Ann Cavitt FisherLogo Design Contest

My sincerest apology to you. Please don't be offended. I can tell you this happens all the time with contest holders and it has happened to me, personally, several times. You are right: I was out of line in expressing my frustration this way but I ask you to please accept my apology.

I'm sure this isn't easy as you compete. I know from looking at your profile that you are often successful. Another designer came up with something I liked better -- which so had nothing to do with your designs. I didn't appreciate your tone or your line of inquiry in your communication with me. I did not say anything in my survey response, but I would tell you, I am offended -- and it affects my perception of working with LogoTournament.

I couldn't tell from the entry numbers which came in first. Thanks for clarifying. Sometimes when your so close it gets really frustrating. My apologies to you but so many times I have lost a contest this way.

Good luck with the blog and thanks for considering me.

Their initial submission with the pen and bird, the line drawing was shorter. My comment asked them to combine their first and second ideas.

The designer added the pen to the bird on another submission before my comment. I simply asked the designer to combine THEIR TWO IDEAS. It had nothing to do with yours.

Hi Ann. I was just looking at the comments and direction that you have to pink where you asked him/her to add the pen to their bird. This was my concept to have the pen connected to an object whether a bird or a plane. I really wished you had asked me to make my design more feminine or whatever was lacking but I didn't think it was fair to ask them to connect the pen. They should have had the integrity to ask whether or not that was your idea or another designers. Anyhow, best of luck to you.

I've sent a set of images to colleagues and family to get feedback. I really like your design. I'm not sure there's anything else to do at this point, I just have to make a decision.

Ok, thanks. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

It was his or her concept to use the bird line drawing.

Yes, sorry but what I meant was that his own concept or did he get that from you?

It's a line drawing of a bird, not a plane.

Hi Ann. I noticed that the first place designers concept is very similar to mine. Did he come up with that or did you ask him to do it? A pen and a plane attached by writing is not something I would think would be obvious.

Thanks!

I am trying :)

Of course.

I still like this one better than the new one.

I cannot see other designs but even if I could I can't take another designers concept or idea. If you want to give me any direction to improve my own design that is much appreciated.

Thanks!

I'd say yours and one other are my two favorites. Can you see the other designs at this point?

Hi Ann. Anything else I can do to get back in first? :)

I like it very much!

Changed the color on the tagline...

Ha! Yes you are right, especially around the plane. LOL. I just tried to think of a subtle way to add photography. Simpler is always better :)

Realized that this might look like a missile lock symbol to some people, so the free-flying airplane is my favorite.

I am keeping the same look on the website for now . . . but I don't want to hinge the selection of my logo on that.

It may be time for me to try another Wordpress theme, (not easy since not many themes offer the layout options I want) or to take the big plunge and move over to a Wordpress.org site.

Thank you for all of your time this morning.

Sounds good, just let me know. I'll work on the color in a bit. I need to step away for a time. Are you keeping the same layout of your website?

I like it -- smart use of the autofocus square. Not sure if I like it was well as the free-flying plane. I'll have to live with it and stare at it for a little.

Thanks for all your feedback. I wanted to show you this option with a slight photography reference...

The more I look at this one, the more I like it. I realize this whole process runs for a few days so it's too soon to say, "this is it" -- but I'm certainly feeling like this one expresses what I want.

I've been using a darker teal green on my web site (will include a link), and I'd like to try the tagline just a shade closer to that color --

Sounds good :)

Yes. And now I'm looking at the two again, and think you were right to change the typeface . . . number 29 is looking great to me.

Is this better?

Its because the fonts were different. I can just move the entire graphic down a bit if you would like.

I was comparing this one #34 to #29 -- and it looks like there is more space between the plane and the text in this one as compared to #29 (where the plane also tilts upward)

Its because the plane is more tilted up. Do you want me to change it?

Looking good, but the wing tip of the plane seems to have moved further away from the V in Cavitt.

Sure thing. Here you go :)

Like the plane better :)

I really like this one. The slight upturn of the airplane is good. Could you try this one with the grungier typeface in the others?

Good morning, Ann. I updated this with the other pen...

You have a great night :). I'm in no rush.

I'm liking the first one with the pen graphic better. Playing around with the tagline on the two lines is a good idea.

I made some tweaks to this one. I actually will be away from my computer for the rest of the night but I'll happy to make any more changes in the morning.

Thanks again!

As I'm looking at it, I'd like the tag line to be easier to read. I love the typewriter font for my name, and I think the graphic is great. I like the font for the tagline, but it's hard for me to read right now.

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you like it :) Let me know if there is anything I can do to improve.

Thanks!

Now, I like this one :)

Thanks for submitting. I'm not wild about either the graphic on this one -- too mod, or this particular script font.

Hello there. I hope you like my concept. I am happy to make any changes if you like just let me know. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!
