#21 | This is a view looking out from the porch.

Client
I like this #21 and #1, very soothing. I like the font but not sure it will stand out enough on a sign to be read from the road. Can you add "of Cape Charles" so I can see how that looks?

Thank you

Hello,

One of the things that is great about our property is the swing on the front porch, you can feel the trade winds and all of lifes worries go away. in #21 I feel like it is almost getting to that feeling...wondering if you could incorporate a swing or part of a swing? Not sure if I am describing this well.

Thanks Tammy

#52 | Incorporates the swing. Still maintains the front porch trade winds feel. I also strengthened the font and added "At Cape Charles"

I welcome your continued feedback.

Thanks,

I like your changes. Can you do a few more things for us:

* try some different font options for the "of Cape Charles"
* try some other colors for the Bay Haven Inn

Thank you Paul

Hello Paul,

Sorry for not ranking over the weekend, busy with projects trying to get the INN ready to open.

I like the choices you have provided on the design. #55 can you keep as is, but change the font color to a "bay" or marine color green, is there some standard reference I can make to color so I can be more specific? Color is hard to describe isn't?

Thank you

maybe a sea foam green?

#79 | Color update

Client
#79 what about a shade of the same blue in the background of the graphic. We like the font.

Also, we extended our deadline until tomorrow before Judging.

Thanks

Client
me again...

#79 can you add a shape around the entire design and wording. Trying to get a feel on how it would look on a sign.

Thanks

Tammy, Unfortunately Logo Tournament rules do not allow for boarders, signs, vehicles etc... to be used in the display of the logos. (Some do break the rule unfortunately) To try and get around this rule, while still respecting its existence, I have enlarged the viewing size and you can use the boarder placed by the Logo Tournament display to try and get a feel for it. | #82

My apologies. As a high ranking member in good standing, I try to always respect the way they run the site.
We might also ask Admin for an exception. They might permit the display temporarily.

#83 | A slight change in color will improve visibility from a distance.

I really love how this design stays away from the cliches of seaside life. (I have lived all of my life on the coast and am often asked to do the same tired designs over and over.) I love the feel that this creates. It is inviting and shows a different side to the laid back life that those of us on the coast love.

Paul,

I really respect your information on the borders, signs etc...thank you for informing me. I like what you did alot. One piece of feedback I received from a respected colleague was to ask you to clean up the prawns of the palm ( more like they were in entry #1) I very much agree how the design represents what we love of the coast but is not the same old take on it and appreciate you hearing the description of our what we feel our property will be.

I will focus more on this tomorrow and be getting the final feedback we need to make our decision. The work you did with #83, 92 and 93 are really wonderful, LOVE the new colors and increased size.

I agree about the prawns! I think i went a little TOO breezy!

Paul,

Thank you for making the changes. We will would like to work with you over the next week to finalize our logo. I have valued your insight and particularly connected with you over your desire to represent coastal living differently, it rang true with what we are trying to offer. I can see why you rank highly with the company.

I will be away this weekend but wanted to let you know I will be back full speed on Monday. Some things I would like for you to work on if you have a chance. I will be here the remainder of today though.

* #95 we like what looks like "up lighting" of the font, better than the color variation on #94 that goes from light to dark from the top...make sense?
* We would like to play with the color of the background and font...can you provide us with a few blues, greens to choose from? We like #94 and #95 but don't love them yet.
* the font is PERFECT
* your thoughts on the color on cape charles font as well as the lines to right and left, like them but would like to see options just to verify what we like.
* the tightened up prawns look great :-) we are a breezy place so they were probably accurate...hee hee
* please keep #94 and #95 as is so we can compare.

Thanks Paul, have a super weekend!

Hello Paul,

We are back and hope you and I can work this week to fine tune the logo. If we have a shade/color in mind what is the best way to communicate that to you? BTW, not sure if I have said it but we like the enlarged circle of version of the logo.
* Can you show designs #94, 99, 95 in a white background?
* #94 change to the font that is lighter at the bottom
* on all the designs to the left and right of Cape Charles can you give us variations (i.e wavy line, etc...)
* we do not care for the variation in color on designs #96 and 97

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Paul,
We are very close! We love #106 an 105...looking for a shade just between those two designs. Is there a way we can identify a particular color?

i am out of pocket all day tomorrow, Thursday, will check back tomorrow night. I am going to extend the judging thru the weekend because I think we can wrap it up by Monday. Thank you very much.

Paul,

I found a chart on line that I seem to recall is a standard system RGB? (am I dreaming this?)

Anyway, I went to this website http://colorschemedesigner.com/

We like these colors
#01939A
#04819E
#04859D
#03899C
#00999

Don't know if this is helpful or not!
Thanks! Tammy

#107 | seems to combine some elements of #105 and #106.
The two use a totally different shade, so mixing them is difficult.

#108 | This one is inspired by the swatch codes that you referred.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again!

How do we proceed next?
Thank you
