New England Backgammon ClubLogo Design Contest

I also prefer the more open concept, feels cleaner

Thanks -- I think I still do like this more 'open' concept than the boxed-in ones, but it's nice to see them.

And a variation of the previous one, but separating out the NEBC part.

Just experimenting with containing everything with an outer rule.

And here is a version with the club name more spaced out!

Just about to upload a few options ;)

Thanks -- I'm pretty sure this will give us enough to select a winner.

Hi there.

I hear what your sister is saying, but I think because we have the line under the name, it holds it together ie sub consciously the name is within the board.

No problem, will space out the club name a bit.

Cheers

This iss fine-tuning again, but does the top element seem to be 'floating' above the NEBC a bit, and could the full club name benefit from a little more breathing room (is it looking a little squished?)? maybe play with spacing a bit.

Oh thanks -- this looks nice!

And here is an alternative of this one where I've made the triangles alternate in colour from green to blue

And here is this one with the new font and checkers firmed up!

No problem at all, coming right up!

Could you deliver a version of this 7-point version either the new text font and with the checkers firmed up? Worth a second look!

My pleasure!

Thanks -- I think both these solutions are improvements on the original! The chopped-off points don't work.

And here all aligned, kept rounded but changed the font - similar feel to the other one but with rounded edges.

Same as the previous one ie all aligned but I've squared off the triangles as well.

And here is one where all elements are aligned on the sides, frame edges are now straight but the triangles are still rounded!

thanks!

And here is one in greyscale - all using only 1 colour black, but shades of it.

And here is one where its 100% black throughout.

No problem, coming up!

Could you send a b/w version?

Excellent! Hope the committee like it as well!

Hey, this looks good!

And here is another iteration, also checkers firmed up, but made bigger as well as the triangles made slightly wider.

Cheers

Oh, no, glad you asked. -- not the gaps between the points, the gaps between the *checkers*. When checkers are placed on the board during play, they are in stacks, with the edges touching, not with gaps between them. You may find in making this change that it makes sense to change the triangle proportions as well, so use your best designer's judgement as to how to make it look best with that requirement. I anticipate that having the white discs touching is going to make for too much unbroken whitespace, but I think my colleagues will need to see this for themselves. Does that make sense?

Hi there. No problem but to just to clarify to make sure I do it right, I’m going to close the gap between the triangles but at the top ie the widest part?

I’ll do this first thing in the morning (I’m based in the UK and have stopped for the evening).

Have a great rest of your Friday.

Hi Angus -- passed this by to my colleagues and they had the same question about the checkers not being "firmed up" at the top of each point rather than having gaps between them. Could I trouble you for a version like that? It's the only way to confirm that it's better as-is (which I suspect).

My pleasure!

Thanks - much better!

And a larger version of this entry as well!

And here is a larger version of this entry!

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback on all my entries!

No problem at all completely understand on the ranking front.

Will upload a larger square one in a moment.

Cheers
Angus

I there. To be honest I also prefer this one, as its easier on the eye and slightly less busy.

With regards to the spacing - no problem at all, let me make them bigger and resubmit for you.

Note -- the size of this design looks fine in the logo gallery -- it's just your square ones that look smaller.

Say -- one more comment -- When I look at all the logos in the contest page, this one (and the 6-point variation) appear substantially smaller than the others -- you have a large white apron around the design. As a result, I don't think you get equal visual impact compared to neighboring designs. Could you submit somewhat larger versions?

By the way, both your designs are in my 'Top 5' of designs, but for now at least I want to keep 5 different designers in the top 5. Nice work!

Terrific. I think this is 'good to go' for Phase 1. Thanks for these thoughtful revisions.

While the 6-point version of this logo is more "real looking," I think this one is more visually appealing -- maybe because your brain has fewer details to process. I'm glad to have both options to share with my colleagues.

My pleasure!

Thanks -- this is a nice version!

And an iteration of this one - changing the checkers, adding a sheen to it and also an edge/rim.

And here is another iteration, but this time spacing the checkers out ever so slightly, giving things a bit of breathing space.

Here is a revised version of this one, with the positions of 321202.

Hi there! No problem at all, will amend the numbering on the checkers.

Ah! Adding room for a third checker does make this a little more "accurate" looking, though I miss a little of the "airy" look of the original. Could we try 321202 on the checkers?

Big improvement win the checker arrangement! Can we try 02210 on top and 00120 on bottom? I don't think the 3D effect on the circumference is quite what we want -- Let's stick with viewing the 'checker' dead-on. Could anything be done with the outer ring to suggest more of an edge or rim?

Closing the gap between the checkers a bit!

There's not really a word for it, but I suppose the one thing that I'd say it that its an "all encompassing logo" ie it combines an icon with or within the wording great one element. Hope that helps?

Great. By the way, can you tell me the general name for this style? I can't quite place the word -- not really Nouveau , Deco, Arts & Crafts . . . what's the word?

This is a nice circular design, which can suggest a backgammon checker. Is there is a way to convey this suggestion more strongly without resorting to cheesy '3-D' effects? The symmetry of the two checkers on the field seems maybe a little peculiar -- they seem a little "lonely."

Hi there!

Glad you're have a great experience with the process, that's how it should be :)

Thanks for the great feedback and ranking, very much appreciated.

I can definitely experiment with making the checkers closer - can't hurt to see what it does to the overall look and feel.

Cheers
Angus

Handsome, but perhaps gives too much of a nautical impression. With the anchor present, the circle suggests a life-preserver!

Hi! I'm having great fun with this process! I find all three of your designs immediately appealing, but this one in particular is a favorite. I hesitate to say anything because it is so well balanced as it is. At first glance I wanted the checkers to be compacted, without spaces between as they would be on a board, but then we would lose the little bits of green that are so appealing. I like this a lot as it is!

Hi there,

Welcome to Logotournament - I hope this finds you well and having a good week so far?

Here are some of my concepts. I've created concepts that are simple, yet striking and unique! The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed.

It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say.
I look forward to your comments or thoughts.

Regards,
Angus
