GlobalSourceLogo Design Contest

Dear greenlamp,

Thanks for your design. could you make some designs without the graph in the image? Maybe to integrate the picture image more with the text would be a suggestion.

kind regards,
Bram

Hi Bram,

Thank you for your feedback. I will submit other ideas tomorrow.

Cheers,

Irene

Dear irene,

thanks for your new designs. Looking forward for more suggestions within the theme you have set up. Maybe you could visualize our core-business in other ways. Potentially, also a stronger Web2.0 style would we like to see.

kind regards,
Bram

Thank you Bram,

Yes, I will continue to develop my design in this direction.

Cheers,

Irene

Hey Irene,

could you make #29 in the same style as #35?

kind regards,
Bram

Sure, I'm on it...

Dear greenlamp, thanks for you new submission. including the web 2.0 design. Could we ask you to make a logo that is more distinct from the ones your already made?

regards,
Bram

Yes, I'll see what I can do tomorrow...

Best,

Irene

Hi Bram,

Just wondering if this is the right direction...

Thank you,

Irene

Oh, one more thing regarding my original design: if 3- piece graphics (in the stylized "O") look a bit too busy, I could try two pieces. Please advise.

Irene

Dear Irene,

Thanks for the new designs, I wonder what the meaning is of those 3 piece element. Second, I know that we set it to more serious than playful. But could you provide an example with a more playfull font (one that is more round on the edges.

kind regards,
Bram

And could you maybe do the same for design #36 and #34?

Sure, I'll try a more rounded font.

These 3-piece graphics are an abstract way to support the "source" and "global" concepts.

I will submit revised versions shortly.

Cheers,

Irene

Hi Bram,

I uploaded revised versions for comparison. Do you like the new font?

Cheers,

Irene

hey Irene,

I like it, what about a little bit more bold (just to have an idea how that looks). I will elaborate with my colleagues. What happened to the design with the 3 piece element?

regards,
Bram

The three color "pathway" did not look good with the new font?

I'm working on it...

perfect, looks great!

Thank you:-)

I will submit the wide version with the three color "pathway" shortly.

Irene

Dear irene,

thanks for your new design. I like the way you use this stroke around the text. But it maybe requires an alteration to the font (maybe you can also experiment with some different colors).

kind regards,
Bram

Thank you Bram,

I'll see what I can do...

Irene

Thanks,

it is probably not easy. We are also a little bit blank on how the designs could alter. So you have all artistic freedom. Also new suggestions are welcome.

regards,
Bram

Okay, I'm on it...

Hi Bram,

I am confused now. In your brief it is stated: "Although we are called GlobalSource we would NOT like to see a globe in the design. "

But the leading design has a globe. Could you clarify please?

Thank you,

Irene

The reason I am asking is that I spent a lot of time trying to avoid incorporating a globe into my designs...

Dear Irene,

we know we did not ask to include a globe in the design. The reason why is that adding a globe would be a too easy approach and the majority of the times it simply does not look good. Proof is that we received many design that included a globe anyway and this one is the only one that survived and it happened that we actually like the style.

If the designer believes that, against the odds, they manage to include a globe after our liking then it also shows their quality as a designer, so if you believe that you can make a design that will blow us away and that includes a globe then you are of course welcome to do so. However, we are 5 people that will judge the designs and the ranking chances from hour to hour. But Soon, you and Och@ are clearly battling for the first place.

I hope I answered your question,
kind regards,
Bram

Thank you for clarifying this. It makes perfect sense, indeed.

Best,

Irene
