Find out how LogoTournament works How LogoTournament works Contest Logo Design Brief Edit Client justinmclachlan United States What We Do We publish science fiction, fantasy and creative nonfiction books. Industry Media Color Preferences The logo will primarily appear in black and white, so it needs to be designed with that in mind -- that doesn't mean it can't be designed with colors (we like orange, contemporary color schemes), but that it has to convert easily to one or two colors for the black / white versions. Avoid blue (too cliched when attached to water). Our Ideas & Additional Information We don't necessarily want the word "books" tagged on the end if the brand name is used in the design. It could be just "Deep Water." The logo needs to be something that will stand out on the spine of a book, which means it must communicate in small form.

Also looking for more bold strokes -- since the logo will often appear very small, it needs to communicate well at that size. Thanks for all the hard work, I like where things are going so far! 14 years ago justinmclachlan Client Hi Everyone-- I want to leave feedback for all of you. If I haven't gotten to yet, I will sometime today. Thanks! 14 years ago justinmclachlan Client Hi Everyone--There's getting to be so many that I've unfortunately had to pull some concepts into the not-interesting batch. If it was a slight variation, I probably kept the one I've liked the most so far. I'm really liking the last couple batches and I feel that many of you are getting very, very close to what we're looking for.If I have any advice, if you choose to enter additional concepts or tweak what you've got, it's to be bold, edgy and simple. I'll be working on getting feedback to all the new stuff sometime today.thanks! 14 years ago justinmclachlan Client I think I've commented on everything so far. Again, I'm pulling more than I want to into the not interested column, just to keep the list manageable and the rankings meaningful. That might mean that a variant of one of your designs ends up over there, even though we really liked the variant. Feel free to withdraw those if you like, or not, it's up to you. 14 years ago justinmclachlan Client Hi everyone. I'm traveling now throughtheend of the contest and unfortunately can't rank entries from my iPad. I leave comments as I can though. Thanks! 14 years ago justinmclachlan Client An update, I plan to select a winner sometime this evening, Pacific coast time here in the U.S. ... the current rankings may change throughout the day as we take a real close look at everything. Thanks to everyone for all your hard work. 14 years ago
