You have a lot of talent and we really like the font and simplicity that you are using. Looking through your portfolio there are many themes that we'd like to see thrown towards the LongTail design. Possibly a rich background color like with "Olga Baczara" or "London Minibus" or "Woodstone" or "Kinesthesis". If you could do variations on the color scheme of the font, as well as the background color, and maybe throw a few hand drawn logos in as well you'd definitely be in our top rankings.
Another idea is to have ideas above along with your font idea, and then have a subsequent phrase such as "projects" or "grants" below and to the right of the main logo lettering. This phrase could be smaller and bolder and straight forward in its font. and perhaps a contrasting color. Like a bold red or brown.
We don't have much time left, but the more you can throw our way I think we could really work with you.
We really love your work. Can we see the #168 design but with the tail of the "o" going under the "g" instead of through it? Maybe even extend the tail under the "grants" part of it for a little bit.
Can we also see #223 with the "Tail" word closer to the "Long" part. Less spacing between the two of them? Also #223 without anything written under it? We want to compare. Thanks!
Just noticed the "turn at the end" - very creative. Feel free to keep experimenting even though there is limited time left, we obviously are a big fan of your work and feel that this logo really captures what we are looking for. Will you be available throughout the next 10 hours to receive feedback - if not let us know what time frame we are working in regarding your availability. Thank you for all your hard work!
