Wow thank you... you have given me quite a few options to look at quite late in the game!

What I would really like to see is a lettermark however. In the breif I mentioned how we want to move away from having our legal name in the logo and using geographically limiting imagery... so we need a modular design (similar to #118, #119, #120, #121). Except the lettermark would take the place/be integrated into the graphic somehow. I do like the "hills" in #111 and #112.

Your designs are all very nice and 5 years ago would have been perfect for our organization but now we are trying to brand "fRI". However, I liek your style and I am confident you can come up with a solid lettermark with a more institutional feel.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback.
I made some changes in my designs and re-upload them.

Let me know waht you think. I all of them i try to make it more organic and less "squared".

I like number #133. However, I would reduce the size of the "RI" in relation to the "F" and I would increase the size of the legal name and tagline and in relation to the lettermark. It is a nice play on our old colours but yet the design is not limiting gepgraphically (yes it represents hills/landscape but it is not in your face which is nice).

You know in design #111 the hills were wider than the top half of the logo... Can you do a version of #144 and #145 with the same type of treatment?

Logo Designer
update: #149, #150 and #151

Something like that?
12 years ago
 
Client
Yeah that is what I was thinking... coudl you possibel reduce the "weight" of the letter "f" (it seems to bold) and possibly adjust the placement of the lettermark in #150 and #149 as it seems too low in the circle right now.

When you re-output the logos I like the bold tagline but I think we can lose the italics and possibly stretch the tagline a bit larger so it is justified under the legal name...

I woudl also like to see a version with just the tagline beside the lettermark

So I would like to see:
- #144 with revisions above
- #144 with a lowercase "foothills"
- #144 with just the tagline using the same font as foothills but in grey
- #149 with revisions above
- #149 with a lowercase "foothills"
- #149 with just the tagline using the same font as foothills but in grey

Hello, how are you?
Sorry for the delay but I'm still in my company (im owner of an design agency), and files from your contest are in my house.
At the judging mode only the 1st place can insert new versions of the designs. At this stage you can rearrange the first place as often as you want.
So I wonder if you can wait for my return to my house tonight so I can make all the changes you have requested.

What do you think about it?

Thank you for understanding.

update: #230
12 years ago
 
Client
Had a quick review internally and before we send the logos around for final input I need a couple changes.

In #213, #216, #217 can you:

- remove the horizontal and vertical grey line breaks and readjust the placement/spacing of the legal name & tagline in relation to the lettermark?

When you output the files try to make them as big as possible (reduce white space) so we can see more of the logo....

Send me a note when you are ready to upload.

Done it.


Done.

To assist in the defense of my Logo, I would like to make some notes.
Following the concepts of innovation and nature / forest, I sought to strengthen the right curves and circles to pass the concept of movement, cycle, growth and innovation.

The forms created are also intended to convey the idea of mountains, landscape, and the idea of ​​layers, as if we looked at the ground with a "x-ray" view

I believe that it meets the very direction of your company and manages to convey the concepts proposed by it.

I open to any changes that will improve the logo.

Best Regards.

Can you adjust the spacing between the 3 lines of text in #233 to be more like #231? In #231 the text seems justified with the top and bottom of the lettermark/circle and in #233 it seems compressed a bit. We prefer the lowercase foothills.

The only other change is possibly moving the 3 lines of text to the right a bit... they seem to be crowding the lettermark/circle.

update: #235

in #236 i made some changes in the symbol, just to see how will work,

Best

Is there anything that i can do for you?

-macgui

Client
I think I like the orginal symbol is #235... the subtle offset adds something.

I think I have no more revisions at this point. I will be presenting these options to our senior management shortly and will be getting back to you asap.

Thank you for your attention.
