Project Deadline Extended Reason: Still looking for the right design. Hoping that an increase in the winning offer will lead to more submissions. Added Monday, October 19, 2015

Project Deadline Extended Reason: We've received some very interesting designs. Some of which have potential. But we still have not found the right one. We're hoping to see a design that's not too busy, looks professional, incorporates our desired color scheme (see brief) and stays true to the idea of symmetry (i.e. a symmetrical design). Based on the teams reactions to designs submitted so far, the ones that have received the more favorable comments have included : sans-serif fonts of medium-slight heavy weight; with slightly rounded edges to the font like Century Gothic or Trebuchet (as opposed to Arial or Helvetica); logos that have incorporated somewhat circular shapes or curves OR logos that are somewhat abstract variations of an S; the icon is either centered above Symmetry or it encompasses the word Symmetry;There's complete flexibility when it comes to using uppercase, lowercase or a mix of cases. Please stay away from using non-symmetrical shapes; Serif fonts; Thin fonts; Colors other than the ones listed in the brief; Looking forward to seeing additional submissions.

Project Deadline Extended Reason: Although there have been some designs that were interesting, we still have not found the design that really speaks to us. We are several weeks past our desired deadline and are now running out of time. A decision has to be made next week. I can not stress enough that designs that do not adhere to the details requested in the project brief will not be considered. So follow the desired color scheme. Purple is the primary color. White, black or gray are permissible. Use a sans serif font. normal to medium weight. Stay away from italicized, cartoonish, angular, square-ish fonts. I would suggest using all lower or upper case, as opposed to mixed cases. I am completely open to normal or wider than normal spacing between the letters, but I do not like condensed spacing. If you submit a design that includes an icon, it should be symmetrical. If the design includes an icon centered above the text, then I suggest including another version with the icon to the left or right of the text. Feel free to try other placements. While i've requested a design that incorporates an icon and text, I am open to creative ideas that stay true to the essence of the word 'symmetry'. There have been several designs that have included an iconized 'S'. Those have been interesting and received positive feedback. Another approach that has garnered some positive feedback were icons that were somewhat abstract representations of a figure or body. Lastly, designs that were of interlocking lines or shapes have also gotten good ratings when i poll them. Added Friday, November 13, 2015
