Hello!

I love #62. The only issue I have with it is that it looks a little like a hamburger. Maybe flatten the top out so it looks more like a movie reel instead of a hamburger bun? Maybe increase the circle size to look more like a reel?

I don't know if this will look very good, but can we try a version with stars instead of +'s? The reason for this is that stars is the way most movies are rated. So if we have the movie reel and stars, it implies movie ratings. I suspect that it won't look as good, but I'd appreciate it if we could try.

Also, I've decided I like the gold/yellow color for the logo.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the feedback!
Here's a new options in gold/orange with the stars, I changed the perspective on the movie reel so it does not look like a hamburger.

An option with the "+" stars.

(This comment references Entry #67)

An options with a combination of both stars.

(This comment references Entry #68)

An option with 5 stars going around the movie reel.

(This comment references Entry #69)

Can we try #69 with criticopia all in lower case and with a font that has a round "a" like #76 or #78? And I'd also like to see a version with the ciricles in the movie reel shaded grey or black to look like the film is showing through the holes.

Thank you for all your work.

Thanks for the feedback!

New rounded font.

(This comment references Entry #111)

Great selection!

Okay, the font I like most is the one on #110.
The shading of the movie reel I like most is also on #110.

One change I would like is to have the 5 tiny circles on the movie reel to be a different color. They look too much like sesame seeds (again, I'm trying to get away from the hamburger bun look).

The movie reel as a comment bubble is an interesting idea. I'll have to sit with that one for a bit.

Can you try making the dot on the "i" be the first star out of the five (#110)? If it looks terrible, no need to post it.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback!
The star on the "i" does not look bad at all.

Here's an other concept, clean and simple.

(This comment references Entry #116)

I like #116 a lot. Can we make the bubble come from the "critic" part of the logo - as if it's the critic giving the rating instead of the "opia".

Also, can we try #116 with a skinnier version of the font? Some folks here have been commenting that they thought the one we have is too fat, so I just wanted one to compare.

Thanks for the feedback, Here's an option with bubble coming out from "critic" and with a thinner font.

I think #118 is my favorite looking logo so far. My only concern is that, while it does imply critics rating something, it doesn't imply critics rating movies. That isn't to say that that is an absolute requirement, I just have to decide if look is more important than message.

If you can think of a way to make #118 imply movies, that would be great.

Thanks for the feedback!
Here's few more concepts. The star can also represent "movie stars" actors from movies?

Sorry, i had to resubmit this one, was missing a part on the clapboard.

(This comment references Entry #127)

#122 is interesting. Can we maybe try some other versions of it? Maybe a smaller black strip, or horizontal?

#149 is better. Unless I get an updated or new design, it's currently between you and #147. I'm having them change their font to look more like yours to make the comparison easier.

I'd like to go to 3 stars instead of 4.
I'd like to change the tag line back to "we're your greatest critic" all in lower case.
Can you make a version that has the film strip center be a bit darker and the stars be white?

Thanks again.

Great, Thanks for the feedback and directions.
Here's few more options.

(This comment references Entry #171)

For #172, can we change the silver background behind the stars to be a lighter gold instead of silver?

Great idea on #173! Can we try the same change for the silver background there?

Thanks for the feedback!
