Is there anyway you could exchange the Symbol above Kama Studios for a hovering flame ball or something representative of tribal workings? Exotic even...I like the font for Kama Studios,

Thanks,

great feedback. I did some more research and created an original tribal flame for you. Feedback welcome.

Its very nice, is there anyway to change the K and increase the ball of flame, make the flame even more, making the flame a symbol of the company, great design though on the flame,

Thanks,

This new version is nice, is there anyway to make it more obvious that it is indeed fire? I like the style though that you have with it,

Keep it up,

here is a variation with a ball of flame.

#110 is great, is there a way to extend the left side also of the flame,
Also, what would this look like against all black and all white...pure colours...
Then what would be the optimal colour scheme?

Thanks,

here it is with the flame sides more balanced. I will upload 2 more in a sec.

This is an extremely good looking and versatile mark which looks great on white

and black. I'm curious as to what you like in particular about your 1st and second ranked entries...would you like a different font?

The first one was a design thing, in terms of the flame, the second one is most definetly the font given though, I'm looking for quite a unique font the black image looks amazing, a change of font of some sort, I'm not the best at deciding upon fonts, You made a good decision on the flames, the thing lacking in the white image though is the way the flames look, in the black it looks amazing on the white it doesn't so much,
The fonts very standard though, so hopefully you could come up with something equally as unique but also professional looking with an air of simplicity to it

Client
There is something though about the flame that feels uneven, the design is great but there is something about the even side of the image that gives off an odd feel, maybe you could address this, it looks very well done but maybe its me looking at the image quite small,

Thanks,
15 years ago
 
Client
Also if you find a way to further the tribal design in the flames more, that would be great, although as it is now, if you think going any further would be an issue for the image then don't,

Thanks again,

Logo Designer
i have cleaned up the design to help balance it more. Adding any more detail into it will make the mark too intricate to look effective anymore i think. The issue with you have with it being on white can easily be addressed by oultining the flames in black to make them stand out more.

oh and the new font is actually on fire too. It is difficult to tell on the small thumbnail though

Client
#113 and #114,
These two have very nice, could you do a cross between the two, #114 now looks a bit star trek like and #113 was nice it wasn't just uniform, if theres a way to find a nice medium between the two, perhaps going with #113 but adding extra tails or something, not quite sure, just want to avoid the star trek look and keep with the whole tribal feel that original was found,

The font against the black looks a bit odd, is there any other font?perhaps making one from scratch, the font itself doesn't need to be on fire if the symbol itself speaks enough, therefore the font can rather straight forward,

You asked previously about what I liked with the first entry, the font is simple and the symbol does a lot more of the work,

Also you said the issue can be addressed with a black outline, putting aside the font, once this symbol has been sorted, it would be nice to see the side by side comparison of white and black,

Thanks,

Logo Designer
here is a less symmetrical version and what i believe is the best yet. I have put some more focus back on a custom font for you.

(This comment references Entry #147)

Logo Designer
here's the latest on white. As you can see a simple outline of the flames makes them stand off the page.

(This comment references Entry #148)

Client
#147 stands out weirdly enough more then #148
#148, when the symbol is placed against white the colour of the image is lost whilst when against black in #147 it holds and is quite powerful in its colour,
The extra tails you've placed, can the tribal design be added to these?

As for the custom font, its nice but very chinese scripture, as a result the K overlaps onto the A, not completely but just a tad bit, the relaxed idea is nice and you maintain the professional look that I want with the font, yet chinese scripture look, as I would call it, isn't probably the best as it gives off chinese influences rather then a pacific island influences, perhaps pushing what you've done with the symbol into the font, in terms of how you've made the tribal work for the symbol without over powering it, you can do similarly with the font,

Thanks,

Logo Designer
i have added the tribal detail to the the whisps and tried a new font. This really pops now.

(This comment references Entry #159)

Logo Designer
here is a version on white with a lot of work put into the font. It is pacific islander tribal style.

(This comment references Entry #161)
15 years ago
 
Client
#159 definitely feels like its more hard hitting then #161,
The only issue being how think the M is and if there's anyway to bring the thickness overall down just a little bit,
#161 seems a bit more swinging back to the asian side again, although the relaxed feel of the pacific is there #159 seems a lot more towards the tribal style,
The question being though how well does #159 work on white?
So far all the designs done seem to work best against black, given though it'd be nice to have a versatile design,
The other thing is that now the extra tails look good, can the tribal look be added to the tips of the original flames or something, it just looks like the symbol is on fire also instead of it all being fire, if you get what I mean,
The tribal design overall on that symbol looks amazing, very nicely added on the extra tails too,

Thanks,

Logo Designer
Can you please tell me if this is going to be your preferred design. I am happy to make changes but am worried that I will ultimately just be perfecting design you don't want. I have made many changes thus far and still I am ranked third. How do you want me to proceed?

Logo Designer
tribal elements added to the entire flame and the M has been thinned out.

(This comment references Entry #165)
15 years ago
 
Client
Keeping the font as it is, can you further add a tribal look to it, similarly like you have done with the flames, the K looks like its lacking compared to the two A's and now that the M is been thinned down certain areas of it looks like its overly thin, such as the right side of the M, thin parts of the middle (The V part) is ok, its the two ends that look like it lacks but more so the right side then the left,
Can the symbol be enlarged just slightly,
Once this process is done, I would like to make it work on white, the reason being is that I want to easily interchange and allow the symbol to be placed on any colour possible, if it works on White and Black it should be able to be placed on any surface really, well thats hopefully the idea I thought, Whites more important though then any other colour, given the Black truly makes this symbol and the text pop,

Thanks,
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
ok....this took some time but i think the result is amazing. The deeper red really pops on the white and the tribal additions finish this off nicely. I sincerely hope this takes your number one slot now.

(This comment references Entry #191)

Client
It's great,it speaks a lot for itself,the font especially.
The colour schemes very well done,it's smooth and definetly has a flow to it...
Does this new colour scheme work equally on black?
Can the start of the red,the source be just slightly,slightly deeper,not a lot just a little and the tips go from orange to the yellow in the original image,
I'm looking to merge the two images done to get the best result for both colours,hopefully though the new colour scheme can stay as the reds and the flow is nice,

Thanks,

ok here is an example with the revisions on black...

(This comment references Entry #192)

and it still pops on the white which is wonderful.

(This comment references Entry #193)

Client
I like the new colour scheme on the black, when I saw the image on my phone it looked fine, but now I'm on my computer I've just noticed against white #193 is bright on the tips, the red and the orange transition to the yellow is fine, it definitely appears to be working,
Also on the white can the symbol have a slightly black line, not obvious but slight,
The M dies on the white a little bit compared to the black,

Thanks,
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
ok. You have a very keen eye because i forgot to blend the M in the white version. That is now fixed and after giving the flames the thinnest black stroke i could I ran this past a few other designers and all they had to say was wow. I am happy with the result, let me know what you think.

(This comment references Entry #200)
15 years ago
 
Client
#200, it looks much better then the first version of the white, now they are almost on even plane :)
The longest tip on the white design, can the yellow be just a tad bit darker yellow, just want to give it equal life as the second longest tip,
The M on the white, right side, stroke down at the end of the M, the inner side of it still looks rather thin compared to the black, I obviously don't want to revert back to it being thick, but rather just adding that extra bit or losing it entirely, currently there are still specs here and there that stick out just a little bit when looked at with a keen eye, just want to smoothen those issues out,
Also on the topic of smoothening, can you just go over it and smoothen it all out, refine every edge every aspect of it,
Is there any chance you could post a hi-rez version somewhere after you've done that process? I'm just a bit worried if I stare on this one here too long I might end up not liking some of the results that actually on your screen, being the larger image, may look 100 times better, unlikely though in the other direction but also possible, hopefully you understand this, as we get closer to the finishing I'm obviously going to go into great detail to make sure that the image is as perfect as can be,

Thanks,

I cannot post you any high res version of logos as it is against policy and I need to protect my work from theft. I have tried my best to resolve your requests and will post a new white version soon. this is all vector art so you need not worry about smooth edges and i can assure you it all looks better as a full version. but i have cleaned up any loose ends a flecks still remaining as well as slightly shaping all edges in a fashion that prevents any outlines from clashing. I have measure the M to ensure it is weighed in proportion with the other letters. Cheers

i have also tried to match the two highest flame tips for you.

(This comment references Entry #202)

Client
#202, on both left and right side, the flames on the outer edges that are very close to the main design, can these be pulled out slightly, just slightly,
When you post the new white one can you also post the version as well with all new amendments,

Thanks,

Logo Designer
this is the white with all revisions.

(This comment references Entry #203)

Client
One other change on the white #203, keep the left side of the M the same as #192, the bottom bit on the first stroke up,

Thanks,
15 years ago
 
Client
Can it be placed on the black, On the black the closeness you had previously on the external flames was nice so I just want to know that the way it is now on the white works on the black as effectively,

Thanks,

Logo Designer
here it all is on black

(This comment references Entry #206)

and you always have the option to stroke it all in white to make it pop more.

(This comment references Entry #207)

Client
#206 and #203, is my mind playing tricks on me, because currently the M's still look like small minor details are off on each of them such as the left leg bottom part, might be if i stare at it took long, but otherwise I would prefer the #206 design to the #207, although is it possible to bright up the #206 design just a bit, the power of #165 was that on the black it stood out due to its contrast to the black, need to find a nice medium between the white and black that doesn't look too bright on the white and obviously on the black not too dark, difficult but i want to keep that thin stroke of black all around the image, constant in both, as well as the font,
Although can studios just be made larger, only by a little bit, nothing serious just a little bit, still want Kama to be obviously the way it is,

Thanks,
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
ok here are the revisions.
- I have evened the cutouts on the M's legs to give them symmetry.
- I have tightened up the lines on the flames a little to give it greater unity.
- The gradient on the flames has been changed by pushing back the deeper red a little into the base of the flames to still allow them to stand out on white but give them the ability to have a higher contrast on black too.
- studios has been expanded slightly.

cheers.

With the latest revision, Can i see it against white?

Good to hear your tweaking it yourself also, always good to know a designers very involved, I'm enjoying the life this design has and the fact that it is becoming very versatile against colours,

Just a quick note on #235, the bottom right side, the big part with the L like curve in it, the colour movement between the Red to orange doesn't suit as well next to its opposite side, can the colour go from Red to orange to yellow like the rest? Hopefully you can understand the bit I'm try to describe,
As of yet I haven't found anything else to change so if you find something please go ahead and amend, in the next 5 days I want to hit every point possible to make it perfect,

Keep it up,
Thanks,

Logo Designer
ok so I have placed the revision on white and the changes as you can see have made a difference. I have slightly adjusted that one gradient to better match the group. I have also tweaked the yellow used as the deeper color works better on black and really stands out on the white so that the tips aren't lost. I have also just set the text to prevent me knocking out any symmetry.

#245, is this still using that thin line of black?
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
#245 no this is not but as you can see the flame still stands out better than it has before thanks to the slight color changes. I think this is now a winner.
15 years ago
 
Client
#245, can there have that added small thin black line that you had done previously just for me to see...
Most definitely there has been a lot of work in this, just going to wait till the competition ends to make sure I don't miss out any points on this design...

Thanks,
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
here you go. The black stroke has been added to the flame. :)

looks good...
Ok on these final two...if i was to receive it and then up-res it to 4096×3072 would it look pixelated? or if I was to down res it from whatever size received to something smaller?
