Several principles in the selection of logo design

"translator's words" as a non-profit to prevent youth suicide, Five Alive wants to have a unique logo to complement the agency's propaganda. They decided to choose the logo on the website through the contest method, this article is the customer to this design project review. But the mainstream design community has been sceptical about the way the logo is designed through the popular race.

I have recently been involved in a non-profit organization that aims to prevent teenage suicides, called Five Alive. Our dream is very big, but it needs a sign of success to attract people's attention, the dream can be realized. But we do not have funds, can not afford to design companies to help us design logo, so we sent the request to the SitePoint website, hoping to help.

SitePoint website allows customers to send design requirements online, can be logo, Flash animation, website, or other types of design requirements. The designers can submit their work to the customer's request to bid, the winners receive the corresponding remuneration. In fact, for a design project only one person will be paid, other people's efforts and effort are not compensated, if not for non-profit organization design, I will not do this job.

I participated in the logo design of the review, from which also learned a lot. In this process, you need to give feedback to the designers and improve their design until you finally choose a logo as our organization from hundreds of designs.

Five point suggestion

First of all, let me introduce you to this design project, when it comes to suicide prevention, many people may have no specific concept, we have first aid training, traffic safety training, drowning aid training, but there's nothing to teach teenagers how to prevent suicide, which is the third biggest cause of death among young people between the ages of 15 and 24. The aim of Five Alive is to teach young people that if they find their friends suicidal tendencies, they can take the following five measures:

1. Take it seriously.
2. Know how to identify suicidal tendencies
3. It can't be classified.
4. Know where to get the support
5. Quick action

Design Requirements

Five Alive hope that through different media forms to promote the organization, will be the organization of the logo applied to the website, t-shirt, awning, banner or even bumper, in order to achieve this goal, we have set up such a request on the SitePoint website.

Design requirements: Logo-Five Alive youth suicide prevention and vigilance activities.

The nationwide campaign aims to teach all teenagers and college students to be wary of suicidal tendencies around them.

Summary: Need a modern youth-appropriate logo, need vector graphics, can be widely used with Web sites, buttons, bumpers, t-shirts, wrist bands and other places.

Description: Every 100 minutes a teenager in the United States loses his life because of suicide. As a non-profit private sponsorship organization, we hope to minimize the incidence of teenage suicides through a nationwide adolescent alert.

The logo needs to be eye-catching, motivational, and guided to attract young people aged 14-24. Logo needs to include Five Alive organization name and URL. You can ask the young people around you to see what their preferences are.

We want the logo to link the site to other promotional methods, which is a very important goal.
