I'm gonna pretend to be a newbie with zero contest entries....

If anyone wants to play around with logos.....I am working on creating a logo for our employees association where I work.
Design will be one color or Black and White
Will be used on letterhead as well as T-shirts, and will include either the words Jefferson County Employees Association or JCEA somewhere in the design.....

I have done about 15 options myself so far, but I'm always open to ideas......
and as you probably guessed, I'm not offering any money

here are a few ideas I was playing with... http://volkswes.com/photos/jcea01.jpg
... I'm by no means a logo designer, so any tips and criticism is always welcome.

The sillhouette face comes from our official county seal/logo.... We call it the county nickel....it doesn't have to be in the design.

Maybe increase the size of the star slightly...or move it over a bit. Really good idea, in my opinion.

Ditto. I wouldn't include the text. Especially if this is going on shirts later on.

The 4th one down was my favorite. As for others, I don't see the nickel as being a "C".... it looks more like an "O" or lower case "e". And placing the Nickel in the middle makes it look like you've added an "O" to the acranym.

That's a very good point that I didn't notice before. This does tend to make the 4th one the better option.

However it all depends on how recognizable that "coin" logo is in the County. The logo for the county I work for is very well known. Actually we have two. One for the seal, letterhead, etc. and one for the tourism campaign.

That second logo caused quite a stink when it was being developed. It says "Good Times Are Carved in Wood" (Wood County, get it). Anyway people thought that was going to be the new official logo for the county. So some thought it wasn't appropriate to have a summons or other bad news to have that saying on it. Laughing

Here is another variation I did using the bottom one.

....and here is a variation on the 2nd one

http://volkswes.com/photos/jcea03.jpg

and yes the Nickel is highly recognized here.........it is on all of the official letterhead, and is on all of the county's vehicles and equipment.
