We really like the logo however it is similar to another company in our same town so I'm afraid we cannot go with it. You are a very talented designer and we would welcome more contributions from you if you wish.
We're again concerned with the similarity to another local business with design #123, however, we like the idea and coloring. Possibly a different font of "n". Also, 3 new photos were uploaded for reference to a possible color palette.
Dear Ysonmez: you are so talented! Could you please combine the font in #125 with the multicolored house image used in #123? thanks, Frank Levy (President)
There was some confusion on our side about the guidelines for the contest, but we are in the judging phase and you are ranked first! I have several teammates who strongly prefer #233, with the motto forming a ring around the logo. My own preference is #236. A few thoughts:
1) I find #236 to be the most beautiful logo design overall. My only reservation is that it does not provide any link to the past at all -- the font is totally different, as are the colors. Yet I really like the font you used for the words "Newbury Living." I'm pretty sure it is a third-party font (because I have seen or or two places elsewhere), nevertheless, it is possible for you to modify the "N" in Newbury slightly, to give the bottom left end of the N a somewhat longer and more upward-turning serif?
2) Two of my teammates are concerned that the risk of changing the name of our firm from "Newbury Management Company" to "Newbury Living" is that people might confuse us for a magazine. This is why they like the incorporation of the motto in #233. For me, however, it is too busy and wordy. The circle of words detracts from the simple beauty of your "N in a house" design. Can you come up with a few other ways to show the motto with logo #236? It may be as easy as using the same font as "Newbury Living" but unbolded and/or italics to write the motto below. We will not use this motto in all cases. For example, on the side of a building. Just in limited cases such as the footer of an email. (On a baseball cap, I envision your main logo #236 in the front, and the motto either on the side of the hat or the strap on the back.)
3) After the contest is over, are we permitted to contract directly with you to develop variations on this logo for various other purposes? For example, clothing design, or specific signage?
Thank you for those additions. I believe my serif idea was a bad one. Let's go back to the "Newbury" without the extra flourish on the "N", as in #236, plus the motto as you have done in #248. I think that is a likely winner. Plus could you also try a concept where you take the logo from #236, and then a vertical separator line, and then the motto as in #248 off to the right? (Doubt this will be good, but just to rule it out.) Thanks, Frank
About working on other purposes: Of course, I would like to work with u directly after the contest ends. I'll send my email address after the contest is over and we will contact each other:)
Dear Yavuz: congratulations and thank you! I am very pleased with the result. Our plan is to use your logo #236 as the basis. Then after the contest, we will make an agreement to pay you extra to develop several variations of for different uses, including logo #252.
The contest FAQ says the following should be part of what you deliver: "Once a winning design has been selected the winning Designer will provide an EPS vector file and multiple sizes of JPG through our automated file system. Upon Client request the Designer is required to provide the following logo variations: White Background, Colored Background, Black & White, and Solid Colors. Additional formats can include AI and PNG." We would indeed like the various color variations described above.
Please go to our website www.newburyliving.com and see that our logo currently floats on a gray background. We may ultimately make that background white, but please make one version of the winning logo able to float on a gray background without looking pixelated. (I actually intend to put logo #252 on the website -- so whether you deliver #252 now or later is up to whatever you are comfortable with -- the website instructs me not to ask for free services.)
Thanks a lot. We are looking forward to working with you. (And perhaps meeting you one day in Turkey?)
I want to thank u for your selection of my winning design! I'm also so glad about the result:)
Of course, I'll send all formats and color variations of the logo, actually this is my standard package to my customers.
Also, there's no problem for me to send logo #252 before our agreement:)
Now, i'm uploading the standard files to Logo Tournament and i'll send the final files to your email address... Also, i'll work on the logo on gray background for your website and send after this email.
I would like to work with u to develop several variations of logo for different uses as i've said before...
U always welcome to my country, would like to meet u:)
Hello Yanuz. I have found four of the final files. They all appear to be on white backgrounds. Am I right to understand that you will be working on the other deliverables over the coming days? If you do not mind uploading image #252, I will be using it in a presentation later today. Even better, if you could upload a small version of that with white background, suitable for an email footer. (Not a big deal if you are crunched for time and cannot.)
