My entries. #1 - magnifying glass on the "o" to refer to search #2 - combined J and I referring to the name with the circle going to the dot symbolizing the recruitment proces. (Sort of picking the right one)
Hi Luke- that was quick thank you so much! I like them both a lot. Do you think it is too much to combine the magnifying glass with the logo in the first one? I am also thinking of adding an Inc. to the end. I will add that in my comments area in general. Kristy
I really like how you incorporate my company name into your design on #6 could you try my company name without all caps? and maybe some varieties of the J I R ? Thanks!
Uploaded the different color setups. I used dark blues, blacks, greys, greens because I felt that would keep up the relation between the mark and text the best.
Tell me which design and color scheme you like best so I can try some variations on that one. Or if you had a color in mind I could try that. Let me know!
so i plan on working with you in this last phase on this concept to get it exactly right . I will look at all the different variations you have come up with and we will make it perfect! thank you so much for your persistence. I will be in touch but will need a day or so to really look at each one and figure out what i need you to try, change or add
HI Luke I thought I would start with the parts that I am sure that i would like in the final logo and then move to the things I am unsure of and then follow up with possible suggestions Here is what i do know I like 1- the company name stacked as in #103 I also am pretty sure I like the font color in #103 as well. I like how the neon green brings out the same color in the heads of the people in the design part. 2- Jones-Ingham with just the first letter of each word in caps, I am still unsure of if I want "RECRUITING, INC" in all caps but I do like how "recruiting" is on one side of the 'g" and "Inc" is on the other. 3- I like the color schemed of neon green heads, dark blue circle and light blue upper body in both styles as in #103 and #100 Here is what I am unsure of 3-regarding the actual design part of the logo I am not sure which I like better the one that seems to be a magnifying glass like in #70 OR in #98 that is more of a circle. I like that the magnifying glass represents the "search " part of what I do but I also like the looks of the circle because it brings out the JIR
4-I still haven't decided if i like the logo part on top of or beside the company name
suggestions/ideas 1-could you try making the handle of the magnifying glass longer? both with the blunt end and the rounded end 2-could you try something like #103 but with the design on top of the company name? play around with that as many ways as you would like with and with out the longer handle. maybe the handle could lead into the capitol "I" of "Jones-Ingham"? 3- could you try with different size font (larger) ?
any recommendations or suggestions about anything please I am open!! Thanks again! Kristy
Just oploaded all the variations you asked for. I based the designs mainly on the color scheme of #103.
Explanation:
- Longer handle on the glass: #112 / #113 - Current ranked first in the new color scheme: #114 - Larger font: #115 - Bolder font and "recruiting" and "inc" with only the first letter in caps: #116 - Smaller font (same as 116) with a subtle stroke: #117 - Graphic with a larger handle on top: #118 / #119 - Personal favorite: #120 (3 color setup, a bit darker blue in the graphic to create some more contrast and I think everything comes out great without being forced. The glass, the people and the JIR combination)
I think your request "The handle could lead into the capitol "I" of "Jones-Ingham"?" wouldn't work that well, because the either the handle would be too small or the letter "I" too thick. And that limits your option to use your logo because the graphic and the name are merged, which results that you can't use the parts as stand alone. But that's just me.
I also dislike the use of a larger handle where the graphic is on top of the name. I think it creates too much space between the graphic and the name, losing it's connection.
This is my advice and thoughts. This can be different from yours, but don't get me wrong, it will be your logo. So pick the one you like best.
ok I think after seeing this new batch and really thinking about it I just want to stick with the types that are just the circle with no handle. I think although the magnifying glass is a great idea it takes away from my what I really like about the over all concept which is the JIR integrated with the people.. So... If it is ok with you I am just going to move all the ones without the handle to the top in the ranking so I can compare and contrast
ok i think it is going to be some version of 116 or 117, So any revisions just make to 116 and 117 A few things- can you make recruiting in in the same style as Jones-Ingham? ie not all caps
I am working with a web designer on a new website and he says I need to not separate recruiting and inc so can you put them together lined up on the left under Jones-Ingham. Also he thinks the font needs to be bigger so can you try a few variations (of 116 and 117) with larger font?
ok i think this is the last thing, 125 and 126 are my top 2 ( I think i like 126 best). I am afraid you won't be able to read the "Recruiting Inc" part because it is that neon green (even tho i really like that color). Can you play around with different colors,ie maybe a few shades darker, or the same color as jones-ingham, or shades of grey , or the same color as the darker blue that is the lower part of the letters and the circle.
I uploaded the designs with different colors for the tagline. #127 till #134
I also uploaded this version (the same as 126 but with a semi bold for the tagline, maybe it's better readable because it isn't that thick) #135
I just used the 126 for these designs. If you want to use the 125 (without the line) Let me know what color setup you want so I can apply that.
If you are going to use a darker shade of the green for the tagline, I think it's best to apply that darker green to the heads aswell. To keep it one unit.
