CrystalMarkLogo Design Contest

#1 & #19

#1 best crystal so far
#19 best typeface so far

Cool! So you want a literal crystal; not representational?
Thanks,
~Geoff

#20

• open to either literal or representational. I especially like this one because it is different from everything else..
• like colors & text
• looks great. however, gives me the feel of a science or biology company. Art & Decor

Okay -- I'll keep at it.
The crystals I used as inspiration for #19, #21, and #22 were the single bar crystals (too many Superman movies ; )

#23

closer
• please try with color and text of 21
• no highlight in crystal
• please add crystal-mark.com

#26 & #27

Sharp

may i see 28 aligned like 30

thank you

Sure. I can't see #30, though...

You mean #20?

yeah, sorry

No worries! I knew what you meant ; )
~Geoff

#29 #22 & #28

• can you add - to crystal()mark
• put a .com facing upward ok the K
• replace crystal-mark.com at the bottom with art & home decor

sorry

Sure! No worries. Will do as soon as I get back from dinner.
Also -- entered a typography only (wordmark) version I hope you like: #33
~Geoff

#33

• great concept, you were the first to go there.
• can you add green to the Y, with less or no fade
• as well as the elements listed above.

enjoy your dinner & thanks again!

Okay, cool. Just did #49. Still want me to do the others the same...?
There seems to have been a change of direction with the literal lamp-shade approach.
So -- should I go down that route : / or no? Please advise...
Thanks!
~Geoff

Did the others as requested, Dustin.
Awaiting more/further direction : )
Thanks!
~Geoff

Do you want to see designs against a black background?

#49

• a black background is not necessary
• i like your style. of the logos you sent let this one be the focus
• my current top 5 are more like a tie, feel free to expand ideas

cheers, good night and thanks again!

Cool. My pleasure, Dustin!
Catch you tomorrow. I'll get back to it then. : )
Thanks,
~G

#49

• see how the "needles" face up & out. may I see one with "needles" on each side of art and home decor

ex:

------- art and home decor --------

^

• probably using 1/2 of the v shape design??

Don't think I fully get it. Sorry. Trying to understand...
I can try one to see if I'm even close. Try another way to explain, too, can ya?
Thanks, D.
~G

see how there are 9 V shapes in the logo, half of a V

ex:

1/2 V (art & home decor) V 1/2

??

Okay. Gonna try it. We can always tweak if it's off a bit, right? Here I go.
Stand by...

#86 thank you

• sometimes i think you leave well enough alone

however... #49

• can be perhaps expand art & decor across entire bottom?

#90

thank you

• can we stretch it all the way to the .com, then re-center top logo?

Yes. Will post in a few minutes!
Thanks,
~G

#93 -- fix of #90 : )

#93

• awesome!! thank you

My pleasure : )
Any requests or direction welcome.
~G

#94

lol - I like it!!

keep in mind...
My top 10 are all different designers. Although there is only 1 logo per person within that top 10, he or she may actually 2 overall worthy top 10 designs.

also, #93

does the logo on top look off center to the test? may I just see it with logo and text width the same?

im sorry

Don't be sorry. Let me check.

#96

thank you

Check out #97. Seems more visually centered to me. What do you think?
It's subtle, but it's more 'visually' balanced from what I can see.
~Geoff

#97

perfect

Cool! Did #98 just in case. Move any you don;t want or that won't make rankings to the the 'not interested' pile and I can withdraw 'em.
Thanks, Dustin.
~G

your logos are all complete

feel free to submit other concepts & I will move you into the top 5

thanks again!

Hey, Dustin! If there are any other tweaks or color treatments you'd like to see, please just ask.
Thanks,
~Geoff
