Can you change the silhouette to also include a helmet? Consider adding one more face silhouette aand make it brown or yellow to symbolize the diversity in the military? Also, consider another version to add 2 more stars, but the stars can be different sizes. Also, please add this on bottom graceafterfire.org

Protect. Connect. Renew.

Hi,

Can you change the heart on the right side to red, the star to blue, and on the left side, we like the 2 faces a lot, but the silhouette needs to look more miliatary, can you get rid of the hair, and add a miliary helmet. Please look at the font style from #29, we really liked that font. Can we make the face look up as well as in number 31?

Can you add maybe one more facial silhouette ? possibly in yellow or brown? Thank you so much!

Hello, I've made some changes regarding your remarks. I'm affraid I cannot use the same typeface as in #29. It could be taken as a copy of someone's design. I think the third face silhouette would be too much - but if you want I can try to add it.

Hello!

We love the artwork in ranked #1 because it is not apart of the heart, we like that.

BUT, we do not like the line that connects the slogan to the text, we really like the typography seperated as we have in ranked #2.

So, would we be able to see the artwork from ranked #1, with, the text style from ranked #2.

Also, a couple other changes. The new military hats, do not have the duck bill / brim at the front of the helmet. Can you try to dull that down a little bit?

Also, we have ranked #3 because the head is tilted up, just slightly, not as much as we have it in our current
logo, but just a little up.

We are also going to need to use this logo on both white and black backgrounds, so please show us how the white space would appear in the heart separating the woman and the heart.

The slogan, you can place the text around the left hand side.

The typface, we understand that it would be copying, but we would like to get that typeface, can you get it any closer?

We are most there! Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello!

We love the artwork in ranked #1 because it is not apart of the heart, we like that.

BUT, we do not like the line that connects the slogan to the text, we really like the typography separated as we have in ranked #2.

So, would we be able to see the artwork from ranked #1, with, the text style from ranked #2.

The other thing is that in Ranked #3, we really prefer that typography as it is in all caps, it is very bold and reads clearly. Can you make version with that?

Also, a couple other changes. The new military hats, do not have the duck bill / brim at the front of the helmet. Can you try to dull that down a little bit?

Can you show us a version with and without the flower's swirl on the right side of the heart?

Also, we have ranked #4 because the head is tilted up, just slightly, not as much as we have it in our current
logo, but just a little up.

We are also going to need to use this logo on both white and black backgrounds, so please show us how the white space would appear in the heart separating the woman and the heart.

In one version, can you show us the slogan underneath as they have in ranked #3, and another as you did in Ranked #2 around the left hand side.

We are most there! Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you. Your logo is 90% there. They would like to change the text per the previous feedback and also, inside the heart, only have one "swirl" rather than 2. They like the stem into the star, but that will be the only swirl, you can keep the leaves. They also ask if you have the ability to make the silhouettes to look like they are different ages. The white can be younger and the gray can be older. Here is a link with some age reference sihouettes. Generally, the older woman has a less defined chin and jawline, she is generally heavier than the younger girl. Sihouette #2 for older woman and #9 are great on this link. We hope to close contest after your changes. You pretty much have the one we want. Thank you for your hard work. They like the text to be all bold and have GRACE on line one, AFTER line 2 and FIRE line 3. PROTECT. CONNECT. RENEW. below Grace After Fire. (don't worry about version showing protect, connect, renew to leaft of heart) http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://opulentcreationsevents.squarespace.com/storage/il_430xN_77392124.jpg&imgrefurl=http://opulentcreationsevents.squarespace.com/blog/2009/8/2/custom-silhouette-cufflinks.html&usg=__tiLZsVGWBMII6QRyFGJqSWUa1WM=&h=430&w=430&sz=39&hl=en&start=413&itbs=1&tbnid=0MYcEExEslAzwM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dolder%2Bwomen%2Bsilhouettes%26start%3D400%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1

Here are corrected ones. I changed a little silhouette of "older" women, but only a little to avoid the effect of caricature. Also I changed typography. Does it meet your expectations? I'm waiting for your opinion.

Hello We're going to wrap this up! We're super close!

We Love #47's icon logo artwork (notice no bill on helmet, it is the most recent), We love it.

Can you please remove the white leaf inside heart, make star smaller and move it to the upper right hand of the heart.

Change text location, proportion, and style completely to look like #21 and #22, ranked currently as #3 and #4. All caps, "After" in all caps but smaller than GRACE and FIRE. FIRE width is same as GRACE like the example, balanced. Have the word PROTECT below the gray helmet head, word CONNECT below heart, and RENEW below Grace After Fire. Text in black.

Please use the same exact font as the have, Please copy it, I know you previously were concerned with copying another artists rendition, but we're paying for this and we love your design. They couldnt draw the same artwork you did, but you could use the same typography that they did. We would love to have this by 10am PST as we would love to finish this and use it immediately. We'll also need a version that can be used on a black / color background.

Please get back to us ASAP!

We are SO thankful we found you. You ROCK!

OK let's try once again.
To be frank I'm not a big fan of the slogan "PROTECT CONNECT RENEW" placed under the icon and the main text. However it doesn't look bad. It's just a question of style. Didn't you think about such a solution: #50 ? In my opinion the logo with the slogan inscribed inside the heart seems to be more compact and get supplementary symbol . Anyway choice is yours.

Regarding the question of black ( or colour ) background I think there are at least two possibilities of usage the logo as seen on the submited samples

Great work! 99% there. Can you shift "GRACE" slightly left so the E in Grace is aligned with the E in Fire?

Also, can you do a version with a period after Protect, Connect, Renew so it looks like this:

PROTECT. CONNECT. RENEW. (period after each)

I think entry #58 is it! Can you do a version with a black background as well like entry #51? I think we are good to go! Waiting for final approval.
