Thanks! I really like your work. My one comment is that it looks a little flamenco guitarish to me, and i want more rock and roll, folksy, which is more Austin. Is it possible to tweak just one of them so I could see how that would look? Thanks again.
Thanks for the feedback. #54 and #63 are essentially the same concept, with the closeup on the instrument filling the space. #57 has the instrument outline visible and is more of a blocky, poster feel. If you have a preference on the concepts, let me know, and I'll concentrate my tweaking in the right direction. Fun contest. Thanks.
On # 47, I'd like to see this more rounded looking. i am wanting to do t-shirts first and have something that really pops out. I think the square is holding me back a little. Could you address that? Thanks!
#89 is cool...I really like your style, but the words are hard to read and I think the guitar looks like a woman's body...which could be cool, but not for this. Can you change to fix those things? I really appreciate it! I do want this to work on both a man and woman's shirt. Thanks.
okay...re-examining and I have a request. Could you tweak #93 so that the I followed the Music has the lettering as in #89, and then show me what that looks like straight up and down so that if a woman was wearing it it would follow the shape of her body? (hope that all makes sense.)
I really like this and your providing it in color helps me to visualize what it would like like on a colored t-shirt in color. If I were to choose your logo and you provided it to me in black, would I have the option/ability to print it in just black or any color at a t-shirt printer?
A single color design can be printed as any color -- just by switching the ink used. By selecting the ink color for the design, and the color for the background material (cloth t-shirt, ceramic mug, post card paper, etc), you get a very flexible design. In fairness, the same technique could be used for several other designs I see here. My design is very visually complex, so I like the idea of keeping it all one color to bring a simplicity back into the mix.
I really like your designs, but feel they would really appeal to women, and as for the main design, I think it needs to be more non-gender specific. But that being said, I could use your design in addition to the other if you would be willing to take a 2nd or 3rd place prize amount. What are your thoughts on that?
I don't know what the LogoTournament rules are on awarding additional prize amounts, but I would certainly be interested in anything you can work out with them that doesn't violate any of their rules. I think such things have been done before, but you'll have to ask. It has been a pleasure working on your contest.
I did inquire and you and I would have to work it out between us and down the road it looks like they might offer that as an option, but not currently. Can you give me your e-mail just in case I can't converse with you after the contest ends? I am assuming I can until I make a final decision.
Sure, you can always reach me at www.apatinidesign.com. It's just a placeholder site for now, but it connects directly to my email and it's easy to remember. I've worked in design for years, but I haven't freelanced in a while and I don't have my personal promotional site up and running. I'm re-entering the workforce after having a couple of kids and sitting out for a couple of years. The option to get work via the web is so much more viable now. It's a great way to get back up to speed with all the new software.
Hopefully we can converse this week via. this website, if not I will use your e-mail. I am in the same boat...haven't worked for a few year b/c of raising kids, and this is a business idea that I have. I just started working a regular job too and it is tough! So I know how you feel. Thanks! It's been fun.
I will sell you the logo I've already created, and If you send me a private message with your email address (not sure the one I get on LogoTournament message notification is the right one), I can probably email the design. If the eps file is too large, I can probably figure out how to set up the ftp capabilities of my website. Once I do that, I can post files of any size for you to download. I am interested in future work for you, but I would rather not discuss prices in a public forum. Thanks so much for your interest in my designs.
No. Some designers have asked for private comment pages, but, as of now, it is not private. You can, however, send a private message to anyone in the contest. I think we can agree to work for you in the future, but other designers and LogoTournament staff want to be sure we don't do anything to persuade you to choose use as winners or influence the contest in any way. This is a bit tricky, so you might want to just end the contest and then do any subsequent negotiations.
