338 and 350 look slightly harsh, maybe because the "ostabell" is all capitals. Could "ostabell" please be lowercase? If not, could it be in smaller capitals?
Some of the sources that already indicates tapeworms (optimus for example) others, although you I have prepared, I think that they will not work. Best regards, Luis
350: I asked my printer whether the graduated colours will affect printing prices a lot. He said to ask you: "is the teal a spot colour graduated or is it in cmyk?"
I love 350, but people are telling me it looks like a printing error! So I will just consider 366 and 359 of yours.
366 and 359: I had feedback that especially when printed, it is hard to see that the "((" and the "))" actually are connected. That is: the lines across the top of the "(( ))", and the lines across the bottom of the "(( ))", need to be a little thicker. Could you please make the connection lines thicker?
I also am interested in seeing "Costabell" aligned with the bottom of the "(( ))". To say it another way: so instead of Costabell being centred on the "(( ))", the bottom of Costabell and the bottom of "(( ))" are along the same invisible line. Kind of like this alignment: "_Costabell" instead of this alignment: "-Costabell".
If any of this does not make sense, please tell me! I will ask my stepmother to translate into Espanol.
Hello. Resli. I think I understand what I said. Summarize you a bit.
The files that we go up to the competition, are just to give an idea. First are files for viewing on screen to a very low resolution (on the other hand the maximum which gives a normal display) of 72 dpi, not printable and much less for printing. Secondly, in order to avoid plagiarism, in LT dan output graphics files even more low in jpg format. The purpose is to avoid that someone can copy designs if the quality is her optima. This also makes sense. A logo must work in black and white plus color with what the importance of this is minor.(although there are special cases and color is essential)
300ppp resolutions or higher are used for printing and/or printing (nothing to do with the screen) and instead of output in RGB (red, green, blue) are output CMYK (cyan, magenta,...) either fixed Pantone colors. (is exactly the same as a pantone has its equivalent in CMYK)
When you designate a winner, the file that is uploaded is a jpj of superior quality for testing and a vector (EPS) file
The EPS file, is the "good". This not is an image bitmap (jpg) but a file that can put to any size without losing quality. This is where used for printing.
In the printing press. There are two types of printing. The traditional and digital. The first, often give something of more quality (or not) normally inaprecible in a logo (maybe if in photography) and used before a circulation a cliche or photolith. The second printed directly without photolith, something like a normal printer, but with a lot more quality. (an imprint of such round of about 25,000 € at much more)
When you go to the printing press, the best thing you can do if you have doubts, is request a proof of printing. So sabra really can be your cards for example. If the color is not exactly who wishes to may with a catalog of colors pantone paper, change it. As I already said, the colors in normal monitor may vary or it desvirtuase completely unless it is a professional monitor (800 €). I for example work with dual screen, A NEC and a SAMSUNG professional both calibrated. (the nec costs about 1200 €)
I hope I explained well.
Best regards, Luis
............. Hola. Resli. Creo que le entiendo lo que me dice.
Le resumo un poco.
Los archivos que subimos al concurso, solo son para dar una idea. Primero son archivos para ver en pantalla a una resolucion muy baja (por otro lado la maxima que da una pantalla normal) de 72 ppp, no para imprimir y mucho menos para imprenta. Segundo, con el fin de evitar plagios, en LT dan una salida de archivos graficos aun mas baja en formato jpg. El sentido es evitar que alguien pueda copiar diseños si la calidad es la optima. Esto tambien tiene un sentido. Un logotipo debe de funcionar en blanco y negro ademas de en color con lo que la importancia de este es menor.(aunque hay casos especiales y el color es fundamental)
Para imprenta y/o impresion se utilizan resoluciones de 300ppp o superiores (nada que ver con la pantalla) y en vez de salidas en RGB (rojo, verde, azul) se dan salidas CMYK (cian, magenta,...) o bien colores Pantone fijos. (es exactamente igual ya que un pantone tiene su equivalencia en CMYK)
Bien. Cuando designe un ganador, el archivo que se sube es un jpj de calidad superior para pruebas y un archivo vectorial (EPS)
El archivo EPS, es el "bueno". Este no es una imagen bitmap (jpg) sino un archivo que puede poner a cualquier tamaño sin que pierda calidad. Este es el que utilizara para imprenta.
En la imprenta. Hay dos tipos de imprenta. Las tradicionales y las digitales. Las primera, suelen dar algo de mas calidad (o no) normalmente inaprecible en un logotipo (quizas si en fotografia) y utilizan antes de una tirada un cliche o fotolito. Las segundas imprimen directamente sin fotolito, algo asi como una impresora normal pero con muchisima mas calidad. (una imprenta de este tipo ronda de unos 25.000 € a mucho mas)
Cuando vaya a la imprenta, lo mejor que puede hacer si tiene dudas, es pedir una prueba de imprenta. Asi sabra realmente como pueden quedar sus tarjetas por ejemplo. Si el color no es exactamente el que quiere puede con un catalogo de colores pantone en papel, variarlo. Como ya le dije, los colores en monitor normal pueden variar o desvirtuase totalmente a no ser que sea un monitor profesional (desde 800 € ). Yo por ejemplo trabajo con doble pantalla, Un NEC y un SAMSUNG profesionales ambos calibrados. (el nec cuesta unos 1200 €)
With regard to the printing press. Normally (if it is a traditional printing press, more even) to more colors but face the impression. There is in this case only two colors, two inks. All the colors in the EPS file go to CMYK. They are two Pantone colors. The gradient is a blue pantone to pure black. No more colors As you said before. best thing is to request a proof of printing. And if necessary correct the colors if they are not to their liking with a catalog on paper Pantone.
However, when you choose winner, although the contest only can upload a winning design, by mail program can send you the variation without gradient. This is provided for in the contract of LT.
So can request a proof of printing, compare the results and choose. With the files on screen, even in a good printer, the results will be terrible, as he already comment. I use a Xerox and if I would like to take a test validates, what I would do serious i, mprimir directly from Adobe Illustrator (the design program)
I hope have helped him. Best regards ..........
Respecto a la imprenta. Normalmente (si es una imprenta tradicional, mas aun) a mas colores mas cara la impresion. En este caso solo hay dos colores, dos tintas. Todos los colores en el archivo EPS van para CMYK. Son dos colores Pantone. El degradado es una azul pantone a negro puro. No hay mas colores Como le decia antes. lo mejor es pedir una prueba de imprenta. Y en su caso corregir los colores si no son de su agrado con un catalogo en papel Pantone.
De todas formas, cuando elija ganador, aunque en el concurso solo se pueda subir un diseño ganador, por correo electronico le puedo enviar la variacion sin degradado. Esto se contempla en el contrato de LT.
Asi puede pedir una prueba de imprenta, comparar los resultados y elegir. Con los archivos de pantalla, incluso en una buena impresora, los resultados seran pesimos, como ya le comente. Yo utilizo una Xerox y si quisiera sacar una prueba valida, lo que haria seria i, mprimir directamente desde Adobe ilustrator (el programa de diseño)
Thank you for your very good explanations! I think I understood most of it.
Thank you also for correcting the bug in 359. I did not see it before!
At the very tops of 369, the "((" do not quite touch the "))". Instead, there is a little white space. What I would like is just the very tops of the (( )) to be thicker, so that they touch. With no white space. But I do not want the rest of the "(( ))" to be thicker (like in 370) because it looks too heavy (it loses the grace of your original design). Is that possible?
Resli. I'm going to try what I say.... Although not is if I have understood you. Wait, if you can, a few minutes to see if this is what you wanted. Best regards, Luis
I think that it is worse. I have sent an example and you lose the "grace". To join in a single point is the "chic" of the design and which gives his appearance. I have no problem, you send others with a blue more greenish. Best regards, Luis
I remember that no there are problem in sending you, once you decide to winner, the file in different colors or tones. It is part of the contract of LT.
From LT, say me that we are already out of time!
I'm going to take something, in Spain addition to fiesta (Holy Thursday) are more than the 12 at night. It enters here at a time (+ or-) If you need something more.
You are right about 374: joining the lines removes the grace.
Thank you for all your help, ideas and professionalism.
The most important good news for you this week is that your sister is better. The second most important good news this week is that you have won the logo contest.
Resli, I remind you that I have no problem in send to your email the complementary to the winner files. In you modify the color. It is the basis of the "LT contract". There are 15 days so I ask for corrections.
Anyway, these are the Pantone:
376 Pantone 326 PC 377 Pantone 322 PC 375 Pantone 320 PC 369 Pantone 3145 PC
