Winship Phillips helps Central Dallas Ministries and Central Dallas Community Development Corporation with media, communications, graphics and branding.

Larry James' Urban Daily

A repository of ideas, resources, commentary and opinions concerning the issues facing low-income residents of the inner cities of the United States and how mainstream America largely forgets or, worse, ignores the day-to-day realities of urban life for the so-called "poor." Written and edited by the President & CEO of Central Dallas Ministries. Please visit CDM.

Great company!

Great partners!

If you need a crack graphics firm, contact me and I will put you in touch with Ken and Becky Phillips, the principals.

But, here's the deal today.

I have posted several logos they have developed for our CityWalk @Akard project in Downtown Dallas.

CityWalk @Akard will be developed into 209 apartment units, 200 of which will be affordable, with 50 set aside for formerly homeless persons. Nine of the units will be market rate.

CDM will also occupy the third floor with our administrative offices, LAW Center and CDC.

The first two floors will be occupied by our tenant services/concierge group, a leasing office, light retail and office space for outside companies wishing to office Downtown. I'm happy to report that negotiations are underway presently with several companies interested in moving into our retail and office space.

What I'd like to know right now is which logo do you like best? The color schemes could change, so don't worry about that, just the design.

Please take a moment and cast your vote! Review the logos with the one at the top being #1 and descending through #4 at the bottom. I would love to hear from as many of you as possible on this one!

I believe that the simple lowercase a in a circle in number #1 & #2 works better than the traditional @ symbol. My overall choice would be a all caps font on logos 1 & 2 with the current simplified @ symbol in #1 & #2.

I think the two gray ones (#1 and #4) are more fitting for a business area, while #2 and #3 are more "warm" and appropriate for a residential area.

That being said, it comes down to a race between #2 and #3, and I can't really decide which is better.

4 has depth, white space, and appeals most to me.

Cocktail Hour: Grand Marnier Margaritas Eager to populate its "picturesque patio", the Mansion is serving free f-r-e-e margaritas made with Grand Marnier. Provisos: It's from 6 to 7 p.m. only, and seating is "limited", although they don't say to whom. Probably not you, but what the hell. More info
