Business Beyond BordersLogo Design Contest

Thank you so much for the invitation to your contest. My initial concept is #239. Please let me know if this is at all along the lines of what you are looking for or would like to see anything else?

Best Regards, Faith

thank you the initial entry ins intersting… But I am trying to get away from the Bs in the logo…. I hope you have time to submit something else to me before it closes, as I could envision you making into the finals based on your portfolio.

What I am looking for now, is someting that focuses on the words Business Beyond Borders (no bs or abstract symbols, but the words in a typographic style logo, even with some creative play on the letter in the words themself (like the first ranked logo, although what I do not like about that logo, is it looks like the words are misspelled…..Beyond and Borders are the two words to focus on…

Keeping my fingers crossed to hear from you again before the next 5 hours… thank you!!!!!

Me again…… I did not rate this logo only because I do not want the others jumping on the three Bs again….. But i hope to have you confirm your interest to be in the top 5 (and if you could send another logo before close, that would be great, although i know you must be sleeping…
REM

Congratulations!!!! I will post an updated Brief in about 6 hours….

Please if you could begin to think about Fresh fun ideas aroud BEYOND and BORDERS…
I like typography things…

P.S. I like the script, but please no Bs……. (I know I know, there are three Bs in the name…..:)

Is there any type of picture we can incorporate into the BeYond concept (I really dont like abstract people too much….

All the best.

and as I consider you an expert i would like your feedback: What type of logo works best for Webpage, and blogging… Most of the use will be for the web, blogs, etc… Please let me know your thoughts.

And I am a biologist living in the wine country, which is why I LOVED so much the wine contest.. wish I could think of a way to do something in that direction also here… Please let me know if you have any questions from me.

Would it be useful to let you know which of your logos in your portfolio I am CRAZY about…?

… sorry forgot to say, that while the three Bs are out, the script is VERY NICE

one idea to work nature in: a sunset on the horizons (in gold)….. we did have one nice entry going in this direction, but it was not complex enough for me

Hi REM,

Thank you for all of your imput and suggestions. Here is another option #331. I will work on some others as well. And yes, please feel free to let me know which of my logos you like as the direction might be helpful :)

Regards, Faith

Hi there,
Thank you for the next logo, and please stay with the script format you have and think Wine Label….. That was SOOO excellent, and I find the standard thing really quite BORING….Please go away from the direction of your second submission. I will look at your portfolio now.

But the Wine Label is EXCELLENT

Sorry, just re reading…. Please stay with the caligraphy style script (in the direction of the Bs from the first logo, please do something very different than we have now, and please go in the white direction.. Think Beyond Borders wine label…..

I really like your Fern Hill Logo, Your cornerstone logo, Elm logo….

Please go in the light color background, as this will be on the website… Thank you.

Can be also more use of gold like the wine label…. (rank 2)…. I am going to as everyone to go away from the black for the time

This is the direction I would like to go, and i am sorry, but I think it is going to take a bit of logos to get us there…… Could you envistion a bit of Bluish-purple here? Perhaps the sun at the top of the hill with some rays (abstract but artsy, where you know it is the sun and hill? Can yo up please give me more in this direction, and feel free to give me your comments and feedback and dont just follow my thoughts (I need your help)

Hi REM,

Again, thank you so much for all of your imput. It's great to work with a CH that is truly involved in the process.

Please let me know what you think of #361. I tried incorporating rays into the sun, but everything I tried just looked hokey to me and I wanted it to keep a sophisticated look of simplicity :)

Please let me know if you would like to see anything else?

Regards, Faith

Hi Faith (if that is your name it is a GREAT name)…
I Love what you are doing, thank you, and thank you for not getting frustrated with my ongoing comments… This IS and important process for me : new company launch and I am hoping to ATTRACT many different customers….

The new entry looks great, the only question I have (because I do not know how this works)…. Do you think the script my be difficult to read on a web page , I like the look but maybe if it were just a TAD bit sharper but still artistic…
I am going to send you another question but privately.
Kind REgards,
REM

Yes, thank you so much, Faith is actually my name :) I hate it, but have never been able to think of anything to change it to, lol

I understand what you're saying about the font and will work on some other options. Since you mentioned the wine label, I tried to keep the font in a similar vane.

And just so you are aware, comments made on this page are private until the contest is complete (Wasn't sure if you new that)

Regards, Faith

#363, #364 Let me know if either of these is any easier to read or I can keep working on it :)

They both look good to me… I will rank one in now, in number 1!!!! :)

Hey, just a thought, do the two hills at all remind you of breasts?…. should we add a small third hill in the distance, or make one a bit smaller . Maybe it is just me….

lol, gosh, I hope not! I will work on it, just let me know which font you prefer?

Just ranked it… thank you :)

#365 with a revision of the mountain range. Hopefully it solves the problem :)

I think it does…. thank you.

Hi Faith,
I will want to play around a bit with the font. Is the font in entry number 360 a standard font? Perhaps it is a bit easier to read? Also, whichever logo I go with at the end, (and i am closing the contest tomorrow at 12 noon German time), is it customary to work out these last details together after closure, or does that have to be done before the contest closes? I do not know the rules about that, and would appreciate your feedback based on your 636 contest entries?

Thank you!

Did you mean #361? If so, yes, that is the way the font comes. I am happy to make any adjustments if that one is the font you like best so that it is more readable.

Any additional tweaking can be done either now or after the contest, whichever you prefer :)

Please let me know if you meant 361 and want me to tweak the font?

Thanks, Faith

p.s. I am on my way out for a bit and will be happy to make any additional changes when I return.

Thanks Faith. I meant the other entry from another artist.. 360 entry.. Just wondering if that is kind of standard.

I am signing off too will look once more in the morning and then close the contest.

Kind Regards
Renée

#368 Please let me know how this font works?

Thanks so much, Faith

Hi Faith,
Feedback from a friend: Can you try one, where BEYOND BORDERS is of equivalent value (either by stacking the Business (staggering it, so that the other two are of equal value). I actually like the idea of focusing on the two words rather than just beyond, but really like the way the logo looks…..
So ; I am off to bed, and then will check everything in the morning.

Have a good rest of the day,
REM

Congratulations Faith! I will need to finalize a couple of things with the fonts, perhaps. but this is the winning entry. I have a bit of urgency to get business cards printed as I have a meeting in the US in one week!!!!! Will send you a private message next.

Kind Regards,
Renée
