Brief Summary

Our company is focused on delivering cutting edge continuing education to health care professionals. We are interested in a very fresh, modern, edgy look to our logo. We have decided on the name Knowledge seminars as a play on the word "knowledge" and "edge - as in cutting edge"...We are interested in a simple design with few colors. Thank you in advance for all of your creativity!

    Well, We wanted to say thank you all very much for your creativity. We really appreciate all of your efforts. As you know, finding a logo is a pretty important part of a business plan and as of yet we still have not found what we are looking for. We have decided to stop pursuing the logo here at 99designs for now. Perhaps with more deliberation on our end, we can better define exactly what we are looking for - but for now, we don't want to waste any more of your time. We regret that we were unable to find a winning logo for our company. We wish all of you the best in the future - you are all very talented.
    best,
    sheryl and the Knowledge Team

    to the CH...you should seriously consider either a logo related to health care or something in the tagline that does the same...most of the designs here do not nor do your specs...just fyi...good luck

    I didn't mean to cause such a fuss about this. It is just disappointing that the designers can spend lots of time coming up with ideas and working on them, to only find that the contest has ended with no winner and no explanation. I feel that others should know that they could possibly be wasting valuable time. (I have an 8 month old who needs lots of attention!) I do designs because I love it and I chose a career in this field. When I see a contest has been won because the designer had a great idea, it is not as disappointing as an abandoned contest.

    However, I do not wish to submit another entry at this time. There are lots of great designs to choose from at this point. So good luck to all, and I do believe that Sheryl will choose a winner in this contest.

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for the comments. Actually, the last contest was for the logo as well. We did not find a logo that fit perfectly, however, we did not borrow from Shannon's idea. Actually, another person sent a private email using exactly the word Knowledge with the L dividing the letters, however, we are still in need of the logo. While we loved Shannon's idea, the website (Leading Edge-ucation)was already taken and we needed to have the .com associated with the name. We love the idea of Leading Edge(ucation). Furthermore, prior to ever putting this contest together- we came up with many ideas ourselves- many of which are very similar to the ones developed here such as CE2 or 2CE etc. So I apologize if it appears that we are not giving Shannon her fair shot, that is not our intention. In the original description we specifically used "cutting edge" because we wanted to use that word or words similar to it. Thank you for continuing to keep everything above board with this contest and we assure you, should we decide on a logo from this group- we will most assuredly name a winner. We are very hopeful that we will find one here! Respectfully, sheryl

    Yeah, seems a bit unfair to have held a naming contest without announcing a winner and borrowing the "EDGE" idea from Shannon's design without any rewards. Not cool...
