Antique Woods & Millworks of Ohio L.L.C.Logo Design Contest

Yes thank you and it was a very hard decision. You are all talented designers that will do well!

Yep, Won't argue. We are not allowed to discuss other designer's proposals and educate customers how to conduct their business. I am sure you are pro in your industry and you know your customers better. Thank you for the opportunity. It was a nice contest!

Customers bring the money

you're the boss..

I can see it but my customers do not see the meaning of my logo

How about this one?

You've changed the ratings. You don't like my proposal anymore? Do you want me to change/alter smth? Thanks

Some more variations submitted

no problem

Ok thank you

I understand completely and agree and have no problems with that business is business

If you need to change smth in the future you may contact me through the LogoTournament or directly (contact information will be provided later).

Currently, I am out of State. Exactly we're not allowed to communicate outside the platform during the open contest. You will be able to contact me directly after contest is finalized. Rules are rules.

And I know we're not aloud to exchange info till after it is over and I have no problem with that. Rules are rules I completely understand

And say if I go with you I see you're from the US after the tournament is over can I call and get thinks fixed or changed!? I also understand and it does cost something!

I think I understand. Haha

You will be provided with vector format source files and some supported files. If you have a vector manipulation software (Adobe Illustrator [.ai], CorelDraw, Inkscape, etc) you will be able to change colors, resize the image without a loss, etc). These files are industry standards. This is enough data for further manipulations with graphics like using for business cards and other corporate identity items. If you have vector source files you will be able to pass those files to other designers, illustrators, technicians in a print shop. Additionally, as I said earlier you will be provided with a set of raster supported files which you be able to use right away for your online needs (but they won't be editable). BTW, LogoTournament requires to submit .EPS file and hi-res .JPG files only. Also, keep in mind, that fonts in vector files will not be editable since designers are not permitted to redistribute editable fonts. So if you want to change text you will need to buy them online.

And also the worn look on the lettering

I think we should do the circle on this one also. Makes complete sense for the future and go green kind of thought

Yeah I see that. That's a great idea

Now when I get this logo I can change colors if I get different kinds of clothing correct!?

Made it as a circle (to make the reference to the global meaning)

no problem

Thks for the helpful info.

Ok I wondered if I miss read it a bit

In the Finalists phase the field is narrowed to allow you to work with your top five designers, which can be changed at anytime. The Finalists phase will last for two days, and once complete will move to the Selection phase. They are not obligated to produce 10 different styles (I don't know where you've read that). The purpose of the Selection phase is to work out final revisions with the #1 Designer (if needed), and to select a winner once satisfied. Only the #1 ranked designer can submit logos in this phase. You can still move around ranks any time you wish.

So if I read this correctly. I pick top 5 ppl. They have to produce 10 diff. styles I like and we work from there then I pick 3 of the 5 and pick my finalist from there!?

sure. If you have any questions regarding logo do not hesitate to ask

Do you mind answering some questions how this ends and works abit!? You've been the most helpful to me I do greatly appreciate that

I like that wear factor

Here, the word ANTIQUE has a small grunge/wear effect

True that.

..Every man to his own taste..

I'll be quite honest with you this pic. Has really caught my eye and then you changed the lettering and it just jives. But I guess sometimes it's not what I like it's what the customers like.

Thanks

What do you think of my rating now!? :)

Gotcha

this is a common practice

You just read my mind. Haha

Yes ))

I see what you're saying about too much and simple

Horizontal orientation without a tagline

Keep in mind in case of nomination, you will be provided with vertical, horizontal; with/without tagline versions

A horizontal version with the tagline

A vertical version with the tagline

A stylized piece of wood/lumber with the milling cutter incorporated

What was this pic of again?

Yeah that's definitely a good pick

Kind of cool approach. Vintage and rustic sign for the company. The icon represents a tree where letter A is incorporated inside. Thank you.

Let's change this one to the colors of the vertical one. Black & white is to plain

))

I like your other one better. And the axes look to much like regular/fireman axes

How do you like this one?

Thanks

Ok

..working on different concept for you..

Ok makes sense.

Also true for LLC part

Well, this is a logo. Slogan should be used wisely depending on where you need to place your logo. For example, if you use your logo on a website, probably, you need to use a horizontal orientation of it and slogan could be placed on the right side. If you use your logo on some other corporate identity item (a business card or letterhead) the slogan could be used elsewhere. It really depends on the place and general look and feel. There is no rule that logo necessarily needs to go along with the identity block. Anyway, I will show you the logo with the slogan.

Yes correct. If I look at the pic its like imagination is anything. What about the slogan? Would that be too much

A vertical arrangement. Keep in mind that colors could be applied later

B/W version

Im trying to be open minded but I'm so use to the same ol same ol. Yours caught me off guard and I like it. I do want that wow factor

Apparently, not good enough based on your ratings ))

Yeah I understand! That's good though! I like different

I tried to propose a slightly different approach which is not overused for your industry. Thanks.

A stylized piece of wood/lumber with the milling cutter. Clean, simple and rhymes with the name of the company

What's the picture of?
