Meet our new logo!

August 4, 2011. Posted in: Blog Posts

Please join me in congratulating Keith Hanssen on creating the winning design!

After reviewing all of your comments in the poll, and “test driving” the logos on web page samples, I selected Keith’s design. I like that it is a distinctive design, with bold strokes, and I’ve always loved wood-block style prints. Keith describes his design as a tree of knowledge, life, and love arising and growing from KellyMom.

Keith’s wife, Anna, is a long-time reader who told him about the contest and encouraged him to submit a design. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration, but he is not a professional graphic designer.

I want to again thank everyone who submitted a design. There were so many wonderful designs that narrowing it down to 8 finalists was difficult, and then choosing a single design from those was a real challenge. I’m very proud of how many truly talented people contributed to the contest.

~ Kelly

    I just want to say thank you for choosing my entry. I really did create
    it from a heart-felt perspective with the idea of Kellymom growing and
    nurturing its readers through knowledge. Our own experience with our
    first-born, Sara, and all the breastfeeding, attachment parenting,
    co-sleeping, and many other non-traditional (U.S.) parenting methods,
    has shown me that there is a tremendous merit and somewhat of an urgency
    in getting the word out to every parent. Kellymom strives to make this
    happen. My wife and I both are so happy with how loving and healthy Sara
    is, and we know that much of our success is due to the fact that she is
    breastfed from birth and loved beyond words.

    Neat to read where the inspiration for the design came from. I saw the logo as a top down view of the breast, with all the wonderful milk ducts and the love that goes into breastfeeding worked into the design. Oops!
