12604 Logo Design Contest

Hello,

This is my first entry in your contest. I tried to make the knife look realistic and clean without making it too complicated.
If you would like to see different letter styles or anything else, please let me know.
Thank you for your consideration,
Tim

We like the greater realism very much. Can you please get rid of the Inc so Construction is centered?

Hello,

This one has the Inc removed and "Construction" centered.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #42)

In this one, I made "Construction" a little bigger, made the rings on the knife a little smaller and centered the knife differently as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #44)

Hello,

I wanted to show you another look with Construction even bigger.
Please feel free to let me know of any other changes you would be interested in seeing.
I have a couple of other ideas I'm working on as well.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

This one uses a bolder font style to change the look as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #46)

Hello,

I wanted to show you one with a horizontal layout approach as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #48)

Like it. can you make the knife look more three dimensional?
I think the Inc. is important. Lic. # 637927..Anyway of fitting that in there too?

Bold...like it

nice clean font but a little boring

I like the adddition of the black. It makes it stronger

can you use some black within the design to pop it alittle?

Thank you very much for the feedback, it's very helpful.
I'll get to work on the changes.

Tim

Hello,
I thought I would tackle putting the Lic. # in first.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #49)

This is #41 using the font from #46 with the Lic# included.

(This comment references Entry #50)

With "Construction, Inc" in black...

I'll work on adding more contrast to the knife to make it pop more and then a 3D look.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #51)

Hello,
This is #48 with a bolder font and Lic# used as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #52)

Hello,
I angled to knife on the horizontal layout as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #54)

Hello,

I added more contrast, darker colors and detail to the knife to make it pop more.
If you like this knife, I can use it easily in any of the other layouts.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #55)

This one has the darker knife with red "Construction, Inc." and the "Inc." the same size as construction.

Thanks again, and if you want any parts of one design used in another, please don't hesitate to let me know.
I just didn't want to submit too many variations all at once.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #56)

Hello,

This one has a bit darker blade on the knife and a slight bevel on the "Construction, Inc" to make it stand out a little more.
Also a red line so you could see what that looked like.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

I added the scissors in the knife to the horizontal design as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #60)

Hello,

Here are a few entries with the scissors added to the knife.
It changes how the vertical layout looks because "Construction" can't go right under the knife with this one, but I wanted to show you the option.
I tried to keep the variations down to a minimum as there are a lot of elements I could mix and match.
If there are any things you want from one with another, just let me know the entry numbers.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,
This one has the red shaded in "MacGyver" to give it some more depth, as another idea.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #73)

And this one uses a dark gray for "MacGyver".....

(This comment references Entry #74)

Hello,
The last two are a more 3-D look as another option.
I can easily use this knife version in any of the other layouts.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #77)

Hello,
I redrew the knife and added the side of it for a more 3-D look.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #88)

Hello,

Here is a complete 3D look using shadows.
I can do this with the other knife (the one with just the blade) if needed.
Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #91)

Hello,

This is #41 (currently in first place) with the only difference being more dark colors in the knife.
Thanks for your time, and if you would like to see any of the later ones using this style lettering please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #93)

..and here it is with the Lic #.

(This comment references Entry #94)

One more small change for the one in first currently.
This is exactly the same as #41 with the Lic# added.

Thank you,
TIm

(This comment references Entry #95)

Hello,

Just wanted to show you some in different colors.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #96)

And the last one, dark blue.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #101)

Hello,

I had one more idea, in a different direction. A hammer instead of a knife blade.
Just an option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #103)

Hello,

I drew grips on the hammer handle to make it look more realistic.
I think I've checked off all the ideas I had at this point.
I'll be traveling tomorrow morning, but as I've mentioned please feel free to let me know if you want to see any different colors or combinations.
I should be back tomorrow (Monday) afternoon.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #104)

I did one with a saw, too, just as another idea.

Take care,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #105)

wow, awesome entries!

#46 is our favorite. Can we see the knife closed a bit and try the MacGyver in black and/or shadows or something to give it more definition. Can we also see a version without the MC logo so that the MacGyver word is bigger and better balances the size of Construction?

Hello,

Thank you very much for the feedback.
I'll be home this afternoon and will do those right away.

Take care,
Tim

Hello,

This is the first of the revisions you wanted to see on #46.
A darker shadow behind the white to make it stand out more, and the blade more closed.
I can easily open or close it more if needed.
I liked this one when I first drew it for the simple but bold and sharp look.
More to come..

Thank you,
Tim

This one removes the MC logo and centers "MacGyver".

(This comment references Entry #114)

Hello,

This one has the line above the tagline removed.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #115)

Hello,

This one has a black outline around "MacGyver" to make it stand out more.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #117)

The black outline around MacGiver without the MC logo.

Thank you,
TIm

(This comment references Entry #118)

Hello,

This one has a darker knife and shadow in the red, as well as a black outline around "MacGyver" to make it pop.
"Construction" is also a darker shade of red.

If you would like any other changes, such as shading or font style, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #119)

Hello,

A specific font for "MacGyver", which would be recognizable for fans of the show.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #120)

Hello,

This one is #46 with the "MacGyver" font, a darker background on the knife so it stands out more and the original blade color.
I think I got all the variations you had asked about, darker shadow outline to make "MacGyver" stand out more, with and without the MC.

Thank you again,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #121)

Lastly, I removed the hinge cap on the right side to make the knife more streamlined as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #122)

Hello,

This is #46 but instead of darkening the red to make MacGyver stand out, I added a shadow to the word for a different look. It keeps the rest of the knife the brighter red.
Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #125)

This one also uses the shadow of MacGyver to keep the bright red and I removed the cap and made MacGyver bigger.

Thanks again,
TIm
