Noah's Kitchen, a non-profit organization in Houston that started earlier this year, provides meals to the homeless. Here is the organization's official mission statement:

"Providing the less fortunate with nourishment, nutritional education and other assistance as needed."

The organization is quickly gaining momentum thanks to many other groups such as the Ford Fiesta Movement and WeSLGT. The team behind the Houston Ford Fiesta Movement is giving a car to Noah's Kitchen if they win against other cities competing for the prize. (Be sure to check them out so you can show support as well!)

Amber, the founder of Noah's Kitchen, mentioned to me that she only had a low-res image of her logo and needed help. I asked her permission to play with the logo. Here were the basic parameters given to me:

• keep the child-like quality
• include the original blue
• keep the chef idea w/the key elements of the wisk/bowl/heart

Below is the original logo, followed by the first rough drafts of the new logo. I gave that kid a bit more character (because the real Noah has a lot of that, to say the least!). I also moved the bowl w/love over his heart. I'll tweak the text when we decide on which version to evolve.

We'd all appreciate your input! Tell us which one(s) you like and why, or if you have any other creative ideas, feel free to share. Leave your comments below (waaaaay down at the bottom), and please make sure to reference by number.

Thank you!!  ~KR
