We Have A Winner!

From Evelyn Bridges:

I want to thank everyone that entered the logo contest for Charlie's Angels Animal Rescue. I was absolutely astounded by the artistry of all the entries. The creativity was amazing. Having to choose just one was very difficult. Special thanks to Laura W. for initiating the contest and providing the grand prize and prizes for all the entrants. I cannot wait until we have the logo designed by Ann A.on everything!

Big congrats and thanks to Ann Adamus for creating the perfect new logo for Charlie's Angels! The two tails that form a heart were hard to resist. A black and white logo is handy for reproducing in newsletter format, and often cheaper for the group to print.

Evelyn Bridges is deeply grateful for all of the efforts and very unique contributions on behalf of her rescue critters. The other artists will receive the mug of their choice from the Balloon Juice Cafe Press store as a small gesture of appreciation. Look for the new store section to appear as soon as we create a new line of CA's logo swag!

In just six weeks since the store launched we have raised over $1500 in commissions for Charlie's Angels! Awesome.

Chase Designs' Creations

Many thanks to Lucy at Chase Designs (Amazing Graphics - Affordable Prices) for contributing her talents!

Frank Chow Comes Through!

Thanks for being one of the very first people to show enthusiasm for this project and banging your head so hard and often to come up with this beauty!

Que Sara!

The newest critter eye candy is from Sara Boggs, who lives in Brevard. Sara's family is very active in Charlie's Angels' rescuing and fostering programs. She has the most beautiful blog right here.
Thanks, Sara! For all you and your family do.

Gorgeous Work From Glogirly

Big thanks to Debbie from the Cat Blosphere. You can see more of her creative gifts on her blog, GLOGIRLY: Tails Of A Cat And Her Girl.

Ann Adamus Is On A Roll!

Keep 'em coming!

And Another Contestant Joins In

Many thanks to Ann Adamus of Zoolatry blog fame who has been a very good and generous friend to Little Bitsy and Charlie's Angels for months. She designed numerous ads that ran on Balloon Juice reminding people to vote daily in the Cutest Dog Competition and the Thanks Juicers ads when Bitsy took Week 12 in a (near) landslide!




You can see more of Ann's gorgeous photo art here at her Collectibles by Zoolatry blog.

Our First Submission!

Thanks to BJ commenter, Ecks.

Create Our Logo Contest Announcement

Now an official non-profit, Charlie's Angels Animal Rescue, the current beneficiary of all the Balloon Juice CafePress store profits, needs an official logo. Please send your logo in jpg form to Laura W. Indicate how you would like to be credited. All submissions will be displayed here as they are received.

The winner will be selected by Evelyn Bridges, the group's founder, and will receive a whole bunch of really cool swag from the Balloon Juice store. The contest will probably run for a week or two, or until we find the perfect logo.

THANKS for participating!

Meet Evelyn Bridges, Sylvia Evans, and Little Bitsy
