Haha, Good one! 😁😂

Partha! Partha! Partha!

This is one of the many reasons we all love you 🤣🤣🤣

You can expect to see those words back again now ...

PS Thank you for the tip, I will weed those ones out going forward, lol!

Hi Frank

Attached is a screenshot of the letterhead. This is what I have to work with. Also attached is the logo only which I took from the letterhead and tried editing in Canva. I think it may originally have been clowns. I'm not too keen on it, to be honest.

Those figures kind of looks like clowns, but I'm not sure they are that exactly. Canva has some clown graphics that might work, and you can adjust the colors to match their brand colors. If that doesn't work, then, I'd do something simple just with those 3 letters in the center - is it SCH? Kind of hard to tell. You could find a similar font, duplicate the colors, and use that without the 4 figures. Or, you could put the letters inside 4 circles with those colors, or something like that.

Sometimes the simpler the better!

Thank you so much.

You know, I've been wracking my brain to try and work out what the letters are all about, they don't seem to match the name Orange Farm Childrens Home - it hit occurred to me, they changed the name of the home at some stage and I think that logo is from the old name. Yay! Time and reason for a change! Haha! I will keep your advice in mind as I work on something different - similar, but different 😊
Thank you so much for you help.

Agreed! Those clowns really aren't doing anything for me - if that is what they are, lol!

I agree! I think they're too complicated of a graphic for a logo, IMHO :)

Hi, Louise

I agree with Mary-Elle.

I think you could easily design a much nicer-looking and updated logo in Canva, using clowns or whatever the children's home favors at this point.

I would have a brief meeting with them to discuss it further. I'm sure they would deeply appreciate your effort.

You're a good person! 😎

Frank 🎸

Good luck Louise! I hope you find a simple logo solution that suits their needs. If it's OFCH, you may want to use those letters with a very simple new logo. Just an idea, you may even turn to Fiverr for a lot of designers there do pretty elaborate work on logos for dirt cheap.

Thank you, Mary-Elle
Please see my response to Eric for feedback.

Hahaha! They're an NPO - this is how it works, unfortunately.
Some do-gooder volunteer student looking for experience probably created the logo for them. Then didn't impress the importance of keeping the original design for quality sake on whoever received it at the children's home. And that now volunteer has moved onto something new. The staff member at said children's home has probably also moved on.
We're also talking about a rural area in Africa, technology is not high on their list of priorities, not when they have 90 disadvantaged and displaced children to feed.
Thank you for your advice though 😁

OK, how complicated is the logo? Could you possibly create something similar looking in Canva and use that instead? The letterhead and the social logos probably don't need to be identical. Or, you could just create something with a similar look and the brand colors in Canva and use that for all the social.

Hi there

I've attached it to the response to Frank. Let me know what you think, please.

All that being said, you can’t magically reproduce a sharp image from a blurry one. 😎👍🏼 you either recreate it yourself or get a better copy to work from.

Between you and me, I cannot even make out what the image was originally - I do have some vision challenges though so it could just be me.
Thanks for weighing in.
I may have to design something completely new for them. This depends on whether they will have signage and all sorts of other things to update too. Doing that would be very costly, and the money would be better spent feeding the children.

Thank you, Diane. I checked under Republic - nothing there either. Appreciate your recommendation though.

Hi Julia, I do that too - multiple books at any given time, haha!

Like you, I also use different formats and read both fiction and non-fiction.

I recently watched the movie Where the Crawdads Sing and have since learned that there are also a few books in a series - of course, they came before the movie did, I just wasn't aware of them. Anyway, I loved the movie and cannot wait to start reading the books. It's going to take some discipline to pull my nose out of the books when I start, haha!

I see you enjoyed Carol Dwek's Mindset book, think I will have to add that to my long list of reads.

The book that you are reading currently about saving the planet - I see that you are enjoying it, would you mind sharing why? Is there any conspiracy theory stuff in it? That is the quickest way to put me off reading or watching anything. If it is factual and not hyped, I would love to know more.

I am a sensitive viewer and reader so I tend to stick with things I can either do something about, it's educational or fiction.

Carol Dweck’s Mindset is so good!!

Thank you so much for sharing, Holly.

Mindset is now also on my list 😊

I haven't made use of Audible yet - sounds like it's a good plan though.

Funny story, I was listening to an audio sent to me via WhatsApp the other day from a pastor who sends out quick messages, the next thing my little Jackie Rascal starts performing and running around my little townhouse barking at everything. I was so irritated because she disrupted my little listening time, only to laugh when I realized that she was barking because she heard a strange man's voice in the house! She's an old girl now so her hearing has declined, hence the running around barking, she couldn't make out where the voice was coming from. Hahaha!

Omg so funny! My dogs do that when they hear a doorbell or knock on the tv or phone.

Exactly! So what you are reading at the moment? Do tell 😊

Haha! I am so glad to know I am not the only one who dozes off 🤣

Thank you so much for contributing here, Brenda.
