And the winner is...

I just realized I should probably post about the winning logo for www.midcoastmagnet.com's logo design contest.

We had over 60 submissions and probably over 100 designs, as some of those submissions were concepts.

We are so proud to announce Joan Hantz as the winner! She did a great job and Joan's design embodied exactly what the board was looking for! As the board sat at the table discussing this design kept coming back to the discussion and we kept seeing uses for it such as conference tickets and street banners and hanging name tags. It was clean, simple and complimented Juice like we had asked, but it also provided a funtional design that could be incorporated into event branding.

The contest was sponsored by Paolina's Way of Camden, Maine. Thank you Christina Sidoti for your generous donation. Check out Paolina's! They have awesome Italian fod and a great atmosphere! They are also hosting the new Midcoast Lounge Project!

Windsor Street Design Associates, Inc. (WSDA) is a full-service graphic design studio that solves business-communication problems. WSDA started as Joan Hantz Design in Rochester, New York in 1981. Businesses and not-for-profits flocked to Joan, who offered fresh ideas and an easy manner. As workload and reputation grew, other talented designers were hired. In 1990, the team moved into a spacious Victorian house on Windsor Street in the city’s fashionable East End. Today, located in Maine, the studio continues to serve as a hotbed of creativity, strategy, and a wide range of graphic designs for businesses and not-for-profit organizations alike.
