We like these concepts. I would say remove the bar code elements from the logos. We will not be barcoding the coupons on our site and I do not want to mislead advertisers nor site visitors. I really like the text layout of "couponfishing.com" in concept #37 & #38 and the fish / background in #35 & #39. Perhaps we can drop the barcode and combine the preferred elements from these. Could you add a little detail / accents / depth too?
We really like entry #48. There are a couple changes we would like... Could we make the fish less aggressive? Can we change the starburst in the background to a radial gradient? Could you also do the same concept with a black / dark background? We like the black fish but the orange/yellow goldfish was cool too. Thank you.
We are really liking the concepts that you have delivered. After looking at all the concepts, we want to concentrate on #45. Here is what we are thinking:
Make the fish less aggressive. Tone down the fins a bit. Our target audience leans more towards the female side so a "happier fish" would be received better than the more aggressive fish currently in place.
Keep the starburst versus the radial gradient. It looks good but after comparison, the starburst is preferred.
Can you add some depth to the text? Maybe a glassy look? Something that is laid over the text to accent and create some dimension.
If you want to do a couple variations with a black background / orange fish... that would be great.
Here is an update for your request. I have tried to make the fish smile, but the fish look like an monster with smile. So I just change the size of fin, took teeth out, and put an eye with smile. I also add glare on letters per your request. Black backgorund version will be up shortly.
As of right now, we have pretty much concluded that your concept we have placed in position #1 is the direction we want to go with. We do have a couple small tweaks we would like to see prior to making this our concrete decision.
Thanks for playing with the look of the fish but after seeing the change, we prefer the fish you have in concept #62 best. This version has a bigger impact than the "friendlier" version we requested. I think we are leaning towards the orange vs. the black fish. Do you think we are going to run into a problem using the orange fish along with the yellow starburst?
As for the black background... are you running into problems with using a black background because of the text color being mostly in black?? If that is the case, reverse the text color to whites and light grays -- reverse them with the black background for contrast. We would like to have the a logo setup for use on white background and a logo setup for use on a black background... even if that means we are not using the exact same colors scheme. Let me know your thoughts on this.
Great work and we hope to get this honed in to the final version here shortly.
Here are updates for your request. Because of the color similarity between starburst and the fish, I have shiftet the startburst just little bit to the left to have seperation. For the black background version, I have put three layers for the letter to have three different outlines so it can be totally seperated from backround color and the starburst. The letter and glare colors are changed as well. Please let me know what your thoughts are.
