Is it possible for you to create also one more logo, which involves an image or vectoral design that is directly men-related? (it can be one of the men's accessories such as cufflinks or a man's/gentleman's silhouette or something else...)
We don't want to bother you with further requests but we also want to see some other designs as we find your style parallel to mengusto.com's.
In addition to our previous post, we would like to mention that our favourite fonts among your designs are #28 #29 #44 .
#43 is also very attractive. Our uncertainty about that design is if dividing men/gusto so directly and writing it in two lines makes it look like a fashion brand not a B2C company. Internet companies seems to have generally flat logos as it's written in the domain name.
We loved your last works with the gentlemen silhouettes. Can you add the reflection effect that you used in your lettermark logo design to your design #88, too? Of course if it also looks good to you, too...
We requested a modification but you don't need to do it now. There's not much time left for the open phase to end... You can do it in the second phase if we really need it.
We don't want to make you work so hard just at the beginning :)
Hi Mengusto Team, There is no problem if you ask me to modify my design. I am currently changing the design, as you requested and feel free to contact me at anytime for suggestions and advice.
You are in our top 3 designers at the end of first phase. In addition to that we can also say that you are the one who came closest to the messages we are trying to give through our logo. For example the "3 men silhouettes" creates a men's club image.
To sum up them again (before we choose "the winner") these messages are making the visitors of our website feel like they are members of a very exclusive men's club and this website is trustworthy for presenting high quality, style, true information, convenience to find what they need both with the products being sold here and the information being given.
Black-grey-white combinations gives the quality, exclusivity image. Dark blue (and some other tones of blue, too) gives a masculine message. We had the idea to mention some remarks like "free shipping", "new arrival" or "add to cart button" with orange. Therefore we requested the designers to use orange in some of their designs to make the page designs and the logo complete each other.
Some feedback about our favorites among your designs;
#90 , #92 : We liked the blue color effect in #92 . Can you use it on one of the men silhouettes and .com as now but not on mengusto (or just on a very small detail of the letter mark). We also want to see such an alternative. You can also try some other colors or tones. #85 , #86 : We liked your style of using ".com" in your design #86 . The problem about these two designs is that we can't use the silhouettes and the letter mark independent from each other. You can't put any effects on the letter mark because it would be too crowded if you do it. #94 , #107 , #109 : Using "single man silhouette" makes it look like a menswear company.
We also don't want to divide the word "mengusto" by using two different fonts. You can use bold and normal fonts or different tones but using totally different fonts ruin the completeness of the brand name.
Hi, I have carefully read your comments on the designs and soon I will send the new variations. I appreciate Your thorough advice and suggestions. We will be In touch.
Thanks for the new designs. Can you make the man silhouette in #175 on the left hand side a little bit darker as the one in #90 or as in #179 and can you also remove the line between the men and word mark as in #182?
Hi, Thank you again for your feedback. I made the changes in which you requested and have sent the files. I have also made a new silhouette version #183, and a completely new version #185. Let me know what you think of the new designs.
We really liked your design #184 Your new designs are cool and very creative but #184 is our favorite among all. Our only question about that design is if the silhouettes can be used on larger areas such as billboards or posters if needed? Do they become pixelated?
Hi, When a designer wins a contect, naturally they have to upload 2 files. One in the form of jpg and the other eps. If you try to enlarge a jpg file, with a low quality, yes there will be a problem with pixelation and with the legibility of the logo. The eps file however is a vector file, which means you are able to change the size with a graphic program, like Adobe Illustrator, to your liking. This type of file is also able to be enlarged to the dimentions of 6x3 metres with no problem. In the logo #184, the sillhouette i designed by hand and is also a vector file. You are able to modify the position and dimentions of the sillhouette, or also add other details, such as hands or shoes. If you want, i can design a billboard version for you and i can do the sillhouette with more details, as you like. I hope all of this is clear.
While we are coming to the end of the contest we would like to ask you for a last variation. Can you modify the design #184 with the colors of #90 and just make the dot on the letter "O" orange?
We loved it! We still want "com" be written above next to the dot. I think we explained it wrong in our previous feedbacks. The dot will be orange and "com" will be in the color that "mengusto" is written. (Design will be the same as #184)
#196 looks great! Actually at the beginning of this contest we were looking for a logo with lowercase letters. But we liked your reflection effect very much and it doesn't look the same with lowercase letters.
We liked the font very much, too. If it's possible can you use one more font for #196, which is similar to the one you have used already but thinner? Just to be sure about it...
Will we be able to change the tone of the orange color you used for the dot in your design when we get the design in eps format if we need it? Or should we tell you all our requests before we select the winning design?
Hi, Naturally an eps vectorial format you can make changes To the colour and other elements at any time. I can give my availiability to help in this matter and if you Like I can make any changes to the design As you require.
