hi JMHdezine,

thanks for working on our logo....

#77 is our favourite of the two...can you try putting the image on the right side but still balancing out the text...we like the font/typeface by the way.....

for #87 would have to get in closer to the owl face so the viewer can understand the wisdom of the owl as well as it's heart shaped face.....please give it a try...!

thanks

Thank you so much for the feedback. #95 with the image to the right. Please let me know if you would like to see anything else and I will work on the owl :)

Best Regards,
Faith

#101 is another version of the owl which hopefully shows off the heart better.

hi there, could you please give the heart/key concept a try?

thanks,

shirin

Hi shirin,

I had done a heart key in entry #109. Did you just want a key without the owl?

Faith

Hi Faith,

To answer your question, yes a heart/key concept without an owl.....perhaps also consider the high end look of the link I sent in the brief update....

http://99designs.ca/logo-design/contests/barn-owl-auctions-needs-logo-74728/entries/7827932

For this circular look, you could try the heart key instead of the owl or even the owl itself if you like.....

Thanks!

Shirin

Hi Faith,

I've updated the brief to allow more colour and focusing in on only the heart/key concept now (no owls)....

Please send us your ideas!

#139 An option for a key design. Please let me know if there is something else you would like to see.

Regards,
Faith

Hi Faith

#139 is very pretty...thank you for this idea

here are a couple of things we'd like to see:

- 'by DESIGN' in purple instead of 'CAREERS'
- no bird in the heart of the key

also how about a version with some type of rounded box around the whole thing or around the words? something to make it look like it all fits together?

Hi shirin,

Here's a couple using the box idea #140, #141 Hopefully this is what you had in mind. Please let me know if there is anything else :)

Regards,
Faith

Hi Faith,

#237 and #238 are very beautiful and creative logos....thank you for showing them to us...

if you are able to, please submit your idea for a sun concept/logo as we're almost settled on going for that now...

#238 the round circles look very nice, can you use these to make a sun with yellows, oranges?

no heart needed ....thanks...

#250 is very nice ... is it possible to have some (small) sun rays? just want people to know its a sun and not just circles......

#307 with some rays added. Please let me if there is anything else :)

Regards,
Faith

Thanks for the changes to #307, Faith.
Is there a way to have rays that make the design a little less complex? perhaps fewer rays or less detailed.

ALso #250 is really bold, striking and clean - I really like that. Is there a way to add rays or a glow without losing those qualities? Many thanks

Sure, I will work on that, thank you! :)

#342, #343 Let me know if these are what you had in mind or would like to see something else.

Regards,
Faith

Hi Faith,

Please add rays directly to #250 without changing the sun....

Also, can we see this with the sun on the right side of the words.....thanks..

#344 I'm so sorry I changed the sun a bit, I'm a tweaker :) Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see?

Regards,
Faith

Hi Faith,

Thanks for all the updates.

#344 can you make the center part of the sun graphic a little larger (same size as in #250) and draw two versions

1) rays in yellow only and

2) rays in yellow and orange just like it is right now in #344

also for #249 I'd like to try something ... please put the words on top of the sun so that the sun looks like it's rising in the background....let's have a version of this with rays and without....

thanks for all your work on this....

Hi shirin,

I'm not sure I'm clear on make the center of the graphic larger? 344 is the same as 250 only the entrie circle has been scaled down due to the addition of the rays. If I just make the center on 344 larger it will change the look of the whole circle, is that what you want to do? If you could clarify for me, I would appreciate that.

Thank you so much, :)
Faith

#365, #366, #367 Hopefully I got them right :)

Hi Faith,

Yes that's what we'd like to see #344 larger...

I'm looking at your updates right now and will respond back shortly...

Hi shirin,

What I did was just make the center rings larger not the entire center graphic. I was not clear on that so let me know if you want the entire sun larger, etc.? I'm not quite sure what exactly you want larger. So sorry for the confusion :)

there's something about #250 that just works for us.... :)

maybe you could just add rays to it to make this a simpler request....!

Ok, #368, #369 are the same size center as 250 only with rays. I hope I got it right :)

thanks, Faith, that's what I was looking for....

just to be complete for #250 and #249 can you please put the suns on the right of the words.....whenever you get a chance....thanks...

#382, #383 on the right. Please let me know if there is anything else :)

Regards,
Faith

that's all, for now ;)

Hi Faith,

Ok let's continue with your design...I'm sure we can wrap this up soon...let's work from #382

- please do not adjust the size of the sun anymore (or anything to do with the graphic); it looks great!
- only changes we're looking for are in the typeface:
- the "BY DESIGN" must pop out, not the "CAREERS" so please do what you feel is necessary for this to happen but keep in mind that we want everything to look balanced (so perhaps bolding the BY DESIGN part and not the CAREERS is one idea to achieve this as well as less character to character spacing in CAREERS and more in BY DESIGN)
- let's try increasing the size of all the text so that it matches the height of the sun (I think everything will look more balanced this way)
- also please try some different fonts that you feel represent a professional, premium service
- also please try some different colors for the typeface itself (such as greys, browns, etc...)

I hope I haven't overwhelmed you but some tweaking on the typeface to really nail the design is what I'm looking for....

Hope to hear from you soon,

Shirin

ps. if you want to try some different (off white-ish) backgrounds for maximum 'pop'/'wow' factor please go ahead...ultimately we are looking for a VERY bold high contrast look but it has to look premium and professional.....

Ok, thank you! I will work on those :)

Regards,
Faith

#384, #385 I know you said not to change the size of the sun, but I did need to scale down the entire logo in order to fit it in the window :) There is a sample of both grey and brown. Please let me know if there is anything else.

Regards,
Faith

#386 Another font option.

#385 looks great, I think the brown in the text helps to make it overall more pleasing....BY DESIGN looks good now!

regarding the black and white version, I find the graphic looks quite messy when printed (all of our print will be in black+white)...is is possible for you to look at that and improve (perhaps just cleaning up the graphic to more of an outline look)?

(final logo comes in a transparent version, various colors for text I suppose and black+white version, right?)

#387 and #388 Here are a couple additional font options. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see :)

Hi Shirin,

Thank you so much for choosing my design! I will be out for a bit but will put together the final files when I return and get them over to you. Please let me know if you would like to discuss the greyscale, black and white, etc. versions.

Best Regards,
Faith
