Raymer - #10 is my favorite design so far. Please - no tagline. 11 is also great but I think I prefer the blue - very nice use of the grey with a color - thank you!

Hi there, thanks for your feedback, ill leave the tagline out from now. Glad the colours are to suit :)

Is there any chance I could see some variations of 15 with different treatments of the dot on the "I" such as triangle with no explosion in grey as it is and also in the blue? Other ideas - maybe a strong circle dot on the eye with another version repeating the dot inside the "a" like a target? These are just off the cuff ideas for you to explore or ignore -- your designs are amazing and I would love to see more. Rhyme not intended. Thank you.

Client
Man this is cool but the dots are eating me alive. Any chance I could see it with just a dot over the I and a dot in the a. Use a regular size dot over the i and use the exact same size in the a - in either color. You've got an amazing eye - please continue - I really appreciated it.

Client
#45 is going to finish in the top 5 if I get 100 moe entries - this is really close. I beg you to show me this with only one triangle over the "i" -- two versions with the triangle in either color. It's simple - its clean and professional but still a little warm and friendly and just one understated symbolic fin -- that is everything I am looking for. Please please show me more - every one of your designs is a contender - you are awesome.

Hi again, sorry for frustrating you, but it was early and i was on my way out when i uploaded, so i was rather rushed. I have took on board the last 2 messages, all taken in, and will upload something for you soon :)

Any chance I could get your opinion on 58 and 56? I'm sort of in love with 58 - its got the simplicity and basically perfect understatement of the fin. 56 is also very nice - I'm worried the target is too cliche - but since targeting is so central to the business - maybe its good. What do you think? Give it to me straight, if you don't mind. Again - great work.

..personally (and going with current trends) id go with #58 as the simplicity 'kicks' there, where as the target is not as easily read IMO..i also prefer the blue triangle (your current number 1). Hope this helps :)

Client
That does help. 58 is amazing. My wife is a fashion designer with a great eye - she reminded me that "Target" retail stores here in the US are so dominent that all targets sort of refer to it. Every design you did was useable and highly ranked - I think you've occupied the top spot since you joined the fray. I REALLY appreciate having access to your work - thank you.

Thanks, thats cool feedback, i just uploaded #69 using an alternate font for further options :)

Client
I hesitate to start a sentence this way, but thanks for 69. I'm still preferring 58. Thank you!

..i was the unfortunate one to upload at that time :/

..also uploaded #80 with the fin reversed, im not sure if i like it that way though..
11 years ago
 
Client
Yes - I prefer 58 still. Now folks are using 58 as a template - which is probably not uncommon but I know an original raymer from a copy!

Logo Designer
..ha ha, glad to see you 'got the eye' ;)

..i seem to 'inspire a lot of folk' on LT :)

Client
I agree - I like the fin in 58 more than 80. When the fin swims left to right as in 58 - it's echoed under the k...

Client
mind blown. All these new ones are great but I think a subtle fade (125) is really great. Could you try one more with just a TINY but more contrast on fade? 125 is my new number 1.
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
..so glad you like #125, i was not so sure if you would notice the slight gradient on a small preview, but you did :) Ill make a couple of changes and will upload again shortly :)
11 years ago
 
Client
You've got an amazing eye - so I need to ask - which one of these do YOU prefer? Could you let me know your favorite - or send me a version with a fade - similar to 125 that you like best?
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Personally, #130 is for me, the gradient is slightly more than #125 but less than #131. The grey seems to 'compliment' the blue more in my opinion..

Client
Ray - you won this days ago but I think we landed on 130. This is my first LT. There were a ton of entries and I'm not exactly sure how to spread the love around or if it matters. If you have any advice or preference on handling the top 5 - let me know. Thank you for a great job.

Thanks for cool comments, as long as we have three different designers ranked 1,2 & 3 then we are all happy really :)

Client
There is a designer - Scott - who had a very nice design. I told him I liked it and he did a TON of work but unfortunately - he never improved his initial effort. I'd like to give him 3rd place to thank him - he put in a lot of time. Can you live with that?
11 years ago
 
Client
Wait - maybe I don't understand. 3 different designERS ranked 1-2-3? I thought you wanted your designs ranked 1-2-3 -- you prefer 3 designers occupy 1-2-3..?
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
..lol, it is a bit confusing first time around, its all good to rank Scott second, but yes, you must have 3 different designers occupying the top 3 spots, its all good that way :)

Client
I'm good with 130 - but I was wondering if you would mind making an extra version or two. I know you've already put in a lot of time so if this is asking too much I understand and it won't change anything. What I thinking about are (strictly treatments of 130 - no big changes):
- On dark background - would you need to change anything?
- With a full or partial border around the word?

Why oh why did you have to be from England! I need more work - if only you were from Belarus - the exchange rate... :D

Logo Designer
..sure i can upload a dark backed version, ill also see what a bordered version is like too. Ill upload shortly :)

Logo Designer
..just uploaded #162, which is the exact logo from #130 but on black. On #163, i made some slight adjustments to the colours as i felt #162 was too dark. I have no problems supplying both logos to you, one for dark background and one for light. Ill look at trying aborder now too :)
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
..also #164 & #165 with 2 styles of borders. If you need to see any more, just let me know :)
11 years ago
 
Client
The extra bright for dark background in 163 looks perfect. Your borders are really cool. If you have time - I'd like to see a border that doesn't follow the letters. Maybe the shape of a capsule and/or rectangle with rounded corners. We're great already on everything you've done but IF you have time please send. Thanks.

..i just uploaded #172, was that how you meant ? Thanks :)

Client
Just want to consult with my wife before I finalize but basically thinking that 130 is it. I'm sort of interested in having some other versions in my pocket even though I might not need to use them. I want to be sure to not break any LT rules so I'll just contact you through LT after contest? Really glad we could work on this and thanks again for a great job.
