Hi. These are great. Thanks for submitting. I like how you incorporated the "reins." Can I ask would you please change the font style - I like the font styles in #32 or #36. And for all of the logo designs, can you please change the horses ears to be looking forward? when a horses ears are pinned back like that it means they are not happy - they are angry.

I like #63 if you can change the ears.

#62, can you turn the horse's head so he is sort of hugging her? Still being able to see the reins but like they are in an embrace?

Thank you so much!
Kim

Hi Nat. I like #75 a lot. Can you make the ears pointing forward toward the child. And maybe try a different color other than the blue - maybe a brown or a more earthy color. I love the movement in this too - very nice. Is there anything you can do to make the child a different color and not white? The child really "pops" out a lot since it is white.

Overall, I love it though.

Thanks

Nat, I really like these. Especially #80 and #84. I am not sure how to describe this but the child still looks like it is sort of "pasted" on there and not a part of the picture. Maybe it is the shape of the child. Is there a way to make them less stiff and with more movement like the horse. I LOVE the mane and how its flowing - the movement is wonderful. If you can work on the child in both options.

Thank you - they are wonderful.

Hi Kim,

to add movement to the child to make it match the horse I think I need more hair. Problem is I am trying to make it as unisex as possible, and adding a longer hair will make it look like a girl. I can try a short hair with a touch of movement and see how it workd.

BRB,

new version, more movement to the child. I think it still looks unisex, what do you think? Modified arms and hands and expression.
Please let me know what you think. I am online,
thanks!,

Nat, #133 is beautiful! I still like the other version with the different colors but this is much cleaner and the child looks more a part of the graphic.

Thank you for all your hard work!

modified arm so it doesn´t look busy with the reins

Please let me know if you need changes. I think this simplified version is easier and cheaper to reproduce and print. You can still use colored versions for other uses and a 1 plain color as a logo.

Nat, for #133 can you move her hand down like it is taking the reins so it is off the horse's face? I would love to see that.

Thanks

Nat, can you do something that makes this child look a little older? Right now she seems to be around 5'ish can you make her look around 10 years old? And maybe an option that is more unisex?

Thanks

Hi Nat. Still love this one very much. I have had some comments that the horse's mane the way it is flowing might cause us some issues when we put it on different mediums - like t-shirts or hats or when we embroider. Can I see a version where the main is less "wild". I personally love the flowing of it but let's see what it looks like a little calmer.

Does that make sense?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Hi Kim,

Sure. I didn´t know you wanted to embroider the logo in small sizes. I think you should add this info to the main page because non of the top ranked ones can be embroidered in small sizes with all the details they have. In my case I think I fix that by modifying the mane a bit.

I´ll be back with a new version,

new version. Mane modified. Also more unisex look for the child.

Hi Nat! I absolutely love this logo I think this is truly it. You have captured the power, passion, love the movement and flow. I just have a few more adjustments if you can bear with me. I like the old mane better but like the child in the new version. So can you take the child from #177 and put them into horse from #141.

Also the last thing is that the child still seems "pasted" on. Is there a way to give the child a little more definition like maybe eyes or a slight smile - don't over do it too much - just slightly - that is the main thing that bothers me still is the child needs something.

And I can't decide between the hugging or not hugging. Can you update both? So #141 and #168?

Does all that make sense?

Thank you for all your hard work!!! I am very excited.

Nat did you get my request earlier about trying to figure out how to make the child look more a part of the picture and less like they are pasted on? Everything else looks great but can you try putting eyes or something on the child?

Thanks

nat can you quickly do t#180 with her head looking more down not up? More detailed I am sorry I cannot explain that she still looks like she is pasted on the front. Hugging but head down a bit.

thanks

Hi Kim,
here you have a new version. The head was up because I wanted to make it look like the child is looking in the eyes of the horse. I´m online if you need more changes.

Nat this looks gorgeous! Can I ask one more thing...can I see the text in a different font. I like the font used in entry #36 that is ranked #2. You are my winner let's just tweek the font and I will post it.

Thank you. Everyone loves this. You did an amazing job capturing the passion and the emotion between the horse and child and making it a joyful celebration!

You are fantastic!

Hi Kim,
here you have a similar font style. Although I think the original font is stronger, makes the logo more balanced and it´s easier to read in small sizes. This font doesn´t look good when stacked because characters have different heights or are not aligned.

Nat

Client
OK then I think we will keep it as is - I like how you stacked it because it emphasizes "Hope Reins"

Thank you again! Will post you as the winner.
