Feedback welcomed 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Hi Mr. Smith,Thanks for your entry!! We really liked the font of the text. We are worried since our conference attendees will be both female and male that the ties in the icon will throw females off. Is there a possibility you can work on other symbols? The letter H may be redundant as well.We also liked the colour combination. We would love to hear your thought process and why you went with this icon for the design.Best,HLC 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Thank you very much for the feedback. Will work on seperate icons..the main reason those where used is that its shouts professional, but I understand the need to have a better representaiton of the attendants. Ill upload variations soon. Thank youMr. Smith 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Please see uploaded new icon 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Mr. Smith,we really like the new image on #9 and # 8 - would you be able to try different colour combinations:blue/goldblack/goldblack/blueblue/silverblack/orangeblue/orangepurple/orange 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer No problem, ill upload colour variations soon 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Mr. Smith,Thank you for the uploads!! we liked the blue/silver combination in entry 15.....Can we make the text more solid rather than having a faded middle..thanks,HLC team 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Mr. Smith,Do you have any other ideas for LEADERSHIP, INNOVATION and COLLABORATION symbols....the team really liked your idea of using the chess piece but it symbolizes STRATEGY more than the other themes...would love to hear your ideas on what you think might work for LEADERSHIP...thank you for all your hard work!HLC team 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Thank you for the feedback. The chess piece was actually a queen, which is the most powerful piece. My thought was that a leader should possess strength, hence its use. I do few more idea though, which ill be uploading momemtarily. Thank you for the feedback again. 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Mr. Smith, we like entry #51 - can you give us your thought process behind that logo.we still like the chess pieces - what about using the knight piece? can you try that for us for entry 15 and #22....also make sure not to have the text be faded....we are converting all the logos to be in grayscale so as to better see them and judge them...we would like it if you could also consider thinking about the timelessness of the logo (as Harvard University is 377 years old so perhaps something classic would be nice as well)....thank you again for all your hard work!HLC Team 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Thank you very much for the feedback. Entry #51 was inspired by the outline you gave of leadership and coloboration, tried to emphasize those aspects are much as possible, with the leader being the most dominant/distinctive and the peers in black, joining behind.Ill upload a few variations of the chess piece momentarily.Thank you 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer New chess variations uploaded. Used the entire chess piece with the king piece being at the forefront as the leader. This speaks to leadership, strategy and colloboration, as without the piece one can't start the chess gave, moreover complete it. It speaks to teamwork and however important the entire unit is, team and leader.Looking forward to your feedback. 11 years ago HLC2013 Client We really like it Mr. Smith!!!Will get back to you if we want to make any font or colour changes....but well done! 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Thank you very much. I look forward to your reply. 11 years ago HLC2013 Client We still keep coming back to entry #51 Can you do entry #51 using a Crimson colour and Anziano Pro Regular Font (these are the official Harvard University colour and font).Using this Crimson colour:pms 187upms 1807ccmyk: c-7 m-94 y-65 k-25hex# a51c30rgb: r-165 g-28 b-48 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Ok no problem, will upload soon. 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Unfortunately I do not have that font in my font collection, would you mind if I use a font which is similar to that one? 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer I understand the importance of the use of the particular font in the design, as its Harvards official font. If you have direct access tot he font and would like to send it for me to use, that wouldn't be a problem. Ill upload fonts though which are close in comparison to it.Please let me know. 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Please see #149, uploaded the colour requested and used a font similar to the one you requested. Also, though you ask for the shield not to be use, I wanted to add my own take on it #150. I await your responce/s. 11 years ago HLC2013 Client thank you Mr.Smith- seems like the Harvard font is not easily available as all the designers had the same problem. Unfortunately, I don't have that font but a font similar is fine with us.Thank you for doing #150, I was really happy to have it. 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Mr. Smith as you can tell we are loving entry # 150. We would like to see if you could think of things to do with the inside of the Red Shield instead of the 3 white lines...I really like it as it is but my teammates are asking to see if you could at all think of something to put in there (the red shield)? 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer No problem. Ill work on a few ideas for the inner part of the red shield. Thank you for the ranking and constant feedback. Will upload asap. 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Uploaded two ideas #221 & #222 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Mr. Smith looks like we will be working with you solely!!! The team feels you have a solid design. **Since we will be refining entry #1 with you- can you please think of other classy ways to have something in the center Red Shield (without cluttering the whole inside of the shield)....I personally love entry #1 as is but my teammates are asking to see what else you can do...but please keep in mind to make it subtle but artistic....entry # 221 was heading in the right directionthank you again for all your hard work!! 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Thank you very much. Ill work on a few more variations and upload soon. 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer A few variations 236-241 11 years ago HLC2013 Client Mr. Smith, we will get back to you after consultation with the team.....you will hear from us shortly.Best,HLC Team 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer No problem, looking forward to your responce. 11 years ago HLC2013 Client dear mr smith,congratulations for all your hard work!!!!! the team was really happy with the final logo. we ask that you send it to us in EPS format. please make sure the crimson colour is the harvard official palette that i sent you on jan 15.congratulations againbest,hlc team 11 years ago Mr. Smith Logo Designer Wow, thank you very much.
