Using the hand for the I and m is brilliant! Swish isn't as strong or goes as well with the hand. Perhaps a radiating field from the finger tip or the swish over the index finger tip might be something to explore.
Please try two things. Use a thick line for the hand so that it looks more like letters I and m. Also make the radiating circles more 2D and higher up where the tip of the I is. Thanks.
Much better. Two more suggestions. Try adding the bottom portion of the hand and a thumb like #9. Also make the text italics. Finally reduce the number of rings and make it look like the finger pressing a surface rather than something radiating from the finger tip. Thanks!
I like the rounded fingers on #9. Try adding the bottom portion of the hand and a thumb like #9. Perhaps the hand image can be on top of the letters I and m?
Please also reduce the number of rings and make it look like the finger pressing a surface rather than something radiating from the finger tip somewhat like #64.
About the font from #6 used by other designer, I am not allowed by the LT rules to do so regardless the contest stage. Also I don't have that specific font, however I modified another and the word "press" is quite the same as the original. IMHO not looking that good because of the thickness of characters.
I like the font in #157 over #166. If there is a font that is just a little more tech oriented that #157 that would be ideal. We are talking about subtle changes here.
Congradulations! It was a very competitive and great contest. I hope that there isn't any issue with you sending me the following.
1. create a version with red USA and S.Korea on the lower right as some of the other designers have done. 2. provide ai or native file that you created. 3. A high high res for print and low res for web in jpg or PNG 4. Information on font name, exact color in RBG and CYMK
