Thanks guys! Congrats Typecast and Peg770 too. Great work! I haven't been online for a while, and it was a surprise. There were many fantastic entries, and it was great to see our community help out a worthy cause.

Thanks again and Merry Christmas to everyone.

Typecast and peg770 graciously have agreed to allow Breaking the Silence to use their designs, which ended up being finalists when Novastorm's design was selected. Breaking the Silence is interested in using the other two designs for different purposes (such as t-shirts).

Congratulations novastorm, great work and congratulations to "Breaking the silence" for picking what will surely be a logo that will help your organisation immensely.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

I think most of us saw this coming once the design was submitted. Nice Job.

The decision has been made, we decided after a lot of deliberation to go with novastorm! The design we chose is simple, powerful, and also happy and confident. We are delighted with all the effort you all put in, and an extra special mention has to go to the other two designers we had at the top of the list - Typecast and peg770. We wanted to use yours, it was so close, hence the delay in making our choice, and if you would allow us to use your designs for promotional material and t-shirts we would be deeply honoured. Ultimately, the two designs we have put in equal second place were perfect for t-shirts and other uses, but for the actual logo, in the end we just had to go with novastorm as it really just works for us. Although our group is very different to pretty much any other support group we know of in we still need to get a sharp clear message across, and we feel that novastorms design does that very very well.

We feel bad not being able to use all the designs, and we thank you for your efforts. (less)

We are not ignoring you all, we are just working out which to go for! We now have it down to 3 designs, there are 3 of us choosing and we all want a different one! I may be really cheeky and name the other two when we make our decision, as we would like to use them in some context around our organisation - t-shirts, posters etc, we think they will be very powerful designs to help us raise awareness, not everyone will want a t-shirt with the same design (though of course we understand thats not how it works and people may not want to do that). Of course there can only be one winner, but that decision is not therefore easier to make!

You have all done so well, we are overwhelmed at the interest this has received and hope you realise how grateful we are that you took the time to work on a design for us. just because it wasn't for us, it wasn't our style or the right image, that does not mean it was a bad design, you are all very very talented.

I hope this is the start of something great for the crowdSPRING community, I hope the Give Back scheme grows and grows and you can help many more organisations, I will be visiting often and adding my comments to any give back projects!

We will hopefully have made our final decision by Monday, its a really tough choice! (less)

This was truly an inspiring and outstanding effort by everyone. We had hoped that the community would unite and collaborate to get Breaking The Silence a great logo - but you've gone above and beyond our expectations. We are all joining monsterleo's "slow" clap. Wow.

Bravo!

Seriously, everyone here did an outstanding job. A very great gesture to help out this organization. Especially around the holidays here in the US if you celebrate that stuff. Let me be the first one to stand up and start the "slow" clap. Come on guys, the slow clap is on!

Typecast - I love your lost variation with the square - it definitely helps define the profiles a bit more :)

Not long left, any exciting revisions to make me go 'wow' in the closing hours? We have not made a decision, we have 8 designers and 20 designs we are really liking, and several more that are not being ruled out, so if you think you have a last idea its worth putting it into the ring!

I agree with monsterleo, but prefer the blue used in #87. There are many good choices. I hope you have some of the other dads helping you. Best of luck!

I regret never getting around to entering this contest myself, but I've really enjoyed looking at all the wonderful entries everyone else has created! :) And I'm very impressed by all the creativity - especially in coming up with alternatives to the "puzzle piece" theme that so often goes along with autism!

Some of my favorites:
#134 by peg770 (I think it's very unique & memorable - and I love the colors!)
#120 by Typecast (wow - I LOVE this one! I think the t-shirt design on the left works best as the faces are easier to identify)
#117 by Delvas (the slight angles of the words work really well!)
#88 by dsg (I really like the icon you've created)
#82 by monsterleo (I love your typography here and the concept of the open door)
#75 by Delvas (I think this one's my favorite; I love the simplicity- perhaps a different color for the hard would make it more "masculine"?)
#69 by Orbis (I really like the symbol you created - very strong!)
#44 by fredK (love the silhouette you created!)
