I will be uploading versions with typography later today. For now, I wanted to let you see where I am going with your concept, so you can get a good feel as to my interpretation of your brand identity needs.
If you have any special requests, or preferences of any sort, please do let me know what you think. I strive to give my clients the best of service and the highest of quality.
I have since refined my concept...and withdrawn a few "preliminary ideas".... :)
I hope you like the version that I've arrived at. If you don't like these, please let me know, as I count myself to be a very resourceful, capable designer, and would be happy to stretch my creativity for your benefit.
P.S.... Meant to mention: I've designed this concept with your printing costs in mind. Meaning....no "special effects" like shine, gloss, gradients, shadows, or the like are integral to the logo being printed. All those effects can lead to extra printing costs (hefty) and also may not scale down onto smaller products well (the smaller the product, the harder it is to see the icon and/or name with the more special effects it has).
Granted...I'm *more* than happy to make a shiny, glossy, or drop shadow type of version, but I felt strongly from the outset that you need to keep costs down, while increasing its look of simplicity and class.
If you have any requests for special effects, I will be happy to oblige, of course.
I like your design very much. You may send more others. For the currently 1st ranking, can you concentrate more on the SUMMER rather than the flower. May you try to make it more colorful. You may ignore about the printing costs at this time. I would love to see your best creativity without costs.
I would really love to see your work as you wish to do as you said so... "Granted...I'm *more* than happy to make a shiny, glossy, or drop shadow type of version, but I felt strongly from the outset that you need to keep costs down, while increasing its look of simplicity and class."
My great apologies; I was on holiday with loved ones this weekend, and the connection to post my message to you failed. I have just arrived back at my computer that has design software on it, and will be submitting revisions as soon as I can.
I'll look over your comments and give my ideas some further thought, and also take a look at your comments and requests. More revisions are indeed coming your way. Again, great apologies for not getting that message to you sooner; I was under the impression that it posted. A lack of internet access prevented me from realizing that you did not indeed get my post from earlier.
When I post revisions, I'll also note this in our private communication area.
Welcome back!!! Hope you had a great holiday. No problem for the missing messages from you while you were away, don't worry. Can't wait to see your revisions soon.
After I last messaged you, I went to bed. Then, to work the following day.
I came home for lunch, to work on concepts and upload them....and my computer had been STOLEN. STOLEN!! Apartment broken into.
I had no alternative to create new designs for awhile, but I finally got to another friend's computer and re-did the whole thing over. I have since borrowed an older computer from the same friend, and purchased another copy of Adobe Illustrator (which I resisted doing, but I wound up with no other alternative).
Sooooo.....I have no idea what else to say, lol...except...my apologies once again for the delay!!!! This has been a very odd week.
I know who stole my equipment as well, so I will undoubtedly get it back. For now though, this is what I am doing.
Will be continuing to upload a few new designs before the end of Top 5 soon.
Just wanted to check with you...did the submissions I uploaded resonate with you more than the previous version? If so, or if not, please let me know; although it is Judging mode and I am unable to submit anymore revisions due to not being 1st place ranked....it is always good to get feedback on work performed.
Thank you very much for joining our contest. It has been wonderful to see your creative works since you submitted the design#21. Eventhough, it finally slipped into the 4th place. Anyway, your design had been in my 1st ranking for quite a period of time.
Your designs were lovely and striked the eyes. However, after I tested printing each logo, top 5 rankings, on my products, It seemed to be that just one logo design would fit to a variety of our products and represent ourselves quite well.
My English is a little bit poor, lol. I couldn't say much what I really wanted to say. Anyway, please keep up creating wonderful designs and enjoy your life. Hope to see you again in the future contest and, again, hope you get back your lovely computer soon.
