It is a beautiful symbol. It looks exactly like the gate to the monastery in Soroe. But we worry that it won't work on the other towns/sites. We need something more generic. Also we like the red brick colour which is more Danish. The font looks fine.
i actually inspired myself from your old logo... i'm not familiar with that monastery. but, please, the web is full of generic logos, whatever you do, NO generic. although is your money , your rules :)
I think we kinda agree :) We need something concrete, allright, but something that is general enough to suit a lot of different towns (quite old and small towns). The symbol will be standing next to different town names: Sorø, Ringsted, Roskilde etc. Could you please try a different (more red) brick colour? Also could you remove the square/triangular bit just on the top of the opening? We worry that the circle in the top look too much like a moon - can you change that somehow?
if you have a particular red in your branding direction, a code would be helpful. either way, there are some differences between the colors we see and you see , (operating system, display color profile, stuff like this)
thanks - still a bit too "alarmist red" - we probably need it leaning more towards brown than orange. Also could you please submit a version with black text?
now, as i see it, another designer already did that . so i cannot do it .it's considered a copy. of course unless you asked that , but... a logo with a mouse /pointer arrow...wouldn't this confuse the one that navigates With a mouse...? at one point he/she wouldn't be sure which arrow it is...:))
We asked "insignificart" to add the arrow. But we have decided against the arrow, so don't bother. I'm gonna ask you for just one more thing today: could you please submit a version with a lighter text (less heavy/bold)?
We are going to look at them with fresh eyes tomorrow. Thank you very much so far for your cooperation.
We seem to be in agreement about choosing your picture. However, 1 person strongly object to the colour red. I personally insist on the brick colour.
But could you please make a black or dark brown version with a hint of red, perhaps where you've indicated the bricks?
Also could you please make a version with a more brownish red, like https://www.colorcodehex.com/980000/ If you google images of "Sorø Klosterport", it will appear very brown, but there should definately be a hint of red in the symbol.
Finally, we would like to see the symbol next to the following texts: "Dit Sorø" and "Dit Kalundborg" (examples of towns)
When we make a deal we need to know the name of the font, you've chosen, so we can use the same font when we go into a new town. Consequently, we also need a file with just the symbol and a file with the symbol + text. I hope you're ok with this.
i have no problem with that. when the contest is completely over, i shall provide you with my email address, so maybe i can help you with changing the name in time, when you will need it. the color will be the right one only in the final eps file .
thank you, we are selecting you as the winner now. I have to order som t-shirts today with the new logo, so please send us something today :) signe@byportalerne.dk
