Simon_ACTDEC needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 319 designs submitted by 88 freelance designers.
ACTDEC
It's an accrediting body. It stands for "Accreditation Council for TESOL Distance Education Courses". We probably don't want the logo cluttered with the full breakdown of the acronym, but it could include the word "accreditation" if that is visually pleasing in the design.
The target audience is English teacher training providers, and their students, who would require our accreditation services. The feel of the organisation is serious and academic.
Our (new, work in progress) website is: http://actdec.org.uk/
The logo must be capable of fitting in with the purple header background, but consideration must be given to letterheads, certificates and business cards where the background or paper will be white.
The old logo is attached, which is simply arial bold in white on a purple gradient background. It's home-made and not quite sharp or fresh enough for the new Wordpress-based website.
