Contest Brief

Hi there, we are hosting a contest because we want you to have fun with this project! Our criteria is simple -- we want a *whimsical and *creative logo that is also clean and modern, like a good Google Doodle!

PlayThrive is an educational non-profit that believes children learn best when they have fun, are free to choose to when/what/how to learn, and are relaxed in a safe environment with good friends and supportive teachers.

See attached file for a logo design we like "PlayThrive.JPG". You are welcome to draw up something completely different, improvise along this concept, or adapt this particular design to your idea of perfection. Here are some design details:
- PlayThrive is one word (capital P and T)
- Single, solid color please, so it can go onto a variety of backgrounds. See attached flyer for an example of background graphic with intended PlayThrive logo in white.
- Color palette: please use bright hues found in nature
- The background of the logos must be transparent. The .svg (and .ai or .psd if applicable) files with a .png sample are the preferred file formats in this contest. - See photos of our organization for inspiration: https://www.facebook.com/PlayThrive/photos
- High resolution/quality source files will be requested when a winner is chosen.

Business Card --
Submitting only the logo is a great start, business card can be later. A simple design is good enough. But by all means you're welcome to propose any awesome ideas that pop up!

We look forward to see your designs!
*Please note: The contest is set for 7 days but we will extend it as needed and end it as soon as we get a design that we like so please submit your entries as early as you can. Thanks and good luck!

Updates on 06/16/16 -- Here are some items to provide inspiration. They are meant for inspiration, but not necessarily meant to be all represented in the logo pictorially. Please find ways to express the spirit of these objects/activities/concepts when possible. (We're not looking for every letter to be an object.)
Paper Airplane
Ball
Tree
Flower
Dancing
Paintbrush (or other art items)
Insect (not ladybug)
Magnifying lens
Music
Friendship (Please see the new attachment "IMG_4781.JPG" for examples on interaction among friends)

Or if you think of other items that goes along the theme of nature, friendship, and art can do too! Have fun!!

Here is our preliminary website https://playthrive.wordpress.com/. The color palette is not fixed and will likely be changed depending upon the logo. The logo does not have to match the website design. However the logo, like the website, should communicate not only our playful theme, but also our professionalism and warmth.

Employer Feedback

“MyPrints was one of the first to understand what we were asking for in the design brief. The logo created was simple and of a style that took our intial draft to the next level. Other less original entries either only slightly tweaked our initial draft or were of an entirely different aesthetic. MyPrints was also extremely prompt in delivering new versions based on our feedback. ”

Thank you for being up front about the possibility of closing early whenever you feel like it. Makes my decision as a person considering undertaking work for you out of my own pocket very, very simple.
