oh jeez, we really need a logo

[Joshua Vial]

I see that the get real folk are using my portrait as a place holder for the no plastic bags logo. - http://www.getreal.org.nz

anyone with design skills please help - logo needed urgently now.

Sorry I'm not a designer, but maybe you could send an email out to all members asking for logo submissions and we could have a quick vote?

[Joshua Vial]

Hopefully Rob will find some time this week to work on a logo but any submissions are welcome.

Ok I said I'm not a designer but I'm having a go at making a logo anyway. I'm doing okay so far!

Ok I said I'm not a designer but I'm giving it a go. How hard can it be? It seems to be looking good so far!

I've done a blog on a possible logo idea I had, if you could critique that'd be grand.. Not sure how to link to it on this comment... You'll have to hunt for it..

[Joshua Vial]

blog post looked interesting though with foodstuffs coming on board with a charge I think the push will be over before we need it so i'd hold fire for now.

hopefully we'll be celebrating with a big party when progressive follow suit and we can move on to a new campaign.

What you mean the complete abolition of plastic bags? ;0)

Hi Guys,
Finally here are some logo designs/ideas for you guys to check out. Its been ages and im sooo sorry about that but i have been a bit crook lately (don't wont to bore you with the details) but finally have found sometime and head space to get some ideas out onto pixels.

Here is the series of slides that shows a progression of a concept for the ning site, logo and brand development. Its a start and by no means the final version of things. All discussion, feedback and advice welcome.

Some thoughts and rants on where this has come from: wanting to keep it fresh and bright, playful yet serious, organic yet firm, committed to the long game of complete removal of plastic bags from NZ supermarkets and a major reduction in the amount of packagaing used throughout the country.

Educating people about the benefits of not using plastic plus how to reduce there use.

I think that the current levy is a huge win for the campaign and congrats to all the major effort put in by Get Real, Josh and many others to make it come about. This is just the beginning so i think that the brand and design of this campaign (NPBNZ) has to be able to grow and evolve. Always in keeping in site the end goal of effecting change.

Rant over.

Cheers,

Rob

Nice work Rob!

I like the 'imagine the difference' tagline - the banner in the npb5 looks great to me.

re npb3 I think my favourite is the first on the left with the yellow tagline and white text.

i don't have much of an opinion about the fonts and am happy with the one you have chosen.

what does everyone else think?

[Rob Edward]

Yup I agree with your appraisal Joshua..
