Hi everyone,

We're desperately looking for some graphics Gods/Goddesses that can help us create a logo and some other bits and pieces for the website.

At the moment we're borrowing a logo and we really need to have something of our own once we become a Non-Profit Organisation.

We'll be discussing ideas at the Hangout tonight, as to what it should look like, but if you have any ideas beforehand then please let us know below. Also, if you can do some crazy graphics work then please mention your skills below. Although I hate saying no we are going to have to be very picky with how it looks, as it will be the main thing people see when they find MiLO. Have a look at some other logos for inspiration:
www.mind.org.uk/
www.sane.org.uk/
www.time-to-change.org.uk/

They're very clean cut and professional, which is what we need. Once we've got our ideas together I'll update this post and perhaps we could have everyone interested send in their ideas and a vote at the end. What do you think?

Thanks a lot

Bex x

Hey folks, so this morning I had some time and came up with some quick Logo ideas.
I missed the hangout so I'm not sure what was said regarding the logo, what ideas there were, or what colour schemes were wanted etc.
These are just rough ideas, I wouldn't use quite those fonts in some iterations, but was just on the laptop, sans mouse and brainstorming.
Any feedback/crit would be good.

- or if they're all useless then that's cool too and I can work on more stuff later:)

(if you get what I mean?)

well, so it's usable for a variety of formats, in the end it will need to be a vector format so something like illustrator/inkscape.

but to start, you could go as basic as MS paint, GIMP (like photoshop but free), Splashup (simple webbased image editor) or pixlr (slightly more powerful web based)

or if you would like, you can scan in the paper ones and I can try make them up into images/vectors for you.
