Feedback welcome - I've used this shape to mimic your sign shape, but it can obviously go without a background too.

works great in one color too which is really useful for merchandise (shirts etc)

These are great! We'd love to see a version with a font that is slightly less feminine and curly! We'd also like to see a version with a different fish as we don't really serve much marlin in hawaii.

some ideas are ahi, opakapaka, ono, lobster, opa, mahi mahi,

we have a signature ahi special and a weekly lobster night if that helps.

Thanks for the feedback, do you imaging still keeping a script typeface or would you prefer something less curly altogether?

if it's not too much trouble it may be great to see both but as our original logo is script i'd say that's fine but just something a little less round?

More tomorrow if you have any more guidance, time for me to sign out for the night.

i'll have my team look over these and see which ones we like more. Can you try a fish that is a little more interesting looking and follows the curve of the waves a little more like the marlin had done but that's not a marlin? i think the fish is looking a little out of place now. keep em coming!

can you do a version that has the wave tree etc over the fish house removing "Merriman's" altogether?
were looking for a sign that can attach to our current sign and hang below it probably.


We'd like to see "fish house" bigger and in a version within the oval like #5 and then without like #14. I think we'd like to see it back with the marlin as we like the look of that more or perhaps you can make it a swordfish which should be pretty similar-we do sell swordfish!

thanks!

also, can we see a version with the waves a little less curly (instead of going around in circles 2.5 to 2 times maybe just curling once if that makes sense?

thanks!

we are really liking the newest options. Can you please reinsert the marlin (sorry) because we think that stands out the most. (this may change again!) we'd also like to see #23, #24, #22 in the gradated form like the originals as this helped the fish stand out more since the top 1/2 of the picture was a bit lighter than the bottom.

thanks!

wow. these are looking really good! i'm not sold on the fish however. i think after all that that i really like the look of the original marlin best. the one we've ranked number 1 is very close but i feel like the nose is a little pointy and out of place. i liked how on the original options (#6 and #7) it's pointing a little more down into the waves instead of right. this may be difficult as i know you've changed the waves a bit but if not, i'd love to see it. will show these to my team as soon as possible.

thanks!

also, can you do a version of #38 where the type is a little bigger, closer to #23.

please see the general comment i posted for the whole competition. I love your work but it seems we need something a little more specific. we'll use this for the sign and then on the menus as well. thanks

I'll get on to some revisions tomorrow - but for now I wanted to put forward a simplified version of the icon.

we love #47 but would like to see the palm trees and "fish house" just a bit BOLDER. we'd like to have the gradient colors in this one as well and then i think were good!

hi, thanks again for the feedback - here are a few variations ...

one showing the gradient, but can obviously be applied to any of the variations.
