Hi Mam! My Take on your logo, Hope you like the idea of dividing a pentagon to form a star( as each 5 side of pentagon as five friends coming together for one event -star ) . Hope you like the simple and memorable logo for all five friends. Your feedback will help me to serve you my best.
P.S - I don't use the pirate theme coz every year the theme will differ but the friends logo will be the same as friends .
Thank you for being the first to take on this unique challenge. It is still early and late here in Arizona. I have ranked the first wave and 5 versions but will try to give more feedback in the morning. At first look, I prefer the designs with the black/filled in star. It looks richer and more refined. This is a nice simple look. It is straightforward but with your explanation it gives me much more meaning - and I can see explaining it when the logo is unveiled. Stars are very representative of Texas...yellow rose, stars etc - so I think he will like those in a design and the symbolism of 5/pentagon. It may be a bit too rough but I am not sure yet what else to say. It looks a little like a subway token or parking token.
Hi Mam! I have update the revision for entry#5, Hope you like it too, Feel free to ask if you need any changes, your feedback will help me to serve you my best.
I like the color/bronze in #11 and 12 and the added depth or almost 3D feeling of the revisions, but I do not liek the overall design. It reminds me of a police badge. Sorry.
I do not like the badge in #11-12 but I do not want to remove them both since I still like the bronze color and depth. Look for new feedback in general on the brief. I will move one to non-interesting since I do not see these being selected.
You are doing some great work and I appreciate that you take my feedback. I am sorry but #15-18 still contain that shield shape and it looks like a policeman badge. I would avoid that shape and I am going to move them out of the ones I am considering. Seeing a few designs has helped me realize what I want and also what I do not want.
I just added new comments after looking at first entries and gave some different direction. I would re-read the brief or the comments in the contest discussion for more specifics.
While I originally said to make it about the event...and Mike Cavers...I do not think that should be the overriding image after-all.
These are great revisions but I am still missing something compared to some I ranked higher.
#62 and 61: I know you have the 5 guys and then a star but it makes it like there are 6 things when it is 5 guys? I see and think of 6 as I look at the design. Looks a little feminine...like a flower?
And the star is lost hiding behind all of the design for 75 and 76.
77-79...just a bit hard to read...items in your designs are small...Think rugged, think manly. I might even switch the direction of the names in the half moon shape...it would look like a moon then...these are very elegant but maybe not rough or strong enough? I am only trying to help...they just don't stand out to represent the key elements of Texas, star, baseball...it is lost on the pretty shiny coin or medallion?
