Thank you,
Ayik

Hi thanks!

Can we see #335 on a white background.

Also we are wondering if your abstract marks can be simplified a little? Not sure how though...

Thanks

update #352 #353 #355 #356 #357 #358 #359 #361 #362 #266

Thank you,
Ayik

Thank you we prefer the simpler version.

Are you able to update the font similar to #193 but all the same size in black.

Thanks!

Hi Ayik

Thanks for the updates - we obviously like them!

Can you also try using the same font as used for the word 'Karem' in #242

We would also like to see some bold colours which stand out on a white background - perhaps a touch of red?

We look forward to receiving your designs!

work on progress :)

Thanks,
Ayik

Font and colors update #402 #403 #404 #405

Thanks,
Ayik

Thanks - somehow the colours are not working as well as we hoped. It seems to take away from our industry - ie timber.

new color option #412 #413

Great thanks!

Can we try #420 with just the top half of the abstract mark - its getting close to other designs, but this is the look we are leaning towards at the moment.

Please let me know if there are any issues... perhaps you might need to add some unique aspect.

Thanks

Done #442 #443

Thanks

Hi

Currently we are wanting to go more simple still - can we remove the chimney from the triangle?

Also can we see how this looks next to the text rather than on top?

Thanks

uploaded 647 #648 #649

Thanks,
Ayik

HI thanks

It's important for us to have both words equally emphasized ie same size

Thanks

Thanks can we also see like #522 above text

Thanks

Hi can we also see some colour variations ie brighter bolder greens or orange... or your choice - all on white.

Thanks

thanks - can we try #661 #662 with the mark next to the text rather than on top.

thanks

uploaded #669 #670 #671 #672 #673 #674

Thank you,
Ayik

Hi thanks looking great!

One of our managers would like to see a few variations similar to #441 - so just the word mark without the abstract mark.

We are thinking to simplify further.

We would appreciate a few different ideas to test the concept in the first instance. Feel free to use various colour ranges.

Basically we would like to see the name in our preferred bold font, with both words the same size.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the updates... heading in the right direction... we are looking for something simple, clean, bold and striking... does this help?

sorry i was withdrawn my last entries because other used these concept.
i'll be back with new idea.

Thanks,
Ayik

Thanks for the updates - hope you don't mind my directness but not quite what we are looking for.

Perhaps consider variations in plain black text and varying fonts or some other very simple design.

There was a bit too much colour in the recent designs.

Thanks again!

As an idea you could potentially look at other timber or hardware brands to get some food for creativity... just a thought...?

Good morning hope you're well today.

Further to recent public comments we have the follow requests below.

At this stage we are liking #671 and #672 style the best. Can we make some further adjustments - increase the size of the text a little to make the name a bit more prominent. Can we also see in gold?

Also can we see the orange, green and gold on a black background.

At this stage we like the orange on white, and the gold on black, however the opposite (gold on white, and orange on black) doesn't work as well for us - on white the gold sits a bit flat, and on black the orange is a bit loud... Can you suggest a happy medium?

Thanks! =)

uploaded #733 >> #741

Thanks,
Ayik

Hi thanks for your updates.

You still have our number one design, however we moved logostudio temporarily to number as he has been having trouble to upload designs during the final 5 stage.

Regarding your designs is there some variation to #743 that you might create. Some of our people like the simplicity of the double peaks without a reference to specifically to housing. The two peaks represent two 'right angles' or 'set squares' which is a more general reference to building in general - as apposed to housing per se.

However we prefer something a bit more bold (such as you have achieved in the #733 style).

We will place you back in number one shortly.

Thanks again

Hi,

Thank you so far you are still interested in mine.
Btw ... Don't worry about the rank. I am not concerned with the rank, in this stage you can still make others in the top rank if you want a change in their design.
I know you may be difficulty in choosing, but you have to choose the best one. Good luck and Have a nice weekend :)

Best Regards,
Ayik

Sure thanks for letting me know.

At this stage we are just working with you and logostudio.

We look forward to receiving any further designs in line with our comments above.

Thanks again for your continued interest and effort.

Hi hope all is well.

Sorry we have been offline for a few days.

Can we please see #733 with the same cursive first letters as in #794, for each of the colours.

Can we also try the text slightly larger.

Thanks

Update #798 #799 #800 #801

For additional work I will send via your email.
I will get your email after you close the contest and you will also get my email from admin.
Also we can talk all you want via email.

Best Regards,
Ayik

Hi sure no problems - thanks for letting us know.

In that case can we make the following request only

a) Can we please see a couple of variations in font type and a few size options (using larger font) in the winning style

Please let me know if there are any issues.
Thanks again.

Fonts update #810 #811 #812 #813 #814 #815.
It would be better if you have an example of a font that you like :)

Thanks,
Ayik

Thanks for the updates.

Actually we didn't have a font in mind. At this stage we prefer the one you have used in #733, and just wanted to explore any variations in line with the same style.

I thought you may be able to recommend some alternatives, however the recent updates don't have the same simplicity and strikingness as #733. Is the font in #777 the same?

Do you believe there are any other fonts which are similar, and achieve the same effect?

Could we also see #733 with the font size a bit larger too - can we see a couple of options.

Thanks again.

update large font #816 #817
From family of fonts that I use, is the thickest.
Yes ... # 733 and # 777 are the same font.

Thank you looks good.

Can we try #816 with even bigger font?

Regards

font and logo graphic with the same height #818 #819.

Thank you,
Ayik

without line under the text #820

Thank you for the updates - I believe we are getting closer to the final design!

Design #816 is the closest so far. In your experience do you believe there are any enhancements that can be done to improve the current design? Anything we haven't considered already?

I like that the text is in line with the top of the image. Also the spacing between the text and the image feels best in #816. The text is simple, bold and easily readable.

Can we see what #816 looks like with slightly less bold text?

Please let us know your thoughts.
Thank you! :)

I've two entries with different font thickness, hope you like one over the others #821 #822
Actually I've not been able to capture what is in your mind, is it only font type that has not fit? So far you just ask me to make changes to the font only.

Regards,
Ayik

Thanks.

Apologies if we have been difficult to follow... It has been an evolving process for us too!

Basically we are after a logo which is simple, striking and bold. Apart from these guidelines we don't have a particular font or style in mind.

We prefer #821, I'm not exactly sure the difference with #816, however it seems a little clearer somehow.

Do you believe #821 is the best look and feel we can achieve based on the current design?

Regards
Scott

Dear Scott,

I think #821 is the best look than #816.
Actually, #816 and #821 use the same font but different thickness. #821 is slightly thinner.
I just made ​​a little space between letters in #821, with the intention to match the text in #816.

Thanks,
Ayik

Hi Ayik

I am currently in the process of seeking final confirmation from our management. I will aim to have everything finalised by tomorrow.

Regards
Scott

Hi Ayik

Apologies for the delay we have been offline for a couple of days.
We are very happy with the final design at #821.
We will finalise the Logotournament process now and continue our dialogue via email.

Thanks again for your patience and hard work during this design process.
Best regards
Scott
