It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs

The Council of the European Union started a contest for a new logo. Good. Unfortunately most designers cannot participate, because the barrier in terms of revenue and number of large-scale projects is really high (s.a. http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/2172150/uca069-13-simplified-contest-notice-19.07.2013.pdf). Not so good.

We suggested them to crowdsource the logo design and let everyone participate. However they went on with their procedure. That´s why we decided to start our own contest and invite the Brandsupply designer community to send in their creative logo proposals!

We cannot guarantee that the winning logo will be used by the Council. We initialize it to show that crowdsourcing designers can do at least as well as the big agencies. Maybe better. We will make sure that the contest and all the designs gets media attention. Even more so the winner. So take your chance to earn some more fame!

Please note: This is not the official contest of the European Council, but a contest run by Brandsupply.

Company description

“The Council of the European Union (sometimes just called the Council) is the third of the seven institutions of the European Union (EU).” Says Wikipedia. And they are usually right. Of course much more useful information and also their current logo can be found there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_European_Union

note: The French and German translations of the briefing can be found in the attachemnts!

Dear,

Thank you for your response. I wanted to throw of the classic blue and yellow flag with the stars. Ofcourse this is one of the first things you get in mind when you think of Europe. So that's why I kept the blue and yellow (in, in mine opinion, a more modern way.

The stars represent the commission, the parliament and , ofcourse the yellow one, the council. This is because the primary purpose of the council is to act as one of the two chambers of the EU's legislative branche. The other one is the parliament. The commission as the head of those two.

Like I said I didn't want the typical 12 stars so I narrowd it down to this.

Kind regards,

Joel
