Earthling PhotographyLogo Design Contest

Hi,

Thank you so much for your time and design ideas

Would love to see some more if you have time

Re 103: I i would prefer a different "E" more along the lines of 101
Re: 101: nice look but would prefer a little more legible

Would also love to see some more elegant/clean logo ideas (see entry 16); more suitable for older clients or jobs other than family and weddings

I am currently going back and forth between a logo with graphic (more playful) and a logo without graphic (more sophisticated and

Would love to see more

Thanks again

Magie

Re 105: Great idea! a few changes:

- change color of font to the color used for the leaves
- take out the leaves
- the 'E' font is not working for me; anyway a different style font can be used just for the - little softer

Thank you again
Your time is much appreciated!

Hi Magie. Thanks for your interest towards my logo and also the feedback. I enjoyed working on your logo. Photography's logo is one of my fav :)

Here's the revisions :

#109 : New E with the color of the leaves from #105
A very classy & professional font. Like it very much :)

Sorry didn't realize the color on it's own looks a little grayish

could you add a shade of blue to it? similar to entry 39

also, could you make "photography" a bit bigger

Hey.. here's the new color with bigger photography :)

#110

Thank you!

Would love to see some other font ideas if you have time!

Additional Guidelines:

Hello everyone

I want to thank each and everyone of you, including all designers not ranked in the top five, for your many wonderful designs and contributions. I feel very fortunate to be able to work with some many talented artists!

Moving forward, I would like to share some additional guidelines:

- generally happy with fonts but open to new ones similar to the top ranking logos unless I specifically ask you to work with a certain font
- very interested in variations of a graphic with following features:

- subtle; not too big or distracting from 'Earthling'; color matching "Photography"; soft but not too feminine (keep in mind: want to be able to use it for male/corporate head shots down the road); friendly/warm but not too cute; has to look good on watermark

- here is another tricky one: would love to see some sort of graphic options that resemble more a person (ie. Earthling/human); note: the character should NOT be too cute (i.e. smiley face) but rather something abstract...yet warm and friendly looking

I appreciate the last one may be a tough one to work with and welcome your own ideas and variations such as the ones received to date!

Thanks again everyone,

looking forward to more ideas

Hi,

I really like your work so far. You have a great clean and elegant style.

I am wondering if you have plans to submit any additional logos. I have posted a Brief Update (see copy above)

No worries if you don't have time. Please let me know so I can reach out to another designer.

As for the font, I like the font in 146 and 113 but would love to see some variations on the graphic in keeping with guidelines set out above. Also open to other font ideas similar to those in the top 5.

Thanks Magie

Hi Magie.

Thanks for writing in. I do have plan to work on the additional design. I will submit them soon for your reviewal.

Stay tune :)

Thanks.

Great!

To get things more focused, following are the points I'd like to have specifically worked on:

1. graphic image should be placed in the area of "g' to balance out the E
2. 'photography' font and graphic color should match #107
3. keep graphic simple (eg. not multiple elements) and same color as "photography'
4. preferred graphic ideas are some kind of butterfly treatment, leaf or an "earthling character". I realize the character idea is tricky but I would love to see any ideas you have on something a bit abstract. The 3rd character in the second row of this image is an example: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32425181/earthling1.jpg

Many thanks again for all your efforts!

Hi

Thanks for the submissions,

I prefer the more natural fonts including yours in 146 and 113

The spelling your Earthling is wrong. missing an "L" after h

see last msg for more detail

thanks again

magie

Hi Magie.

New design with new font for your consideration.

#168 : leaves in butterfly shape
#171 : abstract character figure.

I implement those images into the new font, in case if you want to see how it looks like in another font like #146. just let me know. I just don't want to make you confused with too much of my entries :)

Thanks Maggie

Thanks for the new submissions

like the the graphic; could we try the following variations:

GRAPHIC
1. for graphic try the two different colors used in entry 146
2. make graphic a bit smaller
3. see if it works place between or slightly above "n" and "g"

FONT
1. I really like the style/ balance of the font in 146
2. could we try similar fonts in brownish shade

Thanks again!
Magie

Magie. You're always welcome.

Here's the revisions "
#173 #174 #175 : new figure

Thanks.

Re #173

- Could you please change the color of 'Earthling' font to brown
- keep color of butterfly/leaves and photography the SAME
- again, I like the font of 'earthling' but would like to see some similar variations of the font like in # 170 and #107

- hold off for now with the character variations

Thank you for additional submissions

Thank you so much for the 'character' submissions. I appreciate a lot of work went into them and they are quite good but something isn't working for me with the characters and I would like to go back to the nature theme (unless you have come up with something in the meantime and wish to share)

I would like to keep working with the butterfly/leaves idea
still hoping for color change on #173 - Earthling to brown; keep rest same

If you have the time, open to more font types SIMILAR to #173 and nature graphics

Thank you

Hi Magie. Thanks for your feeback.

#177 : Earthling in brown color

#180 : new font

new nature graphics :

#182 : swan

so far #177 is my favorite among your graphics

thank you so much for all the others, so creative! but would prefer to stick with #177

is there anyway to change the font just a bit. I do like: 1) the non-italics balanced style 2) E and g reaching down 3) color. just make it a bit more like simple looking

hope u have the time

thank you again for all the great ideas!

magie

I am getting close to the final decision...grateful for everyone's patience!

I like a number of designs from different designers but #177 is looking really good with Website and FB page.

Graphic is good for now;

further to previous comments re Earthling font, would love to see following:
- soften the color of "Earthling" a bit; touch lighter brown
- make the "E" especially top part of E a little smaller

Also would appreciate a white on black version (like #186) so I can try it out as watermark like

Thanks so much

magie
Thanks so much

Hi Magie. Thank you for all your follow up in working together for the logo. I really appreciated it.

I will work on the revisions on the fonts, color and style.

Be right back. Thanks.

Hi Magie. Here's the new revisions :

#211 : lighter brown for Earthling with the tail of the E on the top part shorter.
#210 : B&W version

#212 : non- italic version

Thanks.

Hi Thanks for the new submissions

re #212
-would like brown little darker - a shade of brown between #212 and #177
- still don't like shape of E - can you make it look a little smoother? It doesn't seem much different from previous sample
- would still like to try a more smoother font; similar #212 and #177 but less of a hand writing style - see entries # 201 and # 192

thanks again!

Hope to hear from you soon

magie

#214

been contacted by the designer boybud that I have used his butterfly idea.

I try to explained to him that mine is 2 leaves with a stem.

In the meanwhile, i have submitted an entry with less butterfly shape.

I understand but I didn't go for your design because of the butterfly, I liked it because of two leaves on a stem / tree branch idea so I don't agree with his complaint

I have to say I like #177 better; I really like the branch idea;

# 214 looks more like a butterfly which I am moving away from

are you still working on a different "E"?

Thanks again for the changes

That's what I explained to concern designer. I have worked on leaves since my very first entry if you notice.

I'm still working on the new E

Please read this forum if you have time

https://logotournament.com/forum/designer_resolutions/14929?page=1

#217

New E with the image in longer stem.

thank you

re #217 I prefer the #177 E but have to think about it

another note re leaves: with my original brief I included an image "Serenity spa" which had a branch and a leaf attached to it - have a look at the image. I would think the idea was then up for grabs to anyone.

in the meantime, is another idea

1. an abstract form of lotus flower somewhere between the L and the G

2. or a little zen type figure see attached:
Example 1: i like the figure in the top left corner; could be placed in the upper part of E #177 font version or between L and G in Earthling; would like it soft; maybe just outline and NOT too big
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32425181/zen-stick-figure.jpg.zip

Example 2:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32425181/budhapraying.jpg.zip

HOPE YOU HAVE THE TIME to continue working with me

quick follow up to last msg

keep the graphic between L and G
NOT in E area

#239 : gradient style

#241 : outlined style

#239 looks little like horns

#241 looks little like cat ears

sorry that's the first feel

how about one leaf variations

#243 doesn't work

can we try the one leaf idea on stem placed same way as 177

#243 : alternative

#245 : a leaf on stem

sorry missed #245 - I will switch it for now but still prefer #177 :)

#246 : new style of leaves

Yeahh... #177 is still the superstar :))

yes it is ...but #246 is looking pretty nice too. Just when I thought there were no more leaf styles to explore :)


Thank you for continuing to work on this!

#249 : new style of leaves

nice...

#250 : moved leaf a bit towards and into the 'i'

essentially that's right....maybe a touch lower ... yes I know I am picky:)

#251 : lower.. haha

#257 change opacity of leaves - with gradient look; Make Photography a touch bigger if possible

#255 nice but looks a bit like a flame; any other options ? maybe a touch smaller

#251 would like to see in green also with bigger Photography font

Thank you for additional submissions!!

revisions submitted...


bigger photography with lower opacity for the green

Thanks.

#259 looks good; thank you!

#258 can we make the leaves even more transparent? including the branch but keep photography opacity same

#260 still looks a bit like a flame; can we make the leaf less lengthy more like the leaves on branch shape; and reduce opacity of leaf only

Thank you

#261 : less lengthy

#262 : reduced opacity

Thanks.

Good afternoon! thanks for new submissions

#261 not sure yet; will get back to you re

#261 Looks great but could you try the following please:
- make even lighter - more stubtle (see photoshop link) with little gradient maybe - touch lighter on bottom- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32425181/EP_test.jpg - you can try different levels of color
- might have to reduce opacity a bit on branch - not sure
- move Photography a little lower (VERY little)

Watermark
- could you please provide me with white on black versions for both #259 and #261 (for watermark purposes) with reduced opacity on leaves (so that they are not too distracting)

Thank you so much

re above comment I meant #262 for second entry. Sorry

#264: lighter opacity

#265 : black version with reduced opacity

#266 : black version with reduced opacity

thank you for latest revisions

I prefer the #262 version for color tone of leaves

- can you please move the "Photography" down just a little and provide two versions:
1) one with Photography moved down and a bit darker green
2) one with Photography moved down and same color tone as #262

thank you

Hi Magie. Per last revision feedback.

#267 #268 darker green "photography"
