#11- Background color- darker, almost black/eggplant. Nica's Dream font not so glittery- and not gold, more stainless steel industrial looking. The bottom font- richer color. Top line- straight across and cleaner. Really like the moon logo, but the font color isn't prominent enough. This is the closest and most exciting logo that we have seen so far. Needs to be a bit more sophisticated/ art deco.
#19 We like the horizontal presentation. This design has inspired the idea of incorporating an element from our - soon to be - former logo. Do you have the opportunity to check out our current website http://www.channel-cafe.com. If you do you will see that we have a black and white image of a city skyline with the current name of the business (Channel Cafe), the name that we are changing to Nica's Dream. I think it could be a great way to transition to the new name if it works well to add the image of the skyline. Also do you have any other ideas for a color that is different than the green used in the wording "eat drink art music"? Something darker? Something other than the green.
#27,28,& 39 Thank you for testing the idea of adding the building skyline. I can see that it does not work very well. I apologize for not realizing that before asking for it. These all remind me of Halloween. I do like the way you set up the slogan (Eat Drink Art Music) in #39. If you go back to #19 and add the slogan in the style that you did in #39 I'd like to see how that works. I still don't know what to give you for color direction yet for the backgrounds but I expect that we can focus on that later, I'm open to suggestions other than Blue. Thanks
We went back to look over the body of some of your other work and I'd like to let you know the ones that stood out for us and why. your Lykke- Great color combo, especially the shade of green you used. I also liked the hand drawn effect of the outline. Becky Joy- the contemporary feel and this logo made us think that we should make the word Nica's more prominent and have the word Dream fade back from prominence. We expect more people will just refer to the restaurant as Nica's Also Chicago Art Machine we liked. again for it'd hand drawn look and feel. You do very nice work
#66 is great. I love the design and layout. The only change I would do is make the colors a bit darker. I still don't like the font for the N in Nicas. I think it is a bit overused.
#66 I like the minimal look and the hand drawn look. I think the fonts don't do it justice, as it seems very ordinary compared to the beauty of the layout. Can we do a font that looks more hand drawn and original?
#70 Can the White part of the lettering for the N of Nica's overlap the outline that you have around the background color? So it sits on top. I am expecting that would make the word Nica stand out even more.
#70 and can you change what looks like an X for the dot on top of the i; to a round shape ( maybe this is where a fuller moon shape, not a crescent moon, can be incorporated into the design). Thanks I know we are pushing.
I really like what you have done with #74. I sent off a note to my business partner to check it out, she has been involved with these comments all along. I did want to ask you to show us the (eat, drink...) done in the same bolder style that you used in entry #40 using the purple color that you used for the wording in #74. Thanks!
#69 Is my business partners favorite from your collection. If I were to agree with this over #74 I'd like to see it changed with the same treatment of having the word Nica's sit on top of the outline. Could you also open up the "a" of nica's visually or change it so that it does not look the same as the "a" of dream. I realize that the reason they are now the same is because they are from the same font choice. She also likes #67. The crescent moon shape would need to be more subdued for this to work for us.
As for #77 Again I think you presented a better design idea when you submitted #74, my suggestion seemed to flatten out the overall design. I like the offset slogan of Eat, Drink....,(#74) my concern was it was too hard to see. May I suggest just switching to capitol letters but keeping the placement of the slogan the same as #74. I'd also love to see you push your idea's for #67 around in the way you did for the last revisions to #66
my last comments seemed to get lost. so I will attempt to recreate them. #69 Can the "a" of Nica's be changed so it looks a bit different than the "a" in dream? And can you place the outline behind the word Nica's, like you did in #74?
Thanks, here is the revised logo based upon the latest feedback. Did you still want to see a revision based upon the previous feedback? (from last night)
I'm afraid that we dragged you from one end of the scope to the other but please bear with us as we learn that our logo does need to visually make people understand we are a restaurant. Because of that we need to continue to focus on new designs.
#138 This is moving in the direction that we need to go. I would like to see the cresent moon shape that is ontop of the i, more abstract. As it is now it is too prominent and reminisent of a turkish(?) flag. Could you also still use Eat. Drink. Art. Music instead of the litural breakfast lunch dinner. Thank you again.
#138 I still don't think the dot on the i works. I hope there is time to ask you to complete the circle. I am thinking that it could look like a full moon with a shadow of the cresent moon shape.
