some color variations along with a different design. Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it. Let me know if you'd like to see anything in particular with the colors. Happy Friday!
So we agree that we all like this logo #10 a lot - we are concerned about what it will look like on a letterhead. Because of the dark background, it would have to be used as a square to include the background and we are wondering how that will stand alone nicely for imaging? I love the color combination though.
We also really like the others a lot (#3 and then #12) but are wondering if it's too small and the words are not pronounced enough. What if you somehow differentiated the LIVE so it stands out? My partner also thinks the smiley face should be round and not have the 'tail' on it. I'm not so sure I agree.
Carrie, I will work on some variations. As you look for letterhead, don't forget that you can incorporate color in your letterhead to showcase the logo. You can design the stock with the color to bleed off the edges in a number of creative ways. Obviously that's a different project, but that door is always open!
That being said, I will work on some variations so you can see options with both marks. Thank you for the great feedback, and thank you for your consideration thus far! I'm glad you like what you see.
Bob, we do like #94 a lot, not necessarily better but we think it will showcase better. Once we choose our final logo and designer we can talk about designing print collateral. That is definitely something we will need to do.
My partner thinks the words "Live Out Loud" need to pop more. We like the font and the colors a lot but maybe needs to be bolder? I would also like to see a reverse with "LIVE" in a different color and OUT LOUD the same, with emphasis on LIVE.
#103, #104 - I made the text a bit more bold and tried to adjust the shadow and highlights to give the text a bit more pop... also, for #104 I adjusted the proportions of the cone and the text to make the text a bit larger. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
Bob, thanks so much for making the adjustments. After looking at the new revisions with the 'Live' in green, we all decided that we still like #94 best. You were right - the 'Loud" looks better in green. We would like to see that one with the bolder letters. And one of my partners would even like to see it with the Live in a third color (maybe red)...although the rest of us are not sure about that. I guess we won't know until we see it.
The other thing that is a sticking point for some people is the green ice cream. It is weird to some. I love it though. One of the things I love about this particular logo is that I can see the ice cream cone becoming a mascot, animated or the ice cream color changing regularly on our website. Chocolate chip one day, strawberry the next. (Like Google concept)
#117, #118, #119, #120 - trying a few different things with the colors and the ice cream. I believe you are right in the varieties of 'flavors' that are possible in this particular logo. If you want to see any other combinations, please let me know. Thank you again for the continued feedback!
let me know if there is anything you would like to see in the judging phase! i just want to say thank you for your consideration throughout the contest!
Bob, we are making our final decision today and congratulations #97 seems to be the crowd favorite for this particular business venture.
We think we would like the live out loud to be all the same font (like you originally had it). And we're wondering if the smiley face could have a little chuckle? What would it look like if a corner of his mouth were opened up a bit?
Looking forward to actually speaking with you soon.
#122, #123, #124 - slight variations on an opened mouth. let me know if everything else appears to be in order, or if you'd like to see any other changes. thanks Carrie!
and you will be pleased to know that we named the smiley face "Bob" - we want to see Bob jump out of the bubble and bounce, wink, drink wine, blow kisses, dance, etc. We want to see him where a New Years eve hat, etc. We can't wait to talk to you in person and talk about all of the exciting things we want to do with Bob! :)
Haha. I've never had a logo character named after me before. That's awesome!
I actually agree with you on #123. I think it's a happy middle ground for 'home base' as far as the character is concerned. If you are intending to have Bob make different faces from time to time, you can explore the other options as time goes by. That one seems the most balanced within the outlines of the mark.
oops, as I was going to confirm #123 as our choice I realized it is not the right one. #97 had the smiley face in a full circle instead of in the shape of the conversation bubble. Can you fix that before we finalize?
