Hey There,

Thanks for the entries. We really like #2 a lot.

1. The grey circle, would be great to have it more of a full circle, but with still the aged look. It looks as if part of the circle is cut off at the beginning.
2. The smudges on both "a's" look too uniform as well as can we have less smudging on the "a's"
3. Would like to see the "h" in manhandled in upper case.
4. Would love to see other type faces as well.
5. And possibly a splash of color.

We really liked your profile/avatar photo. We'd love to see if you can incorporate some color(s) not too metallic, but sort of liked the water drops, the drop shadow, etc.

We know that we are still in the very early stages of the contest, but you're on the right track.

#1 Looks great too, but we like the boldness of #2.

Thanks for your help... Feel free to send us a PM if you have any other questions.

Liking #3 more

#4 is not the direction that we are going in. it's a little too "skater-ish" and too alternative

Will comment more on #3 soon.

Thanks

I personally love #4, and would be a great design for t-shirts... please don't widthdraw the design. Would like to have it as a reference.

#3
I just had a chat with our webdesigner and this is the feedback that I received...

I like the one that you like. Only thing I worry about is the readability of "manhandled". Some of ther parts of the letters may be too aged, the H, D, L are sort of difficult to make out right away. I actually had to look at it closely to make out the word, it's not instantly readable.


1. We'd like to see this cleaned up a little more
2. Also, a few other font types in the same genre
3. We'd love to see some color input. (dark and deep) Burgandy, army green, espresso, eggplant, etc.
4. We still really love your profile artwork. It's beautiful
5. How about something on the lines of that?

There are a lot of great things in the new designs. When I get feedback from the other people within the company I'll send back details of each one.

Thanks!

We like the font on #15 and I think that it will go better with the "MH" on #16.

We like #16, however, the "H" in the "MH" looks a little short. Can you possibly make it a little longer? Iooking at it looks more like an "N"

Would like to refine #3 a little more.

1. The "L" looks a little bit like a knife/dagger, can you clean it up a little more.
2. The "H" in "MH" And in the written font, looks a little too faded. Can you fill it in a little more.
3. Also, in "ManHandled" after looking at it, they don't like the smudges, they like the faded/worn look a lot better.
4. Is it possible to try a few different fonts for this without the serif?
5. And we like the stroke better over the second "n" rather than both.

Thanks for all the other designs... It's getting harder and harder to choose!

Hey There,

Here's some feedback on the logos...

#51 Looks great, the areas where you cleaned it up is perfect. Can you just clean up the H in the MH a little bit more. And slightly age the M in MH a bit more. We really love the scratched/sanded vertical lines of the background.

#50 is looking really good. There are a few things that we'd like changed. The logo part of it, MH, can you shorten the tail part of the "h" it still looks like a "p" to us. Also is there a way to make the line that makes up the "h" to match the "m"? It's it's slightly larger and wider where the negative space between the to "m"'s Hope that makes sense.

#4 after asking a few different people, the "mh" looks more like "nh" would it be possible to actually make it an "m"? Also, if you can clean up the "manhandled" part a little more. We don't really like the sharp horizontal scratch that goes across the majority of the word. We love the color, but would love to see maybe a gradient with something that goes darker as well.

#52 We are still discussing.

Thanks for being so patient with us in making all the necessary changes.

We like #137 the "logo" part of it. If you can just clean up the "H" just a little bit it would look great. (just taking out the splotch) We don't like the fonts on the written part of it as well as on the revised versions. We like the font on #52 but would like to see it with and without the line work underneath and also less splotchy... We don't like the .com going up the side in that direction. It sort of looks backwards, if you can just reverse it that would be great. Also, what we'd like to see if maybe the ".com" can blend into the "D" sort of like entry #118

Also, we do like the font to be straighter.

Looking forward to seeing the others... Thanks for all your hard work

Hey There,

Two small changes we'd really like to see.

1. We like the placement of the ".com" #157 better than #156
2. If you can change the line work and possibly put it over the "D" and also doing another line under the "H" like the logo would look great.

You're the artist, so go with what you feel and let us know what you think.

Thanks and after we get this revision and take a look at all three, we'll be ready to make a decision.
