Needed: Update on Children's Ministry logo *Project Over*

[Kidz Konnection]

(Admin code added by Palmer - 256035A)

Hello - I am new to this but have seen some of the work done and VERY impressed.

I am minister of children and families at College Park Baptist, Rock Hill SC and I am in need of someone to look at existing logo and make it look professional.

I am attaching the logo in jpg format. I would like it to remain with the words "Kidz Konnection" and "Konnecting kids to God" although I don't like the font for the Konnecting Kids to God and would also inquire about someone dressing it up in a box or some sortof effect. I like the font for Kidz Konnection but would like to see it with a different effect than just blue color. I would like to continue with the bright blue unless someone sees it differently.

I have put in $30 amount on this - I realize it's not much and I appreciate any help someone can give me.

I am not familiar with formats but I would like to use this logo for tshirts and promotional and newsletters communications.

I would like to have this available to use by May 1st.

Thanks again for any help you can provide.

God Bless,

Sam Williams

Here's a quick one from MOZ

Hey MOZ... I thought I was quick!!! ;) :lol:

[Kidz Konnection]

Thanks for the fast responses!

I like the two different ideas - I would like to stay with the font style for words "Kidz Konnection". Jason -yours is close but not quite what I was looking for.

I would also like to see the tag "Konnecting kids to God" in a box or in a different way that is tied to the Kidz Konnection.

I appreciate your help and look forward to seeing more. Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks, Sam

Hi, here's my shot at it:

[Kidz Konnection]

Hi all,

Thanks for the quick replies again.

MOZ - I didn't mean to leave your entry out earlier. I like the format with the logo spacing. Can you change it to a different font? I would like to stay with a font similiar to the one we have now.

Beth - I like the different look and the bold line behind the text. Can I see the Kidz Konnection in a bright color?

Extra thoughts: we would like to have shirts printed in a bright color and want it to create an effect that catches everyone's attention. I believe the kids like the brighter colors - and it makes them stand out.

I want a logo that kids will take pride in and be proud of - I debated using this site but I am very impressed with the work so far. God has blessed each of you with creative talents. I look forward to seeing others submit ideas also. Thanks!

If this one doesn't work, I don't know what will!??!?!?! ;) :lol:

[Kidz Konnection]

Jason,

I like it - it does work! :)

I like the color of the Kidz Konnection - the bright blue, that is the color I am looking for in the logo. Can you "thicken"(?) the words a little.

The spot design is great - can I see it in other bright colors.

One last thing - and this is my fault - can you show the tag line as "konnecting kids to God"? I capitalized it in error.

Everyone - thanks for the work so far - bring on the ideas!

Changes made with color variation and thickness of text.

[Kidz Konnection]

Jason,

:tup:

I would use modern lingo - but the kids laugh when I try!

Save the logo for now! I like the thickness and the effect of Kidz Konnection text.

I want to wait and see if anyone else is interested - I apologize for the low fee. I know it is not what each of you would normally charge. God Bless!

Jason, thanks again for helping me with your ideas - I will continue to look here and hope to make a decision by the end of the week. If anyone else has ideas please let me know if this timetable is not agreeable.

Thanks,

Sam Williams

Jason, thanks again for helping me with your ideas
You're welcome.

Anything to help kids. :tup:

Hi Sam, here's mine with the revisions you suggested. Thanks!

[Kidz Konnection]

Beth,

Thanks for your updates. If you have time, can you try the Kidz Konnection in a bright blue color with a green or yellow box behind it. I like the bottom logo better.

Jason,

One question - the tag line "konnecting kids to God". In your opinion is it possible to run this tag in white with it outlined in black? Or would this cause the tag line to be illegible? If you have time to answer I would appreciate it.

Anyone else interested in joining this contest ? I need to know - otherwise I will take the two designs I have at end of week and decide. I would prefer to move on this quicker than I thought.

Thanks - God Bless,

Sam

No it would look ok other than it would take away from the colorful-ness (design language you know ;) ).
If my design wins, we can figure something out to make it jump out a little more.

One more from MOZ

Note the T is now a cross :tup:

Hi Sam, let me know what you think of this, and I added a few extra background box colors just for kicks.

[Kidz Konnection]

Thanks Beth and MOZ,

Beth - I like the blue color better. Thanks for showing me the different colors to run behind it.

MOZ - that is a cool logo. I DO like the symbolism of the T. Thanks!

I will make a decision on which one tomorrow, unless I hear from anyone else. I am pleased with the three designers to choose from now. You haven't let me down at all.

Talk to you soon.

Sam

[Kidz Konnection]

Good morning to all.

I would like to go ahead and name the winner - many thanks to each of you for your work.

The person I chose is Jason, of blackspotdesigns.

Jason, there are one or two revisions I would like to see done. If you can remove the dots before tag "konnecting kids to God" - and then what ideas do you have to make the tag line stand out more?

MOZ and Beth, thanks for your ideas and input. I hate I had to choose just one idea. May God bless your work!

Jason, I look forward to talking to you soon. I guess everything stays here or can someone let me know. Please pay Jason - and again THANKS!

The kids and my leaders will enjoy this when I reveal it to them in May.

God Bless,

Sam Williams

[Just J]

Thanks for choosing my design Sam.
I will get to the changes ASAP and post them for you to see. I have in mind what will make the words stand out more.

MOZ and Bethie... :tup:

[Just J]

Any better?

*EDIT
I've already revised it twice in this post, LOL

[Kidz Konnection]

Jason,

I like it :) - one last thing and I will leave you to your other jobs.

The yellow "spot" - at the top of it it appears it is faded. Can I see what it would look like standard all the way around?

That is all - let me know if you have other thoughts.

Thanks, Sam

[Just J]

You got it...
I love doing graphics like this but my computer doesn't!!! :lol:

EDIT
BTW, don't worry about my other jobs... I'm here til we are done and you have what you want.

[Kidz Konnection]

Jason,

:tup:

This is fine - I guess I need the regular file formats. I need the logo for tshirts real soon and also for future communications (newsletters, fliers) and our webpage.

Thanks for all your help - I will try and post a picture of our children in their thsirts as soon as we complete them and round up the kids - they're hard to keep still sometimes!

God Bless,
