I like the new imagery but how can we spruce it up a bit and add some color? We are hoping to advance this not only as a website but as a brand itself. Not sure if this has the visual recognition to stand alone and define the brand.
Geoffrey, I will work on incorporating some color for you. The primary idea I was working with to create this look was your mention of a "stamp" look. I shot this photo of a chess piece and worked on it overnight so that it would be in keeping with the stamp/abstract look. I thought a chess piece was the perfect symbol of wisdom and strength that you mentioned in your brief. Glad you like it....I'll keep working :)
Thank you for your recent submissions. Some of our investors have asked to see some logos that are of a different genre. Thats not to say we won't ultimately decide to stick with the designs we already have. Please check out our updated contest brief as we haave made some changes in what we are looking for. Thank you again and we hope you will continue to submit new designs as we have extended the contest for a few more days.
