The polar bear looks a little too angry. Clever use of the interlinking "o" and "c" letters, but perhaps the font is a little too strong? 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer Hi axle, sorry for the delay. Okay I will try another version with more nicer looks for the bear. Do you have any samples of logos you like? maybe I can use it as a reference so I can make sure that I'm on the right trackThanks!Best,Ryo 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer here's the updates #4 #5 #6 #7let me know what you thinkThanks! 11 years ago axle33j Client Thanks for the updates. Can we explore the idea of "food chains" or animals that eat/link to each other?Entry #8 the eyes should be smaller and the green highlight around the text looks a bit off (i can't tell if it's a shadow or an outline).maybe we could try capitalizing the word as: ecoChains 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer Okay, will be back soon with the revisions. I'll do my best for youThanks,Ryo 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer how about this? #11based on a food chain.. and the other colored circle are represents the other animals 11 years ago axle33j Client #46 looks pretty good. The font for Arctic Crisis should be changed though. Can you change this font and also try out some other modifications of 46? 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer okay, will do! Thanks for the rank!Best,Ryo 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer Here are another version using the ice mountain as the food pyramid #87 #88 #89 #90 11 years ago axle33j Client I love the food pyramid, but the animal shapes are a little weirdly shaped, especially the seals. 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer Okay.. I'll try another version for the animal icons.. Thanks for the rank! 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer how about these #93 #94 #95 11 years ago axle33j Client 94 is pretty good. Thanks for the improvements. I still don't like the font you've chosen for "Arctic Crisis." It looks handwritten style which looks a bit sloppy.The logos are a little bit busy and remind me of Klondike. Not sure if there is any way to improve that. 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer Okay, hang on. I will refining them and get back to you soon in a moment 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer done #96 #97I removed the half circle background in order to make it looks different with klondike. And it also made the food pyramid become more stands out than before. 11 years ago axle33j Client #97 looks better, thanks. I don't like the double arrows to the left and right of Arctic Crisis; we should experiment with different kinds of fonts i guess. Good work so far! 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer Terrific! Okay then, I'll continue to refining it 11 years ago axle33j Client The second "S" in Arctic Crisis being partially covered up isn't good. The logo is not bad, but maybe it is a little too complicated. I go back and forth between liking the background animals and not liking them. Not sure what to try. 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer I guess you're right... I removed the animals at the food pyramid and it looks more clean and nice #106It doesn't have to literally showing the animals actually.. the food pyramid itself is already represent the food chain... what do you think? 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer the blue color from light to dark is also represent each level of food chain / pyramid 11 years ago axle33j Client 106 is better. Can we try improving 97? there's potential there but still needs work:1. The mark needs a big dose of simplification2. The make needs a "hero," i.e., a graphical center. The idea of using an animal gives a nod to the cards, can be recycled in future decks, and moves us farther away from Klondike.To keep the bear the hero, reduce the prominence and complexity of the iceberg. Keep it simple.3. Address some of the sloppy cuts on the "EcoChains" extended stroke:between the lower leg of the "E" and the bowl of the "C"between the upper bowls of the "O" and "C." There exists an implied horizontal line at the cap height in most places but here. 4. Consistency. between the legs of the "H" and the "A." There exists an implied horizontal line at the cap height in most places but here. 5. Consistency. below the crossbar of the "A" between the leg of the "N" and the spine of the "S." There exists an implied horizontal line at the cap height in most places but here. Consistency. What we want is more negative space, not less. 6. Please Lose the carrots on either side of "Arctic Challenge"There's plenty of visual weight on "EcoChains." Increase hierarchy and contrast by reducing the weight of "Arctic Crisis."Explore a different lockup for "Arctic Crisis" in the case of future iterations with longer names, e.g., Antarctic Crisis, Freshwater Crisis, Mediterranean Crisis, and so forth. 11 years ago axle33j Client The grey shadow underneath the word EcoChains seems too big. What's the difference between 110 and 111?I will give you more feedback soon, after my team reviews the logo. Thanks! 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer whoops, apparently I mistakenly double uploaded them... they are the exactly the same 11 years ago axle33j Client Please remove the grey drop shadow below the word "EcoChains." Please make the "Arctic Crisis" text at a lighter weight (we're already losing the counters of the "A" and "R," even at this size.) 11 years ago axle33j Client Let's try #111 with the warped text (curved like before), no light grey drop shadow, and a less bold "Arctic Crisis." Thanks! 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer okay, I think this is it #117 :) 11 years ago axle33j Client 117 is getting much closer! I noticed there's a blue blob area underneath the "H" that needs to be fixed.I will ask my student to see if he can see any other issues. Thanks! 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer wow! you have eagle eyes! I didn't even notice that! :DOkay there you go #118 11 years ago axle33j Client Hi Musicalryo,I have a file with detailed corrections to send you - what is your email address?Joey 11 years ago musicalryo Logo Designer HI Joey,I'm sorry,,, unfortunately I'm not allowed to give any personal contact while the contest still running.. it's not possible to have any other communication outside logotournament as it against the site rules.. however, if you're sure that you will pick the logo I've made as the winner, you can end the contest first then I'm allowed to communicate directly with you through email.
