#12, 13 & 14 - Like these a good bit. Not sure about the G1 inside the frame. Dont like the location of Custom Picture Framing in #12. Like the black background of #14 #23, #25 #30 - Much better. I like the G1 in #23 & #25 better. I Like the frame in #25 the best.
I've made an adjustment to the "G1" and made the remaining words much more visible. I really appreciate your feedback and hope to nail this design for you. I'll see what else I can come up with.
#32-36 I like all of these ....but I don't think the winner is there yet. I don't care for the 'glass' in 36. I like the colors in all of them. I think I prefer the G1 in #25 over the G1 in 32 & 35. I don't think I like the way it is turned, even though it gives it depth. I like the "look" of 33, 34, 36 but can't sell myself on the look of the G1.
I understand the difficulty of making Picure Framing have more weight. I might suggest taking the emphasis off of 'Custom' and putting in on 'Framing'. Originally I was going to name the business G1 Framing, but everyone that has seen that name confuses it with house framing, so I added the Custom Picture to clarify. That said, the way it is presented in 33 & 35 is better. At least it is all equal there.
#25 This is becoming one of my favorites. I really like the frame. My biggest Problem is the G1. I just am not crazy about it. Also get the emphasis off of "Custom"
#61 #62 I think I prefer 61 but 62 is interesting as well. I will need to get some more opionions. My wife really likes the frame on your designs. It is obvious that it is a picture frame, which is why you are the front runner. I know you have put a great deal of time into this.
Can you possibly do a couple more with a different frame. Something that is similar...an obvious picutre frame...yet different from what we have. I am just wondering if it is a little too cartoonish. Also maybe play with the fonts a little for Custom Picture Framing. Pick something that you think lookds really good.
#61 I dropped this down to position 3 because the more I look at it the more amateurish it looks. It looks like something I would have come up with myself...which is good becuase it means you have the same concept I do, I just feel like it is missing that "professional look". See if there is anything you can do to tweek it a little.
I like this G1 inside the frame a lot better. Dont care for the reflection in 89. The one thing they everyone liked in 61 & 62 was the fact that the frame looked like a frame...the curved sides, etc....I just felt it looked a little cartoonish. I wish you could combine these styles and give me a curvy frame that had more "polish ot it"
For entry #102, on the website, it appears that the black border within the frame is uneven, but I assure you it is balanced in my original file. I uploaded it 3 times with the same unusual result.
Thanks for all your work and your entries. Initially you had a lock on #1. You were giving me what I wanted and what I had in my head. In the end, I guess that was a bad thing. Some of the other designs opened my eyes to some new ideas and seem to do a better job of doing what I want to do. I have had a lot of people look at all the entries and I get a better response to something different than what I had in my head going into this. It has been a great experience, but also very difficult to select a winner.
