Contest Brief

Our flagship product is GroupMinder, a group travel software. We will be coming out with a simplified version of this software and will call it GroupMinder Express. We need a logo that plays off of the original. GroupMinder Express is a quick and easy application and the logo should help convey that idea.

Since GroupMinder Express will be used by travel agents on their computer "dashboards", it might be a good idea to use the dashboard as a theme in creating the spin-off logo. However, we are open to new ideas.

The new logo should be a recognizable version of the original and must include -- the word GroupMinder, the stylized "people", and the swoosh. Please note, however, that it is ok for these elements to be modified creatively to convey the new idea of Express.

The word EXPRESS must be added. We are open to different ways to present the word (does not need to be only capital letters) in relation to the rest of the graphics.

The colors must remain the same as the original.

    Finally, bad logo won, or I think not designer mistake it is the logo must be in years 1830-1945. Sorry but this my personal opinion, change your logo design... good luck.

    I liked your designs a lot and appreciate your effort in the contest. In fact, after the contest, I intended to contact you about doing further work on your logo on an hourly basis, so we would have a great alternative. However, the rude attitude you expressed in your message makes that impossible. It is unfortunate you chose to express yourself in this immature and unprofessional manner. Perhaps next time, you should think more about the negative effect your words might create and the work you will lose because of your sarcastic and aggressive attitude.

    Please keep the words GROUP and MINDER the same as the original logo. As such GROUP should be bold and blue. MINDER should NOT be bold and should be in orange. Per my previous messages on this board, this design is a spin-off from the original logo. It should be immediately clear to the viewer that GroupMinder EXPRESS is the same "brand" as the original. The "express" version of the software is a stripped down code to allow quick, easy use of the group travel software, as opposed to the original, which is a comprehensive management and planning tool.

    Wow, whats with all the copy cat designs coming right after I design them? This is not cool I spend many hours working out my designs and you guys come and rip off my designs and put something together in minutes based on my ideas, That really is low and cheap, wish Freelancer would do something on people ripping others off!

    This is group travel software that makes arrangements for complete travel packages, not just air. Therefore designs showing an airplane are inaccurate. The focus is on keeping the essence of the original logo while adding EXPRESS in an interesting and noticeable way.

      instead of just rejecting the design, could you please give me some direction or some advice...or your opinion of what you disliked about my design (#83) so I can make some improvements. I see many others with planes and they are still short-listed.

    Take a look at SirCreative's "E" in Express. I like the way he made some action marks part of the letter to suggest movement. Others can play off of this and see what you come up with.

      With all due respect, isn't it unfair to tell others use my idea of the "winged" express? It's my idea and you should tell ME how to improve on MY DESIGN..not give the other freelancers the freedom TO USE MY DESIGN. As I have observed, no one else (before and after i submitted) utilized the said design and i see it as my edge for this project. If you tell them to utilize it too, then it would be very much unfair for me.

      Oh, I see your point. Ok, no problem. But just so you know, noone did a variation that I liked anyway. Please do keep trying. I really value your ideas and am still open to options. It seems difficult to put an emphasis on the "express" part of the GroupMinder spin-off product. I really want that to jump out at the viewer. I will look for your further ideas and apologize for any offence. Kind regards.

    Please put an emphasis on the "express" aspect of the image. Also, include enough of the elements of the original logo that you can easily tell that the two products are related. The FONT for GroupMinder should remain the same as the original. It is a good idea to include the swoosh or a variation of it.

    Someone also please try a version that calls to mind the idea of a "dashboard", perhaps curving the word GroupMinder slightly along with other subtle changes to invoke that image. This is software for the group travel industry and the Express version has been designed to make quick work of creating and managing group travel events. Hence, the dashboard idea: take control of the software and get it done efficiently. That's the idea that the logo should convey.

    Do not include the tagline "making group travel easy" in the spin-off logo. ADD THE WORD "EXPRESS" to the new logo in some original way. It can be in replacement of the existing tagline or can be incorporated some other place in the design. Also, please make the spin-off enough like the original GroupMinder logo that a person would immediately associate the two logos. The spin-off should be a variation of the original, not totally different.
