Thanks, interesting idea. We're not so happy with the western look cactus though. Gives me the wrong associations... desert, guns etc... and as primary logo we need a standing.
Yes, you're onto something. I like the feeling that the cactus is a character. This entry is much more playful which is what we want... I'm not sure about the ring and I'd like to see a more rounded font perhaps.
Referring to #10. The font in this one is better than in #5. Would like it heavier...(?) I like your illustration, not so sure about the pot... The feeling with the cactus is towards the right direction, he looks friendly and full of rowdyism.
Also think that the logo need to look good when resizing it down to 154px width. In #10 #11 it's hard to see the details... in that scenario #5 is a better option...
Thanks for your amended designs. I'm not convinced, sorry. I still tend to like your initial suggestions more... Do you think you can work a bit on #5? I like the idea of the cactus wearing a garment, perhaps do something with that?
Also, an idea out of the blue, what about placing it on a (price)tag or neck tag... just an idea.
Look forward to see your next entry.
Thanx for the offer with the web design but it's not a template. We can of course make it wider or smaller, but i was just trying to highlight the fact that it will be used in small sizes in various ways (website, blogs, banner etc.)
Also, i'm missing some web 2.0 feeling on the tag, a filter of some sort maybe, want it appear more "glowing" or am i making no sense here, feels like it ;-)
Can you try with making the character go all the way to the edge (no border on tag). Can you try making the hole on the back of the cap a bit bigger. Reflection on text (?)
Thanks for you latest submission. You've done all changes i requested and really done a great job. I feel bad for telling you, but i guess that's the hard life of being a contest designer, that we have decided to go for #79. He or she pretty much nailed it from start, sorry.
I'm sure i will be back for another contest soon again, we got many projects in the pipeline, hope that you will be interested in entering that one as well. I will put you up for high ranking for points as a small appreciation of your hard work!
