There have been some great pieces already. Many designers have created some very powerful iterations of the "8" which I think are very much in line with the distinct, designed, funky feel we are looking to portray. To give some overall feedback, we are still looking for something a bit more distinct in the other text. We realize it cannot have the same designed quality as the 8, however, it just needs a touch more. Thanks again to all the designers who have contributed thus far.
Some fantastic new additions. We appreciate the tweaks designers have made based on feedback or personal improvements, as well as the injection of some new designers and their designs. We especially appreciate that some of the newer submissions have actually not simply looked at improving on the horizontal designs that dominated at first, put have also looked at more vertical layouts. Also, we appreciate that #24 has been looked at exploring a more "designed" approach to the text in addition to the 8. For those who are wondering what it is about #10 that really has us excited, it's the fact that the 8 not only has style, but it also shows depth (rather than a simple 2D design). Just food for thought. If any designers have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Enjoying the way this process is progressing, and are excited at what the next rounds will bring. Thanks very much to all again!
Great Designs! Thank you for some of the new additions that are exploring more interesting ways of presenting the 8 as more of an icon that a simple number. When we presented this concept here and articulated a stylized 8, that's actually what we were hoping for, so thank you. As mentioned, we're seeing some awesome work with regard to the 8, but are still looking for that something special in the text that surrounds it. We're not necessarily asking for a custom font here, but maybe some small adaptations to a font that would give it a more stylized, polished, and personal touch (even if that's simply removing the center line from the A in interactive etc).
Again a thank you to the new submitters and their designs. We're now seeing the creative extending to include font manipulation which was a detail we were really hoping for. There have been some very clever designs that have looked to the notion of an icon which is also has enticing implications. Even though the contest ends soon, we are seeing great designs that are making this selection process both exciting and difficult. Thank you for that difficulty.
