Updates

Hi Designers, Please keep in mind the requirement that the logo mark must basically match the elements in the current logo. It CANNOT be a large departure from the design, because the current logo will stay on the hospital signs for a long time. We want to see a more refined, beautiful, professional looking version of the current logo. But, not a major departure in the elements of the logo. Please see additional logo-shape.jpg file uploaded today.

Attention all designers -- Please make sure you read the brief and the updates... The designs MUST MUST MUST include -- a mountain swoosh, 2 "sunrise" curves, AND NO OTHER THINGS. No pointy sunrays, no birds fluttering. No clouds. No sheep in a meadow. No mountains shaped like breasts. No pictures of Jesus' face in the side of the mountain. JUST ONE (1) mountain SWOOSH, and 2 sunrise curves. We know that doesn't allow you much room for creativity... we wish we could let you do more to change the logo, but we have to honor the request of the hospital, which is that they will not have to spend thousands of dollars on new signs, and new carpets. Instead, they want to spend their money on keeping people breathing. SO!! Let's all just make a logo that sort of looks like the old logo, but BETTER. You are great designers. You can do it !!

Regarding the shape of the "curves" -- What we DON'T like about the current logo is that the curves look like bended pieces of paper. They have weird tips to the lines, that seem to have been drawn with a caligraphy pen. That seems arbitrary and awkward, and not very "clean" or "elegant." They just look kind of haphazard and accidental. SO! When you make your designs, we would love it if your curves were more beautiful. What does that mean to us? 1. Get rid of those weird chopped-off ends, first of all. 2. Try to make the slopes of the curves echo each other. Everything should hold together and seem intentional.
