#1 & #2 I like the general idea. I feel the font should be serious to contrast with the pixie. I want the haus part potential to be bolder and less whymiscal then the pixie font. The A could be the house (the house should jump off from the same style as the http://www.cobrokenation.com house. I like the star dots for the eyes and I like representing the fairy with big colorful wings. Thanks for submitting!
Hi, I read your feedback and went back to the drawing board. Here is a new submission, and I created an iphone app icon example of the same pictoral mark which will follow.
#4 & #3 I am a little distracted by the color schemebeing too dark in mood and I am wondering what they would look like brightened up with different colors. if you look at cobrokenation the house style is different in that the roof overhangs. Curious if you could add some kind of fairydust to the concept/ something getting pixilated. Colors should say magical (think disney), magic of technology.
#3 I like what you did with the A and I like the stars. I find the word HAUS in that font combined with being black overwhelming. I think its just a little too bold.
I am curious what #4 would be like just blue and white with the background blue. the house white as well as the body of the fairy? would that work? put some stardust in the "sky"?
Hi, I received your comments about my submission, and I've made the changes you requested. I've got a new logo and two new iphone icons for you. Your feedback is welcome!
its helpful for me to see the brighter colors.. I liked yellow and pink as start colors better then reusing the blue right away. The house is a little too tall just looking at the cobrokenation house. I dont like the starts competing with the chimney so I might recommend the wand in the other hand.. I might just be happy with a starry sky instead of it coming out of the wand. I dont not like the fairy.. I am wondering if the wings could be a little different. I kind of like where the fairy is the same color as the house because it looks more like a skirt in that version. hmm wonder what the wings would look like pink instead of seethrough? I feel like the fairy and house could be tweeked as far as height to make me like this more. Its just everything is a little pointy feeling to me if that makes any sense. Thanks for all the drawings!!!
I dont mean when I say that things are pointy that the roof shouldnt have corners and the chimney shouldnt be square but more just that the house as I said is a little long and I wondering about the pixies wings. if you make them not see through maybe you can position the pixie differently? I think Id prefer hauspixie all in one line under the house with haus being in the same font as pixie.. there is enough going on with the house and the pixie we dont need more with very artsy text? I do like the yellow and pink stars.
I looked at tinkerbells wings to try and give you more direction lol. I feel her top ones are pointy and bottom ones are little more rounded. I think modeling the wings off tinkerbell might be good as far as just the shapes of them.
the house should be a little narrower as well. You can use yellow as a highlight but Id like to see the colors really be blue with the other two as an accent. Rather see white instead of black. Kind of want to stay away from black. Black and blue might be ok with pink highlights but dont like majority pink and black - not the right vibe.
I can make these changes, but I want to make sure I understand. When you say the house should be narrower, do you mean that the bottom part (the box) should be narrower in relation to the eaves, or do you mean that the whole house should be narrower? I ask because if I make the whole thing narrower, it will start to resemble the other house, in that it will be taller. I used very much the same dimensions on the house as in the cobrokenation logo. Or did you mean you wanted the whole pictoral mark to be narrower in relation to the text?
What do you think of using the iphone icon over the name of the company for the logo? That way I could use a blue background and make the stars white, but keep the rest of the colors the same (maybe with "haus" in blue too). That way the house won't look like it's on fire! I tried the iphone logo over blue, and it looked good. I was just trying to limit the number of colors I used in total.
Do you like the wordmark portion? I used the same font for both "haus" and "pixie" but they are different weights.
Now, here's a version of the logo without the blue background, and instead of stars, I've added white pixie dust swooshing down from the pixie's wand over the black of the house.
For real this time: Now, here's a version of the logo without the blue background, and instead of stars, I've added white pixie dust swooshing down from the pixie's wand over the black of the house.
I like the general concept.. the house can't be black. I would like to see #19 without a house or stars. Can you make your fairy stand up straighter? I dont like her leaning. something about the way she is holding the torch or leaning she is reminding me of the statue of liberty. I like top of wings pink, bottom yellow. I like haus in blue. I like the font thats all working.. I want to lose the house and the fairies lean.
Here is an iphone icon to go with #31. I kept the stars and moon because I thought they looked kind of neat and magical, but if you want me to remove them, that can be arranged!
Here's the tricky part. This is a social sharing icon to go with #31. I know we're not supposed to show more than one design in an image, but I needed to show it to you large and at actual size. These icons are very small, so there's only so much you can fit. I used the "h" for "hauspixie" and a star from the "i" in "pixie". There's just no way to get detail on an image this size. We could do a star in a box or an "h" in a box, but even the house itself at that size doesn't look like a house -- just like a blob.
The other thing with the fairy and I dont know how fixable is she looks matronly.. like statue of liberty. I do like the wings. Yes just a star would be fine to represent whatever we come up wtih with the right color scheme.
I wish I could give you more direction. right now the thing I like most is the font from from #31 what about making that x into a pair of overlapping wings or just have that be the icon on top.
can you also show me #13 the with the blue hosue but fairy and house are same color like #15 with the darker blue sky of #35 and the better winger style we currently are using?? I am trying to see if I can make the fairy work for me. That was a list of what I like the most. house can not be black!!
Lindsey I do want to thank you again for putting in such effort! I know you did so thank you!! I do like your work and I think with the right tweaks its as viable as anything on the board but no black houses!! hehe
