Thanks

Thomas

Thanks
Makavelli

Thanks
Makavelli

#118 concept : strong clasical wordmark / trustly
----------------
WORDMARKS, not pictorals and no abstracts.

Dear Makavelli

Thanks for your latest No. 118 answering my latest idea pretty close.

As that project is not real estate and after having a look at your No. 118, I believe we need something as your No. 90 or No. 111 which is from someone else.

Thanks

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Got it,
i will added the apps concept somewhere in the text.
Let me see what i can do to improve my rank.

Dear Makavelli

Thank you very much for your brainy work. Now that the open phase is over we request to develop as follows:

General comment: The .com should be put below.

No 90: We like the connected dots, but plz no arrows. Also, it might be a good idea to have closed circles. Can you provide some more ideas on that?

No 152: Very nice idea (my favorite). Can you check wheather the typical symbol for "apps" has rounded corners or like yours sharp corners and incorporate the conclusion on that in your logo? Maybe you can also provide some more ideas on the arrangement of the squares of your 152 concept.

No 118: Can you give a try take out the lines and put the .com below, not above.

Thanks

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your detil feedback / input.
i will update your revision requested in next design submited, with considering in mind that you (owner) might be able to use it in minimum or smallest size without lose any shape, so.. no small shape included in next design.

again, thanks for reviewing my work.

Dear Makavelli

No worries, we will not use logos we dont pay for.

A) 160 is a very good shot. However, the coloring is too close to Google's. Can you bring a better coloring concept than Google? Also, can you try to make sharp corners instead of rounded?

B) Your font is not convincing yet to us. Can you try to make it either more modern and/or more classical, 118. We had a long discussion wheather its possible to combine 160 (web 2.0 style) with font of 118 (classical serious writing). But we did not come to a clear conclusion.

Can you help us?

Thanks

Thomas

P.S.: Are you really from the Heard and McDonalds Islands? I just checked on maps. That is far away from Switzerland.

Hi Thomas,
yes, you must considering various possible implementation with the logo in the future.

A) Revision #164
- sharpen corner [done]
- colors (it did on purpose that each rectangle has own color, it represent many apps involve)

B) Revision #163
- combine 160 and 118 font [done]

C) New Font Revision #164 #165 #166 #167 #168
- try some new font.


P.S :
Naaah.. i am from indonesia thomas, hehehee... just have fun in here.

Makavelli

Your inputs get better and better. Thank you very much.

We blieve we should go for the more colourful as e.g. 163 with sharp corners.

However, we are not sure wheather we have the right colors and / or font, but for the font we like the more classical ones. Do you have improved ideas for that?

Also, can you make a try with APPS in red (as the square)?

Many thanks

Thomas

got it Thomas,
will be updated this night.

P.S
do you ordering designer name ahmenturi to follow my color thomas? i've seen that he/she like following my style again and again, from shape / colors etc... it's like he/she can't propose own idea.

:(

Dear Makavelli

No, I just told ahmenturi that we took the basic decision of going for a more colorful logo.

I keep in mind that you brought up the square-concept.

Thanks

Thomas

Thomas, can i know your work time? i mean when you check the logo here.. it would be nice if both of us online in same time and continously provide input and output.

i will work your last feedback after this.

oh.. one more time,
if you had own color combination to show..
have take a look this site http://www.colourlovers.com/

it might provide many color combination for your logo perspective.

update some classic font #207 #208 #209 #210

let see what you think thomas.
colors still using original, i will find some others after this.

Thanks
Makavelli

i am kind like font #207 thomas, what do you think?

Dear Makavelli

207 is very good.

1) Can you make the G,A,P a bit bigger like 168.

2) The font is nice, keep it, but make it looke less wide.

3) We blieve Apps should have the same color as the most right square. However, we should have more color-combinations. Can you provide that in a last effort?

I am mostly around for the last hours.

Thank you very much.

Thomas

Makavelli

From distance, 210 is even better.

So, please go for 210 as basis:

1) Can you make the G,A,P a bit bigger like 168.

2) cancelled

3) We blieve Apps should have the same color as the most right square. However, we should have more color-combinations. Can you provide that in a last effort?

I am mostly around for the last hours.

Thank you very much.

Thomas

working now thomas :)

#215 original colors and update G/A/P bigger.

working for some color combination now.

Dear Makavelli

Big G,A,P very good, but please with 207 font with a bit less width as my original comment from 11:30 as big G,A,P make add to the classical and we dont want a logo that is too much classical.

Thanks

thomas

hahaha ok, i thougt that was canceled :p

Hey my friend, but with font of 207, dont forget. Thanks

update G/A/P bigger from 207 font

Thanks, I believe we should go for the red of 216.

Makavelli

Which font is better in your eyes for a serious web 2.0 company: 216 or 217??

Thanks

Thomas

#218 new font <-- hahaha... i give you more sample :p
#219 #220 update red

Lock in on the updated red. Whats your opinion on the question re fonts??

hi thomas,

umm... compare for serious web 2.0 company between 216 or 217?
from my personal opinion is i like 217, because it's feel strong / serious but since both are classic font type that has characteristic of serious / trusworthly is's up to you.

(web 2.0 common elements can include: vibrant colors, subtle 3d feel, bold type, color transitions, and shadows)

Makavelli,

Ok, thanks.

Lock in on the font of 219 (I assume its 217 with updated red). Correct me if I am wrong.

Remaining are the colors of the non-red squares. A color concept better than Google. Is that an easy taks?

Thanks

Thomas

hi thomas,

so the fix one is font 217 / red [done]
remaining find 3 colors for others shape right?

working on.

#221 colors combination sample 1 ( shade Red - yellow )

221 not convincing.

Dear Makavelli: Start up your brain, brany man.

Thanks

Thomas

i need make a coffee first then :D
5minute

Should I send you a coffee machine from Switzerland?: Hot and ready in 5sec.


Hey man, why not take the colors for the remaing 3 squares from 216?

Just in case you dont beat Google...

naaaah.. i am fine, just enjoy make manual coffee :p

#219 is google, you think..
#216 maybe not google (i just remove the violet color thomas)

why it's bit to long me to find not a google color?
because the major color like (Red/Orange/Yellow/Green/Blue not Indigo/Violet) are in google logo.
using those color doesn't mean that it was google, logo based on shape combine text and color support the meaning behind the logo.
that's far i know :)

so i need your input to thomas, what is more likely colors that fit on you..
http://www.colourlovers.com/

from me as designer, the apps logo like this must have rich colours [fix] the rest was just clear things up with the text.

Makavelli

i just remmember my friends was in Switzerlandand long time a go, work in some dairy (cow milk), Switzerland is famous here providing a milk *cow milk :D

Makavelli

Thanks for your inputs.

I think we dont need to search further.

Take 216 and exchange the three non-red squares with the ones from 219. Done (I hope).

Thats actually funny. My dad was a main contributor in Nestles efforts to bring the milk powder market in Indonesia to life back in the 70s.

This is also the reason why I was born over there in 1980.

222 approved from my wife ;-)
