Hotel Bar & GrillLogo Design Contest

I like the font on the Bar and Grill portion of #2 but I'd like to see a graphic/pictoral element added. Prefer the layout of #3 to the layout of #1 but I'd like to see a more pictoral look to the building in that design.

I like the shape of #4. Try it without the frill in the O and without the keys. In its history the Hotel Bar has been owned & operated mostly by women. My husband suggested that we try a barmaid in your design or a "Miss Kitty" type lady.

Okey Dokey - will give it a try! MM

I have a comment in the designers section (just double click on the design to go there) MM

I like the way the building looks in #1. I'd like to see an "Est. 1920" somewhere in the designs please. Thanks a lot! Everyone's work is greatly appreciated - your ideas are all very exciting.

Would like to see #12 with a "wood grain" effect (like #s 7 & 11) in the red portion. Maybe try it with a few different colors or fonts.

I'm not settled yet. Still interested in seeing some updates to #5 & #4. Also, since the Hotel Bar started as a railroad Hotel, I'm interested in what a steam train would like in a design - more as a "background" element, but I think it would look cool & really grasp the history of the bar & our town.

still working some stuff - and will try a train, Thanks. MM

Can we try a combination of #8 & #20? And, can we incorporate the train into #s 17 & 11? Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback.
FYI, if you click on the logos above, you can see the designers comments there & you can also post feedback there as well, just in case you didn't know you could do that.
Thanks again,
Don

Wow! Great job - I'm so confused. I will try to get on here as much as possible to continue ranking in these last couple days but it's Halloween and we get to drink until 3:30 a.m. here in Wisconsin. Long, fun night at work ahead. Keep the variations coming - we are loving them!

The Halloween party was great! Got to bed about 7 a.m. our time. I will provide one more feedback before I head to bed (much earlier) tonight but will not be online tomorrow to give feedback or rank entries as I will be cooking and cooking and computers don't mix :) Basically, if you want feedback, get your entries in in the next 7 hours. Thanks!

I'm logging out now. Will try to log in again to comment on and rank entries in the morning before I head to work. Thank you so much.

This is the last time I can rank or provide feedback before the contest ends. Hope everyone got the info. they needed from me. I read your rules and as I understand it 3 different designers are supposed to occupy places 1 through 3. I think that's rediculous and I absolutely refuse to accept any designs that my ten year old son could do himself just so you can get ranking points in the number 3 position. If you haven't put some thought into it, please don't submit it. I appreciate the work of the designers who have communicated with me & incorporated my feedback into their designs. If you are submitting in the remaining hours, please read my contest brief thoroughly. I will not throw out designs submitted in the last hours. I just expect them to meet my needs if I'm going to rank them. Thank you so much for doing the beautiful work I could never do myself. I am overwhelmed by how much a design can communicate. Mine is a business of personal relationships with nearly 90 years of history. I know its hard to interpret those emotions into print so I'm extra thrilled with the results of this competition. Thank you again!

One last comment: this was a wonderful experience and we are very pleased with all of the designs. Thank you for all your hard work.
