Can you try #204 with the letters KACU on the same line? As well, in capital letters? The line weight of the typeface is good, though we typically use capital letters. Open to lowercase if it works. The bubble could hint at a comma if it were flipped horizontally. What do you think?
Only first five ranked are able to submit entries in top five phase. If you are really interested in seing my entries in black, you can re-rank provisionally in order I can submit them.
We're interested in seeing a version with the quotation mark flipped horizontally, as well as with two quotation marks. We're most interested in seeing KACU in black and the symbol can be one color. Also open to palette ideas.
By "flipped horizontally" I was referring to the Y axis, rather than rotated to a horizontal position. Can we see some with the quotation(s) facing the other direction.
We just extended our contest one more day. We would like to see a few more designs with 89.5 and KACU. We would like to see your ideas with 89.5 being primary as well as KACU being primary.
The 89.5 numbers are too small to read when shown at small sizes. We'd like to see your perspective with more prominent 89.5. If possible, we'd like to see KACU as most prominent in the relationship but also to see some experiments with 89.5 as most prominent in the relationship. The idea of quotation marks or apostrophe are strong, but interested to see how you can get all of these in one cohesive design.
#632 feels better. Can you apply the kerning to #630? And also try that stacked version with the square version of the symbol? Perhaps square on the right where it connects with the name but round on the left? Also, we'd like to see it all black as well.
I've just uploaded new entries in green and black with your sugestions. I've created two new shapes based on your idea of make a mix of circle and square ( #644, #645 and #646)
