Black Sheep Post and Beam LLCLogo Design Contest

Great design #42.

I like the sheep you designed. It will work great as a stand alone logo on hats and apparel when I use it without the writing. If you could incorperate one timber framing item into the design in a subtle way you would be right on the mark. I had one competitor who had a design I really liked look at adding a framing chisel. Framing chisels are the main tool of our trade. They are long and linear. You can google framing chisel and a bunch of images will come up. Maybe one can be worked in as a linear break between Black Sheep and Post and Beam LLC. I wouldn't want anything in the design changed above Black Sheep

thanks, Jason

PS #41 is a great design as well, but for this application I just want the sheep to stand alone

Hi Jason,

Thank you so much for your feedback. I see that the first ranked designer is also using the chisel as a line break and I would need to know if that was your suggestion to her, otherwise I would not be able to incorporate it into my design as the rules of LT are very strict on protecting any ideas designers bring into the contest. I apologize for any inconvenience and hopefully you are able to understand :)

Best Regards,
Faith

Yes it was my suggestion, if you look at her first entries they did not have the chisel.

and the question is by no means inconvenient.

Thank you, Jason

Thank you so much Jason. I appreciate you letting me know. I have uploaded two variations with the chisel #46, #47 for your review. Please let me know if you would like to see anything else.

Faith

I like the two chisel idea.....the single curved chisel is.....i can put a finger on it, understand the curve is a little artist license....what if it were straight over the post and beam, keep the black sheep curved and ad some design in the space created perhaps.

Sure, I can try that. Do you have any suggestions on a design element that would be related? If not, no worries, I will work on it :)

In other words was there another tool you would like to see incorporated?

#48 What do you think of something like this with a nail in the center?

nice touch

I love the design, the two chisels with the nail inbetween is awsome.

The font is ok, but to make it even better could you try coming with a font that has an older feel other than Times....timber framing is a style of building with origins of when we settled this country. Colonial times

Did you want something more old english in feel? I researched colonial fonts and this one was listed, but if it looks too modern, I will work on something else :)

#49 Does this font work any better?

thank you for all the versions of fonts, it is tough finding one that look old yetg at the same time are not too fancy.

and the nail is great!....you nailed it, bad pun LOL
