Comment by Ulysses Blakeley on March 30, 2009 at 9:35pm: I like Logo 2. Deco typeface is on point as a design element. Suggestion :possibly mettalicized as in http://davidocchino.com/portfolio/typography/cinema.html

Comment by Bakari on March 30, 2009 at 10:38am: I like number 3 myself.

Comment by Danielle on March 29, 2009 at 1:53pm: I vote for choice number 3 provided the wording is changed to Bronzeville Urban Green (not development)

Comment by Margarita Shabazz on March 29, 2009 at 1:15pm: Hello BUG team.. I have uploaded some logo designs for this project. Please take a look on my pics. Feedback is appreciated.

Comment by Margarita Shabazz on March 11, 2009 at 11:45pm: I will begin spreading the news about B.U.G.'s plans and commitment to the Bronzeville community. I have joined the marketing and promotion team for the Green Festival (Green America) being held in Chicago. I am working on logos and other design work for their organic food court and passing our information and paraphernalia for the event. Let's get a brochure together which includes thorough information and a strong mission statement so we can create a "buzz" about B.U.G...... I am currently working on logo will have something to post soon.

Comment by Danielle on February 24, 2009 at 8:02am: Thanks Neil. We are putting together more information about the plan with other community groups and area residents to post in the text box.

Comment by Neil Takemoto on February 23, 2009 at 5:46pm: One suggestion is to use the 'Text Box' above to provide a detailed description of this project (allowing html), since the 'Information' box above it is limited in how much text it can display.

Comment by Danielle on February 23, 2009 at 5:32pm: Good idea,
We met some people at Black Creativity already involved with the Bronzeville development projects. I will send email to them for several dates and times.

Comment by Margarita Shabazz on February 22, 2009 at 1:50pm: Danielle,
We should plan a meeting to brainstorm and refresh our ideas and concepts for B.U.G. I can bring the wine and cheese : )
