Hi CoolRed. Thanks so much for your submission! A couple of thoughts...is there a way that you could use dark green in the type font instead of the black/grey? Also, a lot of our members are very picky that the dog look distictly like a golden retriever. This cute pup looks yellow labby. Any chance you could put more golden "feathering on the dog?
I will try to dig up a good photo and post it so you might be able to reference it.
I like the logo today with the darker green color on the font. My fear is that my Executive committee will think it is too close of a knock off from the logo we can't use but I will find out what they think!
I think we're getting closer...especially since this is not a close knock off of the logo we cant use. I am wondering (but I dont know how to do it) if we can do a full body golden with the words (we like the font and colors). I am not sure but I think the dog should be above the words. Let me look for some images of golden retriever full body profiles on the Web and upload them. Still like the dog being solid gold...no need for a lot of details as long as the profile and feathering are there.
Let me see what I can find tonight or tomorrow moring. Thanks so much for all your work!
I just Googled Golden Retriever profile and I can't download the image but the first image on the left is of an embroidered golden full body profile. It's a classic stance for a golden. If you could somehow create an image of that with the words below it that might work.
And...I should ask, as a designer, do you think that works?
hi, honestly i already tried that layout while doing my proposal designs but it's kinda look separated because of the orientation of the layout but i believe everything is workable :) i'll try to do that so you can avisualize it better. Thank you so much for immediate comments and participation.
i think i found the embroidered golden retriever you were referring to and i think this is going to work :) i'll send the design asap. Thanks and have a great day!
I think I can show this to my exec committee. Thanks so much! I have a question though...how would you design this for a black and white application...like for letterhead, business cards etc. Would the dog and the fonts all be solid black (a little boring) or could we use black white and grey?
Congratulations! We are going to select you as our winner but my exec committee wants to make a couple of modifications.
1) Can you make the fonts more equal in size so the Neuse River is not dominant? 2) Can you add a little white paw print inside the top of the "I" in River? (You dont have to do that on line but perhaps when you send the files...same with the above request) 3) When you complete the files can you do color and black and white...and could you also send a jpeg, as well, as my full Board of Directors has to vote on the logo this week and I will need a jpeb for the proposal in addition to the vector (Illustrator/eps) format? I dont work off a Mac so I can't convert the files to a jpeg.
I will wait to hear back from you before I close the contest. Hope you are having a great weekend.
Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for selecting me as your winner! I will do any modifications even the contest is over until we perfected it as needed. I'll be sending very soon the modifications you requested. I'll send also the complete set of files you need. I'll be here if you need any conversion for any type of file. It's been a pleasure working with you. More power and God Bless!
