Hi

Here are three possibilities for you...staying along the same feel as the Autism logo, this is a top view of the brain in a stylized form and in a circle format for the pin.

I can modify these for you, let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!
Kind Regards,

Like them, will definitely keep you one of the top five, we like the colors a lot, would like a blockier feel to the lettering. Thank you -

Thank you!!

Here are these 2....#159 #160
I tweak the illustration just slightly to clean up the edges
Let me know after you see these if you want to put this font on the circle or if you want it a little bolder, all black or black on your name and another color on 'support network'. I will try a serif font also and upload that for you this afternoon.

I appreciate this, and will be looking for your comments.

Thank you once again!!

Client
the illustration now seems disconnected from the lettering - we have four words to describe the journey of a brain injury - any ideas on how to connect it again? without the name of the organization going around it? something else?


I think the font for our name should be bolder, and we like having the ct be a different color than the rest

Logo Designer
Sure, I will see what I can do to connect the whole theme for you...will work on that now and upload as soon as I finish

It needed to be unified with the colors in your name.
I gave various arrangements in the colors and layout and made your name bolder...do you want to see another type of font? Maybe a script on the 'support network'?

I changed up the colors some in two parts...to indicate left brain/right brain

I can go back to your name with space and all one color, there are many possibilities and will send you more varieties...
I need to leave for about an hour and will check back for your comments.
Thank you!!

Client
I like the change in font color, still think it needs to be united more - maybe something needs to go around the illustration, it looks a little lost.
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Okay, let me see what I can do....would you like to see this in a circle format again?
I think that a pin, if it is a circle this would be able to float in the center and have room to be sized large.

I will work on it this evening for you...will try to have something in a couple of hours.

#167 #168 #169 #170 #171 #172

Here are these variations for you. I changed the colors depending on the backgrounds if they were black or white...the background, especially on your pins could have a solid color background but the colors on your name and brain would need to be adjusted to be vibrant.

Also added the circle to unify the design. Fonts may still be changed, thought you might like to see a serif font instead but can change it back to the previous font used.

Different layout arrangements may be used on various applications...you could use the circle on the pin and use the horizontal on other printing and your website.

I will be on for another hour or two this evening....if you would like to see some adjustments on any of these let me know.

For you to see just the branding mark without the type if any application would use it alone.

Logo Designer
#174

This one you can see another possibility of what the front of a pin would look like.

Font still can go bolder.

I may not be on much longer this evening, but will check back with you in the morning if I miss your comments.

Thank you Elaine!
Hope you have a restful evening!

one added note...

You talked about using your initials...that is a possibility also, but for quick long term recognition it would help greatly if at a glance if your name was immediately associated with your cause.

If you are going to have some interchanging type on these then the initials would be good but the extra space is always be needed to spell it out.

Entry 163 and 167 are the ones we like the best, is there some way to,make 167 expand into the entire pin/logo?

Client
That may be too much but let us know what you think, appreciate your input...

Hi

Is the shape of the pin round? Or what is the shape...what will happen the horizontal design will float in a circle?
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Also, to let you know the full area of black or any other color are only representative of what it would look like in your applications with a that color background...each variation will need to be reformatted in the file but it is typical and easy to do.
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
On your note to 'expand into the entire pin/logo' I'm trying to understand what you are asking...there is no problem I will be happy to do that for you if you could explain a little more.
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Oh...if you are asking to expand the image to the full edges of the LT layout...the rules won't allow that...but I can put a rectangle or square and float it to give the same layout...let me try to see if that is what you want.
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Is this what you envision?

I thought I would take a chance...let me know,
I will be signing off in about 30 mins, if you leave your notes before then I will work on this for you.

#175 #176
10 years ago
 
Client
For 173 lets change the blue, it seems a little drab compared to the other colors in the illustration?

175 and 176 do give me an idea of how the logo would look if it filled the space a bit more, thank you.

The shape of the pin will be determined by the logo we choose, we are open.

I liked the pretty playfulness of the design originally -116, somehow I feel like I am moving you away from that, thought about it last night, we do want something pretty, we have been leaning towards supportive hands, can you try an illustration like that? Really are not crazy about any of the "hands" anyone has done so far, would like them to either be cupped up, as in a supportive gesture........or opening, as in releasing something.
Thank you for all your information, it's helpful!

Just looked at your portfolio again, love the sloane farm logo, one idea I had was to have a row of various height cupped supportive hands, would need to show some of the arm as well to make it work I think, either under or over our name? I haven't seen anything like that so if you don't think it will work at all, don't waste your time on it and let me know, I've never done this before so I will understand!

Really love the buffalo looking through the lens! Wish brain injury had something like that to signify it!
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
I will be happy to try the hands and arms holding your name...I actually may already have something similar that was never sold that I can make adjustments to it, don't think it is in my portfolio for you to see it though. I will see if I can find it and open it up reinstate it for you to see.

The buffalo concept actually was the CHs idea, we all just used our method to support it...it's a fun logo.

I will be on and off all day and will get something to you along your request as soon as possible.
It is important for you to have a logo that is yours and one that you are thrilled with. Sometimes it takes a many experiments but eventually with time, it happens, that's the truth.

Will get back asap.
Have a great day!

#184 #185 #186 #187

Here are these...I couldn't open up the entries on the other contest because it had been a private contest

But I reworked them for you for you to see. It would be too busy to work in the cranium along with the different hands, but to consider for immediate association with you, something that hasn't been used would have more impact....

I could try to tweak the outline of the brain to be more physically precise if that would help.

I will check back off and on...but if you know me if I don't step away I can design all day and not pay attention to the time flying by :-)

Let me know how you feel about these.
10 years ago
 
Client
I agree about the cranium, and no, don't make it more realistic - that's pretty much what everyone else does. Lets move away from the dar background, want it to be more upbeat, from the portfolio you have can you use colors similar to the sloane farm logo and go back to the white background? I do like the idea of more than one supportive hand, am I allowed to tell you if I like the style of one of the other designers hands and which one it is? It's hard to describe things!! I'm leaning towards more than one pair of hands, lets work on that without the cranium.
Thank you!

Client
And go back to your colors in 116 too, think I led you down the wrong path for awhile!

Client
Meant to ask, do you want me to keep ranking things or do we just work together this way?
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Hi,

I will start to work on this for your in about an hour or two and upload it to you but it has many colors but will pick colors that compliment your design from Sloane colors

Are you referring to working on design #184 and not #167 with a white background or both of these?

It isn't necessary to rank these if I know which ones you are referring to...just when your contest is completed, you will need to pick different designers for the Top 3.

I appreciate your input, it will help me get to what you envision!

Hope you have having a great day!

Hi,

Here is this one for you...#192

I used the neutral tones in the other design for the hands.

Will try to work on some other style of hands and illustration style in a couple of hours.

You were correct, I wouldn't use another designer's style for reference...hoping I can capture it for you.

#193

Here is this for the same colors.

What do you see? In other words, the hands, their position? How many? What are the hands doing?

Is it a more graphic style, or more an illustrative brush stroke or fine art style?

Sometimes we get caught on one thought and need to reorganize our direction if needed.

10 years ago
 
Client
I think I am thinking of a more fine art style, the logos that I see that I really like seem to be don't that way.

What I see is at least three/four sets of partial forearms and hands- the hands upward. The arms meet at the wrists and extend upward with fingers shaped as if supporting something, the hands and arms could also overlay each a bit, and I envision varying heights, but lots of support being given so I like the idea of more hands/support rather than less.

Where the name goes I am not sure, maybe the arms/ hands are supporting it....haven't gotten that far

, lol! No worries, you will be in the top 3!

My internet has interference right now..I'm on my phone...
I've been sketching an illustration on paper that is very close to what you are describing.
2 hands 1holding the wrist of other and a heart is nestled in their palms.
I will work on the computer in the morning and get it converted to upload for you. Wish there was a way to show rough sketches before work is done.t
For the pin and a unified layout the format needs to be round or stacked horizontally.
once you go into the Judging mode only 1st place may submit entries
I will check back in morning
Ha e a great evening

Also adding extra hands

Logo Designer
I did capture what you are asking...hope so. The only thing it is w a heart in the hands as they come together.
Your name would be too small and/or lost if it is in the hands. Let me know if you would like the circle format.

10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Hi,

I did the illustration for you but can't upload it now that you went into judging mode...I don't know if I can stay on for long this morning...
If you want to see it if you would move me back into 1st just long enough.
But I would like it if you were on the site so I can remove it after you see it...it is only a black outline right now.

I will be on for about 30 minutes.

Thank you!

#231 #232 #233

Thank you!
Now these need more work, it primarily is to see if you like the illustration, and if the style could be a little more brush style, if you like.

The colors can all be rearranged or substituted for others.

I have another one to submit but can't get to that right now...possible in about an 1 or 2 hours.

If you would let me know if you like these...what I will do is omit the one with just the black outline since it is incomplete...the others I think I can leave them if you like it...the style can be more like this with brush color or I can do solid color fills.

I will check back with you,
Thank you!!

'without the line' ?
forgot to say, the black line doesn't need to be there when finished, it can also be another color
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
I took out the black line only one...

Would you like me to finish this?

I could also try to add more hands if you like.

Thank you Elaine, I appreciate this,
I'll check back

Client
Im not sure what more "brush style" means! the colors could more playful, fun? please give me some idea of what brush style means so I can respond to that? I don't think you need more hands, lets work on this -
thank you!
