#14 Another thought I had was turning the blue swoosh into a speech bubble....still not a fully visible one as I like the swoosh, but maybe adding the curved point somewhere pointing down so it is evident that it is a speech bubble....just an idea.
Okay, #17 is better with the words, but I still want to see a variation on the swoosh. Let me try to explain. Instead of making an obvious speech bubble like you did in #19, #18, #16...look at #17 and imagine that the swoosh is the partial outline of a nearly 3D speech bubble, or at least one that is suspended in the air and laid back. Now, just draw a friendly (curved) pointer for the speech bubble and maybe even throw a subtle shadow underneath it. Give it a shot....if my text arrangement isn't clear, I could possibly try to sketch it out and post it somewhere for you to view.
You could almost think of it as a "kickstand" for the swoosh/speech bubble.
blackstar--nice work. I think I'd like to see the speech bubble pointer get moved up higher on the swoosh....and have it be something with a little more curve to it....not so sharp like a bee stinger. (: I'm mixed on the shadowing and the gray shading...probably just go without that. Also, if you'd incorporate a TM into the logo and show me what it would look like on a black background.
To see the shape of the pointer, look at logo number thirty-two. Something like that, but moved up.
#41 Okay...I like that. Would still like to move the pointer even further to the right, so that the point of it is almost pointing at the tagline. Would also like to see what you would do for a square version, ie having the bubble/money above the FriendSpend name and slogan in something that maintains exact square proportions. Also want to add the TM symbol to indicate trademark. And still want to see how all of this would play out on a dark background/ie black.
#52 Blackstar--thanks for your hard work and continued revisions. Looking good. I like the thicker white line between the money BUT not 100% sure about the changes to the blue line as it gets quite a bit thicker on the top right.
In #53, I think I'd like to see the positioning of the graphic element moved back down to where it was in #41. Sorry---just not sure I like it up that high.
thanks for all feedback. i have made changes which you want on #41 ( #47 #48 #49 #50 ) olso, i have send the bolder version of bubble curvee( #51 #52 #53 #54)
Blackstar--I really like #57 and #58.Put them in 1st and 2nd place. Thanks for all the revisions. Of course, I'll need both of these versions if you end up winning, along with the versions of each on black.
No. I'm going to need black and white versions of each as well, but otherwise, they look great. Appreciate all your hard work! You've been very responsive to all change requests....not something I saw from every designer.
