Late last year, I began brainstorming with Jessie Phillips of Jessie Design to create a new logo for The Caregiver’s Voice because the website is also being redesigned (see this coming Wednesday’s post).
Jeniffer Thompson (Monkey C Media), her designer, Julio, and I had jointly created the logo to your left. It was a quick effort and has served us for three years.
Those of you, who read the January issue of The Caregiver’s Voice Newsletter, learned that The Caregiver’s Voice website is being redesigned to be more compatible with the diverse platforms (tablets, smartphones) more of you are using to access our site. With a new website, I wondered about a new logo.
Debbie, a talented member of our community, referred me to her daughter-in-law, Jessie Phillips, who agreed to work with The Caregiver’s Voice to create a new logo that we can use in multiple ways.
Click on TCV-Logo_proofs-v1 for the first version of Jessie’s three proposed TCV logo design concepts (that’s why they’re only black on white) or right click on each image below to enlarge in separate tabs or pages. Once we agree on the design concept, Jessie will add in all the other stuff (color, shading, flourishes) to make the design look better before we come back to you.
Since whatever logo we choose we’ll be using it awhile, I NEED YOUR IMPRESSIONS.
Please let me know which you like best and why. (Your reasons why are most important to us.) Click on my name below to send me an email.
You can also include suggestions because we’re still in the concept phase.

Brenda,
I like the one on the right. It is strong, showing a person as the caregiver that looks strong, because caregivers are the strongest people I know. I like the boldness of the logo, it really stands out.
Thanks for your feedback, Roy, I appreciate it. With your vote we are now exactly even — between the bird and the bold logo.

Hi Brenda, I love birds so the logo with the bird singing is my choice!!
Thank you Melita for going above and beyond with your detailed consideration of the hands vs. voice.
Thank you Julie … so, you’re a bird lover! 🙂
I thought a circle of hands, or figures holding hands, people helping people, is a wonderful idea as we all reach out and hope to make contact with someone out there. It doesn’t tie in with the “voice” aspect as much but then again it does as it the place where we seek a response (voice) when we reach out for answers and support. Otherwise, the third option was my favorite of those provided. I too am a little over the ribbon theme, even though it is a language most understand at this point in time.
I do really think the ribbon needs to be changed. The ribbons are wearing themselves out. Need something creative. Sorry I don’t have any ideas as I’m not real creative myself. I didn’t like the bird and the other two logos didn’t do anything for me, but if I had to vote on one it would be the circled TCV, creative and simple!
Thanks Lillian for your comment about the ribbon.
Logo on the right … stands out the best … implies boldness, assertiveness and the backbone necessary for a caregiver?
THANKS D, just like you and S, right? SMILE
I don’t particularly like any of the logos….
First, a ribbon (depending on color) is for various causes – i.e. purple cancer, etc. and not all caregivers are caring for any one “cause.” The bird makes no sense to me, and the callout is impersonal.
What about something that shows caregivers are people that need a voice – i.e. a ring of hands – old, young, male, female, various races, ethnic backgrounds, which are joined together to make their voices heard.
Thank YOU for posting your ideas, Carol.
I am glad I’m not the designer. So many diverse comments to integrate into one cohesive logo.
