Design help for a charity

Posted by Warren Beard on February 10, 2011 at 8:47 pm

Hi All

I support a local charity and they have asked if I would redesign their logo as it’s very old and looks a bit dated. I don’t make anything from this or any of the things I give them so would appreciate a little help with some design options as it’s not my strong point.

I have attached a pdf which should import in to your software OK as well as a jpeg for a visual.

I will be trying a few designs but any submissions will be helpful.

cheers

Warren

This one is an extremely rough sketch. Just picked a random font, so could be better. I would have done the stain glass window wider if I did it over. With everything stacked, it seems a bit tall. Colors would need adjusting also. Anyway, just and idea.

Harry that’s "Ace" the new font from Art & Signfonts.com
I wanted my the shadow of my cross to cover the lettering on the bottom part like a blanket but didn’t know how.

I wouldn’t trouble to look any further, the one Jill has done more than makes the grade. I would only alter it by taking the black cross away completely as I feel it makes it look a little Satanic.
