Here is my initial proposal for the new brand of New York Apple. I wanted to create a strong round emblem, as that will work great on virtually everything from large signage down to employee shirts.
#68: A classic, custom script, complete with the NY skyline and a red candied apple. #69: same overall design, except I changed up the script for a different, more modern look. #70: shows what kind of cool vintage look you could give the design for shirts or whatever else.
I look forward to hearing what you think. I am pumped to see where this design can go :) Thanks!
I know I am biased, but I think we have a winner! ;) Entry #132!
I made it more obvious that the dipped portion was both a skyline and the dip, and I added a much more 'New York' feeling font to pair with the modern, custom script.
Please let me know if you want any revisions done. I will be happy to do so. Thanks!
I had to withdraw my last idea, because a previous designer had first and I did not realize that. They decided to let someone use their concept instead of me, so please disregard all of my comments above about my new idea. Oh, well. Moving on to bigger and better things :)
Here are some revised entries of my top-ranked design: #178, #179, #180, #181
I think you will find these give a much better visual balance to the entire logo.
Sure thing, James. I will get some revisions started soon and posted later today. Thanks for the clarifications; I am confident we can nail this down now.
