Everyone Is Welcome!Logo Design Contest

Introducing my first concepts using a smile: #243

When someone is welcome, it is impossible not to smile :)

Hi marcocram;

Thank you for sending me many interesting concepts. They have a very clean and sharp designs.

Of all of them, #244 is the one that interests me most. Is there a way to plus it a bit?

Sincerely,

Chris

Thanks for the feedback Chris,

I will prepare some variations for you.

Are you looking for something abstract or figurative for this contest? I mean I see some entries like animals silhouettes ranked and maybe I can try something out of the box.

Please share with me your thoughts.

Thanks!

Regards,
Marco

Hi Marco:

Thanks for asking for my feedback.

Logos with lots of content might look great if they were postcard size, but the logo I am hoping for needs to work in a very small format, like at the bottom of a webpage, the size of the typical Twitter "bird" or "F" from Facebook icon.

I am open to any cool looking design as long as it is simple for people to understand that is conveys that "Everyone Is Welcome.

Your #244 is probably not readable if it were much smaller.

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Marco:

Thanks for sending four more concepts.

#382 has potential, but if this logo is tiny, the small slit opening in the "e" might not be evident.

Chris

Thanks for the feedback Chris.

Here some alternatives to make my concept stronger: #385 #386 #387

Hi Chris,


Hope you can provide me some direction to improve my entry. I am still in the fight! :)

Hi Marco:

I have selected you as one of my top five designers.

I am interested in your concept #385 and would like to see how you may be able to improve it.

This entry is not comparable, in my opinion, to some of the excellent work you show in your portfolio. I selected you because of that talent.

Use your talent to plus your concept so it has more awesomeness. Right now it just looks like a doormat with a lower can "e" on it.

The logo I select needs to be able to be understood even if very, very small, like the small Twitter "bird" or Facebook "f" seen on the bottom of web pages.

It also needs to look good in a very large size, crisp, clean and strong, and very easy to understand.

And I will need the logo with white background and transparency backgrounds.

I must be able to trademark the logo in the USA and EU. So, please ensure that your design is unique enough to pass the test of government regulators.

The goal of my logo is for it to become an emblem for an anti-discrimination. It will proclaim that businesses that display the logo will not discriminated against people for any reason and that "Everyone Is Welcome."

Thank you for sharing your time and talent.

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for believe in my work.

I will give my best until the end of your project!

Dont hesitate to contact me If you would like to see any variation or adjustment.

Regards,

Marco

I am preparing a brainstorm of ideas to improve my proposal and make it closer to discrimination concept.

Hi Marco:

Thanks for your effort and for sending along new concepts. These aren't right for me, yet.

Your LT profile shows that you can create what looks like three dimensional objects, shadowing, etc, logos that pop.

The logos you have sent to me are not comparable to your best work, in my opinion. This may be in part due to my need to keep it simple, small and easy to understand.

Respectfully,

Chris

Yes Chris, I understand your point but you are right I didn't used any kind of effects in my entries yet because of the importance of the reduction so I am trying to keep a simple and readable logo. Maybe too minimalist.

Believe me I am breaking my mind thinking about a concept that enclose everything you need. Hope I can find it soon. If you can give me any clue, feel free to do it I will be working this weekend.

Thanks for the feedback again.

Regards,
Marco

Just one question, could I use colors or you need the logo just in one black tone? This is a very important point. Obviusly we can develop a one tone version for any logo but I need to know your thoughs please.

Hi Marco:

I really respect and appreciate your effort.regarding my contest.

I am trying to stay away from colors because businesses that may display it may only have a one or two color budget. But please send me what you think is best, even if it includes color.

Please send what you think works. You are the professional graphic artist.

I am also going to move you up in the ranking because of your excellent communication with me.

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your message. I just wake up to prepare my finals entries before the contest ends.

I will show you what I think could work for your business.

Thanks for moving me in the ranking.

It is too late here, so I am going to sleep now and If you need anything don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco:

May I see #442 in all black and white, please The dots need to be of different sizes to reflect the differences in people as they approach the "e."

Also can you please show me #442 in all black and white, with NO "o" in the wall of the "e" but with black dots actually inside and outside the "e" of various sizes?

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Marco:

Can you also please show me versions of #442 with the ends of the "e" rounded and not straight? This might convey welcome better.

Chris

Hi Marco:

Solid black and white image. No shades of black, please.

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the feedback. Here are the adjustments requested:

#449
#450
#451
#453
#454

Here are the rounded versions, in color, black and gray scale:

#457 #458 #459

Here are some versions working in reduction: #464 #465 #466

#465 try to show a person enclosing with his arm all the different sizes dots (people) to show non discrimination concept. It would be great If we use this entry in colors too because this emphasize the concept #467

Sorry for the double post Chris.

Hi Marco:

I was not clear enough with my guidance.

I do NOT want the word NO to appear.

And Can I also have a hollow dot, just the edge of the dot to show more diversity between dots?

And can all of the dots be inside the opening of the "e" please?

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Hi Marco:

Can you remove the dot in the "e" please?

Chris

Sorry for misunderstood your direction Chris, here are the new versions: #470 #471 #472

Thanks for the ranking Chris,

I will leave my home now, but I will come back in about 3 hours.

We can continue working in the logo in the judging phase.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Marco

Hi Chris,

I just arrived home, I am ready to continue working.

Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco:

Thanks for your can-do spirit. I am going to take a day or so to talk with people on my end about your excellent concept.

I will be in contact with you soon.

Sincerely,

Chris

Great! Thanks you very much.

Dont hesitate to contact me at any time.

Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco:

I am about to pick my logo designer, and I want it to be you!

You have designed a very, very nice logo and it helps convey the "Everyone's Welcome" theme very well.

I will need to see if a few tweaks make the logo better? And I will pass these ideas along to you soon.

And I'll need the final version of the logo to be available in a format that does not lose resolution no matter how big or small it appears. I need the ability to make it high resolution as well as web-ready (lower resolution. Can you do this with your software?

And I'd like a color and black and white version. With the color, I'll like to know the Pantone #s of each color eventually chosen.

I also want to add the short phrase:

Everyone's
Welcome

to the bottom of one version of the logo. After all, no one will know what the logo means right away. I want to put the phrase:

Everyone's
Welcome

in English, Spanish and French.

Not sure if the "Everyone's Welcome will need to be in CAPS or what font is best?

Thank you for your work and for your reply.

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your message.

No problem i will provide you all the formats and versions requested.

In the platform I just can upload EPS and JPG but I can email you AI, EPS, PDF, PNG of each version.

I will prepare the adjustments now, which version do you prefer? #475 or #478?

Thank you very much, I am very happy!

Regards,

Marco

Hi Marco:

Can you tweak the logo a bit, please? I am undecided if I use the "e" with an square edge (like #447 in B/W and #450 in color) or round (like in #478 in B/W and #480 in color).

Or with one edge square and the other edge rounded?

Can you please show me the lower part of the "e" extending a bit more to the right?

Please show me what the center line of the "e" (that leads to the dot on the side) looks like if it is a bit shorter? And also what the center line of logo looks like rounded a bit?

Also, as mentioned in my last post, I'll need a version of the logo with text under the icon stating:

Everyone's
Welcome

Do you think it should read:

EVERYONE'S
WELCOME

Either way, I'd like the text lines to be flush with each other.

Do you have a certain font in mind?

Also, want to be sure that I can trademark the final product.

Sincerely,

Chris
