@Michaela Kennedy Hi Mic, I can definitely do the rock art style for all three, I will need the weekend to do them, is there enough time @Dee Brooks?

@Rosemary Profilio can you help out with an Auslan sign for build capacity or something that can represent that? My only reservation about helping is the power position it puts people in that receive help. Would support be better? I like the rock art idea but instead of using others can we make our own? @Mark Cauvin Can all three be in rock art style but use our own designs? I'm ok with the hands to the centre for community, lots of people for events and not sure about NDIS, something with hands I think, or maybe something growing out of a hand.

Thanks! @Michaela Kennedy ideas?

http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/build-1.html .. This is the sign for build.. there's no sign that I can see for capacity.. but happy to keep brain storming.. :)

Hi Dee, I believe that cave art image would be public domain, my gess is yes :)

All good! We can re-poll tomorrow - I just want action quickly because new website is live on Monday and you are all jumping - thanks!

Noting:

• NDIS looks sad and needs interpretation of "capacity" instead of "help" @Jasmine Winter ?

• Is rock image permission needed? @Mark Cauvin ?

• ABCD looks childish @Michelle Dunscombe ?

Overall, rock art style is ok if permission/origin is ok!

Ok thanks, makes sense, I like the style idea.

Hey Mic, My intention was just stylistically not the actual image, Dee could you add this detail to the pole, if the outcome was right all the images would be adapted to reflect this style. The style is 1 dimensional, more prehistoric/organic feel rather than primary colours, repeated shapes and patterns.

I like the hands one - my only concern is it respectful to indigenous people of Australia, maybe ask the RAP team.

Done! Please vote!

Hi Dee, of course, I'll have to do some preparatory work to iron the images into the style, should I wait till you plant a poll?

I really like where you're going, Mark! Do you think we could somehow get Michelle's ABCD suggestion, Jas's NDIS suggestion (#1) and one of these for Unconf, in the same style?

Okay maybe my idea is too far out but I am thinking stylistically ancient art but with a soft mellow edge. Some scrap book type ideas, images white superimposed on grey.

I like the second one, in our colours. I don't like the idea of helping, I prefer capacity building. Is there an Auslan sign for capacity building?

1 sounds like a great idea! 😊

I love the Auslan idea, Jas! What Michelle has offered for ABCD is similar to your 3rd one so between your 1 & 2, I would choose #1 - how about you? (I'll put these to a quick poll soon)

I thought something similar to these, but in our colours?.. Support, growth and gatherings came to mind. I did think for the NDIS icon - The Auslan sign for "support" or "Help" drawn in our colours? .. Just an idea.. :)

Thanks Aleks! It's just one icon for NDIS - CoS & BiS words sit underneath the icon... I appreciate your thinking though!

Here's an initial vision for the BIS icon

Thanks Fran - I'm not sure that our new logo image would work as an icon, as well?

Thanks Dee.

I like to think of the support we provide like a spiderweb. We keep creating and expanding the person network and the person is o the centre, we start small and grow. As we support the person with new learning, there are new pathways created in our brain. There are a range of different perspective to include - the rainbow of life experiences. Therefore I like the attached image captures my imagination and makes sense to me. Im hoping to contact the creative Jedi to bring life to my imagination. Nothing set in stones.

Yep, all of them - it will guide people to the information about our workshops, gatherings, Unconferences; any events where we will be inviting people to come join us!

People will arrive at the landing page of our website and have three choices about the information they want to find; they will click on the 3 icons for this and that will take them to that section of the website... Hope this helps!

Hi Dee, I've been brainstorming, EVENTS is the hard one, any suggestions anyone? Can I clarify Dee what's the nature of events. I guess training, AOH, eventually music (?). I'm thinking learning, gathering, groupthink, projects, ??? I need more words :)

That's exactly why we're looking for feedback on new ones... 😉

People will arrive at our landing page and will click on the one they need the information from so, yes, they are needed...

See my comment on Michelle's suggestion above re: where they might sit... thanks!

Thanks for clarifying @Dee Brooks . I think the icons are very corporate and don't really fit with our new more organic rebranding. Are they really needed within the hero piece? Id like to see them below the image with Maggie's brushstrokes and icons that have meaning and purpose to us an Organisation and that are easily identifiable by people searching for information. Just my opinion.

Fair call! And I really like your creative feedback about colour contrast ratio!

Oh but Dee, creativity is on a spectrum...I just happen to be at the opposite end to everyone else😆🤓

Great point, Jodie! I'll let IT know that one!

Aside, you know this is the Creative Jedi, right? Haha!

My creative gene left the building a while back unfortunately, so my only request is that whatever we use, the icons and background colour/image has a high enough colour contrast ratio to be accessible for people with a vision impairment.

Thanks Meredith, we don't want a logo, particularly not an established one - if you look at the screenshot, it's just the 3 almost translucent icons that represent each "section" of the website...

I really like Michelle Walkers hand drawn NDIS logo for the NDIS Space from what she showed us the other day on zoom. Or the original NDIS Registered Logo that we are allowed to use. See below.

Sure, I will call you, I'm not sure waht you mean by the hero image.....yet

Hey @Michelle Dunscombe - feedback from Chris:

"They can be any colour. If they don't fit the hero image it will have to go somewhere else"

So, the ABCD/AoPCB icon is done! Haha!

Hey @Dee Brooks do they have to be black? If not, would this work for Cobu? I did also notice "Contributing to Change" have we changed from "At the heart of change"?

That's why this is in the Creative Jedi, @Brett Pischke ?!? Hahaha!

Hi

This is totally not my strength. I will have to leave this to people that have the creative bones sorry
