Describe your company and organization and target audience

Volunteer Manitoba exists to build and strengthen and transform communities through volunteerism. They connect people with volunteer opportunities, by being the leader and support organization between volunteers and needs in the community, promoting volunteerism and providing leadership and counsel in the voluntary sector.

Volunteer Manitoba's goal is to provide information, training and resources on all aspects of the voluntary sector and to build strong communities with working partners including governments, researchers, non-profit/charitable organizations, volunteers, funders, donors, labour and businesses.

The design should have the following

Modern look and feel.

Simple, clean and minimalist seemed better than complex in terms of elements for the logo.

A really popular font suggested was the "Roboto" font, but we are open to additional suggestions.

Consideration for a bold letter V and M with a unique font or graphical style next to the wording Volunteer Manitoba was very popular. The attachment references some examples of this consideration.

We liked the word "Volunteer" being larger and more prominent that the word "Manitoba", consistent with Volunteer Alberta as per attachment.

This logo will be used for

• Online (Website, facebook etc.)
• Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)
• Merchandise (mugs, t-shirts etc.)
• Signs (including shops, billboards etc.)
• Television/screen

Colors to use in the design

There is an interest in up to three colors within the design.

Primary colors would suggest a blue/2nd shade of blue, with a third complimentary, yet subtle color of green or orange, or purple, etc.

Would prefer to not have yellow or red as part of color scheme.

An example of the spectrum of colors under consideration can be found:

Important to note that the logo must be flexible (different versions of the logo) in term of being used in full color, black, white and on various types of backgrounds (light vs dark).
