Another element I like is the idea of the font on a surfboard. I also like your little white surfboard.
I like the font of #36 better than #37, but I like the layout that follows the bottom of the board in #37
And while I really like the balloon-y surf shack and all the wonderful details you created, its not quite the mood I am looking for. For this project, I am looking for something a little less cartoonish, maybe less detail (except in that gorgeous wave). While I do want this logo to be welcoming, it is for an art gallery so I have to have a touch of sophistication (just a touch...)
Thank you so much for your lovely submissions and for giving me a hollow barrel to daydream about!
I really appreciate the feedback and I also want to thank you for really take your time and enjoy the details even if the concept is not what you need. I just to surf back in my days so I know the flow and feeling of the waves very well!
Oh, I do like the sky background here better. Much better than with the sun. However, now its a little too masculine. maybe some softening up. I actually liked the Lime-Avocado color of #36 better than this darker version. Is there a font and a green color that is between the cartoon like aspect of #36 and the straight line masculinity of #41 that would soften it some?
One other request. That wave is awesome. And the surf shack is supposed to be little. I think it would be cool to make the wave the feature (larger) with the surf shack a background thingie.
Nice that you have surfed...should have known what with that lovely wave.
Oh, I do like the concept from up above. Love the wave. The boards aren't working for me though. Maybe just throw the font right on top of the scene. Also wondering what it would be to ditch the surfer on the scene and to have a couple of boards leaning on the house instead. And to have just a peek of the front of a board in that barrel?
Also need to see a few other font choices....might have suggestions but need to run off to a meeting. will be back in an hour or so.
