To guide the designers in the right direction from the start, please complete the following questionnaire and copy and paste it in the first message of your logo project:

Design Outpost Creative Brief Worksheet

Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Wolfe Orthodontics

What type of product or service do you offer?
Braces and Invisalign for children, adolescents, and adults

How long have you been in business?
Opening my first practice

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
I want a fun, modern logo that portrays the feeling of my practice. I want the logo to translate this feeling to print advertising, signage, and stationery

What are your long term goals?
To be recognized as a successful practitioner that uses the latest techniques and gives personalized attention to all patients.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer? Feb. 26, but can be moved up if necessary

Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience
Children, adolescents and adults (mostly mothers age 30-50)
Who would you like to add to your audience?

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?
Modern, but fun and "natural" feeling. I would like some sort of imagery of a Wolf howling at the moon. I think it would be fun if the moon had a smile with braces or some sort of imagery of braces in it/around it.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Blues, Greens, and Brown. I would like brighter shades with the blues and greens.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
The Wolf, moon, and braces of course
Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
That we are a cutting-edge facility that is fun! but still a relaxing place to be!

What is your tagline or slogan?
Don't have one

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?

Where will your new logo be used?
Print advertising, business cards, letterhead, signage

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
Other orthodontists. Their logos are the typical tooth with brackets or their name with a series of braces running through it. I want my logo to clearly demonstrate an orthodontic office, but with a unique design that will make me memorable.

List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?
I'm young(er) than some of my competition. I will have the latest in equipment and new techniques at my disposal that I will use to make orthodontics a more enjoyable experience that is appropriate for all ages.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:

Just checking in to see if there were any ideas out there :yes: My "ideas" were just those. The logo doesn't HAVE to have the wolf. I would just like something fun and creative that expresses who I am!

Pracus: I really like the design, especially the rounded corners and the font. I also like the image, but I would like to see something incorporated that indicated the orthodontics aspect of my business.

nutscreative: I think this design is both fun and professional looking. I would like to see some variations of colors of this design. I am looking for colors similar to those in this designhttp://www.designoutpost.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=114514&stc=1&d=1219784031

nhr: I think this design is a little to cartoon-like. I like the text of the black and white version, but I'm not a huge fan of the blue text with the outline. I would also rather see a more traditional wolf image incorporated

Bill: I really like the square shape and the graphics. I love the moon and the wolf! I also like the font. Perhaps we could try it without the stars? (one of my competitors has a "movie star" theme and uses stars in her logo) I would also like to see this design with some shades more like those in the design above.

Bill: I really like the new version without the stars and with the new colors! I'm wondering what it would look like with rounded corners....it's just a little too angular I think. Also, can the brackets be spaced out more in the smile? I like the number, but perhaps they are a little bunched toward the middle...

Pracus: Still not exactly what I was thinking with the orthodontic theme being incorporated into the logo. I really like the graphic and don't necessarily think the braces have to go on the wolf. I was thinking of maybe incorporating the braces more into the wording somehow, if it wouldn't make the logo too busy looking....

Thank you!
Actually I have prepared such version but I was affraid to post it before because I somehow imagined that you want the orthodontic theme attached to the wolf :)

Pracus- I like the new version! Perhaps the teeth on the Wolf are a little sharp...I'm not sure I want to intimidate my patients :D Also, mayebe we can play around with the colors a bit. I like the brown, but the current green tones are a little bland to me. I want the logo to be cheerful and fun so maybe some brighter tones would be more appropriate.

nutscreative: I still am very interested in your logo concept. I think maybe the ring around the moon with the bracket looks kind of like a collar. I'm wondering what it would look like with more brackets? or a more off-center bracket? Also, I think the color of orthodontics is a little light. I'm worried it won't show up well on white paper.

bluecherrygraphics: Cute! but I'm not sure this is the concept for me.

nutscreative- I really like versions 2 and 3! I think they are both getting really close to what I had in mind. I prefer the color combination you used in design "a", but I like the font and design of "b" better in both versions. Can we switch the color combos to see what it would look like?

It is down to the last days before my deadline and I want to thank all of the designers who have entered. All the entries were really great and, in fact, we would be happy with any of them!

We have narrowed it down to two designers, bill and nutscreative. There are aspects of both that we just love...We love the detail and "fun" energy of Bill's logo. We love the professional, clean, and artistic nature of nutscreative logo, version 6.

I think I am leaning toward nutscreative logo because of its versatility and that it incorporates all the elements I was seeking.

nutscreative, I love the simplicity and clean lines of version 6. It is very close to how I envisioned my logo. I would like to see one more version if possible just to make sure that this is totally the one. My husband still thinks the brackets look like a collar (although I tend to disagree). I was wondering what the logo would look like with the brackets positioned along the far side of the O (the side of the letter L) kind of like in a crescent moon shape above the Wolf's head? Also, may we see a version with "Sara Wolfe DDS, MSD" incorporated in the text as well? I'm not sure if I want this text in my main logo, but I'd like to see what it would look like for my stationery and website....

Thanks so much to all of the designers for your great ideas and input.

nutscreative. I really like this version! One thing I'm not sure about is the size/prominence of the brackets. Do you think they would be more noticeable if they were a little bigger?

Also, can you do one more version with the letters "LLC" after orthodontics? I am incorporating and I think I have to use LLC in certain situations with advertising.

After much deliberation, we have picked a winner. Thanks for everyone's hard work and great entries!

nutscreative, we like version 6 the best! However, I would like it to say "Sara Wolfe DDS, MSD" underneath as in version 7 and, if at all possible, to have a version that also says Wolfe Orthodontics LLC and Sara Wolfe DDS, MSD as in version 8.

Thanks so much again. I will be looking for the instructions on how to move this thread to completed logos and how to receive the electronic files from you.

Hi, Thank you for choosing my design, please see revised attached. Once you approve on this final version i will prepare the logo package and send you thru your email or private message. :)

wonderful. The final version looks great. One more huge favor... can I also get a version with just the "Wolfe orthodontics" and no name or line underneath? Sorry for asking for so many versions- I just don't know if the files you will be giving me are editable, and if so, if I would be able to figure out how to edit them?
Thanks so much!
Sara
