CTechLogo Design Contest

Yes I was. Please check our conversation in private message few days a go. I sent the preview there

Were you able to make the change? Add the png, and also provide all in b/w?

Sure, Please check this out #403

Can you try the C with the lightest blue? The Columbia Blue?

That's explain better. Sure, Please check the update :-)

Please color in the negative space currently white C with the lightest blue.

Now Tech is the lightest blue, and the arrow and the background are the medium blue. The Squares triangles are thicker. That's better. Thank you for updating that.

As opposed to what I asked for, what you have here is the C in white keeping the hairline and the curved arrowhead. We can get rid of the hairline once you fill in the C with the lightest blue. Keep the curved arrowhead and the thicker triangles.

Does this explain it better?

Here is what I said in my last ask:
Please have the C and the Tech be the lightest blue. Let's not use the Dark blue anymore. The back of the square and the arrow should be the medium blue.

What about #401 ?

You put it back the way it was. I was told that it will be difficult to have the embroidery do such fine lines as you have made here betweent he triangles. Please figure out how to make that less delicate looking.

Please have the C and the Tech be the lightest blue. Let's not use the Dark blue anymore. The back of the square and the arrow should be the medium blue.

Please check these update #397 #398 #399 #400

Could you put the square a bit closer to Tech, please?

Also, could you make a version that has the Square the same color as the arrow?

Could you close up where there are 4 white spaces between the triangular shapes of the square. You transitioned to that in the past week. But I'd like to see the logo without those spaces.

Ah... I see. Please check this update #396

Please see my notes in the personal message regarding curving the underside of the arrowhead to semi mirror the curves around the rest of the negative space C.

Hi, This is the update according to your drawings

Hi, This is the update according to your drawings

Here's my attempt on following your directions. If its still
wrong please kindly send me the picture via private message. Updates #390 #391 #392 #393

Thanks

Please check your private message. I think you could send the drawings there

It looks like you still do not understand what I am trying to explain. Is it possible for me to draw it and somehow send it to you? There should be a light thin blue line on the short ends of the the bottom of the arrow head as well as around the base of the arrow. The thickness of the line should be as thick as the separation between the triangular points in the square. No thicker than that. I did not ask for the bottom of the arrow to be rounded, but now that you've done so it could be another option.

I like the light blue background of the square with the slightly darker blue arrow and then the darkest blue on the Tech letter. That works.

What I would like to see are two more versions. The light blue outline on the left side of the arrow in the negative space which creates the C, not on the outside of the arrow.

In addition to this light blue light, one version would have the arrow base rounded as you have it here and the other version would have the original straight end of the arrow as you have had it earlier. Please do not continue placing a line smack in the middle of the white space which is the C.

#389

Maybe #387 #388 ?

Sure, I'll work on it. Pls wait for a minute

And can you make the arrow a bit thinner while you are at it.

Can you please outline the inside (left of the arrowhead) of the arrow with the light blue, but the thickness of the line should be very thin so that the C is clear?

Can you do a version of the arrow that has the bottom of the arrowhead (not the rectangle base) rounded underneath each side so it parallels the curve that is on the other curved triangles. Please write to me before attempting if this is not clear.

I like them all! I will confer with our team :-) We MAY ask to remove the little spaces on each side of the square... to make the C even LESS thick... But nice job taking the instruction in general. Thank you :-) I do not think you have had a chance to frame the C with the hairline darker blue however... I will explain later. I have to catch my bus, it is almost 10 pm here!

also #385 #386

Sure, Please check #383 #384

Apparently we're back to the more rounded C because it better matches the ech in Tech.

Could you please have more background of the square, so much of it has disappeared with this fatter C. The way it is here makes it difficult to get embroidered, etc. onto fabrics, etc. So the C will have to be somehow less fat/thick.

Can the arrow tail be 2/3 the current size.

Try a C with and without the outline where the outline is a hairline, not thick and not white. The outline could be dark blue of the background where it's only visible around the arrow perhaps.

The C could be the 284C blue with the 285C blue as the arrow and the word Tech. Then the background as 286C. Right now it is 280C, correct? Some of this will be on a black background, hats, t-shirts, backpacks, so we prefer the blues to be lighter.

Please check these updates from #377 to #382

Try to figure out a way to make the flow of the logo more obvious for the C into the Tech.

Can we also have a set of versions where the C color matches the Tech color and the background color and the arrow are the dark blue with and without the third blue in there somewhere to add additional interest.

These are looking good. Can we try making the C the light Columbia blue and using a slightly official darker blue for the "Tech", without and with the white outline.

Please check these updates as alternatives #374 #375 #376

I don't know that we needed it to be so obviously a C. We were thinking more of a dark color outline around the letter in one of the official blues. You could have kept the more angled C. I will see if they like this rounded version, but now it changes the look a bit.

oh oops. will go look

Please confirm receipt of this latest request.

Sure, Please check these updates #371 #372

Hi, Can you please make the negative space C more obvious? Perhaps put an outline around it? Perhaps put the arrow as another blue? The C needs to be immediately recognizable and legible to the viewer since it's a Columbia University program and right now our committee is saying that it just looks like the relevant letters are only Tech.

Thanks, Please check this update #370

Hi, so far we like this one. Can you please try to make the thickness of the letters "Tech" match the thickness of the C? We'd like to see how that looks.

Hi, I think I understand. Please check these out #364 #365 #366 #367 #368 #369 Am I in the correct path?

Hi, Can you please make the C white space thinner? We are in the last rounds! And want versions off of this design. Can you take the gradient idea and offer it as a second option with the thinner C. In other words a thinner C with Solid Arrow, and a thinner C with a gradient Arrow.

However, I notice that the gradient you did should have just the very tip in the darker blue. The gradient you have in another design you submitted has too much dark blue.

What I want to see is the gradient show people the shape of the T within the arrow. The end of the arrow starts and continues in the lighter blue, then only as it approaches the very last half of the arrowhead itself does the gradient transition to the dark blue.

PLEASE let me know if you understand. If you do not, we only have a little window of time to evolve this into a design that we will love!

Sure, Please check #338

Cool, Thank you

Can the arrow on this design but with CTech go gradient, lighter blue to the dark blue, so the the bottom of the arrow looks like a light blue T

One of our finalists now :-)

Only sizing in the layout

What is the difference between 219 and 220?

Sure, Please check update #219 or #220

Can you flip the colors and make the darker one for Tech and the Top of the graphic PMS 280C

It's ok let's drop it

You're welcome. I'm glad you like them

ok

Thanks! You have some nice ideas. We appreciate your participation! It will be hard to choose!

Please check this update #115

I'm sorry, I didn't understand your instruction. Shall we move from this concept and focusing on another?

We like the simplicity of this one. Can you remove Eugene Lang Entrepreneurship Center. Add the CTech instead and Incorporate the T of CTech somehow in the graphic? We know it's hard given the roundness of the C and the power button icon. Also, we know incorporating the T may make the graphic look just like a G which we want to avoid.

The very top of the arrowhead, versus the stem of the arrow and the bottom of the arrowhead, may be one blue. Then the top of the T can be a thin band, the bottom of the arrowhead. The T/arrow stem can be narrower to match the width of the bottom of the arrowhead. You would not need to have the stem of the T and the down pointing arrow then. Please let us know if you do not understand this instruction. Can you increase the size of the CTech to match the size of the graphic square?

We like the graphic for the Lang Center, but do not see its relevance for CTech.

Please check these updates out #83 #84 #85 #91

Hi, Thank you for your feedback and rank. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Hi, we like where you're going with this logo, however please note the updated more detailed description about what seek. If you read the description it said the program we wanted the logo for is nicknamed CTech. We are the Lang Center and we do not need a logo for that right now.

Please see if you can make top of the T within bottom of the arrowhead in the topright corner of the graphic, have the top of the T one color with the base and the top of the arrowhead can be another color and yet still seem like an arrow? Maybe an outline around the whole arrow?
