Nice designs and looking forward to more of your creative concepts! Only specific comments on these two particular ideas are that I think 34 is pretty "jacket-patch-ey" (now that's a new term! lol). And maybe looks too race-oriented ... especially with the stars at the bottom. But I like the feel of the "ring" you created there. Maybe an outer ring on 66, coming out of the boat hull dark blue, or something of that feel? Also, in 66, I think the SR is getting a little lost. It's a bit too city, then event ... versus event, Hampton Snowbird Rendezvous. Know what I mean? Also please continue to review my on-going high-level general comments and tips, made to the entire group in the LogoTournament Brief. These are very important. Great job so far! Keep 'em coming! Thanks and best, Mark
Hi Faith. Or #79! lol Much better than the badge I think. The whole thing seems to be going uphill now though, left to right, including the boat (turned a bit counter-clockwise). Do you see that also or am I imagining it on my screen? b.t.w. I see you are an expert at this whole LT thang (as they say down south) ... what happens in the next "phase" and how do we keep working together? Does our group have to whittle it down to just 5 designers next? l.m.k. and thanks!
Yes, #79 I realized that all this time I have been spelling "Rendezvous" wrong and I even studied French in college, lol!
I see what you're saying about it going uphill, I was trying to give it movement, but I can fix that.
Yes, in the next phase, only 5 designers are able to continue to submit. However, you can change the 5 around if you want to see changes from other designers. Hope that helps :)
I got off the phone with our group last night (believe me, that was interesting!) and then "worked" Indonesia! lol
I think it's amazing how you all can service the world as well, and as seemingly effortlessly, as you do. Good one onya as the Aussies say!
As best as I can read the tea leaves, here's what everyone thought. They definitely liked your new direction. Here, entry #86 was favored over #84, but not entirely. As you would imagine, some people liked a certain aspect of one of your treatments and others like another aspect. Overall, the team felt is was still too "racy" ... meaning pretty cool for a sail racing event but this is more of a slow-boat, cruise south with the birds in the fall, in search of banana drinks kind of crowd, and event. I think the italic type, the forward leaning sails, etc. all emphasize speed.
So maybe "slow it down" ... another new design term :-) A cruising style boat, more like 84 would be best.
Another point that was made is that in a lot of the different designer's submissions, the text reads as city, then event ... versus the event, held at a city. They'd like to see Hampton Snowbird Rendezvous, the H S and R, of "near" equal visual prominence.
I had everyone go look at your portfolio and they like your style... so continue to work this concept, or drop a new one on me if inspiration strikes. I'm having fun, I hope you are too!
Just an update: Got with two of the committee this a.m., expect to be able to herd the rest of the cat's tomorrow. I'll get back to you tomorrow night most likely with what everyone thought. Have a GREAT weekend!
Hi Faith! Thanks for working so hard on our logo. It was a really close contest and you should know that a lot of the folks really liked your design. My wife, Diana, founded a citizen-science project for seabird conservation and we're going to do a logo for her later this year. You can bet that you'll get an invite and I hope that you'll choose to enter that contest. Look for an invite from me and the SeaBC Seabird Count. Best and thank you again, Mark (mark@onthewaterchartguides.org)
Thank you Mark! I will certainly watch for it, you were great to work with :) I hope you enjoy your new logo, you made a good choice with Jekson's! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact me.
