June 18th - CONTEST UPDATE: AS REQUESTED, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR RENDERINGS CAN WORK PERFECTLY WELL IN BLACK AND WHITE. NO GRAY SCALE OR MULTIPLE SHADES OF ONE COLOR AS IT WON'T WORK VERY WELL. ALSO, SOME BOARD MEMBERS FEEL THE ARCHER HAS BECOME A BIT TOO SPORTY. PLEASE CONSIDER JUST USING AN ARROW WITHOUT THE ACTUAL PERSON/ARCHER AS A MODIFIED CONCEPT. WE WANT SOMETHING CORPORATE, SIMPLE AND CLASSIC AND MORE ABOUT THE TEXT "DAVE NEE FOUNDATION" THAN THE GRAPHIC. PLEASE FOCUS ON THE TEXT/TYPOGRAPHY AND MAKING THAT THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE OVERALL LOGO. THIS APPLIES TO ALL CONCEPTS. THANKS TO ALL SUBMISSIONS TO DATE! PLEASE TRY TO HAVE ALL YOUR SUBMISSIONS POSTED BY END OF DAY SUNDAY, JUNE 21ST. THANK YOU FROM THE DAVE NEE FOUNDATION!

I think they posted the examples of the compasses, archers and a bridge as a reference, not to copy and put with type. WTF

No, WRONG, she wants both her original ideas and anything we come up with.

We've provided some examples of our own designs to use as inspiration. We like our designs and appreciate them being rendered professionally, however, we are looking for additional ideas on how to take the concepts to the next level. We feel the right logo is not necessarily one of our ideas, but rather something influenced by it. Something more simple, refined and clever. We want professional, corporate, serious and clean ideas with DAVE NEE FOUNDATION as the focal point. Thanks to all!

Dear designers, Thank you all very much for all your work to date. I'm amazed at the variety of designs and overall professionalism exhibited by all of you. I wanted to clarify for you how our selection process is working. All the voting board members of this foundation will see these designs for the first time on Monday morning, June 22nd. The comments you see now are from a few people, me mostly, that are helping the foundation but are not necessarily voting members. It's fair to say, therefore, that this contest is wide open and not until mid-week will we know which of the designs have stood out and impressed the board members the most. The comments and scores you see now are simply my best guess as to how the board will receive your entry, but it is very subjective. Once we narrow down our set of favorites next week, we may ask a few designers to tweak a logo here and there and we will make our final vote on Thursday, so winner will be announced and selected by Friday, June 26th. Thank you for your participation. I wish we had the budget to pay all of you for your time as you certainly deserve it. Sincerely, Amy Marisa (representative of the Dave Nee Foundation)

Wow, great stuff everyone! Sorry for the lack of comments in the past 24 hours. Nohting to do with your work, just it was Father's Day and I was away. I think the quality and diversity of all these idas is fantastic and I thank you so much for all your input. We will begin deliberations today and will contact designers whose work we want to discuss further by end of day Wednesday. Thanks again! You guys are all amazing!

It must have to do with their upgrading the site to a larger server today. I'm going to try again later. I tried a gif instead of a jpeg and that doesn't make any difference either.

Really having trouble to upload the design. This is the first time for me to visit this website, can anyone tell me what's the problem?

Hi Designers, Our board memebers needed a bit more time. So we will probably not announce the winner until late Saturday. The winner will probably need to do a few more tweaks for us on the final design - hopefully that's cool. Just don't want to waste more people's time if you do not end up winning. Thanks again for your time! Sincerely, Amy

Designers, Thank you a million times over for all your hard work and submissions. We have narrrowed it down to a few logos and will select a winner by the end of the week for sure if not sooner). Please do not submit any more new logos as we will not be able to consider them for our logo and we do not want anyone to waste their time. Thanks again, Amy
