Country Music Gives BackLogo Design Contest

I already submitted designs, I'm really sorry I can't play too much with this idea because it fits with the direction from you that this logo should be read in a very small size 1/2" wide.

and I am trying to present a simple concept a carved name on the guitar fretboard,
as a symbol of charity and the philosophy of art.

Thanks
Trinova.

a good concept, but our bosses would prefer more work on the fonts/lettering

it looks on a colored background

we're going to have extend this tournament...

check out this link for 2.0 feel if it helps

http://chillreport.com/2011/01/gives-back/

looks like our founders are thinking less is more

prefer #473 which is on an angle

Can you please provide a white background version also

Our founders would prefer to be able to read GIVES BACK when printed really small also.

and a 2.0 image

#474 - white b/g version.
#475 - 1/2" preview size and adding perspective effect.

Thanks for adding a 1/2" size - that really helps

We like your logo

we just think GIVES BACK needs to be bigger

and we'd still like a 2.0 image that can stand on it's own, so maybe the initials CMGB with those colors? up to you?

good job!

#474

Can we see it in solid colors. a version without the graininess

Still needs work on GIVES BACK (make bigger)

we like #474 a lot

maybe make music smaller and put GIVES BACK in a circle to the right of music
or an arrow pointing left like on

#470

we like #473 & #474

#493 is getting close, but it needs to be more easy on the eye, so work is still needed on logo

'music' needs to be smaller and we still like the yellow after 'Back' on #473 & #474 t

then circle can move over to the left. Maybe the circle needs to fit under Country a little too?

You just need to work on some more concept, so we can comment on them better for you

#473 & #474

make music bigger and keep yellow under the 'i'

and make 'Gives Back' bigger, but make sure the letter 'a' in 'back' is directly under the 's'

also show another version where GIVES BACK is all in capital letters (again make sure the letter 'A' in 'back' is directly under the 's')

i guess just work on a few cool ways to make 'Gives Back' bigger

send them over so we can comment on them and work towards a final logo

we just need to be able to read Gives Back even at 1/2"

so work on a few designs you think would look good

OK..revision still in progress.

Gives Back needs to be on the same line, so it still looks good symmetrically

I understand your intentions and goals, but I tried to do it in safe design resizing parameters to appear properly in a small size, so that the overall design was retained when on different media, such as printing, embroidery and embossing.

Let me know your thought and ideas.

Thank you!
Trinova

:(

wish there was a way for Gives Back to look good, but be bigger...

what about make GIVES bigger up to the yellow part

than put BACK in an arrow or circle?

OK..I'm still worked with you and revision in progress to find out that way.. :)

I'm still working on some other alternative.

#529

try to align the ''a in back right under 's' in music, so Gives Back is a little smaller


then put one arrow or two (what ever looks better)

not sure what to suggest....#473 and #474 are still the best visually
just need gives back to be seen better...

we don't know what to say...

OK...
My team will explore some ideas around the "GivesBack" placements, size, etc......on Sunday meeting.
And I hope will find something better before the contest end.

thank you. our main founder really likes the feel of your logo - he just wants it to show the GIVES BACK part stronger

thing is everything you and I have tried so far in making GIVES BACK bigger messes with the coolness of your logo.

there is one other designer who has made the back arrow work very well.

BTW: the reason I had to align the ''a in back right under 's' in music, is so we can highlight USA if we want later on down the road. It would be a cool extra thing to have or use or tell people about the logo.

Thank you for all your revisions and help so far...

ArtOne is my friend,
maybe I can ask him to make a deal with me for the back arrow if you wanted.

#556 & #557

Please remove the arrows from both
and make GIVES BACK a little smaller so the 'A' in BACK sits under the 'S' in music

thank you

OK...now I'm still out of studio's, I'll send the updates in few hours.

updates submitted....

#577

make music white

gives grey and back yellow

would like to see what that looks like

Thank you for all your submissions and help.

We're giving our co-founders 5 logos to choose from out of your submissions, so they can pick which one they prefer. We may need a couple more changes, but I'll let you know.

By the way: What is your favorite? (from a designer's perspective)

Awesome...Very pleasant to be worked with you.
I feel you are very politely, and all feedback is great. My favorite is #474 and #556 (both design had own pros), but I prefer to #556 for small size and #474 for medium size. They're same concept in different result.

Best,
Trinova.

We would like to see a few variations of #580

with GIVES BACK all in the same color

so one with all yellow

show another one with all grey

and any others that you think would look good

We are close to completion on this.

Thank you, and please tell me if you need some variation of those colors.

1) We need to see version #583 on a white background

Plus our founders have two ideas. which are on the below link. Both ideas would be on separate logo submissions (two extra separate submissions - as they'd like to see if they look good or not) - thanks

http://chillreport.com/2011/01/two-ideas/

2) to have an arrow closely within in the 'K' of 'BACK' in the design (to stay in yellow)


3) a heart shape made of two arrows. One arrow is to represent 'GIVES' and the other is to represent 'BACK'

Let me know you thoughts. We are almost complete on this tournament.
