We have been going through you portfolio and you are a talented designer. We love how you have styled your designs - they are perfectly crafted. Our only concern is that the glass looks like a funnel.
We want to create a feel of a great night out and don't want it to feel to unapproachable or too fancy. We want the focus to be on the people and how they feel and interact eg. Shoutouts, chats, laughing and meeting!
We were thinking that either we make a really cool icon that essentially will be the logo and complement it with a more simple Yobar text or stylise the wording as the logo. Also see our attachment and our comments.
Let us know if you have any questions. If you want to speak on Skype, we are available.
Thank you for all of your time and all of your fantastic designs. We greatly appreciate it.
We were about to enter the second phase of the contest but I have been advised from a design colleague of mine to ask the current contestants to explore a few other ideas and extend the contest for another 24 hours due to the weekend. It seems that virtually everyone has followed our original designs idea of the Cocktail Glass. However this has not given us a good the spread of creative ideas that were hoping for from the brief.
If you are open to it, we would greatly appreciate an option other than the cocktail glass. Ideally, we would like Black and White (not grey scale) design as we need this will give us the flexibility that we require when tweaking the design.
We really think you are in the best position to win this contest. We however are not totally happy with the other submissions.
My team is asking me to focus on coming up with a distinctive logo (i.e. YoBar in a font that looks distinctive) i.e. we really want a custom font / logo that is distinctive (without the icon). We are not sure how the contest works but would you be happy to assist us with an option that focusses on the font.
Thank you for feedback you gave, i'm glad to hear that news, and thank you for rank you gave. But apologize me, i can't submit during judging mode, only rank 1 can submit during judging mode. I hope you can give me a chance to submit the new entry.
#223 is looking interesting! That's the direction I would like to explore further. Do you think you can make it look a little bolder / stronger? What font is that?
While you have been designing, I have be going through other logos online. What do you think of http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/174989 - I think it is not strong enough but is is unique.
Yes, that is looking really good! Maybe we can make the stem of the "b" a tiny bit higher so it looks like a "b". Because it is bold it is looking a little tight, maybe try increase the horizontal letter spacing.
I am also seeing a separate idea of using the "oo" being a eyes or as speech bubbles. What do you think?
