I really like your work and I am trying to figure out how best to make it work. Love the colors, red is not too bright which is good. I REALLY like the icon in #10, but I'm not crazy about the word under it. I LOVE #1, but I like the icon in #10 better. The "X" in #1 looks a little like a "Q" if you are just looking at it. I know what it is suppose to say, but just eye balling it, it looks a little like a Q, but I LOVE the design. Could you maybe make the "\" part of the "X" a little bigger? I wonder how that would do? I'm not sure how it works, but do I only get to pick one? I like the icon in number #10 maybe by itself so I could use it as an icon, but I like the word as a logo in #1 with maybe a few more modifications. Could I see it on white so I could compare "Apples to Apples"? Would it be too much to put the icon from #10 over the logo on #1? In your professional oppion, it that too busy? Maybe if the "X" were bigger in #10 in the word ITXPERT and the dot over the "x" stayed the same size, like a person holding up their arms? or the "it" were lower case and the "pert" were lower case on #10 much like th same font in #1. I like the little shawdow under the icon in #10, but I do not believe I could use it on a web page unless the background was white? I need crisp edges for use on a web site unless I use a white background, then I really like the shadows! This would also print well, very important. Hope this isn't too much!! Sorry about all the changes, but it is your fault for being so talented! ;o) Thanks!
Glad you like my work and thanks for the great feedback! We can work this out and if you'll go with my design I can immediately provide you with the needed files. Anyway, here are some options for you to choose--- entry #19, entry #20, entry #21 and entry #22. In my opinion, since you are going to separate the icon and logotype, it wouldn't make it too busy.
My personal favorite is entry #19 and #21. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
OK, can we try just one more? Try taking the round blue icon on top of #19 and putting "pert" after it just to see what it looks like. So it would be one image (one logo/word)... Round icon + "pert". I like the fact that #19 the "X" looks better without the entire circle, looks more like an "X". I like #19 the best because the begining of the word logo and the icon match. I would use them seperately, and they are more similar (matching) than just the bolded word by itself dont you think? OK, and maybe just one other thing...On #21, can we make one exactly like it, but make the "X" in itXpert a little bigger? Since I have never done this before, would I get the round icon and the "word" logo seperated or would it be one picture that I would have to separate? The reason I ask is because I dont know the size and if I cut it in half, would the icon be too small and the logo/word? Thanks for the hard work!
Hi! Here's the update as requested ---- entry #25 and entry #26. No problem with the files, once we wrap this up, I can provide you the files for both the logo and icon separately for your convenience.
You know, #25 is starting to grow on me. Do you think the "pert" is all you see? I tried printing the page just to see what it looked like in black and white, and the "pert" is what you read first, but it looks good in color. People are telling me they like #25 better, but I think the bottom part of #19 is easier to read. hmmmmm.. this is hard!
You do not have to make new ones, but I might need the "red" on the ball icon just a "LITTLE" brighter. I cut and patsted the ball icon in photoshop and squeezed it down to 32X32 just to see what it would look like, and the red "X" was just hard to see. It might stand out a little more if it were just a little brighter, but I dont like bright reds, I guess, I'm being too picky. Also, just playing with it... could you extend bottom right part of the "X" on the ball just a little so it "pokes" out from the ball a little. I'm wondering if it would look visually better if it just breaks the plane of the edge of the ball? What do you think? Is it better looking if it keeps the shape of the ball? Man, this is hard! I still like yours best. Thanks!
The red was hard to see when you squeezed it down was because it is not yet a high resolution file. You'll be provided with high resolution files as soon as you decide to wrap this up. Anyway, I think your suggestion to extend the bottom of the "X" from the circle was a good idea! It makes it more readable now and of course, better looking!
Thanks, I think that looks a lot better! I'm going to put the ones in then "not interested" pile that dont have the extended "X" on the ball (doesn't mean I'm not intrested!), just trying to clean up. Is it too much trouble to ask to change the #19 (My favorite one?) to fix the ball? Could I get the ball by itself and the word for #19 by itself? Is that too much to ask? I have to explain to eveyone that the #19 would be seperated. When I get people to look, they never like my first choice because it is too busy. Thanks.
Holy Moly, you stay on this thing all the time?!?!? lol Thanks.... One other thing... I know, I know...this is killing me too ;o) I really like #54 better than #53. I like the "pert" smaller, and I see what you are doing (very professional) keeping the top of the "pert" with the itX on the ball, and the "p" bottom is now inline with the bottom of the "X" on #54, I like that better, but I printed both of these out and #53 the "pert is too big, and #54 the "pert" just looks a little too small. Could we try the "pert" in between sizes? Would it be unprofessional not to line up? Thanks!
Before I forget... I keep forgetting to mention that I want to remove the shadow under the ball on any of the logos. Maybe next time we update #55 and #56. Sorry I didnt mention it sooner. Ugh... Thanks
Just a question... We talked about splitting #64 into the icon, and the "word" by itself as separate files, but I really like #62 also because it compliments the other ones. I could use it as more branding on my web site. The word "itXpert" (bottom part of #64) is going to be my official logo, but could I get all 3 files? Would it help to go ahead and split #64 and I would rank the itXpert word by itself as number 1, the icon by itself as number 2 and #62 as number 3. Would that look better on your ranking? Or help you in any way? Thanks!
Yes, I could give you all three files if you pick my design as the winner. Of course, ranking all my designs would be greatly appreciated. Hope we could wrap this up as soon as possible. :-D
