Merrill Smiles DentalLogo Design Contest

Hi,
Sorry, I just opened your message. because I just woke up.
after I see your message I will send new design/other idea but in selection stage only first place can send new design. Thank You

There isn't much time left in the contest, but we still like your design as one of our top 10 or so. If you have any variations on this design (color, font, etc.) we'd appreciate seeing them before the contest is over. Thanks so much for your work!

Thank you for your work in this logo tournament. If you're receiving this message, you are a finalist in our estimation. This is probably not the way most clients run their logo tournaments, but the nature of our business doesn't allow for ample or regular communication among stakeholders. For that reason, please consider yourself still in the running for the prize. As marketing director of our company, I still need to share most of these concepts with our key stakeholders, get their input, and then run that information past the owner of the company (who will make the final determination after discussing with me). Please also understand that the Christmas/holiday season makes it all the more difficult to get feedback promptly, so we will likely take this tournament right up until the final day...or hours. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we might be temporarily moving you for some final tweaks. All of your work has been appreciated!

If this bluejay could be more integrated into the name, that would be ideal.

Thanks for your designs! I have some feedback to provide before the end of the blind phase. I've just spoken with the company owner about the designs that have come in so far. Some of you will be moving position as a result. But I want to implore you to please keep your designs in the contest, as I'll be getting more feedback over the next couple days. A few things the owner is commenting on that I'd like to emphasize before blind phase ends: (1) He is very much set on a blue and grey color scheme. He's not interested in greens anymore. (2) He is not interested in plant images, so no more logos with stems, shoots, trees, or fields, etc. (3) He does like the idea of trying to incorporate a bluejay (city mascot) into the design, though he's not demanding it and likes many designs without them. (4) He has said he does not want a logo with a cursive or handwritten-looking font. (5) He does not want a design with abbreviations or initials of the name. I hope this is helpful to you, and again, I appreciate your design work!

I like the font for Merrill Smiles, but I'm not a fan of the "Dental" font.

Not a fan of the way "Dental" Looks in this one...or the crooked smile.

Nice work on this.

Ok, thanks for giving me the opportunity to enter this contest. I will not give up to give the best for you. Once again, thank you
don't hesitate to contact me. I am ready to provide improvements to the design that I have sent to you.

regards
Delisha

I wanted to pass along right now in the blind phase that -- regardless of where your designs currently stand in the ranking -- you are not out of consideration for our top design. I run this tournament on behalf of our owner who only has the chance to give feedback periodically. So until I hear from him and other stakeholders, your ranking means very little. All this to say, please do not withdraw any designs (unless I've pointed out a glaring problem), and please do not assume you're out of (or in) the running based on your current position. Thanks for all your work, and I'll try to provide as much helpful feedback as I can going forward.

I like this, but I worry about the legibility of the font. Perhaps something with a heavier font?

I like the feel of this design. I think that "Dental" should maybe be in all capital letters and not italic.

I like this better!

Like the concept, but the owner doesn't want any tooth shapes or images, just smiles.

I like the classy feel to this logo.

The eyes in the "M" feel a little too playful/juvenile. This would be great for a pediatric dental office, but we definitely want our logo to feel more mature/sophisticated.

Interesting take. I don't think that the "S" and "L" having two tones and not the "M" is working great though.

Still feels a bit too busy. Like we've got three different design ideas that are all competing against one another.

This one has nice balance and captures a great feeling.

This isn't quite the feeling we're going for. I think the reflective look of the abstract image is off.

This tree is probably not going to translate well to small printed or embroidered items. The detail is going to have to be scaled back.

This one just has too much going on, I think. One smile and one natural element should be enough.

Please check

Not a fan of this font.

Like the abstract logo element. The colors are very much the palette we're looking for.

Please check

This is a strong design. Feels like it needs something else to be more engaging.

Not a huge fan of the font on the name. The natural element is a nice touch.

Like the clean look, but I think it needs something to draw a little more interest. Very solid, though.

Nice clean design. Hoping for some other creative incorporation of either natural elements or the smile into the name.
