Hi,
here are my new entries.
Regards, Bob

(This comment references Entry #45)

Hi Bob-

Thanks for the submission. I like the sophisticated clothing elements (tie, vest, shirt) of #45, but the body frame of 36 is my . Can we try add these sophisticated elements to model in #36?
tie, vest, not sure about the shirt though becuase I like his black arms and wrist band. But if you do add a shirt with a popped collar that would be nice

I only realized after i saw the black and white version that ,the thing in the Africa map is a sound speaker. map. May be we should try another element to show the music part. Headphones somewhere?

Also can I see a version with a black blackground?

All the revisions i'm referring to are variations off of # 36

Hi,
here are some changes, will submit more soon.
Regards, Bob

Hey really like # 49. Can we make the "entertainment Group" in a shade of gray for 49 and 51?

Question if I select one of your pics can I get a copy in a different rendering e.g if I select a white version can I get a black version too?

Thanks

Hi,
thanks for the feedback.
I`m glad that you like what I did.
As for different rendering of the design, there is no problem. It is common practice among designers here. You can get version with gradients, solid colors, b&w, grayscale, or ask for design in different color or background.
Regards, Bob

With grey font, and #54 with different finger position

Wow looks great. Just a few more comments:

Wrt the hat, can we add lines that show the crevices, the shape of the hat and how the light lands on his head. The same way you do at the bottom of the jeans?

- Wrt to the gray vest, can we add "little dots" to give it more of a "pepper" course texture feel. These would be very fine tiny dots

- Wrt to Africa colors. Green, Yellow & Red. We have green on the green on the wrist band and shoe, and yellow on the shoe laces. We are missing red. Let's take the green off the shoe and replace it with red


Thanks!

P.S. a belt buckle to the jeans too

Hi,
and thanks :)
Is this what you had in mind? I hope I didn`t misunderstand something.
Waiting for further instructions :)
Regards, Bob.

I like what you've done on #55, Can we add fine black "dots" to the grey vest to give it texture. No need to account for angle of the sun or shading it can all be the same tone

Hi,
here are my new entries. I did put soft little dots on vest in my previous entry, but obviously they are not big enough to be noticed. I`ll try couple more variations, and you tell me which one suits you the best.
Regards, Bob

(This comment references Entry #56)

awesome...

Thank you :)

Hi Bob-

Thanks for all you're great work. I spoke to my business partners and we all agree that we want something inbetween #58 & # 57. The resolution on 58 is too low, while it's too high in 57. As a point of clarification did you white dots or black dots in # 58. If so can we try 59 with black dots on the vest.

Thanks

P.S. The shadow on the face is missing in version # 58. I also heard feedback that the gray shadow looks abit like a hand, can we do something about that?

Hi,
let`t try with this variation.
In #58 I did use black, but little squares instead of circles, because I saw that it looked better.
Now I have circles again.

(This comment references Entry #60)

and with face shadow.
PS I didn`t understand what shadow are you refering to

Hi Bob

Thanks for all your work. The logo looks great!

With respect to files to send over, I'm interested in 4 versions:

Logo 1- # 62 remove all language (i.e " remove Africano Boy entertainment group. The home of....."
Logo 2- a version of the Logo 1 with a white background similar to # 54

Logo 3- # 62 as it currently appears but remove the reflection of the Africa map in the on the ground
Logo 4- a version of Logo 3 with white background similar to # 54

Note we will be keeping the reflections in Logos 1 and Logo 2

Please let me know if I can call you to talk directly if anything is unclear.

Thanks,
