Magnum SurgeLogo Design Contest

Hi, e-mail sent!

Awesome! You can reach me at allen@ripplegroup.com. Thanks!

Thanks! It's been my pleasure.

I'll send you the PSD on e-mail, the website only lets us upload an EPS and a JPEG. Let me know the email address where i should send the PSD.

Congrats! This is my winner! Thanks so much for all of the effort! Also, when you upload the files, would you mind also providing PSD in addition to any other formats (ai, ps, etc) you provide?

Sure, done. See #185.

For what it's worth, i also think it looks better without the line. The cleaner, the better.

Let me know if you need anything else.

I like it better without the line I think. One more very slight adjustment...with the line gone, see how the company name is a tiny bit higher? Or rather, the distance between the "GE" in SURGE to the dark gray above it and below it is different. Can you adjust to make it closer to the same?

Done. See design #184 and let me know if you need anything else.

Ok...this came out very well. I like seeing more of the buffalo. Can you post one without the line under the name? Just so I can see the difference?

Done. See design #183. I hope i understood everything. Let me know if you want to see any other changes!

I know time is almost out...I have one last request. Its down between you and one other.

Can you do a very lightly underline under the company name (gray) and at the top above the buffalo slightly slant the top left of diamond shape further back (to the left) to allow for just a little more of the buffalo to show. Does that make sense?

Ok. Thanks for explaining. I submitted earlier the color variations you asked for. Let me know if you want to see more.

Pretty much with everyone I have asked to see their submissions on one line, two lines, etc. and with different colors. Its been a wide rang of submissions, which has been great...its allowed me to start to make some decisions on color and layout preferences.

I'm just curious, did you ask other designers to use the same layout and colors as i did? I mean the two words on the same level, icon on the right, orange 'magnum'?

I'm glad you like it! See designs from #157 to #164 for color variations. Let me know if you want to see gradients, although i don't recommend it, because it will be hard to use and expensive.

Ok...this one is my favorite that you have submitted. Just for the sake of seeing color variations, can you submit ones like this with Red & Blue? Maybe even show some using a lighter gray where you have orange, and then use the blue or red where you have the darker gray/carbon-ish color?

Thanks for the feedback. See designs #135, #136, #137 and #138. Tried some font and layout variations.

Thank you for this one! There is something about it that I really love. But at the same time, I feel like its close, but not really what I want. But it so close, its hard for me to even find a way to give useful feedback. Let me try...I like the buffalo. No change there. I like the use of 2 colors in the illustration and the company name. The font used in the name is "ok"...I kind of like it, but I kind of am indifferent. And the ratio of the illustration and the name...its ok. Maybe try some variations?

Thanks for the feedback! See designs #85, #86 and #87 in regards to your comments here. Let me know if you need anything else.

I love the buffalo idea! Can you try with a different style of logo instead of merging with the other style you did? I think your original style is solid...just want to see something different with the buffalo! It's smart...love it!

Included an animal (buffalo) as you requested in the public comment.

Great! Let me know if you need anything else!

This one is really sharp! I love it!

Hi, thanks for the feedback. See designs from #63, #64, #65, #66, #67, #68 and #69 and let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for your initial submissions! I really like this one the more I look at it. I would love to see some variations with how you write the name of the company using the same MS illustration!
