We like the sprouting ampersand concept of 27 and 28 a lot! The font isn't us and the leaf/petal graphic would need to be refined and flow a little better out of the ampersand, but we're hoping to see more!
Haha, I was already working on using the oxalis or shamrock plant coming out of the ampersand. I will continue working on my design. Thank you for your feedback!
We really like #344 and #420. They flow very well out of the ampersand and we like the rest of the font as well, but I'm wondering if there might be some other ampersands we could plug in while leaving everything else the same.
We're still going back and forth internally on which ampersand concept we like. Some like 344, some 514, some 523. What we do agree on is that the ampersand needs to be larger than the lettering of the "Leaf" and "Petal" in all three concepts. We don't want the floral mark to seem top heavy. Your concept is definitely a very strong finalist (top two)!
#545 & #546 are updated designs of the 1st ranked (#514) I've made the ampersand slightly larger and dropped the flower graphic down so that it is not as 'top heavy'
I like the spacing of the oxalis and the letters in 420. Could we see a version of 420 spelled out? Also, could you keep it all capitals but make the L and the P larger than the other letters? I'd like to see a version using lowercase and uppercase too. Additionally, could you make the base of the bud a bit less bulbous and square off the tip a bit? It needs to look more like and oxalis bud than a rose bud. Thanks for your hard work!
Good Morning, I will continue to work on my design/designs until they are exactly as you envision. I will be away from my design desk this morning, but will check in and be ready to work on revisions as soon as I return. Thank you again for your consideration. By the way, I live in Georgia, just a hour or so away from Birmingham!
Thanks for the color options! The kerning is certainly something to think about. Would it be possible, I know this is last minute, to rotate the clover leaf up a little on the left and bring the bloom and bud down on the right? We like where you have taken all of this.
Absolutely! I will work on the design to make those changes and resubmit another one as soon as possible, drawing organic shapes such as leafs, flowers, etc. are my absolute favorite.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and many submissions and congratulations on the logo tournament win. Will you email directly at jamiepursell@gmail.com so we can communicate more directly. Especially with you being so close, we'd like to tweak the logo to final specs and possibly work directly with you on other forms and applications. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Jamie
Thank you for choosing my design! I will upload the proofs here for you to approve and then email you directly to make changes/etc. to the design to get everything perfect!
