Thanks, I'm pleased to hear you like my submissions! The logos will print well in black&white, I will show you and answer the question a bit more thoroughly later, just wanted to stop by and say I have seen your comments. I will present some other font options too; I have always loved the 'filmatic' font of entry 181 but it is a bit more challenging than a more conventional/traditional looking typo of course. You'll hear from me later!
Here's a couple of new font choices. I have also put one of them in black and white for reference. It is no problem printing this in black and white, and even if using a PMS colour, the gradient can be put in a channel so that one colour print can be made (sorry, I don't know how familiar you are with the printing terminology, but I'd of course be happy to provide various formats and help as needed). These are also of course all vector logos and can be scaled as large or small as wanted. I think the logo looks best on a black background, but it works in an inverted style as well. But I'd rather recommend to have the logo on a black box and then put the box on the white background if needed. Those things should be tested when relevant and I can provide the variations needed.
Here we go; #180 with colors and typography as #205. I made two variations where the difference is only the size of the flowers. I have several other variations on transparency, size, typography etc here and I have submitted the ones I think works the best and are most balanced, but please feel free to request to see further variations as well, that is no problem.
I quite like the one you suggested here, I think it works very well and I *really* think the color adds an edge and personality to it and that the palette represents the film media in both a traditional yet modern way. Both of the two directions are variations on the same subject; the classic film laurel as a quality stamp executed in a subtle modern style. With danger of sounding pompous, I think it spans and shows respect both to the old classical film media, and also to the newer more modern films and the new digital media.
I like the two directions for different reasons. The "complete flower" I like because I think the idea is easy to see, it's both a tribute and a pastiche to the laurel, and with an 'Amsterdamish' touch of tulip course. I like the more abstract one for more visual reasons - I think it leaves you with a very strong feeling of film without having to shout it out, I think it's subtle yet strong in a slightly mysterious way. So as you can tell I have difficulty choosing a favourite myself, but I hope my thoughts above can be helpful.:) And if you decided to go with either one of these I'll of course provide more variations on the details beyond the end of the competition too if requested.
Excellent! Thank you so much. Yes, its very difficult to decide between these! I have not seen this style before. It looks like an x-ray or ghost of the flowers. Love it!
