They are fine keeping the intertwining of the C and L to make a cross, indicating this is a church school, but perhaps an updated, nicer looking version. I am even thinking somehow just using CLS in the "logo" part instead of repeating the wording "Crest Lane".

If you can come up with a new/different way to incorporate "Seventh-Day Adventist School" in the logo, that would be nice. Would also be interested in seeing what "Seventh-Day Adventist Christian School" would look like - if maybe that would fit better into the design (depends on what you do with it). If someone really wanted to add some sort of school graphic in there, I would consider that as well - just not sure what to ask for.

Their website (www.crestlane.org) is mainly blue, with some yellow and green currently on the front page. Perhaps if some of that color could be added in that would be nice as well so it could be added in throughout the site to spice it up a bit. Please be sure the blue at least ties in with the site design.

Instead of repeating the "A Seventh-Day Adventist School" as the tagline, replace that with "Educating for Eternity." Westminster, MD can be left out as well.

They would like to be able to use the logo itself (without the name/tagline) on printed flyers and such. Perhaps even a banner - so a vector image would be great. Please also include any font files used.

Let me know if I left anything out!

I appreciate the patience here - working back and forth between a school board and this forum makes it really hard to stick to a closing date. It's not just me making the decision here!

I will say that it is between mala and jcgonz42.

Thanks for the modifications, mala! At this point, I like the design in #25 better than in #26. The letters are a bit too chunky and "basic" in 26. I also like the side-by-side layout in 25 better. Is there any way to use the CLS from 25 but just "stand it up" a little bit more (not completely) so that it is more clear that it reads CLS?

jcgonz42 - several of the board members really like your design the best - the biggest complaint is that if you take the words off to use the graphic alone on something printed, there is nothing to tie it to the school - like CLS. Does that make sense? If you can come up with some way to change that, I think you might well be in the running.

Thanks everyone for your entries!
