Need a logo for youth camp theme

makinprogress412 · #1 07-09-2003, 06:18 PM

(Admin code added by Palmer - P0951155)

Our theme for next summer's youth camp for our church's youth group is THIRSTY derived from the following verse:

"My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God." Psalm 42:2

This camp is put on by a couple of youth pastors who started a non-profit corp. for doing camps and retreats. Our website is www.412students.com

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!
We need it in a week to begin promoting camp for next year.

Thanks,
Dave

FYI--I'm hoping to get something put together for you to look at by the middle of this weekend. You have a great website, by the way. I've never seen one so well developed for a youth ministry. The kiddos must be totally excited to attend the first time (and all subsequent, I'm sure

!

Thank you Julie, I look forward to what you come up with. Oops - I accidentally listed the wrong url. 412students.com is a great site because my partner Michael (a youth pastor in Jacksonville, FL) made it and he is much metter than I. My site is 412student.com and you will agree that it needs a lot of help. I have that project posted as well and have had 1 idea so far. Again, I look forward to what you come up with. The themes of our 3 subsequent camps were as follows: 2001 = Surrounded; 2002 = Broken; 2003 = Changed. If it would help to see those logos, LMK and I will email them to you. Thanks.

David,

I'm sorry, but I don't have anything to post right now. I'm using a dial-up in my home office, and we lost phone service yesterday. Since I can't get into this site unless I drive into town and check it on another computer and I hadn't printed out your requirements, I didn't get anything done with it. I will, however, do my best to get you something after I get back service.

Thanks,

Julie

Thank you very much Julie. I'll wait - I'm sure it will be worth it

Here's the first...possibly to religious, but I was going for a "spirit to quench the thirst" idea--fire away at will!

Julie · #7 07-15-2003, 01:16 PM

oops!

First, let me say thanks for your contributions so far.

Julie - I don't see your first looks as being too religious unless I'm missing something in your symbolism. You are on the right track trying to portray quenching thirst by whom only He can quench - that is our exact theme. We just need to figure out how to do that in a teenage style. I think maybe something with a surfer wave (since most of the kids going to camp will be from Florida) and the fonts need to be more edgier like surfer or skater style.

Dynagirl - thank you too. I kind of like the cartoony look but kind of don't - it doesn't quite portray 'thirst quenching" as more of a raindrop.

To all: I am going to ask Palmer to move this to the logos forum. I just think you guys are too good not to be rewarded with something. Plus I do this camp with another church and we can at least come up with something. Please follow this and keep working on it. Thanks.

Ok, payment has been received. This is now a paid contest.

ElKootcho · #11 07-16-2003, 08:41 PM

How are you going to be using this logo? Any color restrictions?

makinprogress412 · #12 07-16-2003, 08:51 PM

Thank you palmer.

Thank you Elkootcho for the question. bty - you've been rockin' with the designs lately. No mercy on the other designers-eah?

Alright, back to business. Good question. Primary use on T-shirt and print materials like marketing postcards and other printed material. Logo will be planted on the website as well.

412students.com

No color restrictions unless you consider pink a color.

Thanks,
Dave

ElKootcho · #13 07-16-2003, 09:30 PM

what do you think?

Tonya · #14 07-16-2003, 11:36 PM

makinprogress412 · #15 07-18-2003, 06:16 PM

Although, so far I like Elkootcho's the best, from a design standpoint (the look, colors, fonts & feel), I don't think any of these are portraying the theme - "thirsty." The waves look great but they don't convey the message. Let's try moving away from that and see what else we can come up with. Thanks.

I have been approved as an apprentice, so hopefully this works, but here's my first entry!
Any comments would be appreciated!

makinprogress412 · #17 07-21-2003, 06:02 PM

Not quite what we are looking for, but thanks. We are trying to portray something specific, something "thirst quenching". Try to picture whatever you might do on a t-shirt.
Thanks,
David

you're right..it's scary! I have to delete it..NOW!!

A similar entry to my last

makinprogress412 · #22 07-22-2003, 04:45 PM

I appreciate all the tries lately.

Elkoocho - I still like this one the best - it just looks like it belongs on a T-shirt in a surf shop

, though would like to see it a little more edgy for surfer/skater teenager look in the font

l went to gatorade.com powerade.com sprite.com and moutnaindew.com to get some ideas but none of them are all that good either. Mabye something like the powerade "P" except a "T" or the Mountain Dew logo look or feel.

Dynagirl - sorry, not even close. too girly and not edgy enough for teenagers.

try to picture it on a T-shirt.

Taldo - that's scary.

Radical Seed - not bad but don't think it will look well on a T on those colors, plus I don't see the concept of "thirst quenching" whatever that might look like.

Too all, please tell me if this is just too hard a concept to portray and we can go in a different direction. Your feedback is appreciated as well. Thanks,
David

Tonya · #23 07-22-2003, 06:04 PM

Thirsty is a pretty tough concept, but I think we'll get there eventually

Christine · #24 07-22-2003, 06:16 PM

Hi David,

I've been out of town but would like to get in on this... I will try and get something on here for you to look at by Wednesday evening (probably late).

Thanks!

Christine

Christine · #25 07-22-2003, 06:52 PM

Hi David,

Well, inspiration struck and I couldn't wait until tomorrow night. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Regards,
Christine

excitement and thirst for God's word...

makinprogress412 · #29 07-23-2003, 08:14 AM

Taldo-

Not sure about his one for our main logo, but would consider it for a second T-shirt design. I'd like to see the cartoon man more pronounced and I'd like to see it with the scripture verse printed just below the logo that was mentioned in the opening contest description. Include quote and reference in similar font. If it works for that purpose we could declare two winners if we ever get a 'thirsty' logo. I'm sure palmer wouldn't mind another 10%

Radical Seed- would like to see your latest with an edgier font. We like the one with the yellow font (not black), but not font. Can you please picture it on a burnt yellow or orange T-shirt? That would help. Thanks.

Hi, here's my idea.

Thanks
