Islands of the Californias CollaborativeLogo Design Contest

I will email you all the information and additional files you need to move forward. An EPS file is a vector file, which means it can be edited with the proper software, such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. I will be sending you several other file formats via your email, such as a PDF and PNG files. PNG files are great to use on Facebook or other websites, where you want to use it without any background, and it can be placed over any background, solid or even a photograph. Your printer for t-shirts, etc., may ask for a PDF or EPS file. Look for an email from me shortly with all of the above mentioned. My email address is: janisa810@yahoo.com

No need to thank me. Your design was liked by everyone in the group.
You deserve the win as you put in a lot of effort to address all the comments that came your way. Two questions though: 1) can you tell me what an is EPS file, and 2) which software does it work with?

Thank you for choosing my design! I have uploaded the EPS and JPG files here at LT. Once you approve those files, I will email you additional formats that may come in handy. If you have any questions, let me know!

Hi There,
I have returned from my trip and on standby for feedback. Please let me know if the group would like any changes, I am ready to make any adjustments necessary to achieve the perfect design.

No worries. Have a safe trip. We have a few days for the group to arrive at a consensus.

Good Morning,
I will be away from my design desk until later today, but will check in as soon as I am back for any updates in regards to my design/s. I'll be happy to make any changes necessary to get the design exactly as you envision. One note, I will be traveling Friday through Monday to visit family.
However, I will work on it tonight and then again Monday if need be. Thank you again for all of your feedback!

#92 Here's my latest version. I will continue to explore ways of improving my design, thank you so much for your feedback!

I understand thank you for your insight. Working on this now. Once this phase closes, only the 1st ranked designer will be able to upload new designs, so keep that in mind going forward, you can move them around as you need.

My apologies for this late reply. I am in a remote area right now and the internet connection has been down since last night. I had a couple of thoughts - 1) have the islands in a semi circle around the words in the logo, perhaps interspersed with the flowers or 2) don't align the islands as they are on a map but rather just attractively scattered throughout the white area. I will still have your other revised logos in the ranking.

Hi.
Not quite sure how to add the islands of Baha Mexico. The lower bottom island to the right is San Clemente. I'll continue working on it.

Thank you for this. Let me see if I can figure out a pleasing way to include those islands that you mention. I'll work on this tomorrow morning with fresh eyes .

All of your designs are liked by at least one of the people in the group. The universal detraction is not showing the islands off of Baha, Mexico in your designs. I don't know how best to show them. Perhaps eliminate the flowers in the lower right hand corner? You might have to tweak all of your designs in that way.

The white flower at the top were supposed to be island manzanitas , I can change the color the a light pink.
I am here to make any changes that could improve my ranking. : )

This is the front runner as of now. One person doesn't like the color white on the flower. Also, the islands off the coast of Baja, Mexico are part of the group and it would be nice if you could add 1 or 2 of their islands in the logo.

Got it! I will work on those specific requests and send over a new design soon.

One more comment. A group member would like some generic plants replaced with island specific plants like ironwood and the island tree mallow.

Hi. I think you were spot on with the brighter colors, especially those of the plants. That was the comment I received for this design, otherwise they liked it.

Thanks for your reply, I'll be ready if/when they have any requests.

I've sent the top 12 logos out for the group to review. Let's see what they say before we make any changes.

Would you rather see some brighter colors? Let me know if you would like to see other options!

Hi.
I've worked on improving the native plant drawings on this one. Your feedback is appreciated.

I could put a small date upper right corner of California, or other info about the September event.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll work on my design with your comments in mind and upload a new one soon.

I like this. I think the island shapes should be more realistic though and consider adding and island or 2 like Catalina and Guadalupe. The collaborative encompasses more than just the those that make up Channel Islands National Park. I would like to see the islands of the other collaborators included in at least one submission.
