We need a logo for our small business--an assisted living (long term care) home called "Oceanview" in coastal Oregon. The business is called "Oceanview Assisted Living," but we would like the focus of the name part of the logo to be on "Oceanview" with "Assisted Living" to be in a much smaller font. We would like the design element to reflect the "oceanview" setting in some way. We very much appreciate your creative assistance! THANKS.

Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Oceanview Assisted Living

What type of product or service do you offer?
Assisted Living residence/home

How long have you been in business?
11 years

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
It’s not a new name, but we’d like a logo and design that would be attractive and interesting to people who see our name.

What are your long term goals?
We hope to attract new residents to our care facility.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
We would like to have something to take to our printer the week of September 2.

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Usually, 45 to 55 year old women who are daughters of potential residents.

Who would you like to add to your audience?

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
A simple design and font style for our name.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Probably a blue and green palette; our care facility is near the Pacific Ocean.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
No.

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
We’re looking for a very simple design that might be evocative of the ocean.

What is your tagline or slogan?
“Our mission is to create rich living experiences.”

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
Excellent service, care and fulfilling retirement living.

Where will your new logo be used?
Stationery, business cards, marketing collateral, on the bus that transports our residents.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
Our competitor is another assisted living residence owned by a large company (Sunwest). They are good marketers and have an easily recognized logo for all their homes; this is just for one home. We would like a logo that is a more abstract design rather than a specific representation of an object (the moon, clouds) like our competitor’s.

List competitive URLs if possible
http://www.sunwestmanagement.com/choices.php

What sets you apart from your competitors?
We offer a higher level of service.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
Excellence in service to seniors.

Thank you for posting the proposed logo. We like it very much! Would it be possible to make the design a bit more horizontal? Although I really appreciate the vertical aspect as a great design element, it will be hard to fit it on some of the badges and other places we would use it unless the design is more horizontal than vertical. Also, we would like to change the "Oceanview Assisted Living" to "Oceanview Senior Living." THANK YOU, Bernard Wheeler

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like it!
As requested...:)

Alvin,

We have decided to choose your design and I appreciate the changes you made. I have a couple requests--can you give us a couple more font choices? A request from our printer is whether you could have different shades of black/gray in the black and white logo rather than all flat? Finally, would it be possible to make the logo with three rather than 4 colors without ruining your design (to reduce printing costs)? Thank you!

Alvin, I just spoke to the printer again. He said the current 4-color is fine because we are going to print digitally. The gradient shading for the black and white version would still be great. Thanks!

Thank you, Alvin! I received them and have sent them to the printer for their review--I wasn't familiar with which format they may need. Is there anything I need to do to get you paid? We very much appeciate your help and great work,
Bernard
