Entry #5, I don't think the color alternation of the letters work for me. The "W" is what really stands out but it doesn't really mean anything. Looks like "W" ADJUSTERS. Thanks for your effort.
Entry #6, Not a bad design. It is much better without alternating the colors of the letters. I was wondering how transferrable the reverse shadowing at the bottom will be regarding ebrodering polo shirts, hats, etc..?
thanks for the comments... as for the shading it is for the web 2.0 aspect for embroidery it would be better to do something different. I will do a new one with my suggestion. Thanks again, the B [Bryan]
Entry #8, Thanks Bryan, looks good. The oval helped define the outline of the letters. Can you go back to the curved background (i.e. Entry #6) instead of the straight block and make "ADJUSTERS" a shade darker?
Entry #10, can you make the weight line go all the way across the oval. I would like the line shaper. Look at entry #1. He is using some type of a flash fade. There should be a little more contrast in blue between the top and bottom. Making progress and thanks for the hard work. What ever color blue you use for the bottom of the oval should match the color you use for "ADJUSTER"
