Creative Guidelines

We feel that our current logo does not adequately reflect what IMA really is – an innovative and compassionate nonprofit organization that advances health and healing all over the world. Though our current logo may say it with words, it doesn’t communicate the message well visually. We would like to rebrand IMA World Health with a fresh new logo that better represents, graphically, who we are and what we do.

Please keep in mind the following:

• IMA manages a wide variety of health and medical programs in the developing world. We currently have long-term projects in Haiti, India and all over Africa, and we also regularly respond to disasters with medicines and medical supplies.
• IMA is a non-profit, faith-based organization.
• IMA is a highly professional and capable organization, but we are also compassionate and caring in our mission to save and improve lives.
• The logo will be used on all IMA collateral both in the US and internationally.

For your reference:

• Here are the two IMA logos that we have used in the past:

• The best designs will accurately reflect IMA as an organization. For an up-close-and-personal look at our projects and to learn what IMA is all about, visit our website at www.imaworldhealth.org.

The Selection Process

Judging will be conducted in four (4) rounds, with input from a variety of key IMA stakeholders.

Round 1: The initial round of judging has two parts:

1. Each entry design will be posted on the IMA World Health Facebook page in the Logo Design Contest album, and the number of “likes” each design receives will be weighed toward advancement to the next round. The top three (3) designs, as designated by the number of “likes” on Facebook, will be guaranteed to make Round 2 – so be sure to promote your design among your Facebook friends!
2. A small group of IMA staff (the IMA Logo Committee) will pick 15 favorites (including the top 3 Facebook choices) from among all entries for consideration in Round 2.

Round 2: A focus group will be assembled to rate the top 15 logos for effectiveness and style.

Round 3: The IMA Senior Management Team will review the top 15 logos along with the input, comments and recommendations from the IMA Logo Committee and focus group. The top three (3) choices will be selected.

Round 4: The winning logo design will be selected by IMA Board Members at the fall board meeting in October 2011.
