    A well designed identity system or branding can do a lot more to highlight a charity in a crowded market place than amateurish attempts


    Thanks for the concern. Luckily we've already had a couple of graphic designer entries as well as some great ones from others too. So we're doing well and I thin we've some great ones. The logo will help form the basis for the website and headed apaper and should work very positively.

    I'm a freelance graphics designer and I'm happy to do free work for ANY charity, especially this site as I got over £900 back from my bank. My entry (or entries) will be provided in b/w and 2 colour which is standard when providing samples (as are 3 colour or full colour).

    Good luck to all the entrants!

    Has it occurred to winnertakesall that this competition is entirely in the spirit of the site's aims (moneysaving) PLUS it is a way of being inclusive of all us moneysavers to feel involved in the Charity's launch.

    Bravo Martin - excellent idea!

    Hi folks,

    We have a winner. Thank your for the huge number of replies. It was hotly contested.... and the trustees were far from unananimous as there were so many great entries. In the end we've gone for something very simple and pure (after many discussions)...

    We now have an official charity number and the money sitting in there are are starting to organise.

    Nice logo.

    Who designed it?

    Hi Charlene, the winner isn't necessarily a forumite and I dont have permission to post her name - so I can' say. But she knows she's won :)
