Jackknife Creek Land & CattleLogo Design Contest

Awesome awesome awesome! I think we're almost there :) We like this length of the wheat head as compared to #125, but could we lift that bottom one up just a touch more for comparison's sake? Maybe like how #125 has one kernel overlapping? Thanks!

Love the kernels on these wheat heads, they are perfect! We were just wondering if we could change the angle on the lower heads, to bring them up a bit, more like in #119, but if we could keep the heads the same size, the kernels are a bit big in #120. Thanks!

Like these wheat heads better! Could we try just tweaking them slightly by maybe narrowing up the kernels a touch? And maybe once you do that, it might be possible to angle them a touch more toward the top of the head and less outward. This picture might make that make more sense: http://comps.canstockphoto.jp/can-stock-photo_csp5908074.jpg
And after that could we see a version of this one and one similar to #116 with the single head? Thanks!

will provide now

I think maybe the kernels need to be more rounded or something...? Here's a link to a clipart that I like: http://www.i2clipart.com/cliparts/c/6/a/d/clipart-wheat-black-and-white-c6ad.png
And maybe if the tails at the end weren't so long that would help too. And definitely still like the cows off to the side. I think there's a picture of a wheat head that we all picked in the contest brief as well. Let me know if you would like more reference pictures!

ok

Could we make them a bit less detailed so that there's more definition, if that makes sense? Kinda so that it's more clear when the logo is smaller that they are wheat heads

what should i do with wheat head?

Sorry for the late response, things got a bit hectic back here! Need a bit more time to decide on colours yet, but could we work on the wheat heads now?

Awesome!!! Like how the cow doesn't have a gradient but the calf does, that looks super cool.
We're a little bit split on the colours, could you give us a version that has a colour somewhere in between this one and what you used in #104?
And like the colour scheme on the lettering and wheat, just a different wheat head of course if possible. Thanks!

Prefer #104 where the wheat is separating the two lines of text

Up close we kind of like this one better, probably because the calf's head isn't so brown-orange maybe. But #104 is in first because it looks better and more definitive when you see it smaller or from a distance or whatever...hope that makes sense or helps you somehow!

We like the gradients I think! If we could maybe get the calf's head a bit more cherry and a little less brown?
And I think it's better having all the lettering the same colour like it is here, sorry about that. And the black cow red calf is better than the red cow black calf.
And of course the wheat heads like we've talked about before.

Like how the "J" and the "C" is slightly bigger rather than all same height

Love love love this! We'd like to still play around with colours some if you don't mind :)
How would this look if the animals had the gradient effect that you did when they were green? And if we could try the calf a more cherry red if that makes sense...a bit less brown and more towards burgundy or something. And maybe a version of the cow in the reddish brown and the calf black, mostly just for comparison's sake.
And if we could see a couple different wheats...maybe the heads need a little less detail and to be blockier or something.
I think the font is good, could we maybe see one version where "Land & Cattle" is a different colour? I think I said earlier that we liked it all the same but now I guess we're waffling a bit again, sorry!
Thanks so much!

Prefer just solid colour on the cow and calf

Like this a lot!
Font is good, definitely like how "Jackknife Creek" is all capitalized. And I think we like how all the lettering is the same colour too.
We're a bit split on the colouring - if we could ask to see a few more combinations? Maybe a black cow and a dark red calf, and the green that's in #81 maybe keep the green, but just decrease the gradient on the calf - I think maybe it's the bright green on the head that's throwing us.
Like how you've incorporated the wheat into the logo! I think the heads need a bit of tweaking, maybe less detail and more definition on the kernels? But overall like how it doesn't throw off the feel of the logo, keeps it cohesive.
And I think we prefer a logo without the "glow" effect around it, I think mainly just so it's easier to transfer to whatever we decide to use it on.
Thanks!

That cow and calf are awesome! Still like to see if it's possible to incorporate some wheat...like maybe two heads underneath "Land & Cattle"?
If possible we'd also like to see some colour variants (like maybe a dark reddish brown) and maybe a few different fonts.
And perhaps less gradient on the calf? Not sure if it would stand out as well I guess though. Maybe it would also look different with a different colour, it might be the bright bright green that's throwing us a bit

Prefer the black and green over the brown :)

I kind of like how the cow is off to the left here too, but putting it over the lettering might make it easier when incorporating the wheat? Not sure if that helps haha!

Is there any way to flatten the wheat out some? We like the shape of the wheat though I think, the detail on it is good. The circle just gives it more of an emblem feel, and we've been leaning towards the more open feel of logos. We love this font too though!

Really like the cow in this logo. Is there any way we could incorporate a wheat head? Or would that totally throw off this concept's feel?

Prefer #8, thanks!

Like these colours a lot! Overall doesn't seem to totally communicate the crops side of the farm though. Thanks!

Prefer #8 because the font is a solid colour

Kind of like how there are two additional cows in the background, but are leaning away from emblem style logos overall. Thanks!

Nice concept! Like how it incorporates the sun and grass, and the deeper brown is nice too. The only thing maybe is we've kind of been leaning away from any emblem-ish styles, would we be able to see one that is less circular?

This blocky font is nice!

We also like the layout of this one too - neat how the one animal is off to the side and the colour gradient is cool too!

Oh and also maybe downsize the cattle a little bit, just so they aren't overwhelming the text :)

Thanks for your submissions! We like this one, how it doesn't show the whole animal, but is cut off at the knees is cool. How the "J" underlines all of "Jackknife Creek" is also very good! We'd like to see the brown changed to maybe a deeper shade, or perhaps a more reddish brown similar to an old barn or the colour of our cattle in some of the pictures we put in for reference? We were also wondering if there was a way you could show that we're more than just beef - maybe a wheat head somewhere? Thanks!
