I'm liking the green and grey combo, but I find Entry 3 hard to read - too on top of itself. And for some reason makes me think of a charity for kids. Entry 4 and 5 are more along the right lines, but again too squashed and I'm just not keen on the font (feels childish).

Entry 19 and 20 - for entry 19 can you play around with the font of entry 20 and maybe a couple of other fonts with more personality. Is there a way to make the disc look less little a bottle top?

Client
also can we maybe look at emphasising 'kind'

Hiya

Thanks for your submissions. Yours is the closest in terms of feel for us - However, so far no one has really cracked pulling through the idea of 'kindness'/'kind things'. I've sought out a few more logos that we love the feel of and so maybe you'd be keen to keep at it a little longer with these as some inspiration. We are liking the more gritty feel of some you'll find in the links below.

We also have four potential pay-off lines we are deciding upon to use with the brand name and they are:

Better things to do with your time
Live more meaningfully
Time well spent
It's all good

71 preferred of the three new ones uploaded - not digging that new font. Can you look to apply a more grainy feel to 71?
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
yes...currently working on it as well as other different variations
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
some of the entries that I am going to upload will not have the same colors or effects but I can adjust these if you like the overall look of some of the new ones..

Client
Hiya,

We really love the colour and consistent grain used in logo 75 by Danez - can you look to apply to your entries 81 and 71
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
.only the 1st ranked can upload during judging mode .......I was still working on the required more grainy version of 71 and I just noticed that we are already in judging mode and I am not ranked 1st any more....
11 years ago
 
Client
Ya - I just saw that - I don't know if I am allowed to still consider you (ethically wise) :( - the time ran out.
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
.....in other words I have to be ranked first to be able to upload.....

I dont take it personally but I must admit that you got me confused ....
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
its actually normal practice to switch rankings in judging mode in order to allow more revisions....

I can gurarantee that it has been done a lot and its not a problem...

11 years ago
 
Client
Well okay then. Its essentially between yourself and bc branding. You can email me your last reverts to nicole@submarine.co.za
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
no I cant and I won't....external communication is not allowed..

all you need to do is switch rankings temporarily ....
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
speaking of ethics ...

I have entered this contest early with different designs , developed the color scheme that almost everyone just copied and even my layouts have been a guidline for many entries throughout the contest and even your current top choice is more or less based on my work...
I have put an enormous amount of work/time in this project which can be seen in the quality of my latest designs....

you can switch the rankings temporarily so I can upload what I have already done (grainy 71)
and I can make a grainy version of #81 but of cource only if you are seriously considering going with my design...

one of the the best things you could possibly do is ask a competent design professional about his opinion on your top choice of designs in the project... or even let the people in your company vote...

in most cases... a good logo is not a matter of taste

Best regards

note: think about the symbols in your logo,what do they represent ,what is their meaning and how they are relevant..(or not relevant)

Client
Hi

Switched so you can upload your latest designs. The team here is also voting. We have a third loving the 'M' idea of bc branding, a third like your latest designs (and also an appreciation that you've been there from the start)....a few are concerned that the thumb just reminds them of FB Like and we actually have a third loving the colour, simplicity and font of entry 75 by Danez. The one girl here is a logo designer and started the project, but then got tick bite fever....

That is honestly where we are at.

Client
And I know you've been there from the start, but I can't make it personal - in the end if the team end up voting on the idea of the 'M' then...
11 years ago
 
Client
Right - so we played around with the logos on our site, and yours actually works best - so that's what we are going with. Please still send your revisions as I'd like to see it with the colour/graininess as previously requested. Can you also just have a look at the 'thumb'...if you move back it looks like giving someone the middle finger....then please also take away the dashes either side of 'My'. A few more minor tweaks, but I think we are almost there with you. Thanks again
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Thanks for the information,that explains a lot and makes sense...I am very happy to know that you had your team to vote instead of making it a 1 person decision.

I will work on the graininess of #81 and I will adjust the shape/design of the 'thumb'...
11 years ago
 
Client
Also please do us one in the colour of entry 75 - just for interest sake - although the black and white probably will look best
11 years ago
 
Client
And only work with your entry 81 as that is the best of the ones you last sent

#83
1. grain-effect added..
2. separated the fingers of the hand and added a part of a sleeve/hand which makes it more asymetrical and avoids the possibility of being mistaken with a middle finger...

Okay - cool - please can you do 81...all elements in the inner white circle black currently make white (so the copy, thumbs up. Make white inner circle same colour used in design 75. Also the very outer petal-like circle in the green of 75. So literally just working in white and the emerald. And maintain grain texture on the emerald components.

Like the changes to the hand/thumb

I like the warmer feel of #88

Client
84-86 just too dark - maybe look at making what is black on those white instead
11 years ago
 
Client
Small thing...but I think it should be 'It's all good' as opposed to 'Its all good' - I will double check (apostrophe being the contention)
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
maybe something like #89 (apostrophe added)
