NixT 420 Odor RemoverLogo Design Contest

Ok that sounds great Thank you.

of course I do other thing, we can talk about this through email when I sending you the rest of the files later. now I'm preparing the files.

Ok thank you so much Danez I really appreciate it. I really like working with you because you are so intuitive and very talented. I know Logo Tournament deals strictly with logos, as far as I can tell, do you do any other things besides logos?

the vector file is a master file, so you can do some tweak, or you can contact me any time by email, you will get all the files that you requested, but in logo tournament you only get EPS and JPG only, the rest of files such Ai, PNG will be sent via email

Excellent we are done and you win... :) I would like the Files in Vector, AI, PNG and JPG if you can. MY question to you is if we need to make some tweak to this, will the Vector File allow us to do that? And or if we needed you to teak it how would I contact you?

ok..

Hello Danez, sorry I did not respond sooner I was out and just got back.
This looks good to me.. I just sent it to my partner to confirm it is what we wanted. If I hear from him shortly I will get back to you. :)

red dots, updated

ok, will update soon

Ok this is the image if the size of the red dots they like and if you could just make them more easily seen Thank you. But make sure you are adjusting these dot to the last image you did where the smoke was perfect. Thank you.

Can you believe this, partners say that the red dots are too big in the last image you sent, So can you go back to the size previous and just make them a bit more pronounce in color. I will comment one more time on the actual size they like so we are clear.

:)

thanks I really appreciate it :)

ok I hope the guys will make a decision soon...they liked another designer but insisted you were the most talented and that i found it easier to work with you, you seem to understand my instructions and what I am envisioning. Hang in there and I hope I can work with you again.
Talk to you tomorrow. :)

your welcome :)

That looks great to me Danez. Thank you, you are a wizard.

yes I think just a bit more color I still have a hard time seeing the 1st and 7th dots and this will be on a small 4 oz bottle and the 8 oz will not be that much bigger so the logo will not be that large so it will be difficult to see , do you think. go ahead and do what you are thinking.

I like it the idea with this red dots, maybe the 1st on the left and 7th on the right need slightly brighter? or you think that's enough

now I can see that there is 7 I think that should do, do you like it?

I can only see 5 dots so yes make more bigger or what ever you think so it pops
The dots represent Odor, the middle one is the odor and each other dot is fading representing the odor being eliminated. NixT Odor Remover LOL. :)

check this one, the red dots more bigger

it has 7 red dots, but maybe i will make it a bit more bigger

I think this will work, again the other guys I have to talk to in the morning. I have a question. the red dots at the bottom do you think that looks ok or is there a way to make them stand out a bit more. You are the creative guy LOL . Only reason I am asking is because the partner that wanted that element put in...I do not want him to have me go back to you and ask you to make it pop just a bit more. if you would be so kind as to give me one version with a little more pop, not sure how...maybe if there were 7 dots instead of five then the center would be very bright and then on each side of that one would be less bright as the center one and then the others fad off. I am just trying to save you a headache and me too LOL, What do you think Danez?

how about this?

wow there are so many questions LOL.

1. in logo tournament, you will get EPS (vector) and jpg only, but if you need other files such as Ai, PNG I can sending it via email,

2. you only get 1st rank design, the prize only for the winner. but you can get several variations of logo like Horizontal version from me.

3. and for designing label and other things you can hire some one.

wow I just read what I sent and I sure made a lot of mistakes... Sorry. I could hardly understand it myself LOL :)

I have a question when you have time, once we pick the one logo and the contest is over. What kind of files do we get. Do we get Vector files, PNG, JPG, AI ? Also would i be possible to get files and a few of the runner ups? And lastly if we need something fixed will we be able to still have contact with you to adjust the logo? Once we have the logo we have to find someone to design the counter top display but we need to talk to our display company first to get the dyes or templates for the display. We also need to find someone to create the label to put our logo that goes on the 4 oz & 8 oz bottles. Someone had suggested 99designs but I am not sure about them. Sorry to ramble just so much to do and I know the files are important for all of this.

thanks, still working it now...

Hello Danez, hope you are feeling ok. Ok it all comes down to the smoke and the 0 in 420. Look at the 0 in the 420, the smoke is too wide it basically fills the 0... what they want is that the smoke in the 0 is to half as much, meaning squeeze it tighter similar to the smoke coming up just above the i in NixT, and then the final piece of smoke is suppose to come out on the very top left side corner of the 0. any questions please ask. I will be here until this is done.

Ok sounds good...Sorry you have a cold, my wife is just getting over a bad cold, they are not fun at all. Talk to you later :)

Hey Terry,
I slept early last night, I'm having heavy cold
will working it in the morning. ;)

Any Questions please ask... On other thing, once you are done with those changes, can we get another version with the Leaf turned 90 degrees so we can see how this image would look horizontal also. Some of our packaging will be Jars and horizontal would work better and the vertical for our Bottles. Thank you... If we get this perfect then we should be done.. at least I sure hope so, LOL. :)

Hello Danez... some final touches on this one and I think we nailed it YEA. :)
1. first the easy part. They like the Red dots at the bottom. What they would like to see is One main red dot and the going left and right the dots fade out and just a tiny bit bigger.
2. Here is the more interesting part. The Smoke :) You did a awesome job with it.
2.1 the smoke going over the number to seems to take away the sharp edges of the number 2, we want to make sure 420 bright green pops, is there a way to make the smoke more translucent when it goes over the green.
2.2 the bit of smoke on the top left of the 0 does not seem to connect up to the smoke in the 0. Here is what they would like to see. If you can tighten up the smoke just a bit in side the 0 and the just a wisp of smoke coming out of the very top right of the 0.

thanks...!

all of them look great, it is 1 am here so I will have to get back to you when I can show these and get feed back... great job Danez

I appreciate it Danez, any questions I am here

OK.. I guess I need to play with the smoke for a while LOL

I was just thinking that maybe the smoke can natually snake up the 420 and when it gets to the top the smoke could split when it hits the bottom of the leaf going both right and left, what do you think...you are a genius i bet you have some great ideas for this effect.

I think the want the smoke to look naturally snaking up through the 420 and then from right to left flatten out under the leaf.

I believe they wanted the smoke to go through the 420 not sure how, in the back ground foreground and then goes of to the right and swings to the left to go under the leaf and end on the left side of the leaf... they are looking for a 3D effect, I will have to leave it to your creative ideas. Does this make sense to you?

one question, is the smoke goes behind 420? when it moves to the right side after first rise up from the dot of "i"

Hello Danez.. just so you know I am being directed by others in the company and so that is why so many requests. We are so close here.
There are several elements they want tweaked. I will number them.
1.First can you change the Gold to a brighter gold, maybe more like the top part of the gold text, the lower part of the gold text is too dark. Or any brighter Gold color you think will make it pop more.
2. we are thinking that since this is on a small bottle initially, that is why vertical works better, that the words Odor Remover will not stand out because it will wrap around the sides of the bottle, so we are thinking that Odor Remover should be stacked meaning under the logo, Odor on top and Remover under Odor so it stands out.
3. You can leave Leave No Trace as i we think, unless you have an idea.
4. the red swoosh you use under Leave No trace, I have been asked that it be changed to Red Dots. The red dots moving from left to right would fade out, example first dot is solid red, then 2nd dot is 3 quarters red but the right side of that dot is fading, then 3rd dot is half solid red and half faded and so on, this gives the physiological impression that the odor is being eliminated. this would be centered under Leave No Trace...Be creative LOL.
5. this one is a hard one to explain but I will do my best and if you have any questions let me know.
It is about the smoke. the smoke can be two colors as you do this, you chose. It is requested that the smoke rise up from the dot of the i but then move to the right to rise up through the main logo and then as it rises to the top it somehow swings out to the left and goes under the leaf as if supporting it and ends there. no other smoke around the logo. this suggestion concerns me because I do not want the smoke as it rises to obscure any part of the logo but this is meant to give the logo a more 3D effect.
Thank you Danez
One other thing. after you get this done. then we would like to see just one version of it where the leaf is in between NixT and 420 but larger then the size of the T and 4.
Rock on Danez
Please any questions contact me.

Thank you I will get back to you later, back to bed for me LOL

LOL I know LOL but just can't seem to sleep. :)

I thought you had gone to bed LOL

ok thank you Danez

Thanks, will update soon,

Can i see this one with out the Leaf on top please.

you are awesome Danez, one last request and I have to go to bed it is almost 2:30 am here for me LOL. I am just trying to make sure I have the right variations to present to everyone in the morning. thank you for putting up with all my request. This logo looks great can I see it with out the leaf on top and with Gold smoke.

love what you did with this one Danez could you make Odor Remover in bright green also please.

Color of green is much better, Can I see this one with a bit whiter smoke, Green Smoke and a brighter Gold smoke and can you make ODOR REMOVER in that bright green also. Thank you.

could i see this where the smoke goes under the marijuana leaf instead of over the top of it and what would it look like if the smoke continues under the N of NixT and back to the dot to make a compleat smoke boarder. and one other thing we would just like to see is can you make the green much more neon.

great :)

working on it

oh and one with just Gold smoke and one with Odor Remover in same green as 420 please.

hello Danez can we see this with just white smoke and just green smoke please

ok this one looks pretty good, just one element we would like to see and that is with the smoke... In stead of having a smoke ring can you just take the white smoke and go up lie you have it initially and then bring it back in to the logo and sort of weave it through going up through the logo. I hope that made sense. or give us something along that concept...so again the smoke is coming out of the dot of the i in nixt and then drifts back and weaves in and out of the logo working its way up, not sure how it should end LOL. l

This is illustrated when the logo / design applied to a vertical position,
I think, if other parts such as leaf marijuana slogan and other information are not part of a single unit of the logo, the layout can be adjusted to follow the shape of the material to be used,
not all information can be read horizontally (will give the impression too saturated and density in one area), but when the bottles lined up on a display with some information on the position it natural and easy to read, consumers can read the information directly as the phrase "odor remover "without having to tilt their head, and I think it became a quick reaction response to advantage for consumers.

just my two cents :) and based on experience

Ok looking forward to seeing your variations of designs.

thanks for the idea, will try it, and also I will try to put the leaf on the left side of NixT and the right side of the 420 also try to put it back inside "0" on 420

Contest is over and because you are in #1 position you can still send in revisions according to the rules.

I have solved your problem... this is a totally new concept of mine that I have not ask any designer to do except for you. You are the only one I am telling that we want you to turn the marijuana leaf sideways with the bottom of the leaf towards the T of Nixt And the tip of the leaf towards the 4 in 420, the reason is we are going to turn the logo vertacally so it works better on a bottle. the way the leaf will look right side up in between NixT and 420 or at may even look good before NixT or After 420... this is a brand new idea and would not be copying any other design since you are the only on we are asking to do this. Any questions let me know.

Great question... originally we requested not to have any marijuana leafs in our logos, then we decided since this a marijuana product, we asked each designers to add a marijuana leaf and we did not specify where it should be because we wanted the designers to try different places. So all designers were asked to add the leaf and we deliberately left out where to put it because we wanted you to give us multiple variations. We certainly do not want to get anyone in trouble but we do think the leaf should be in the top with the Words Nixt and 420, we would like to see it in between Nixt and 420 if you think it is ok but if not maybe you could Put it on the left side of NixT or the right side of 420. What do you think?

I have question,
one of your comments, ask me to put a marijuana leaf between Nixt and 420, I see other designers use the same thing,
whether it was the original concept they were before, or upon request from you, it is very sensitive among designers, they could claim it was their idea and they can ban me for doing the same thing.
but if it is a request from you then I have a reason to do the same way

Cool, thank you, I will be here :)

ok i'm working it

same with the Colorful 420 background image like this look just needs some natural leaf edges like in the previous .

I have posted two images on is the medical marijuana leaf image, only we only want 5 leaves so you can cut out the bottom leaves and this would be bright neon green Same as Odor Remover

oh and we do not need a stem on it, it is more of an artistic leaf.

I am trying to find the example of the leaf but it would be a 5 leaf not a 7 leaf version I am trying hard to find it on Google. LOL

Ok I am going to use this logo to try and direct you. first 420 need to be a bright neon green. in between the word NixT and 420 can you put a marijuana leaf a large one that the tip of the leaf is a bit taller than the Text. Since our first products are in 4 oz and 8 oz spray bottles we intend to turn the logo vertically so the logo starts from the bottom of the bottle and go up the bottle. this way we maximize what the customer can see of the logo. We were wondering in stead of circles of smoke you could weave the smoke through the logo. I hope that makes sense. Leave No Trace should be in the red color you are using in this logo here. I will try to find the marijuana leaf style we like and post it unless you have an email I can send it you.

Hello Danez I am going to try and give some direction here to create a new logo with a number of different elements in it and I hope we can get this done with you. is there ways to send you some images so you can see what i am looking for?

Can you try a bright neon green and can you ad a marijuana leaf some where like the bottom in place of the swosh or up above NixT 420 please
also can you widen the white to match the width of the green smoke also.

sorry i just read all your feedback,
will work on it

The gold seems to look like melting wax LOL can you try something else.
Middle line over powering everything. 420 needs to be in green, Oder Remover in Red and Leave No Trace in White. Would also like to see a version that you feel would look good with a green marijuana leaf

Suggestions for this one, can you make the smoke ring not so hard edge but no blurry more like real smoke. start from the red dot keep the red smoke and transition into white smoke.
Then tuck under right side of the ring of smoke the number 420 in red and one in Green.
Then below all that put Odor Remover in green and then Leave No Trace. if you can incorporate a marijuana leaf in one version. Thank you

is there any way to get the T in NixT closer to the x? Please change green smoke to white and center the beginning more centered over the square dot and change the dot to red and same suggestion on dot as previous request on other design. Also make the lower smoke on the bottom green

more suggestions on this one, would like to see an additional version with a marijuana green leaf that pops incorporated some where that compliments the design.
Also can you add a very small transition on the red square dot from your color to just a bit of white (just the top edge of it and then have white smoke above. Also make sure Leave No Trace in white and bold and make sure the numbers 420 are bolder. Thank you.

Also one other element would be to see 420 more bold like some of your previous versions.

Looking good is the Leave No Trace in Bold or normal, would like it in Bold and would like to see it also in the same color as the square dot on the i in NixT.

this is a good one, could you change the colors around. the numbers 420 should be in green

Hello Danez this two things here, you got the smoke box right but I wanted the text level meaning not tilted up. Also one more thing I forgot to tell you my fault was that in the word Remover where you have the O in two colors can we not do that and just have the O the same color as the rest of the word please. Really liking your style :)

On this one, in stead of on an angle can you level it out... and make the smoke like a rectangle box around the whole thing and one with the smoke box just around the NixT 420 and then the other text below it.

Sorry Also then Under the BRand/Logo NixT ... Then Put 420 Odor Remover and then Leave No Trace. Thank you for being so helpful.

Hello additional info, my partner does not like the smoke ring, I do, however could you redo this design with just smoke rising up from the square dot on the i of NixT and maybe have it go up a bit and the off to the right to wards the T... Also I like the new font and he likes your original font could you show us that both ways with green smoke please

I like the new Font in the new images you sent... Much better I think. Now lets use this design here as an example to your new designs .
Can you add below the smoke ring, meaning not beside the right side of the smoke ring, but lower the words
420 Oder Remover and then below that Leave No Trace. this way the NixT is above all of that and stands alone.

Ok I hope this makes sense to you, I think a font that might look like Constantia or Georgia, I like in those fonts the X&T but the N like except for the top left side of the capital N, I prefer no hook there. Maybe you could find a good font similar to that, also maybe with the X if you accented it more by taking the bottom part of the X that goes up to the right and maybe make extra longer. With the i in NixT the fonts I suggested as examples the dot on the i is to high up. I hope that helps. The fonts for Leave No Trace could be similar , honestly I wish I knew more about fonts LOL but on your portfolio the Blue Wax stamp logo M3C logo the font used in the lower part where is says Service that might be a good font for the remainder of the text. Any questions let me know.

That is a good question, let me get back to you shortly...of course the goal everyone is all ways looking for is something iconic, something that is unique that grabs someones attentions because it is unique.

sorry for the delay just get back from office,

I'll try with the different type of font, but maybe is there any type of fonts you like? maybe serif, cursive or script fonts...

Thank you Danez...I have a question. You are much more knowledgeable in design so I am asking you is there any other type of Font you think would also work?

The "i" color, updated

Just wondering if you can make the dot on the i red or burgundy please , thank you are very talented.

also on this design maybe it might look better if the circle of smoke, the green part goes through the X and the gold is on top and or the whole circle of smoke is green. just an idea.

love this one. However we are looking for I Iconic logo, NixT is Our brand, so if you could maybe try something where NixT stands alone, on top and then 420 Odor Remover and then Leave No Trace. This way eventually the Logo will only be the NixT part and what ever product we are selling will be low, like for now the 420 Oder Remover. Also would like to see that with and with out the marijuana leaf. You are doing and great and have the best logs so far. Thank you for all that you do.

there are designs that have not been uploaded, still in progress :)

I was just speaking with one of my partners and he wanted me to pass on some suggestions for maybe another look, he thinks the current oval logo looks to much like yin/yang look...take that for what is worth LOL. that is it from him... I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with based on my other suggestions. Any questions please ask.

Great I look forward to it :)

thanks for taking tour to my portfolio, I will make some variations :)

Hi just wanted to tell you I was looking at some of your designs you have done before and I like a few that maybe you could incorporate some elements, I like your Illuminate logo where the you use the effect of glowing, also like the D&K logo, and I like what you did with the fonts on the 21St Trading, very creative. just throwing out some ideas.

Oh one other thing, if you think there is a better font to use please let us see it.

Hi Danez...thank you so much for all the variations, I like the way you think :) my partner was wondering what you could do with an emerald green color maybe instead of the Burgundy on the basic design you have been working on. Not sure where to use it, so we are looking to you for your creative ideas. Also we were wondering if you had any other design ideas other than the one you are working on, we really like what you have come up with but just wondering if you had any more ideas. Thank you again, really appreciate it.

Hello, looking at the word REMOVER you have the O with a line through it and half one color and the other half another color, I think it is a great idea. However I was thinking that it might look better if you did that on the 0 on the 420 where the 0 is bigger and might have a better effect. Could you try that please on a few of them like the Gold colored 420 and the Burgundy 420 . :)

sorry, yesterday it was very late, I will do it today

I have a question... are the swishing boarders representing smoke? I really like them... I was wondering...what if you rotated the image not the words and had the gold boarders coming form the bottom and going up like the text is inside these borders, not sure if I am explaining this right, you could then maybe have two on each side connected at the bottom and bowing out and up to connect near the top, just an idea. like what you have done so far.

Wondering what this would look like with Leave No Trace in bold and in Burgundy.

can I see this one with 420 in Burgundy and the Leave No Trace in Bold please :)

Looking forward to it.

Thanks for all the feedback, will update the design

What would this look like if the 420 was in Burgundy and refer to the OG image for color match

what it the Leave No Trace was in Burgundy and maybe in Bold font

The bottom color looks more red than Burgundy.

Hello Danez is there a way to increase the file size so I can enlarge your 3 logos so I can look at them in more detail please.
