The week so far... many highs and lows but we are hoping that it will stay high from now on! After the meeting on Monday, the trustees took forever to go through the approvals process for our logo, this was complicated by the fact that another person had also presented logo concepts to the centre. A couple of days later and still no definite answer, then finally on Thursday we receive news that the other person's logo was chosen! Needless to say we were all quite shocked and a little bit upset. As the process had been taking so long we had started on website design, but now we would have to start all over to fit in with a new logo.
To cut a long story short, there had been MAJOR miscommunication within the staff at the centre, and the wrong message got relayed to us: The trustees loved our logo, they simply wanted a fuller-figured woman in there somewhere. So we lost quite a few days waiting for approval, and we went through one day of complete confusion, but from today onwards we will focus on the task and hopefully get it all done on time.
So to recap: Logo approved, website designs almost ready to be sent off for approval (hopefully that won't take too long), all content from current site has been migrated to new CMS. Tonight we are starting on the badge and doing more research on the forum, so that tomorrow we can deliver to you a fresh look at our brief.
This is the final graphic for our logo. Unfortunately Blogger keeps inverting the colours (it is normally cream and burgundy) but I'm sure you get the message :)
It's Miles' design and he is quite proud of it. It basically encompasses all that the North Shore Women's Centre is about: things like diversity, empowerment, support, teamwork, etc. while at the same time bringing a fresh, modern look to the centre's image.
