
Thanks.

amberj

smghost001,
we are looking for a professional logo but it also has to be catchy. it's going to be used on way more than website. we will be using this for ALL of our marketing pieces so has to be very universal. this logo would be fine for a website but doesn't have the "WOW factor" we need for other marketing pieces.

Waardii,

I love your ideas! I would like to go back to the original logo which is more circular rather than the defined "S" shape. I see an "S" in the rounded version so lets use that. I like the bottom option the best. I LOVE the "P" but the "G" isn't definede enough so lets try to find a font with a more defined "G". The top fade is too much on the "G" and the "P" as it won't transfer well on white. Lets make it more gold-toned at the top. Then we should be ready to rock and roll

Thank so much!

Waardii

Awesome, thanks for the great and quick feedback Shall be getting a revision submitted within next hour or two. Thanks a lot.

Hey, I made the changes in this revision, changed the font of the 'G' and changed the gradient of the gold,
Thanks.

Hello!
Thank you for the quick revision. We would like to see the main logo part in the middle smaller and have that in the back and the "G" and "P" in the front. I like the shading a lot! We are going to need to use a stronger font as those you used are a little too contemporary for our needs. (I do like them tho!). Can we also try having the blue logo with the words "Good Samaritan Program" bordering it forming a true circle?
Thank you SOOOO much!

Waardii

Hey, thanks for the feedback, will get right on it. Will try to incorporate a) bolder font, b) layout/ size of middle logo and c) the new design idea with the blue writing. I'm a little confused about the font as you asked for me to use something similar to smghost001, but i shall give it a go

amberj

Yeah the more we looked at it the more we realized it was a little too contemporary. Sorry about that!

Waardii

Heyy here's the revision ,
Thanks.

amberj

I LOVE the bottom right one. Can we remove the gradient and make the font a little thicker?

THANK YOU!!!

Waardii

Hey, here's the revision I wasn't quite sure which bottom one you meant, so i did both,
Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Oh woops, just realised you put 'bottom right', give me a couple of minutes to improve upon it. Sorry

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Okay, here it is, i made the font bolder and removed the gradient,
Thanks.

amberj

It's "Program" no "Project"
Can you also rotate the title so "The" starts on the upper-left hand side?

Thanks!

Waardii

sorry! Stupid mistake! Give me couple of minutes
