My submission for your review and consideration, it took a wee but but I came up with a design that is unique for your industry....using spa stones to create an abstract dog.
I've taken into consideration for various print requirements from Business cards to embroidery .
I am looking forward to working with you in the second phase (top 5)
Thanks Scott for submitting a design for the Dog Spaw. I am very honored to have a #4 rank designer submitting ideas for my business. When I first saw the logo, I didn't see the dog in the stones. I saw something else from the back end of the dog...LOL. No insult intented. I like concept, but think it might be to far out there for my customers. I would love seeing more ideas from you.
I can see how that would...on another note...wee I see you do prefer cutesy cartoon design..even though you stated d emphatically NO cutesy...sometime it's hard to break out of how we are....
nothing wrong with cutesy the ranked #2 is my fav plus the entry by Graphics-a-foot hers is a very professional take on your request for a palm free
new submission uploaded with a black and white version....BW should always be used to access a logo it you cannot make what the design si in BW then it's no good.
my advice is to ask those you ranked in the top 5 to show BW version so you can see what the design really looks like....colour is to distracting
as for my spa stone though it is a good idea the execution of the work in BW not so much....
a simple yet cool and easily recognizable branding....abstract Lotus flower
this will look create on nay printed material from business cards to silkscreen...the bonus to any of my work is I take all these factor into consideration so you do not need to worry about it
Oh, I didn't notice that at first glance. I do like #59 better. I have never done this before, now that phase 1 has ended, now do I work with top five in making changes.
Primarily phase 2 (the top 5) is dedicated to the top 5 designers you selected....this is were you work to refine designs....however you can still shuffle designs/designers around...for example if you like a designer is not in the top 5 you simply take that designer's logo and slide it to the top 5 send him or her a message asking for your changes.
Phase 3 is a wee bit different here only the number 1 ranked designer in your contest is permitted to upload change request ONLY they cannot submit new idea or edit existing work...reason is it keeps it fair to all who are participating in your contest. In phase 3 you can still shuffle designers around if you wish to see further teaks.
My advice is during the top 5 if you feel that anyone one design is it..then end the contest early (you have that option).
Hope this helps
If you need help with any other aspect of Logo tournament please do not hesitate to ask
Thanks Scott your a BIG help. Thanks again. I love your design #59, but would like to see a different dog head...maybe something like I uploaded as sample.
I mean a different breed of dog. The dog looks like a german shepherd...I would rather see a breed like a poodle, cocker etc. For the next few hours, I sent out to customers an invite for them to vote on the designs they like. I am really liking both my first 2
