I love the skyline on #59, but can I'd like to see it with the O and C seperate if possible. Thanks!

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I'd love to see it without the overlapping letters at the end.
Although I love the skyline idea, I'd love to see it more refined to be some of the iconic Chicago buildings that would be more recognizable as Chicago. Thanks!

Hi Becky,

Done revisions for your review. I think is better now:
#71 | #70 - The only different between this 2 is on the heart.

Please tell me what you think please. Here are 5:40 am. Tomorrow i will be here at the begging of the afternoon and be back again by night i can work on changes if you wish.

Best Regards,
João

I LOVE #71 :) I think the only thing I'd like to see different is maybe the skyline not connecting on the O in Chicago. I don't mind it on the E, but for some reason on the O it doesn't look as natural. Or maybe not connecting on either side? Thank you!

I´m very glad Becky that you feel identify with the new logo revisions, thank you for the comment : )

Done variations based on your feedback:
#73 | #74 | #75 | #76

I will be back at night. Any more suggestions you want to give please feel free. If i have a better ideia for the layout with the skyline i will submit later also for your review.

Best Regards,

Hello Becky,

I´ve submited some variations for your appreciations:
#79 | #80 | #81 | #82 | #83 | #84

Thank you.

Thanks for the new variations. Although I will be doing photography, it will also be other vendors (flowers, hair/makeup etc) so I don't want it to specifically mention photography.

Hi Becky,

I´ve send some new ideias. And a new slogan. Although i´m not very good with slogans, but if you want to try anyone please feel free. I´ve just liked the idea of seing a slogan there and i was trying some. If i´ve any better ideias for slogans i will write here ok? The first one that comes to my mind now is services, but that don´t sparks to much. I think it will be good some kind of setence.

In the future you can use a logo with or without a slogan. Hope i´m not bothering you with this lol. Are just ideas. Maybe you don´t want a slogan : )

Thank you Becky anything you need feel free please.

Best Regards,
João

Hey! Thanks for the new revsions. I think I'm okay without a slogan for now although I appreciate the effort. I don't even know what I'd want it to say so maybe I'm better without it for now.
I do like #89 quite a bit but the heart seems kind of awkward just floating there.
Would it be possible to see it with some different fonts? Or maybe the elope to in a different, but the Chicago part the same?
Thanks!
Becky

Logo Designer
You´re welcome Becky! Ok no slogan.

Yes sure, i´ve done what you ask.Variations with the heart:
#92 | #93 | #94 | #95 (this one the line have colour)

The rest i´ve used different fonts just this one is the same font with the line with colour: #96

I´ve choose the best ones i know for the purpose. Hope you like them. Tomorrow i will be back again Becky.

Please review, and give all the feedback you need. Any more changes if needed or ideias you want to share are always welcome.

Best Regards,
João

Awesome! I like the heart placement on #93. Would it be possible to see that one with the Elope to part in a more scripty font, but the Chicago the same?
Or maybe one with the skyline as a solid instead of an outline? I don't know… what do you think about that?

Thank you so much for these!
Becky

Great, glad you like it. And warm welcome :)

Yes it is i´m working on it and will submit asap. Just not sure about the solid instead of outline but i will try also.

Best Regards,

Great! Another thought is flipping the flatline to the other side. I had some friends give me feedback and they mentioned it reminded them of a heartbeat monitor that has flatlined haha. I didn't think that at all, but maybe if it were on the other side no one would connect that?
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Hahaha. Now i´m thinking on it just because you said Becky, i´ve never associated also. I will do some versions flipped and without the line. thanks for sharing
10 years ago
 
Thanks! I didn't see that at all either, but I don't think a dead heartbeat is a great association for a wedding site lol.
10 years ago
 
I think it's fine on the right for the square shape like #93. Especially with the heart there. I don't think that needs to change.
I think it's just one the other where the line is much longer that the heartbeat comes into play.

Logo Designer
Great ideia Becky. ; ) How i didn´t remember that.

I will submit a lot of revisions. Just some more minutes. Hope they aren´t to many. I´ve done one as you ask above also. You will see right away.

Hi Again Becky,

Like you ask above:
#150 | #151

I´ve done other several revisions for your consideration. Based on what you will choose i can refine it better.

Feel free to give great feedback as always. Anything i can do just say please. Maybe in some minutes i will sleep because here is 4 am. I´m really enjoying working with you on your logo. :) Tomorrow i will be back.

Best Regards,
João

I didn't even think about the time change… go to sleep! There is alot here to look at! I'll try to leave some notes tomorrow, but I'm heading to Texas so I'll be traveling for a good part of the day. I'm going to print them out and go over them on my flight and try to really narrow it back down so we can wrap this up! I truly appreciate all the options!

Hey! Sorry I didn't leave comments last night - it was a long day of travel.
After reviewing them all I think I like #116 the best. I moved it into the #1 spot.
My only issues with it are that the skyline needs to be flipped so that the buildings are in the right order (like they are in #73). Of course the view is different depending where you are, but I think that way is the most common view or angle that I'm used to.
I like the filled in look as I think it reads skyline more right away than the outline did.
The only other thing might be just a tiny bit more space between the ELOPE and the TO so it doesn't read as one word. And can I see the CHICAGO in black instead of grey? Not sure which I like, but I use so much black it might tie into other things nicer with a little in the logo somewhere.

Sorry for all the changes! I think after that it should be perfect!
I'm off on a wine tour during the day tomorrow, but I'll try to check back in tomorrow night!
Thanks,
Becky

Hello Becky,

Here are revisions for your consideration: #155 | #154 | #153. I like the add of the black.
What do you think?

#153 - The spacement is the same, just flipped the city.

No problems Becky. We still have time to refine the logo if you want. Anymore moves you need feel free please. I will do all the changes you need.

Enjoy in the wine tour relax. I will wait for the feedback no worries : )

João

Hey! Sorry I've been away - I was in Texas with literally no internet for a couple of days.
I moved my favorite into #1. I think I definitely like it with some black in there.
Is there anyway to seperate the C and the A in Chicago?
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Welcome back Becky : ) No problem.

Yes it´s possible. I´m not at home right now. In 3 hours or maybe less i´ll be there and will submit asap the design for your review.

I can do more variations if you wish.

Hi again Becky,

I´ve submite revisions for you appreciation:
#159 | #160 and #161

Please tell me what you think. Again any changes you amy need just say and i will work on them.

#159 looks great although I think seperating the C and O made the H and I move closer together.
Anyway to put a little space between those as well like it was in the previous designs? From a distance it all looks like part of the H.
I think with that fix it will be perfect!

Reviions #162 and #164

I think the spacement between letters "Chicago" is better on this one #164

What do you think Becky?
10 years ago
 
I think we have a winner! #164 looks perfect! Thank you so much for all the revisions and work you've put in!
I'm on my phone now, but officially make this the winner tomorrow morning as I imagine it will be easier to do via my laptop.
Thanks again!

Hey! One last quick question - would it be possible to space the chicago out just a bit more so that the E and C line up and the O's line up?
I know that's super picky, but for some reason it's bothering me that it's just slightly off and the others weren't. I know the font size went down a bit.
Is that possible?
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Offcourse Becky! : )

No worries! We can do changes until you see is perfect. Yes i see what you mean.

I´m at work right now. When i get home. I will submit some variations for your review asap.

Thank you so much for the feedback B.

Made revisions:
1st
#165 | #166 - Text and logo all align. The word "Chicago" is a little bit smaller then "Elope to"
#167 i´ve put the text a little bigger

2nd
#168 | #169 - As you see "Chicago" is a little off the logo alignment, but the size of the letter is the same as "Elope to"
#170 - i´ve put the text a little bigger

Please tell me what you think Becky? I can work on more changes if you need. Anything just write me, i will be around.

Best Regards,
João

#165 looks good! Can you just bring the word Chicago down a bit so that the A and the E have a little more space. They almost look like they are touching. I think the spacing in between the Elope to and the Chicago looked perfect on #164.
Thanks!
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
You´re welcome. Sure Becky. And done:

#171 same spacing as #164

And #172 wiht little less spacing

What do you think?

I don't know if it's too late for this, but I just downloaded the files and the purple looks a lot different on those than it did before. It's almost a neon purple. I like it better when it was more toned down to a purplish pink as it was on the examples. I don't know if it's just because I can view it larger now.
Is there still time to change that or am i too late now?
10 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Yes Becky we can do it by e-mail now ok?
