ArtistBound.comLogo Design Contest

Please make the following edits -

1) Make the AB in the background a bit darker, it's too light grey right now.
2) Incorporate a path or some type of winding road / hot air ballon to symbolize a journey

Thank you very much for the rank and feedback, will update show the specified changes soon.

I love #54….but swap out the background 'ab' for something that signified a journey. perhaps a sunrise over hills or a path or a road….take creative liberty.

Thank you, what about the air hot air balloon? You had indicated that before, I had made a few eg #55. Will work on a few more ideas.

ya I feel like the hot air balloon only looks good if its going over hills or something. Just the hot air balloon by it's self makes us look like a hot air balloon company

#54 is so close to it. perhaps the 'ab in the back ground can be manipulated to resemble a path

also perhaps move the '.com' to lineup with the right side and make it the same color as the background grey

Ok no problem, I understand what you mean with the air balloon, thanks for that feedback. Will do a few designs, and upload soon, Thanks.

#94, made more of a path out of the AB, working on a few more ideas.

#94 looks good, but how about instead of the AB shaped as a path, just have a path and no AB.

Please see #155 as an update to your request for a path. I however had to remove #94, as in hindsight it was soo close in comparison, concept wise, to a fellow designer. I will upload a few variations of #155 momentarily

#160 and #161, updates to path

#160 is so close. It's exactly what I asked for but it's not quite it. It looks tooo bland…hmmm….perhaps have the end of the trail flow into the '.com' so it looks like its part of the side of the path. maybe the path should be going into some hills. I can't put my finger on it, but it's an art site so it needs to be creative. Through some ideas at me.

I was thinking in a similar direction, for a variation...with mountains the in background, or the sunrising at the end of the path. Ill come up with a few, an update in a few hours

perhaps turn the AB into an easel

Thats a nice one...ok ill be looking into a few more ideas that can work, and will upload my take soon. Thanks for the feedback, it helps.

Please see #191 and #192

A few variations of AB concept, with path embedded.
#220 #221 #222 #223 #224

On #54, can you remove the .com and throw 1) a black border around the AB letters and 2) a shadow under the AB.

After making the above edits on #54, can you also incorporate the "road" / "path" in #160 in this logo as well without changing or altering the AB letters (Maybe use the path/road as a 3rd layer). We love the AB cursive letters but we also don't want to make them seem as if the letters are vampire stakes in the grounds symbolizing being held down

On no problem, will make the adjustments and upload soon

Oh I totally forgot to mention, that only the # 1 ranked designer can upload during the judging mode. I'd have to be ranked first to upload the modifications. I have completed the updates to the border and shadow, working on combining both the path and AB.

You can now leave an updated logo - We have extended the contest.

Just updated two #234 and #235

Very nice - now let's throw a shadow under neath the AB, let's go back 1 shade lighter in the AB and let's incorporate a winding road without changing the font of the AB (add winding road as layer 3) and we should be set!

Nice...by shadow, do you mean a drop shadow, there is one under #234, I can enhance it abit to make it more visible...will update soon.

I mean shadow as in under the AB not behind it. I hope that makes sense.

#236 #237, let me know what you think.

We are having trouble deciding between your logo and one other. We are taking a vote now. We will have the decision soon. Please stand by. thanks

on #237 can you place the 'AB' between 'artist' and 'bound' and can you take off the bottom of the 'A' that looks like a stake. So just have the bottom of the 'A' end when it hits the bottom of the "B"….so just erase the very bottom stake looking part from the bottom of the 'AB'.

on #237 can I see a version with the right side of the "A" on the "AB" as a paint brush and the bottom of the "A" that looks like the stake….have it be the tip of the brush

Thank you for the rank, will make the adjustments and upload momentarily

#238 is nice. Could you make the following edits please to #238 -

1) Please put the winding road under the word "Bound" like it is in #236. But keep the width and shape of the road as it is in #238.

2) Please make the part of the "A" that sticks out of the "B" a paint brush. This part looks like a flag pole in the ground and symbolizes being tied down. We want that portion of the "A" sticking out to be a paintbrush.

3) Please make it so it looks like that pant brush itself drew the winding path in this logo.

4) Please move the word "Artist Bound" up about a 1/4 inch so that the word "Artist Bound" is where the B intersects the A at the highest point. Also please space out the words Artist Bound by 1/8 of an inch.

Ok no problem, working on it right now.

#255 & #256

#255 is amazing. Could you just remove the black fill inside the paint brush tip and have it as a black outline on the paint brush tip only?

ok thank you for the additional feedback, will update the paintbrush etc.

Just to be clear - please do not remove the outline on the AB letters just remove the black filling from the paintbrush tip and outline the paintbrush tip.

I think if the tip of the brush was a bit bigger it would be more clear

Please see updates.

1) Could you please make the paint brush look like this: http://grlmgor.deviantart.com/art/Paint-Brush-90324599

2) Could you also please make sure the brush tip itself has streaks going down just the brush portion as it is in the picture above.

3) Also please color the tip of the paint brush, just the tip, the same grey color as the road.

All the edits above are only in reference to the paint brush TIP not the paint brush itself. Just to clarify, all feedback above is only to be done on the TIP/brush part of the paint brush.

#258 is amazing! Can you put back the shadow of the "AB" though, like you had it before...cast down onto the path. Perhaps have the paint brush painting the left side of the path instead of the right so there is space for a shadow to be cast down the path. Thanks

Please see updates.

Please throw a shadow on #261 without turning or moving the letters. I think we should be good after that.

Shadow of the "AB" is what I mean on #261.

Also if you could put maybe 3-4 very thin black lines on the paint brush TIP after putting in the shadow, we should be set!

Ok thanks for the feedback...there are actually a few lines in the tip, may need to make them a little bigger, or maybe make them a different colour, are you opposed to a different colour within the tip....say black or a dark grey....i know the tip would need to correspond with the colour of the path, but it may need a darker colour to make it more visible at the size its at presently.

Can you try making the black lines in the tip bolder? I think 3-4 black in the tip lines should do. Also, once you put the shadow on on the path without moving/changing the "AB", that should be good!

And yes to your question - please make the 3-4 bold lines in the brush tip Black.
