Here are some variations I would like to see if you are up for it: 1) #38 as is, but without any petals outside the circle. Just the inner circle. 2) #32 with the sun from #38 and with the water redrawn in a similar style as your mountains from #38. 3) Same as above in 2) except without outer petals.
First of all, thank you for the revisions. There are a bunch of fairly minor tweaks that I would like to suggest that get at some broader themes. Feel free to make the specific changed and/or to use your own creative interpretation of how to address these issues.
In general, I am leaning toward a simpler design now that I am imagining using this in different places, which is why I wanted you to submit versions without petals. However, some flare is definitely lost without them. And some color. So I am wanting to try to capture some of that flare and additional color within the simpler, circular designs if possible.
A few ways I can think to do this follow:
1) Make the sun yellow in both #53 and #56. With the sun is yellow in #53, I would also be curious to see a version of it with a blue sky. 2) I think there is a little bit too much empty green at the bottom of #53. Maybe water could be added back in here? 3) For #56, I like the new water better than before, but want more texture. Maybe you can add some waves? Possibly even using the same shading effect you use for the mountains in #53?
For now that's it. Looking back, I still do like the versions with petals but want to explore the non-petal versions right now.
Some quick feedback: I like the hills from #53 the beat still, but want to see it with a shadow at the bottom as in #90. And I like the color of the sun and sky from #94, but want to see it done the size of the sun from #53.
Thanks again! For some reason the entries with the blue background look like they have a bigger sun than #104. Is that correct or does it just look different because of the blue? Also, would like to see a lighter shade of blue for the sky.
Yes that might be the case as the original file was at home and I had to do them from scratch. I will take care of that and your coloring request once I get home tonight. I am on the way now. Thanks. Regards, Mustafa
I have realized through this contest that I actually want two different designs, one complex and one clean and simple. I have started a second contest for this clean, simple logo, which I hope you will consider joining.
Pretty sure I am going to go with a different design. I would love to see you take the inspiration and feel from the sun design and channel it into a new, more streamlined design in the other contest.
