Dear CH, thank you for the comment and suggestion. I have revised the design as you suggest and I hope it's better... :) Please feel free to comment or ask. Cheers.
I definitely like the original one better which is fine because most of the items it will be printed on will be lighter colored. But for the website and other possible darker items, can I see the gray lighter? And can you make the slogan a little bolder because I am afraid it will not reproduce well if we choose to embroider it or print it on smaller items. We need different options.
When I look at the logo enlarged and next to the website, the gray looks fine. It's when it's smaller that it looks too dark. Perhaps bolder font to adjust that instead of lighter gray?
Please be aware that I am only one of 5 in our office that will be making the final decision on the logo. Each have their own 'favorites' for one reason or another. So the ranking is not set in stone.
Also - I know I have mentioned this to some of you, but the logo needs to be able to have two versions (darker colored backgrounds like the website and light colored marketing items). It also needs to be embroidered. So tiny lettering may not reproduce well.
I think you have all done a great job! I thank you for all of your hard work!!
Dear CH, thank you... as per Logotournament rules, it's only first ranked designer who can submit any revision. I mean, if you still want to see the white background version, rank me on first, even its temporarily... I hope this make sense...
