Amy

Hello_ I did those changes, I am uploading after this MSG, thank you!

Hello Amy, I will do these changes tonight!, as I am gone for the day! just wanted to let you know, I will do these! :)

Hello -

I'm starting to think I should not have asked anyone for feedback. I'm very close but have a couple last requests.

I'm deciding between the fonts CAT Childs (your original) and Cheboygan.

Could you please show me both of these (#121 and #114) with the Aim starting under the letter n. I'm hearing conflicting thoughts on whether the Aim should be lined up with the I or more centered like this #121 (under the T). So I thought I should see it in between (under the n).

For both of these 2 new versions, can I please see the black and white version?

I'm sorry to seem so difficult. Are all your logo projects like this? Maybe I'm just not great at making the final decision.

Thanks again for your patience and hard work!
Amy

Hello -
Its a cool font, and its redeable too!..I posted it! :)

I'm getting good feedback on this version with the Cheboygan font. Can you please do a new version with the Aim moved to the right (with the A under the t)?
Thanks!

That font Amy, is for personal use not commercial used, or you can buy I think!
Snidane font!...but I have uploaded it too #120

I wait for your decision :)

THat one is GABRIELA :)

Hello -
Thank you for the new versions. I've sent a survey out to friends.

I don't think I see one with Snidane font, can you please tell me which one this is?

Also, I left a note for #117 - asking which font this one is, I can't tell.

Thanks!

Can you please tell me the name of this font in #117?

Hello Amy

I have uploaded the one I beleive is free!
The only one is Black Chancery, if you want to use it, you have to ask permission, well just let the designer know you are using his font...on DAFONT..a lot of peopel dont..loll...but its just safe...but honestly I Still like the original one, its easy to read....let me know!

Hello AMy
Gabriel: I have done this font before.I beleive its #75

Cheboygan: ok

Smorgasboard: I would not take a chance taking this font, you need to buy it...or make a donation...I think its not permit for commercial used

Snidane: ok

Kingthings Exeter: ok

Spatha Sans: its only for personal used not commercial, so I would not take a chance with this font.

Chisel Script: ok

Black Chancery: Yes I can remove that curl, but Ia m not sure about public Domaine is for commercial used...but if we change the font a little...we should be ok!..so ok...

Yes I know...I use google font, cause they are very good for website also.

il get this to you during the day Amy!

hope it helps

Good Morning -

I've looked at a few fonts to try on this #114 logo. Then I should be done with changes and ready to decide. Thanks again for helping me get this perfect!

I'm not sure if I understand the notations on the dafont site about free for personal use or donationware. You'll have to let me know if some of these won't work to try. Most said free.

Gabriel Serif (free)
Cheboygan (free)
Smorgasbord (donationware?)
Snidane (free)
Kingthings Exeter (free)
Spatha Sans (free for personal use)
Chisel Script (free)
Black Chancery (public domain) - I like this one but the curl on top of the capital I would need to be removed - is that possible?

Thanks again! Boy, there sure are a lot of fonts!

Have a great day!
Amy

No worries :) just make sure in the option of DAFONT you click FREE USE! ok

Thanks!
I've had 3 votes on font and they are all different. My daughter is on dafont.com with me looking for other options. I hope it's okay if I send you a couple new font choices to try. I'm going to ask my husband to help tonight and then send the names to you. Thanks for your patience!

I agree, it takes out the use of the arrow to me....cause you shooting the AIM word itself!..

It has space and I can see space, and I am seeing it on my computer pretty small...but I do like your thought saying that when you see from let say far away its one arrow.....the illusion!...so I like that thinking, one thing too Amy, if let say in the futur you need to adjust the file, you will have the original file for your printer, and they can adjust it for you, but for myself I beleive you are ok!

I don't like the Aim here.

The advice on asking for this change was because the I and A both right next to the circles seemed hart to read. I like them both actually. Is this one with the lines like you suggest? Or did you think more white space? I'm liking this one but worried about the blank and white printing.

Yes :) #114

Can I see this one with the arrow shorter like the originals - ending at the letter L?

Oh I thin I know where you going with this, I gave you two choices based on your request let me know if its ok!...Center the Aim in the arrows but leave out the circles and the point. correct

Thanks!
Can the A in Aim be under the first t in intercultural?

Hello
#109, #110, #111

I actually liked it to the left centered, it gives the illusion your shooting and arrow!. but I have posted to changes! :)

Hello -
I continue to get feedback.

Can you please show me two more versions?

One with the Aim moved to the right (centered under Intercult) but not moving the circles.

One with the arrow longer, extending beyond the L and then center the word Aim under the entire word Intercultural.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Thanks.

I was thinking the colors close together gave more an image of one arrow. The more solid line seems to draw my eye more to the entire image as one vs. a row of lines. Does that make sense? Are you able to post the black and white version so I can see it?
Thanks!

Yes it will, especially if you ever print this in a newspaper...I would go from the three choices of spaces, the largest one. but I wanted to show it to you with those three versions!

Hello -
How does this version with very little white #107 look like in black and white? Does it become just one thick line?
Thanks!
Amy

oupps #107 I mean...getting a little confused with all these version..hehehehe....

Hello Amy, yes great weekend:
#102: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Kurale
#103: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Alice

Just to be sure I submitted another version which is #104,#105, #106
with different spacing, its easier this way cause the size of the logo is all the same. which plays on the spacing. so just to be sure!..hope thats ok.

Good Morning.

Hope you had a nice weekend.

I've been getting feedback on the other fonts. Can you please send me the link to the fonts for logo #102 and #103?

Also, I'm not sure if it's because of the size of logo #98, but it looks like the white spaces a bit too big. I still really like the look of the lines in logo #47. Are these the same amount of white?

Thanks. Very close to a decision!
Amy

Hello Amy, I found three other fonts that is a little similiar to the original font we pick. Let me know your final decision
have a great evening :)

Hi Amy, I uploaded the logo in Black and White Version and also on a grey scale...the font is: http://www.1001fonts.com/cat-childs-font.html

you can see the alphabet, I will provide you with the font with my branding package I will give you by email! I will do a check, and find three similiar ones, but I really like this font for you. but I will check ok!...and everything else you requested I will submit :) let me know for your final decision!

Hello Amy, Yes I can help you with all that!...I think the fonts, I will look for more similiar, but I do like this one, its kind of script but it very readeable, so I beleive this font is your best choice, but I will check to see.

Yes for sure, I was going to give you a black and white version also with your files.

I will give you the font, so you can save it your files.

and For sure CMYK I use, those are for print. I would just recommend the CMYK, and the file I will provide you , just give that to your printer, but I will give you the formula for each color in CMYK and RGB for Webuse.. and yes I will adjust the white spacing to make sure its all ok.

How logo tournement works: is that once you made your selection:
1. Will upload a JPG and the .eps ( vector printing file )
2. once you have accepted, payment goe threw to me.

after I always ask for your email, so I can send you more additional version, like webversion. thats basically the process. I will get to this later today and make those changes so you can make a choice. For anymore changes, I really do like the spiral, the first one, it gives a mouvement to the logo, more I look at it more I like it. mmm what else, I think thats about it for now. if you have any question let me know!
have a great day!

I forgot -
Can you also show me what this looks like in black and white (if printed with no color), and greyscale?
Thanks!

Hi EvoTie -

Before we finalize my logo, I have a few questions.

I like the design of this #88 the best.

It seems the spacing of the lines is a little different in logo #47 - I think the white between the green and red is too small is this one #88. Can we adjust the white lines to be like #47?

Can you tell me the type of color you used? CMYK or RGB. I've been reading about this in the help section. I'm not technical at all so will need your help to understand what I need to know for printing with my logo and for my website.

Did you use Pantone?

Is there a way to get the name or codes for these 4 colors so I can use them on my website? Or on letterhead? Is this possible?

I think this is my favorite font. Can you tell me where you got this font? Is it from a free site so I can use it on my website? What is it called?

Before I make a final decision on the font, I would like to see more of it so I can see what it will look on a website.

I know that we tried some script fonts. But these didn't seem to look right with the sharp lines of the arrow and diamonds. Can we try a few more fonts that are similar to the one in this #88? I just want to be very sure!

Are there any other ideas for changes that you recommend?

Thanks again for your help. Are there any other details I need to know?

Have a great day!
Amy

Awsome!! :) thank you so much!..yes for sure!..I wait for your additional instructions :) have a great evenings :)

Hello -
Congratulations on being my winning designer. I really appreciate all your hard work. I would like to take some time to review all the versions and then let you know if I'd like to make any changes. Thanks again. I'll try to write tomorrow.
Amy

I agree on that, and the colors are more prominent with the circles...your eyes guides you better towards the tip of the arrow!, so yes I agree! :)
I am glad I was able to achieve your vision. Beleive it or not, this is what I go threw every Logo Project, but you I love it!...

This one is cool. I think I still like the circles because it looks more like a complete arrow.

What you think of this one :)
it has a little depht to it, with the lines going back. I think this looks good! what you think?

I love it, maybe its too small...but I added a little circle next to the AIM word, to show a kind of " PORTAL "...maybe its too much, but I will try with the lines too!

Is there a way to have all 4 lines still on the left of the A?

Thanks for trying this from my drawing. I kinda like it. What do you think?

Hello Evo Tie - I just uploaded my very rough drawings (Scan). I crossed out most of them. Some I traced from the Shutterstock examples in my original example doc.

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

ok Amy sounds good, me too I love the spiral, is it possible Amy when you load it up save it as a JPG or a PDF...thank you!

Thanks for trying these new ones. I'm still liking #88 the best. I've been trying some drawings. I'll try to upload them. They are just general ideas. See what you think.
Thanks!

Good morning.

Thanks for sending these new logos.

It helps to see this one with out the ends of the arrows #91. I'll see what other think.

#90 - this is cool but when it's small it kinda looks like something is not showing up correctly - like the ink is bad. I prefer clear letters for ease of reading. But really fun idea!

#92 - it seems uneven to have the lines smaller on the other side of the A. Could the lines stay the same, extend a small bit beyond the I and all 4 stop - then cross over all 4 with the squiggly lines in one of the colors?

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

That sounds good. I'm heading to bed and will check in the morning.
Thanks!

I can understand that! and it make sense. ok tomorrow morning I will come up with three different endings, more simplify, one that stops at the M
one with your arrow end idea from your doc..First thing in the morning will get on it :) we get their :) I do like the font, and the concept of your logo!...four directions four colors...we just doin fine tuning! have a great evening!

Hello -
The feedback I'm getting is that this is a very busy design for a logo.

Do you have any ideas for having a different ending instead of the circle?

Could we just stop the lines at the m in Aim?

Could we do something like in my new Word doc that has all 4 lines stop just before the circle and have wavy lines with a dot? See the doc, first group of arrows, top right, 2nd arrow down. Maybe something like this in the 4 colors?

Let me know if this makes sense. I guess I'm asking to simplify by removing the circles and having a more simple end on the left side of the company name.

Thanks again!

Hello, I tighten up the circles more swirls, so it makes it look more tighter. and you welcome, no worries. Let mo know if their is anything else! :)

Ok I will submit one with a tight space...I also submited one with the lines more closely!....

Can we tighten the circles too?

I like this. Could you do it with the lines touching like before?
Thanks!

Hi - thank you .

I like the tighter circles but I think I still like the lines closer together (almost touching) like before.

I just need to gather some feedback from others and then in the morning I'll decide.

I can't thank you enough for helping so much with changes!

Just and extra idea I had, more simple...thank you!

Hello, I tighten the swirls, and took off the little lines swirl, hope thats ok...Let me know what you think. Also, all the lines are all same width...is this better :) anything at all let me know.

il do it later this afternoon, I promise my dad to go get some fire wood with him..hehehe...but it will be done today!

You are very kind!
And a great sense of humor!

Yes everything is possible! :)

Yes, I like that better! Thanks!
Is there still a way to make the circle just a bit smaller or tighter?

Hi , What you think of this shape :)

Excellent! This is looking very good! I like that you've tightened up the circles. I like the blue, purple and red. I'm thinking the green is too much like a flower. Any thoughts?

Great. I have to step away from my computer for a couple hours, but will look right when I get back.

Thank you Amy, I saw your other comments after I posted this one, but now I just saw your last one, the one that starts..I think I am confusing you...hehehe...you not....just trying to get all the right info so I can give you the best possible version....so right now I got all your info I will post new version with the corrections you ask for!....So stay tuned :) we get their!

It looks like you changed the color for the ends. I was thinking the same color as the arrow line, just different shapes at each end.

Hi - Thanks!

I think I'm confusing you, sorry.

Lines - I do like the thicker lines for the arrows like in #47.

Circles - it seems the circles are bigger in size here, I like the smaller in #47.

Arrow ends - Like you did in #65 for the purple and blue, I like the very tiny shapes at the ends of the arrows. I would like each color to be different (one color could be like this end in #79).

Font - This seems to be my favorite font.

I appreciate your revisions! I am down to just 2 designers!

Thanks!

Oh ok Amy, I just uplaoded three new version, with the new tips, and the fonts changes, let me know if that oks the tips, if soo...il do the the differents colors, for the ends, if you aprouved these ends, Those to me was the nicer ones from the choices you gave me, what you think

Hi - thanks for checking the doc.

Yes, I still like the circles, just smaller in size (they seem bigger with the leaves and flowers).

I also think it might be nice to have each colored end different (goes with the idea that people start with differences - colors & shapes - but we all aim to be intercultural - the tip of the arrows come together). You had done the purple and blue different in the versions with the leaves. This was what gave me the idea to have them different.

Hope that helps! Thanks!

Sounds good, I will check your doc right now, and the circles just to be sure, its the thinner lines at end of the arrow you like, correct! just want to make sure for circles!, thanks

I like this font too.

Yes, Iike this font better with the Aim not all in capital letters. Did you see my new attachments with suggestions for small arrow ends? I'm not sure about these points. I also liked the smaller size of the circles before. Thanks.

Don't like the lower case i and a.

I like this font in bold but not the lower case i. Can I see this one with a capital I. Also, can you make the circles smaller like in the old version? Thanks.

This font is too curvy. Especially the I.

Hello Amy, I just uploaded, some new design, with the Font changes from this morning, I will check out your document :) I saw your msg after I uploaded my new ones!

Hi Evo Tie - I've just uploaded another Word document with some ideas for smaller ends to the arrows. I'm getting some feedback at the curls are too much. I see you did change some of the ends in the new designs, but I feel the leaves and flowers are too busy and too big. Can you please try just very simple ends to each arrow color? Thanks. I'll wait for your response before making any more suggestions. Thanks!

What about the font you used for #23 (but lower case Aim)?

I like this font, but not the capital I. I wonder what it would look like with a lower case i.

Hi - I think I like this font. I suggested script because of a different logo I liked, but with the straight lines on the arrow, I'm thinking the other scripts are too curvy. Do you have any non-script fonts you'd suggest? Maybe similar to the original one you used?
Thanks!

Hi - Can I see this #47 font with the Aim not capitalized?
Thanks!

Hi Evo Tie - Thanks for sending all the font changes. It's hard for me to decide. Could I see this #65 in bold?

I see you also changed the ends of the arrows. I thought I would like the leaves but I'm not sure. It seems like too much and too big. What do you think? I do like the purple diamond shape and I also like the blue end you changed. Could we please go back to no leaves and just something simple like these 2 shapes on each end? Thanks! I looked at the other fonts too.
I appreciate you!

I submited Also a bunch of other script fonts, let me know if you request more fonts! but I beleive you got some good choices in their, let me know, have a great day :)

I submit three new ones with fonts you requested, I will submit more choices with script fonts, just wanted to give you the ones you requested for now, never maybe one jumps at you you...me personally I like #61...the A in aim...goes well with the design! :) let me know!

Oh Awsome, that helps a lot :) Script font it is....No I dont think it is allowed...but I have lots of choices for you to pick one :) il submit today!...stay tuned :)

I don't know much about finding fonts. I looked at Freewarefonts.com under scripts and found Aka Dora, Alex Brush, and Honey Script. There is one logo with a script type font I really like. I've send the designer a request for the name but I'm not sure if that's allowed. Mostly, I like a script.

Also, I do not want the word Aim in all capital letters.

Thanks!

Hello, for sure I can, if you like, thats what I do, I go to GOOGLE FONT..and pick the fonts their, they are all free.
1. Do you have a exemple of a font you like, I dont see the link. but il try something a little more conservative, their is this font called philosopher that is nice, but il see what I can do on that.

2. I like leafs on the end, its very pleasing to the eye, il try that so you can see that better.

3. Its ok, I understand, I just know I can make your logo and your vision a reality with your help and guidance and my work :)

Hope that helps

cheers

Hello - this logo looks really good to me but I'd like to see it with a couple changes. Could you do the same design but with a couple different fonts? Something soft and a bit casual like this one.
Also, could you make the ends of the arrows (currently they look like very small feathers) something different? Maybe diamond shaped? Or like a leaf? Thanks. I'm having a hard time deciding but have this ranked 1st for now. I appreciate your time and hard work with the changes.

I wanted to put some use of those arrows, I think thats was missing, some serious in the concept. so in your website...if you have different topics you can use this in your branding, one arrow ( color ) for each topic. and thanks, let me know if you require anything else!

Wonderful! I like the straight lines as well. The colors are perfect. I like the new clean lines at the arrow tip (less fun and more serious but still pretty and colorful). I also like the added design on the arrow end curls. Thanks!

I added arrow end, so You have four colors for different aims, maybe you can use this in your branding or your message, I think it looks more professional now, cause we have a message behind the design, plus the way the text is place it looks like its aiming at something on the right, like the arrow is ready to go...I personally like the one with the straight arrow as its more clean, you have the different shape of swirls at end of each arrow to make them different. let me know!

Thank you!

Yes for sure let me see what I can do!

Hello - I'm still considering this logo but have some concern that it may be too fun and not professional enough. I think I've asked for too much color and curls. Do you have any ideas to make it more professional? I like the 4 colors and curls at the end. Maybe the the arrow line could be just one color? I'm not sure. Any ideas?

I can understand, that, When I am creating a logo, I always make it work in black and white first, then I make it small to see if its still clear. it depends what you want to use this logo for, Printing, like t-shirst, or this is just a web based logo!...Let me know if you want other corrections, I can try simplier fonts too!...

I like this font. Thanks! I'm still debating how busy to go or to go more simple. It's a hard decision.

Thanks for trying a different font. I think this one is a bit too feminine.

Oh for sure!, I can do that!...hopefully I will rise up the ranks :)

Love the 4 colors at the end of the arrow! Very cool! I think the font is too difficult to read. Is there more of a curly printed font?

Yes, a bit like a script font, but not too much that is difficult to read.

Yes for sure :) when you say a curve in the font, you mean like a SCRIPT font, so it fits with the lines of the arrow...I think that would make it nice too...I have the perfect font for that...and yes everything is possible!..will submit very soon :) my goeral is to be your top logo in this contest..:)

Yes, thank you, this is what I was wanting to see. Could you please show me this with the a more curvy font. Now that the lines are thin, the font seems o thick and straight. What do you think? Would it also be possible to have some of the red and light green on both ends of the arrow? It seems off balance on color. Thank you very much!

Hello, Goodmorning :)
Would this be in line what you in vision!
have a great day!

Thank you for the changes. I really like this and am considering it. The colors are perfect. Wondering what it might look like if the arrow lines were thinner, more petite.

Yes, thank you, I like this better. Could the tip have a bit more design/curls and could the curls on the end be asymmetrical and not cover the letters? Thanks!

Hello, let me know if this is better! thank you :)

Thank you for the logo design. I like the boldness of the design, the colors pop nicely with the bold black letters. I like the use of the 4 colors but not sure about the yellow. I was thinking light bright green (chartreuse). I'm also thinking the arrow looks like a weapon the way it cuts through the Aim. I love the end of the arrow, the softness of the point, and the extra red diamond. What does it look like a bit longer and not cutting through the letters of Intercultural and Aim? I'm also thinking now that the arrow should have a bit of a curve since crossing cultures is not a very straight forward task. Thanks again. I hope this helps. Could the font be a bit less straight, more curve?
