Bold and clean look! I like it. As I see it, I realize that it may be a bit much to put "Mike Cavers" for his friends to walk around with on a sweatshirt? Maybe without the first name as a small change... I am trying to think if it needs to be called something else or more about the group of 5 versus Mike? More feedbcak to come as I can understand.
I just added new overall comments after looking at first entries and gave some different direction. I would re-read the brief or the comments in the contest discussion.
You have done some beautiful work already. I would like to see some designs using the Black and Gold colors...or at least more rustic/desert colors too. And as you will see in my notes...I do not think the actual birthday or my husband alone should be an overriding image after I gave it more thought.
Like the %) being in here though without saying "50th Birthday"
I think you have wrong comment in this : "#8 will be moved now that I realize it is strange to use the full name. It does not refelct on the quality of the overall design and look"
I don't have entry number #8 : ) and for your next feedback, i will try more variation including black and gold color you wanted
Oops! The comment is actually correct....but my eyes fooled me. It was #6 (not#8)! I may need a trip to the eye doctor soon! I only meant that it seems strange to have the full name, Mike Cavers on a short walking around...so I moved this design over.
I'm Sorry to hear that, hope you get well soon : ) It's okay you move my design to NI (Not Interested), it make me more clear to understand what you wanted hope we still keep in touch
Thank you for the new entries. I still like them but my favorite is now #19. The darker colors and contrast between black and gold is best. The black in the middle is strong. I will move the other versions to non-interesting.
However, I gave new feedback on the brief to all designers to say I would like to see designs without my husbands name. Please re--read the direction before submitting again. As much as I like the big 50 and the 5 lines coming of that, the appearance of a baseball diamond...I need to see deigns that are not only about the birthday. I hope you can understand.
