Also this is my suggestions if you wants start new contest:
Perhaps you and your team finalize your concept before throw to designers.
Maybe you can prepare 2 or 3 variant concepts so in that new contest you can compare which concept (with visualization) more relevant with your company.
Thank you
Hi,
If i can choose and this just my suggestion maybe you can start new contest with your new "triangle concept". And as your promise you can complete this contest first.
Didn't mean i refuse your project, but I should know my limit. And with new contest you will get a lot of new designs/visualizations from other designers for your new "triangle concept".
The inner triangle here is basically the same as the Blueprint "essentials triangle" in the book and the three corners that come out from the triangle show growth. When you see the book "essentials triangle" and the "Visual summary"...should I use 402, do something else totally, start a new contest and make a version of the logo I sent you, or can you do it if I give you follow on work to execute it on all the cards etc....your thoughts candidly? I'm dying over here
the feedback has been that's it's a great logo and that the bee is great but that it's not matching blueprint. we've asked much from you...not sure what do do
For now I think this designs (arrow bee) is the best solution to visualize your Bee + hexagonal concept.
But I prefer the one without border.
Don't worry if this contest get completed i'm still ready to do small update for my design.
Yes, actually i prefer without border.
Agree it's look limitation also without border I think it's more "simple & modern feel".
About font, i think i prefer font i suggested in my first "arrow bee" proposal #400
what's your thought? do you like it in the font you shared, Myriad or another?
Also, got some feedback that the gold border (which I really like) makes the bee look trapped in and thus no growth. I didn't anticipate that...we'll see what others say but ..what do you think?
Unless have an icon that you have in your mind to see, I'm pretty comfortable with one of the icons you've sent. ALways interested in what you have but this is good. Let's move to typefont. We can use Blueprint or Blueprint Growth in the print but see blueprint without growth just now is winning me over..it's so much cleaner. Your call, you are the expert. My buddy says Myriad Pro is the best typefont because Apple uses. Whatever. Try it in Myriad Pro and if you like it, submit, if you don't, don't even submit. You know what I do, what I want and have better idea what it looks like. Please find the look for the name. Thanks for your diligence. YOu are a dream to work with
PS Thanks for pushing through this and looking for the better idea. This bee/B concept is so much cleaner, says more and is more masculine and fits better. I appreciate you
what is the different between 400 and 401. As the designer, what do you like the best? Whatever it is, can you send it in black and white so I can see what it looks copied? Also, your take...Blueprint or Blueprint Growth? Does it help to have one word? My instinct is that it in fact does help to have it one word
I really like it. I will still test the other against this but I like it. The gold hexagon in previous example was strong..does this need a hexagon border?
Here i try with different idea,
I left "letter B as wings" concept. Just in my opinion i think that concept didn't reflect anything with your vision. Also letter B as wings have been done many times out there.
I try with "wings as an arrow" concept, which reflects effort and motion to success.
Wow. Lighting on this really pops. It's amazing how shading changes things and for the significantly better. Can you show me how this is going to look in black and white. If I have a worry, it's that the black and white doesn't look as great because you have used what I think are called gradient colors which look great electronically but not so much on flat paper. Please take a shot and show me a flat look that will come out on regular paper.
With that said, if this is the logo, and it likely is (thanks for the multiple efforts btw), do you recommend this type font treatment or was that just to hold the space for now until we settled on a logo?
unfortunately basic on rule of this site, before contest complete i can't upload some kind of how logo look like when applied . I only can upload "logo" it self, nothing more. Hope you understands. Thank you
That's the idea...I'll test that. Any other ideas? That's right idea for sure. Do you have software that shows how that will look on an app? Or on a wall?
Here are Bee and Blue Bee Logos to help you think about designs. Several have B wings and a few even use the hexagon. We'd like the final product to have a hexagon with a great looking Bee and if the Bee had B wings, all the better. If the wings were a B and a P even more interesting
1) a bee with B and P shapes in wings inside a hexagon using blue, blue and black, or blue, gold and black
2) YOUR best take on the hexagon flower diagram in link above that was red. Prefer in Blue or Blue, Gold
3) whatever inspires you based on the links and words above
My final concept having used all imagery and thoughts is going to be a hexagon with honeycomb implication and bee story. I will be ever thankful and want to work with you outside of concept to design business cards, stationary etc if you can figure this out
ok good news is you won. You are easiest to work with and have best designs. Bad news, after reflecting on all things, we need a different concept.
Good news. I have it and it's not an exploration seeking concept but rather an exploration of a concept
Our shape is the hexagon. I have studied all the shapes over last two days and the hexagon is us...it is efficient, it is spiritual, it is geometric. It implies the honeycomb which leads to bees. Blueprint starts with B. Bees are industries, work hard play hard, busy as a be productive beings that live well in community and sustainable
I have put all of your ideas back in the ranking pile so I can think through, look at etc Don't be alarmed as they go back and forth. You are the winner and will be the person awarded. Thank you for your help to date.
Congratulations. You were the designer who had the best ideas and was most responsive. We will work get clear on what we really want, explore everything you've sent and end of day rerank these to get you the best rankings we can. We will be silent for a day or two to get focused and not waste your time. When we are finished, we will come back to you with our thoughts, wait for your concept and move swiftly to completion. HOpefully we cna work together after this on further executions. Are you game for that?
Ok, I rewrote the brief. Can use, "Blueprint to a Billion" "Blueprint Growth" or "Blueprint" ..Please read. .key idea is fast growth (speed) for fast growth companies
Dumb question. If we dumped Billion and it was "Blueprint" only or "Blueprint Growth" would this be easier or give possibility? Like maybe the work Blueprint is large and the I is your rocket? Could growth be a word that is on top of Blueprint to the right..the moon is the O and what the rocket is aimed at? Becomes a typeface logo that has icons in the typeface for specie affect?
I think I like it better standing straight up like this..how about you? two thoughts...should white lines be heavied up so they don't disappear smaller? is font still right for this design? color?
That's interesting. Question: do you think Billion is still Gold or that it changes to either of the two colors here or a complimentary green for wealth? Had an idea from facebook just come in Greek God Mercury's foot with wings. Interesting thought to do a blueprint of a boot with wings on it. Thoughts?
Ok that's a blueprint of the rocket...but it's not on a blueprint paper. I think I have to dump the beautiful kid. CLients don't get it. Makes me so sad
I put most of the ideas you have at the top of the "not interested" pile to give room to work to finish this and so I could compare across easier. Please don't delete them as they are very much alive, just put in a place I can look broader.
as you design, feel free to change the font if you like. Do what you need to..think we need a blueprint of something fast thought. And, I'm thinking about what I can do with your cool drawings so I can buy those also
no animals. Hard to connect that to blueprint. Think I need a material thing that goes very fast and would be in a blueprint. Though, it is intriguing to thing what a lighting or thunderbolt would look like on a blueprint if it was designed by an artchitect. I think trying the rocket you already made is good start. To tie in with the name, the suggestion is to put it on a blueprint.
Here's a quick thought. What if you took this rocket shape, got rid of the kid, turned it into a blueprint and made the blueprint of this rocket on the top of your type font?
Want you to know, I appreciate your time and ideas. Whatever we end up doing, I will buy a concept from you somehow to make sure you got value for your time.
Well, you got me. That's exactly the feedback I got in last hour from two customers. That what we sell is speed. Getting results quicker. They suggested a blueprint of a rocket made more sense..but what they said was that it's about getting a result faster. Show a result faster. Before you spend any time on it (by the way, I filled the contest with three not a chance designers so it's really only you and two others), let's explore the concept.
When I say, clients are telling me that what we provide are results fast and that's what we need to show in a logo, what comes to mind?
I like #240 and #219 too. How did someone in Indonesia get into Mascot design? That's funny. Are you an American living abroad? I have many kids books in mind but never did them because kids books need strong visuals and I don't have that skill. Let's finsih this and who knows:) You have a style that reminds me of "The Carrot Seed" or "Harold's Purple Crayon." Classic.
I'm leaving 4 of your ideas in the incoming logos and may put some in the not interested at time so I can compare them better. Don't be alarmed...they are being looked at.
If someone has one good idea, easy to put in the ranking. When there are so many good ideas that have differences, putting the all in the rankings makes the list long and narrow. Wanted you not to be alarmed
About children book illustration, i never did because i never got project like that before :D. I'm focus on mascot and illustration logo designs. But perhaps i can help if you need something to illustrated.
I am going to be moving these back and forht ...don't be confused...I'm comparing side by side. They will be all over the place...You have given me much to think about. This icon is more intimate. Sweeter. It lacks the explosive ness of the rocket but is so darn clever. The crescent moon on the side. The sail....it's innocent ...so good. Two questions....which is your favorite? Have you ever done children book illustrations.? So simple and good.
I'll test this. You have great abilities and style. I'm not sure this exactly catches the point but I'm trying to change the story to fit it because I like it so much. My business helps people get the foundations to their dreams. We help companies that are $30-300 million get to a billion. The kid touching or reaching the star fits. The airplane is cool...what does the kid on the paper airplane say to you?
thanks for clarifying. I would not take someone else's idea. I probably wasn't clear but I sent a note to the other designer and gave MY suggestion. The only discussion which I copied and pasted in MY words were: What it it was a star and the kid was looking at it with a telescope? Kid could be standing or even laying down, feet kicked up behind him, snuggled up and looking..this would give more perspective. Thoughts?
Just question about your new concept,
is it came from other designer or it's came from you.
If it's came from other designer, sorry i can't do the same because during the contest, other designer idea's can't be shared and i must respect it. thanks
I like the soaring...I just got feedback that said "Ha..they busted you. Even the logo thinks you are full of hot air." Kinda funny...but ..does give chance for a criticism...any other way to capture the same feeling?
We are going to test your idea with a couple others for sure. I have looked through your previous wins and you are a superior designer. The concept that i have ahead of you right now was one I gave the other designer. I am going to share the exact same thought I gave hi and would like to see if it sparks something ...What it it was a star and the kid was looking at it with a telescope? Kid could be standing or even laying down, feet kicked up behind him, snuggled up and looking..this would give more perspective. Thoughts?
Would like to see what this logo looks like without the balloons. I like them but the logo get very long top to bottom. What else could the man be doing?
thought of an easy update. We will have Blueprint to a Billion Sales Training, Sales Management Training, Marquee Customers Training, Assessment Training etc. it would be great to modify the logo with additional type of training ...can you show ONE version that adds Sales Training below the logo?
Thank you for rank and feedback.
I will try to find another ideas for you.
Also is there something need to be update from my designs #147?
Maybe colors or font?
oh my...how fun are you! You are a bright light on a dark night. This is fun, wonderful and excites me. It's really fabulous. Not to be greedy but...any other concepts you have up your sleeve? I can't imagine what other smart, fabulous things you may have! PLEASE take another shot. This is great...wonder if there is another GREAT ER one in you still:)

anthropormorphic bee that has B and P in the wings...
something like that in hexagon with Blue or Blue and Gold would be FABULOUS
Would need appropriate typeface to merchandize that logo
Also intrigued by this execution
