I saw this contest and figured, I need to join this one. :) I did somewhat detailed version of the Tower of Pisa and decided to try some alternative ways of using it within the logo. Additionally I wanted to reference the media aspect of your business.
#83 I used the tower as a "pause" button #82 "pause/play" button #80 and a few others I used the "O" in the word nation as the play button #79 the O is the Italian flag.
I also chose to play with the tower inside the letter "I" . Because the tower itself has a lot of detail, I felt that the "I" in the tower like you currently have would get completely lost.
Your feedback and revision are alway welcome and will help better guide me on which direction to try.
I think I understood the comments incorrectly. Are you wanting something similar to what you currently have???
I did another simpler version and closer to what you have. I did try to make the letters look more simialr to each other so that it reads more "ITALIA" nation and less "Talia" nation. Your thoughts and feedback would be helpful.
I like the ideas you are coming up with . The logo i have attached to this contest is the current company logo. We have alot of print and such with this logo and our CEO wants the tower to be the first letter in Italianation. Since we produce our on media content we are also looking for something we can use a video bug, as you see on most tv networks in either the bottom right and left hand corner of the screen. We are launching our new website in the next few weeks and the color scheme is the red and gold. Let me know if you have any other questions. We like a line under the word Italianation as we have seen in some designs, but don't want trees with the tower.
I'll try more along those lines then. I'm sure you probably have heard this many times but, I had the concern that the name reads too much like Talianation. Is it ok to include the tower in the letter "I" rather than the "I" in the tower? Also, I want to make the text "talianation" look more like the "I" or vise versa so that they do not become two competing elements. Lastly, should I drop the play button in the "O"? Again, thanks for your feedback.
I like 99 do that with more of the gold than red. Also the fold in our logo is important. Go to you tube and look up Italian American network that's all our programming. To much work to redo all the programming logos so tying in that color and scheme would be huge.
Great! The gold like in the AI logo then? I see that the the serif font is much more bold (this is what I was hoping for) otherwise, the thin lines will be difficult to hold up. It will be working on this shortly.
I reworked the Tower of Pisa into a more stylized version with a few options. On #104 and #106 I took a page from the videos and thought it would be nice to tie in this logo to the IA video box. I made the IA in gold to match the existing network logo. (I can also do the actual logo, but not sure if it's too much.) For #105, I highlighted the IAN for Italian American Network. Hope these are to your liking. As always, your continued feedback is appreciated. Also, feel free to request any mix-n-match or changes in font, color...
Really like #105, been so busy getting the new website done haven't had much time to rank the logos so don't read into anything on that. I would like to see the tower say on 105 or another more pronounced on the lean to see how that looks. I will go over these with the team tomorrow and hopefully get back to you mid day or so. Appreciate your efforts.
105 i would like to see if just the IA are gold to see how that will look. Also for #83 i would like to see the play button be first than the pause towers and than the stop button. We like this idea as maybe using it for the videos as what we call video bug, but like 105 as the main logo. Also seeing 105 as i mentioned above in my previous comment.
We are getting close but want to see the following:
#116 - reverse the colors in the tower/I Red inside gold on the outside. Connect the underline to the I so they are one and not separate.
We like 93 as potentially a picture mark, we would have to see how we can work this, however we would be interested in seeing #95 without the trees.
#93 without the trees, green grass and the blue sky like u have in 95. We would also like to see that without the word italianation since may use it as a picture mark so the name does not have to be included.
We really like your work and efforts and see this could be a relationship to build on as we have need for graphic designers for other projects. my personal email is - rickc@egs-ny.com
I'll make the changes, this afternoon and upload them. Forgive me if I do not respond to your personal email initially. Until the contest is finalized, we are not allowed any personal contact outside of LT (Logotournament). However when a contest does finalize, then LT is OK with the designer and the client continuing work on a one-on-one basis. We would then be able to communicate and discuss any additional work directly. :)
Since #95 and #93 are both more complex, it'll take a bit more work and time, but I'll get them up for viewing this afternoon.
137 looks good. A few minor tweaks. Less red windows so the tower isn't so wide on top and in middle. Also we want to see The underline to start off as gold than tapers to the red around the T or so. We also feel the Font is a bit to thick almost looks cartoonish maybe to much of a slant. Your the one we are going with just want to get the logo right for the ceo. Sorry typing on my phone.
