The City of Forest Hill Logo
For those of you that may know, I "entered" the Forest Hill City Logo contest. It was only open to city employees so Jackie told mom that if I designed something, she would enter it as hers and give me the prize if it won. I submitted one to her and lo and behold, it was the inspiration for their final design and it won! They emailed mom the final logo after the unveiling at city council so I am placing it here for all of you to see. The first is my original design. Nice, clean, cute illustration. The second is their interpretation. A little loud, messy and somewhat confusing (is that a tree? a leaf? a snake?). I obviously like my original better (though Melinda will probably like theirs better), so let me know what you all think! I can't complain though. The prize is a $150 American Express gift card! Ben will finally get a new car seat!
What!? I can't believe you said that, Missy! I like a lot of stuff that you do! I'm also VERY offended that you would think that I would like their ugly logo better! Okay, it's not ugly, it's just not very cool. I'm reminded of the early 90's for some reason. Yours was definitely better. Congratulations on winning, although mom told me weeks ago that you would win!
I think it's a snake, moving on top of a leaf, with a twig on the side.
OR...
A snake having babies.
Yep. Congrats on the logo (and I agree that yours is way nicer and cleaner).
I only said that because you said Ambyr's photo was better than mine. I was just kidding!!
Ha! Snakes having babies. I just noticed that. Too funny!
Missy, your's is clearly better. I can't believed they changed it so much and for what, to incorporate a funky leaf.
Theirs is a lot more "commercial" than yours is... I don't understand how your design won when it's really nothing like the finished product. Yours is much better. But hey, you got $$$ so congratulations!
