Updates

I would like to send a huge thank you to all those designers who have already submitted ideas.

After some research and decisions, I’ve decided not to include the pile of rocks in the logo. I like the logos that have some form of a compass or directional circle, a pebble and stars.

Looking forward to seeing your designs.

Also, please know that there are so many designs I won’t be able to give feedback for all of them. Each design is very well done. Thank you for your time and participation in this project.

Thank you for all these awesome designs! They are wonderful.

I'd like to see some designs that also has the words "Better Than Yesterday" in the design in addition to North Star Pebble. If it doesn't fit your design, no need to add these words.

Many thanks for participating in this project! I appreciate all of your efforts and understand it takes time to make such wonderful art. Have a wonderful day!

Also, as a heads up, I'm looking for a simple design that will fit well in both a business card (plain square space) and in a circular image space such as the profile images here on Design Crowd.

I appreciate all your efforts so much! I'm so excited to get to work with you.

I updated the brief and changed the Nice to have area. Sorry for changing things on the fly. I'm learning.

Eliminations have begun. If you have a design that was eliminated and I did not give you feedback, here's general feedback that may apply to your submission.

* Designs that included the word "North" by itself or in a color of its own without the word "Star" were eliminated. North Star is the entire phrase. I'd like to keep those words together.
* Most designs with multiple pebbles/rocks were eliminated. Although I like the idea of including a cairn, I want to be sensitive to the cultural history this may have. As it is controversial, I'd rather not include it. I kept designs which had a single pebble or pebbles that were not piled.
* Some with compass / directional circles around the outside were eliminated. The compass / directional arrows pointing out reminded me of spikes on a tire. Not the look or feel I'm going for.

Please feel free to submit new designs if your designs were eliminated. Please note that I have received over 400 designs and already have almost 100 that will be going to the next round.

Thank you for your creativity and participation in this project.
