Hi,
here is my submission #78
Bottom part of the beer's foot represents a leaf.
Colors can be adjusted easily.
If you have any suggestion, I would be happy to hear.

Thanks,
Aleksandra

I really like it. I am concerned about the read-ability of the font. The proportions between the Ketchikan and Bare seem right but I would like it to be bolder. Can we try some other fonts? I also like the little dots between B-A-R-E so that it is spaced out a little. Maybe red or turquoise dots?

Here is my new variation #81
Can you please tell is your idea to put dots between the letters or from designer bayudesign?
If is yours than I am free to use it, if not then I have to wait bayudesign to be online and to ask him....
Thanks for understanding,
Aleksandra

I actually like the funky font you used in the first one-- it just feels a little slight. Is there a bold version?
11 years ago
 
Just for the BARE part. With the font I don't think we need any dots. maybe just adjust the spacing so that it pops!

I really like 85. Can you increase the BARE size just slightly? (maybe 10% larger?)

Both fonts that I used for the word "bare" are hand drawn and uniquely created for your contest.

Hi There. I think your designs are my favorite but I do have some requests/feedback. I promise, I am getting very close to a decision!

In general, when I scroll through all the designs, I think the circle one of 87 is the closest. I like the font best.

Some thoughts:

Can we use the turquoise dot in the A. I think it brings the color into the text in a good way.
The one consistent piece of feedback is that it looks more like a crown than a paw. I like it but am wondering if we can make the circle at the bottom just slightly more paw like. I may not end up liking it but would like to give it a shot.

The turquoise used is a little more green than I would like. Could we try a bit more blue. (not a dramatic change-- just a subtle one).

In addition to the paw adjustment, I am wondering if we can thicken the lines slightly. The design is very light but I am worried about it getting washed out.

If we went with your design would you be willing to provide the solid form one as well in the transfer? (#90) I like the two used in combination and think it would give the brand more extension. I would like to see the texture removed however.

I also like # 90 and but would like the font with the turquoise dot used from #85

Thanks!

Thank you for the helpful feedback!
Here are two new variations with requested changes #105 #106
I will provide you both entries, since they are just variations of one same design.
Let me know if there is any other change or variation that you would like to see.

Thanks!
Can we darken the blue on 105 and 106-- it's still a little green/bright. Also wondering if the dot in the A can be larger (I want to emphasize the color and draw the eye)

Like this #107 #108 ?
Btw, this site is very useful for colors https://kuler.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/
If you find some shades of red and turquoise that you like the most, just paste CMYK value here, and
I will apply it.
Thanks! :)

Great! Would you mind darkening 87 as well-- old paw but with thicker lines. I want to show apples to apples to see which paw they like the best in our next round of feedback. Thanks also for being so responsive.

I need to mess with that Kulur tool-- but how neat!

Hi Bordo, Here are some colors that I think might work:
#236B8E
#00A2C2

Thanks.

Logo Designer
Thanks!
Here are two variations:

#124 (#00A2C2) and
#125 (#236B8E)
11 years ago
 
124 is the right blue green mix but it's alittle too bright. Do you have an easy way to darken it about 10% to make it a little more jewel toned?

Sure! Here it is #126

I am getting very close-- and I really appreciate your flexibility. I know I am being very specific with my requests but we are also running a market research feedback session at the same time. You have been great to work with and I really like where the design has gone.

126 color looks great. Wondering if we can see the filled in version as well.

Can you move the name of the product down a "smidge" from the icon so there is more visual rest between the two? WE are getting feedback that the design is a little heavy (which is direction I gave you I know) but I am wondering if we separate them a bit that will correct the issue.

Thanks! Dana

update #129

If you want that I try with some thinner lines, don't hesitate to ask.
11 years ago
 
It's so subtle at this point but if you don't mind trying a compromise between the initial weight and the latest that would be great. The good news-- the colors look great!

Thanks Aleksandra!

Here is middle solution #130

I really understand how much is important to find the right "shade" of a future logo, so please, don't feel uncomfortable if something else needs to be changed.

Sincerely,
Aleksandra

130 looks great. Can I also see it in the full color version (turquoise middle and red circle) I'd like to use both for different formats.

I am going to send it out for feedback but I think we are there!

Good morning Dana,
I am sorry for delay. I couldn't reply earlier due the time difference.
Here is new variation #133
Thanks for understanding,
Aleksandra

130 and 133 it is! Can you tell me the HEXX numbers so that I have them for reference when I do web design? Also, I would love to stay in touch in case I have any other graphic designs down the road. You have awesome communication and customer service. Thanks!
