Green C, G made out of the c plus the tail in gray. The tail plus a period form an exclamation mark (since you are all fired up!) The C and T also form a talk bubble.
And, that's it. period.
If you have any variations on anything I submit, that you would like to see (colors, fonts, additions, subtractions or just suggestions) please feel free to ask. I would be happy to oblige.
#50 is by far my favorite of the competition. I wish we could keep going on this concept and just see different variations & looks around this. The reason I like this one is because it feels like me. I'm more of an explanation than a conversation. We are FIRED UP! I would love also to try some different fonts etc... This is a good direction. I also like just having two colors in the logo. I don't wan more than that. Let's try to play around a little with it! Thanks
okay. 89 is a little more emphatic. Plus, it has the "speech bubble" both the letters formed by the emblem. An exclamation mark because you are fired up, and now it also has another meaning you can put into it as the C and G together form an arrow that takes a path and points forward and up.
PS: 101 is a slightly refined version of notes mentioned on 89. This has a slight adjustment to the triangle part of the G/exclamation mark, so it holds it's boldness and forms a slightly better g,but also points more upward as well as to your name.
UP is also emphasized in the slogan
Please let me know if I can make any adjustments you think you would like to see.
Numer #96 is my favorite right now for 1 reason... It is so simple and clean. I LOVED what you did with the exclamation point but when I showed my team they all said, "let's keep it simple". So, can you do anything with the name and mark that is just super simple? I'm also open to some red's in the color mix that go with Fired Up. If you don't like my feedback, just let me know. I just want the best logo I can get. Simple always wins with us. Also, nobody has used the actually C in my name and do anything simple with it. Wonder if CaseyGraham.com with the C as a mark could work? We could add the .com and use the mark separate when we need to. Thoughts?
Let's use #98... I like the Font a lot... Take the mark/exclamation point thing away and let's try CaseyGraham.com & the Fired Up Entrepreneur thing under it somehow. Use the red that is kinda like http://churchleaders.com . they use a red that is nice or something around that shade... I like the way you design. Let's work on this and a few versions
Casey, thanks for all the kind comments! One question: did your team see the logo after the white line was removed and the extra shadow (because I did think that made it busier. I am willing to make the change you suggested one way or the other, but would be interested in knowing if their comment was before or after the logo was made more bold and simple. I think the red would add a nice punch. Will definitely try what you suggested.
btw: if you private message me, that allows me to respond to you directly and you don't have to check to see if I have put anything in the comments section on my entry page. I can respond to you directly and/or ask you questions and we both are notified when one or the other has sent something. It tends to be much more productive than hoping someone sees something on the comment page. (The contest holder has to initiate this option: I guess so that designers aren't all sending you something that says "me,me" all the time.
