Thank you for your submissions. I'm going to keep #14 and #16 for now. I'm showing some ideas to my client Monday. I like the secondary blue color is #16 and curious what made you put the 2nd color on the TF. Probably no particular reason, just curious. Was wondering what it might look like to alternate the colors, but maybe you already tried that.

#16 Client liked this concept. Called it a more modern or stylized look in his eyes. He is concerned about readability of foundation name in smaller applications. Maybe try a different font than used in CDTF. Vertical line spacing looks a little off to me but could be the font. To help readability I would put in dark blue vs. what looks to be a shade of gray.

Also, the same way you outlined the "C" at the bottom so it didn't bleed into the "D", can you do that at the top also? He made the comment and it's something I had already noticed also. Don't mind the overlapping, but want to see an outline to complete the "C".

I had a previous question as to whether you tried alternating the blues amongst CDTF or not and what that looked like.

Since this is sitting towards the top of logos he liked I need to see some activity because we are not quite there yet on readability.

My client did really like the vertical line. To help readability take #110 and put the foundation name on only 2 lines. COMMERCIAL DRIVER and then underneath it TRAINING FOUNDATION.

Let's also do the same thing to #109 where you changed the "C"

I'm sorry. I had asked to put the name on 2 lines using #110, that still had the vertical line in it. Keep CDTF to the left, still keep the vertical line, and put foundation name on 2 lines. Just use #110 for this and use those colors. No need to do multiple colors at moment.

Thank you. I've used #159 to replace the original #16. I have resent to my client as a substitution.

I've had a shift occur with clients. They are divided between your logo #159 after changing the C, keeping vertical line, and then putting foundation name on 2 lines. The chairman really likes it.
OR...the logo I currently moved to #2 spot.

I need to get your logo in a couple variations to show application. Please do the following...

1. Put this entire logo into black in case they need a b/w application. Want to see what the transparency shading will look like.
2. Put this entire logo onto a black background to show what it would look like reversed white.
3. Then please apply a secondary color to the logo. Use orange to compliment the blue. Try it a couple different ways. 1) the vertical line only 2)vCDTF 3) the foundation name spelled out 4) alternate blue/orange with CDTF. I have a feeling all one color logo is going to be the way to go ultimately, but want to see what applying a secondary color would look like.

morningdesign, who is also from Indonesia, wound up responding first so I moved her to #1 position in order to accept a revision. I know it's early there. Once you respond that you are working on the request above I will move you to #1 position so you can submit.

Indra...I need to hear from you. Waiting for some additional applications of your logo. You are currently in #1 position waiting for these. If I don't hear anything from you in next 24 hrs I will have to default to other logo. I wanted to provide my client your logo applications also so they could see your logo applied to the same backgrounds or color combos like the logo currently in 2nd place.

Thank you. Instead of #166, I meant to take the logo, still on a white background, and apply the color orange to the logo as a secondary color in addition to the dark blue. Some examples I gave to try were:

1) make vertical line orange only
2) make CDTF orange only
3) make the foundation name spelled out in orange only
4) alternate blue/orange with CDTF.

I have a feeling all one color logo is going to be the way to go ultimately, but want to see what applying a secondary color would look like

what time is it there? 130am? Are you still available?
I'm looking at the color combos now, but should have used logo #159 that was in #1 position. That typeface is different from the ones you have used in these revisions. Once I pick 1 or 2 color combos I will ask that you apply that to #159 so the typeface is correct. thanks!

PDG
Client
ok, could you please take the color combinations that were done for #167 and #169 and apply those to the #159 logo that has the correct typeface? I do like the darker blue when combined with orange. This will give me the correct logos to show the client.

I have had to wait for 2 people to return from a conference. I have heard from 2 out of 3 people and waiting on the last one. I hope to hear from him before the end of the day and can select the winner between first two entries.
