#35, use brighter pink for cupcake wrapper, lighter color for the crusting. love and cupcakes should be brighter as well. "For the" and "of" should be larger than "love at first bite" since "love at first bite" is the tagline but "for the" and "of" are part of the name. don't like to introduce purple in the logo. use a different color for the shadow.
#34 is very nice too. same comments apply to #34. rather not using the purple color for the wrapper or anywhere else in the logo.
#51: the logo is a little too busy. remove all sprinkles (on the cupcake and around the name). use a lighter pink for "love" and "cupcake" somewhere in the middle between the current pink and the lightest pink.
after you make these changes, duplicate it and submit one with two different shades of light pink. so, out of the 5 hearts, 3 or in light pink, and 2 are in different light pink (randomly).
I will work on these for you and have some uploaded early evening.... Do you want a font that is more elegant like a script or still a little playful or whimsical or handscript?
elegant and handscript are good but nothing too busy since the rest of the design is already busy enough.
are you able to provide design quicker the next couple of days? i've noticed it takes a little longer for you compared to other designers and that will be a factor in picking the top designers for next round.
I've submitted for you several variations based on your suggestions.
I look forward to your next comments...I hope these give some new options and certainly can be transposed in fonts, layout and color...if the color is still not what you are happy with if you would give me RGB or CYMK %s or HEX #s again I can match them.
Sorry again for the delays, these last two days my busy days and put me into working on LT in the evenings. Nothing other than an emergency would keep me from checking in at least a couple of times a day and uploading designs in the evenings.
For Labor Day weekend though I will check a few times but will be out most of the weekend.
thanks, i like the new ones. can you try a few new ones with a simpler serif or san serif fonts that are modern and elegant? also remove the springs from the cupcake. the font color seems to be in purple family. see if you can make it more pink and brighter (not too bright). thanks
Here are these variations as you requested. I will check back in the morning. If you could mark out the ones that are not your choices I can withdraw those.
by the way, please match the color of "for the" and "of" with the same brown used in the cupcake when you make the other changes I requested earlier. thank you.
#87 and #88 I did the same, if these aren't accurate if you could steer me in the right direction with RGB or CMYK %s it will help me get to the final that you like.
I need to be out for most of the afternoon and will check back this evening again, since I have other art related work outside of graphic design. Thank you for your patience.
so, please redo #78 with the new brown color (same as heart borders) and then create a few new ones with the changed brown color and the suggested fonts.
thanks for the changes. I'm still not too excited about the font for Love and Cupcake. font in #78 is still better than rest. now that you know what kind I like, could you recommend a couple of new fonts for Love and Cupcake?
These attachments have a warning and blocked by my virus scan that they contain a malicious malware... I can't risk allowing the upload and damage my computer....but I probably have some that are very similar to these. Let me ressearch and see if I can find these on some of the sites I use and I'll upload them and later this afternoon send you the changes.
In the meantime if you could check on www.fontsquirrel.com and see you like any on this site...I've never had any problems with this website and they have numerous great fonts even similar if not the same as these...
#94 is my top pick, but still not happy with LOVE + Cupcake font. Trying to find better one online and send it to you shortly.
in case you like to suggest a few options, I'm looking for something simple, elegant, and still a little girly. but I don't want the girly part making it to busy.
also, could you duplicate #94 with the springs that you originally had in the logo?
Can you take #97 and shift "Love and for the" to the right and move the cupcake be on top of Cupcakes? So, first line will be cupcake picture and for the love of, second line will be Cupcakes. Please make two versions, 1 with both lines aligned on right side, and 1 with no alignment.
Also, can you take #97 and somehow add a cute bite mark on the cupcake since the tagline is "love at first bite". So, it would look like someone already had a bite of this cupcake.
Because of the free style illustration on the cupcake the bite marks directly on the cupcake will not work well and would require completely redoing the illustration in a different kind of art drawing to represent that
So instead as a possible option I added a heart as if it were biting the cupcake. I hope these are what you envision.
I think you may know this since I see you are a seasoned CH...but you will not be able to 'Complete' the contests unless the top 3 designs are 3 different designers. Also you may rank as many you like especially up to the top 10 since each design in the top 10 earn points that go towards ranking.
