ardalisLogo Design Contest

Now that your contest has ended, I believe you can share your contact information with me.

If you do, I will contact you directly from my personal email.

All the best,

Steve

Ok, thanks, will check it out.

As a follow-up to my last comment, here is the Client Help page for this type of enquiry - "If You Like More Than One Design".

Hello,

It would be great to work with you on a separate project.

It is against the designers' code of conduct to provide our personal contact information whilst your contest is still active but, once you have selected your winner (and, assuming it is not me), please send me a message using LogoTournament private messaging (I do not have the option initiate a conversation) with your ardalis email address and I will liaise with you directly.

Kind regards,

Steve

This is my favorite of the variations you've done. It's looking like it won't be the overall winner, but I have a separate project that I might want to use the symbol (or something close) on. After the contest, can you reach out to me via ardalis.com? Thanks.

A variation to the 'knot' concept, that transforms it into an 'impossible' block arrangement.

Thanks again for all your feedback and suggestions.

I've uploaded #174, which takes the idea of three parallelograms and expands it into an Escheresque 'knot', retaining the arrow in the negative space.

Do you like this development?

It's late here, so I am about to log off for the night, but I will work on colour treatment variations to #97 as you have suggested first thing tomorrow.

Ran a survey and this one got a lot of top picks. If you have some time to try a couple more variations, that might help. I like the 3-D look of it. Some ideas from comments: try it without the gradient; try more interesting color(s) for the word (ardalis) vs. just gray. I'm curious if you could make it into an optical illusion (a la Escher), as another idea.

I understand.

I'll take a good look through everyone else's entries and, if I can come up with a concept that is different enough from those you already have, I will certainly submit it.

Meantime, if you would like to see any further variations to #97, please let me know.

All the best,

Steve

Yeah, of all the ones in this style I think #97 is best, but I'm not sure I love it. Thanks.

I've uploaded a couple of variations.

On a personal level, I'm not enthusiastic about the blue-to-grey transition (#121). Maybe the shades I've selected are wrong and I will experiment further.

I also created an all-blue version (#120). Again, I think this might work better if the contrast between light and dark shades is greater, but wanted to get your thoughts before flooding your contest with lots of slightly-different submissions.

Have a great weekend!

Regards,

Steve

Cool, I think this is an improvement on #74, thanks. What I was wondering (and you tell me if you don't think this would work) was if each of the 3 parallelograms could have the same color gradient from light gray to blue, such that there would be different colors where the shapes overlap.

I'm not a designer so that could be an awful idea - feel free to tell me so. :)

Hello and thanks so much for your feedback.

I've uploaded a revision (please see #97) - is this the sort of look you had in mind?

Best regards,

Steve

I like the origami look of this. Would it be possible to stand it up (so the base is horizontal) and perhaps try to make it use just 2 colors (dark blue and gray)? I realize there are 3 sides - what I'm curious is to see if you made each of the 3 sides a gradient going from one color to the other, then you could still do the shadow effect to make give it a 3D appearance (I hope). Thanks.
