Entry # 2 & Entry #3...can you make the horse head bigger as if he is popping out of the shield and front legs are stomping on a pile of rifle bullets. not the whole horse just as if he is bursting through. Also put some fern type vines that go up and flare out a bit like a border. Also try putting a flame out the guns like it shooting. see how that turns out.

#3 Can you please put the cimma Inc in the name? Maybe have the head of horse a little bigger as if he is peeking out of the shield a bit more? Also can you incorporate some stars?

Hi, thanks for your feedback and rank, of course I can do it for you. At your first feedback which talk about a pile of rifle bullets, fern type vines, flame out the guns, etc, did you want those in illustrative style or in my current style #3?

Thanks,
Edwin

Client
Can you do in both styles? #3 style is actaully growing on me a bit but i would still like to see it in illustrative style. I would like to keep #3 in the contest to compare the other logos and these new ones. I am also interested in seeing #3 the way it is but with the horse head a little bigger as if he is peeking out the sheild to give it some depth.

Client
Can u please take the horse, guns, and stars from entry #64 and put it into #3 design? Please remove the legs of the horse and vines, we decided the vines and legs are better without.

Client
#73 this is more like it! Now can we fine tune the look of the logo? Can we add some silver/chrime in the shield? Also add some sort of background in the shield to give the horse head some depth. I like rivets around the shield. Please add flames to the guns like they are shooting...and i woild like to make the name of the company stand out more...maybe some white highlights in the letters to make it pop.

Client
Can you please also make the guns have quad rails instead of a handle around the barrel? I also noticed the right gun is not aligned at the same height as the left gun...looks like it angles out more. Please correct that as well. I really like this logo!

Logo Designer
Hi, thanks for the feedback, I'll do the revision now, please wait for my next entries.

Oh btw the guns are in the same angles, the horse position/pose which make them looks like in different angles.

Thanks,
Edwin

Client

Hi, thanks for waiting, here is the update based on your feedback #76, I hope you like it
10 years ago
 
Client
#76 awesome! Can we make some addiyiinal adjustments....can we make the red a little more richer and darker in the whole logo? Also can we make the horses hair more masculine? Shorter possibly? The star between the guns, please make this black star with white outline instead of red with white outline. Can we also make the horse a little darker in black color with highlights? He is a tad too grey.
10 years ago
 
Client
Also giving the red outline of the shield s9me gradient like its beveled would be great too
10 years ago
 
Client
Can we also fix the horses face a little bit? Make it look more bold...the face has some crooked lines that need to be adjusted to give it the loom i am seeking
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer

- black star

Client
#77 much better :)...i think i like the original red amd horse colors better than the deeper red and darker horse...sorry! Can u switch it back but keep the updates in #77? Also i like the red star better than black...and can you make the grey around the shield more look like chrome instead of grey?...thank you, this is an awesome design u came up with!
10 years ago
 
Client
I would also be curious to see #77 with the same red color, however update the horse back to the lighter greyish color as well as the guns, star back to red and the chrome...this way i can compare these to one another...thank you again for ur hard work
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
No problem, here are the updates #83 and #84, the different is only the red color, #83 brighter and #84 darker. Please don't be hesitate to ask me anything until you satisfied with the final result.

Thanks,
Edwin

Client

Client
Is there also a way you could add a muzzle break to both rifles....i like the way the muzzle break looks in this picture of a rifle i foumd for reference

If you could also see how it would look by adding this style scope to the guns also

I also noticed that #76 horse has better shading than #83...if you could make 83's horse shaded like #76 that would be great along with the gun updates and chrome for the letters...thx
10 years ago
 
Client
The top of the horses hair towards the front of the head has an extra flip in #76...could you add that to the horse as well...i think that will give it the extra edge im looking for as well
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Of course, here is the update #85, please let me know what you think
10 years ago
 
Client
#85 looks near perfect :)...couple changes again. Could you please make the magazines in the rifles a little longer? And could you try smoke out the barrels instead of flames? Smoke shoukd flow in and out of the design but not overboard. Like the smoke to match the overall theme and illustrative style...thx!
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Great, ok here is the update #86, longer magazines and smoke out of the barrel
10 years ago
 
Client
#86 guns are perfect...can we make the smoke out the barrels flow a bit more...it looks a little odd and not much like smoke...here is a reference link on helping draw the smoke similar to this tattoo. Thx!

I changed my mind in the mags...here is a link to a picture that has a perfect reference for the shape of the mag and proportionate length. Can u also imcorporate the waffle design on the mags some how? Thx!

Ok, here is the update for the smoke and magazines #87
10 years ago
 
Client
Can you shorten the mags just a tad? They look a little big for the scope size. Thx!
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Like this #88 ?
10 years ago
 
Client
If you could take off 1.5 squares length off the end of both mags i think it would look right length. If u could also make the scopes a little bigger i think that would make it proporrionate

Logo Designer
no problem, here it is #90 with bigger scope and shorter magazines
10 years ago
 
Client
#90 is PERFECT! we absolutely love it! i have question, are we able to obtain this logo and the other one you designed #3? we like both and will have use for both with different products
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Yes of course, you can get both of them if you want
10 years ago
 
Client
perfect! i really appreicate all the work you have done for us and we absolutely love the logos! is there also a way for you to create this same exact logo but for a white background also? once we can get one of these for a white background we will end the contest and cliam you as the winner. thx!
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
here it is #91, since the background change to white the logo it self need a minor adjustment, the smoke now colored grey instead of white so it can visible in white background.

Client
