I really like #63 and what the runner looks like. Could we see what it would look like if it was in a circle, like #7 you did, maybe a blue circle and white runner?
Just a note... I can also supply these designs in a "stacked" orientation as well (words on top of each other). You may need different versions depending on how you are using it.
yeah, I think I'd like to see that variation too. Thanks for the cool changes.
I like the g imbeded, but wonder if it can look smoother. Possibly alter the arms so they look a little more similar, but still keep the g visible by using the darker color.
Here's a simple stacked text option. Might be useful for stationery, business cards, etc. The text could be ragged right like this, or lined up on both sides by adjusting type size and/or spacing. I personally like the ragged approach since it ties in a bit better with the free flowing running character.
Just a note about the arc in #101 and others since I never really offered my thought behind it. It ties the three words together and represents concepts of achievement and/or moving toward a goal.
I like the shadows you've added to the character and really like your ideas. Is there anyway you can play around with how the words when they are stacked? Maybe add lines to them?
On #101, can you make the arc a little less prominent? I think its size works better with #102. I'd like to see if the runner and arc could 'match' a little better. Thanks!
I think with shirts, stationery, printed materials, etc. you will be fine (I can provide versions with and without the shadow just in case). On a window display it may depend on the overall background (i.e., is the inside of your store dark or light?). For a special application like that, perhaps a version with a white background (like a circle) would provide the best contrast. I'd be happy to work with you on applying this logo in various applications after the contest.
