in this tree i make a hand recieving light ... being blessed

(This comment references Entry #101)

in these version i try to make the tree in cross format

(This comment references Entry #108)

Hello!

I'll list out our thoughts : )

Colors - We're not really liking the red...we do like the colors in #109 (we like how the shading is done in this one as well b/c it makes it look more 3-D), the colors in #108 were a bit too simple.

Shapes - We like the square with the rounded corners better than the circles.

Trees - We definitely like the idea of of integrating the tree with the cross, our favorite tree so far is the one in 109.

Hands - We like the idea of using a hand in keeping with servanthood/reaching out to the community, but do not like the current design. We also again would like to stay away from red.

Text - We don't like breaking up the text with color, we'd like to keep it all the same color. With the bullet points it may be cool to use little leaves in keeping with the tree theme instead. Or another idea is underlining the motto with a branch...see what you think!

Also on the motto....if we could keep with "Living Christ in Our Community" that would be great...our team does not have the authority to change that...

Thanks so much!

hello, im glad that you like my design. Now im in home, tomorrow mornig i will go to my office and make the changes that you asked for.

have a good night.

bye

hello, in this version i made the changes that you asked. I put more gradient in the brown area to make more 3d effect. Also i put the leafs instead the circles. Change the font color.

IN this one i change the leaf to branchs

(This comment references Entry #128)

In this logo i put a reflection effect. Let me know if you like it.

(This comment references Entry #129)

A horizontal aplication of the last logo

(This comment references Entry #130)

We really like the reflective effect on the symbol, it seems to be cut off though in entry #130. It we could try making the trunk a little longer/thiner...this may make the green portion under the tree smaller which is fine...it would make the tree a little bit larger and maybe a little more recognizable.

here is the changes... i make some version of it.

cheers

(This comment references Entry #146)

the next 5 logo i make some different colors combinations

tell me what you think.

see ya

(This comment references Entry #149)

we like the tree in 146, but like the text in 129
can we try the motto in more of a script font?

the tree really needs to be recognized as a cross first and then as an after thought a tree, if that makes sense....we don't want people seeing it and thinking it looks like a tree and then realizing it's a cross...we want it to be the other way around. so whatever you can do to make it stand out more as a cross would be good.

Hi there, here is the changes which you asked for. The icon now is more liking a cross and then a tree.
Also i change the font of motto to a nice script type.

hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think. I will keep trying another tree style.

cheers

Thanks!

The only other requests I have at this time is it I can see this design with the symbol to the side (to the left I believe) and also if you can make the reflective effect you have on it even more reflective....

We're meeting tonight at 7:00 EST so I will have any more updates following that meeting!

We would still like to request the above edits that I posted at 1:42pm in addition to the following:

If we could bring the symbol down slightly so that it is closer to the text that would be fabulous....

The motto seems a bit small, so if we can make that slightly larger...if it needs to extend beyond the length of "free church" that is fine.

Thanks so much!

hello again.
Here is the new cross/tree .. i try to make this floral all around the cross to make the tree ideia more simple.

See ya

(This comment references Entry #251)

mix of the two versions

(This comment references Entry #254)

in this version i change the script font, more harmony and familiar.

(This comment references Entry #255)

We definitely like the original cross better than the more recent chunky one. We also like how you moved it down closer to the text.

here it is. with the logo close to the text

(This comment references Entry #281)

in this one i used other script font to the motto. what do you think about?

cheers

- Guilherme Marcondes

(This comment references Entry #282)

here other version with other colors in the shape and leafs.

cheers

- Guilherme

(This comment references Entry #290)

and in this one i make a stroger spotlight in the middle of the logo.

(This comment references Entry #291)

other colors combinations

(This comment references Entry #292)

We really like the glow to 291 as well as the color of the text...not sure if it's different from previous designs but it seems to pop more.

We really like the color but are still debating if we like it better than the dark brown...we would like to see the glow effect on the dark brown design.

here it is in the darkbrown

(This comment references Entry #295)

and in the medium brown

(This comment references Entry #296)

you dont aswer one question.. how about the new script font in the motto?

IF you wanna more changes please let me know.

have a good night.

- Guilherme

in order to defend my purpose i have some points to say.
My purpose has this features:
- clean and beautiful;
- visual permeation;
- great reduction (for distances, stationery, stamps, etc.);
- Color and B&W easy application (for photocopies and paper box).
- The font is easily readable

I hope you point this stuff when you choose the winner.

Was a great pleasure work with you.

Cheers
