MCW takes in women in real need, houses them and provides real-life skills that equip them to be successful in life. We want to engage the entire community in this mission - a new logo/bi-line is the first step of an expansive campaign. Existing site: http://www.mcwerie.org/

My companies, IDVidPro.com, Keys2Heaven.com, ErieAlityTV.com, and IDGenesys.com have contributed to the successes of many INSPIRATIONAL MAJOR MEDIA projects and ORGANIZATIONS (Disney's Narnia, Warner Brothers' Superman Returns, A&E's God or the Girl, ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition). We are committed to setting a standard for excellence, and are always interested in incorporating new talent for a variety of high-impact projects.

Please address questions specifically referring to this project to: Greg Schlueter, Greg@IDVidPro.com

Our primary target is women, ages 18-40 (those who are served) AND women with discretionary income and talents who want to aid in this mission (ages 35-70, income $50K+++/year, minimal college education, have community sensibilities and leadership). [certainly, we also want to engage men and others outside this primary target who will become benefactors]

Secondarily, the entire community. There will be substantial, additional campaign "build" following this logo/bi-line branding that engages the entire community in the mission.

The winning designer will:

(1) Incorporate the name ("Mercy Center for Women"), with the bi-line ("Changing Lives with a Touch of Mercy"), into an inspiring, powerful, unique, coherent symbol.

(2) Feel free to offer multiple variations and/or instances in terms of color, style, font or etc.;

(3) Be open to "tweaking" feedback without guarantee of final selection (we are respectful of your time and will not request tweaks unless you're in the ball park);

(4) In general, we want this to have a feminine appeal in style. Not looking for cheap, clip art!

(5) Make available all source files (Adobe Illustrator, etc.) "free and clear";
