31 MillionLogo Design Contest

Thank you for your entries... It's amazing to see this take life.

A couple of comments: the first two (and third :) are really interesting. Could the first one have a little more color perhaps? I really like the petrol blue and orange combination... What I love about the second one is the girl... She's definitely French, so it conveys the message pretty well that there's about 31M of them around. I'm not sure why she's standing on the M though!

In short, if a combination of the two first was possible, then I'd go for it. I don't know how you can make this possible, but I'm hoping!

Finally, the font in almost all the entries is too classical. We need something more modern, like the one in the link provided in the brief (for example). I'm also posting a couple of other links to fonts that we like, so you have an idea: http://www.modemove.com/images/marque/zadig-voltaire.jpg and http://www.narumiya-planning.co.jp/marizza_topics/img/manoush_logo.jpg

Thank you and have good day from Amsterdam!

Thank you for these cool entries, please keep them coming... I'll also write to those of you who kindly wrote with comments asap.

Just a quick general comment though: I'm not sure I can deal with too much pink :) Fuchsia is great, but please keep it in small touches...

Cheers :)

Hello!

Thank you for these entries... I don't have time to rank them properly because I have to jet for a meeting until this afternoon...

Is there a possibility we shorten the skirt, make it more tight...? Basically, what I loved about Michael Campbell's entries is that she is quintessentially French (read: understated sexy). I know these are fashion conversations you might not be interested in, but it's essential I get her right since what I'm "teaching" is French style...

Thanks and speak to you later,

N.
PS: have a look at the best illustrator of French women ever:

His name is Edmond Kiraz

Oh and of course, there's always Carlita's style to check out for inspiration: French-Italian super model turned first lady... Only in France lol :)

ca serait sympa d'etendre la duree de creation, car je pense que la communaute peut mieux faire.
pour ma part ce projet est interessant mais je pense que ce sera dur de trouver le temps ce week end pour faire un logo en quelques heure sur le coin d'une table, si vous souhaitez de la qualite.
s'il vous plait.
:)
it will be cool to extend a bit the one day more in order to have more proposal.Your contest is so interesting but so little time to make a great job.
please do not forget to comment if possible each designer proposals, it help you to tune your expectations regarding your logo design.

plaka kaneis...

Hello,

I extended the deadline to the contest because as mentioned before, there is room for more exploration as well as tweaking of some existing logos...

In any case, thanks to all for your takes... It's amazing how creative, open and kind this community is...

I'll get back to you either later today or tomorrow morning (Western Europe time) for comments. Have a great Sunday,

N.

Hello,

As promised here are a few comments so far:

The style: 1) either the depiction of a woman, or a detail of a woman's attire or 2) the name of the company in a stylised version

The woman: please this girl needs to be
- either classy, but not intimidating (otherwise we'll have no clients) or funky rock'n roll like in #41
- sexy but not sexual

Other: We are not sure how easily we can use logos that are not "contained" somehow or with edges that are too dark. We need to use this logo for business cards (smudge effect), the website and flyers among others.

Thank you.

Please keep on bringing entries... and please don't mind the moderator issue which is being taken care of now.
