Hi, I was turned on to this site by a friend who very impressed with the results she got to her post.

This competition has a $75 prize. The final design will be chosen from this site. My small company is starting to grow and I am trying to keep up. Due to travel commitments this contest is starting November 2 and ending November 13 at 8am Mountain time. A logo will be chosen at that time. If none are what I am looking for it will be extended while I am away, but I do not believe that will be needed from what I have seen from other contests that I have seen.

I need a new company logo, one that is simple, professional, easily recognizable and one that will provide an identity. The logo will be used in color and black & white. Some green in it would be good and perhaps mountains. We are a wilderness medical education company. It is a side job that has been growing. We are located in Estes Park, Colorado next to Rocky Mountain National Park. We teach wilderness medicine to Search and Rescue groups, Park rangers, rock and ice climbers, cyclists, paddlers, climbing guides and will be starting dive medicine next year. We run classes internationally. Some of our students guide on K2 and Everest. Most students need our courses for their employment and are outdoor professionals.

The company name is Trailmed Wilderness Medicine. I would like to see " Medical training" or "Medical training for outdoor professionals" somewhere in the logo too. Please do not let me curb your creativity though. Let's see what you got.

This logo will be used for all promotions, t-shirts and web site. If this works out I would be willing to pay for design of cards, shirts and other things.


***I am running a seperate contest for a company patch as well for $50.*** Enter both if you wish.


I am looking for a design for a company patch. Preferably round or square. It will be given to students on completion of courses and for all of our instructors. Please use the above information. It should not say 'wilderness medical education' on it though. One idea that I liked was the serpant around the climbing ax in a standard medical configuration.

Please ask questions! I have tried to give as much info as I could think of. I wish I could offer more $, but the winners designs will be used internationally and I am happy to put a small 'logo by...' on the bottom of the website.

Cheers and good luck,

Vern Miller

Well, I hadn't seen yours 'til I finished. I was worried you'd think I ripped it, but I seriously hadn't seen yours until I finished. If you want, I can retract my entry, or just make another one.

Do you like horizontally orientated logos, i mean, like logos strictly made for banners, or would you like something iconic to represent your company without text?

This is looking good. Is there a way to incorporate the 'Medical training for outdoor professionals'?

(Also, to make sure that it is sized right check the spelling of wilderness.)


[size=4Everyone, don't forget we are looking for ideas for a patch logo as well.[size]

Yup my bad, anyways few letters are the smallest problem...

About the 'Medical training' issue, I think that logo consisting of 3 + 2-5 words can be a problem, to much information, difficult for the eye, plus it wont be visible in small sizes.

But If thats your wish I can do it aswell

I looked at it again, you are right. It can always be added where it needs to be.
