The top two ranked designs caught our attention quickly. We are not sure about the blue and red "people", otherwise we liked both of these designs. Entry 3 is of interest too...it may become more of a favorite. Entry 2 and 1 are very nice, just need a little more "excitement"...thank you for all of your entries!

Entry 23 is very nice too! Can I see it without the graduation caps and can you tell me a little about the symbol...people you are using? Thanks!

Hello, can you take entry 25 and give it the format of entry 4? Without the stars in the circle? I really enjoy all of your logos...thank you for taking an interest in our school! My staff is giving me feedback on their choices.

How will these logos do on a T-Shirt?

I understand, and the good news is you will have at least two designs if not three in the finals. My concern is how they would look on a T-shirt is one of our considerations when voting, not that I was asking you to do so. #26 & #44 are two of my favorites but did not receive many votes from my staff. Also, the blue star on the top of #25 is much more favorable than #48. Thank you for your efforts...see you in the next round.

Logopixel,

On design #1, can you flip the blue and the white so we can see what that looks like without a blue background (for letter head, business cards, etc).

Thanks and really like the star you chose for #72 but would like to see that on #48. On #48 would like to see deeper reds and blues like #72 without any light blue.

Thanks!

Logopixel...what about adding some color to #74 that is similar to #73? We really like the font on #73, but the 1/2 moon on #74 and the NCC on it too This one is getting the most votes as of now from my staff, but I want a little color like #74 and #75 but now on a white background...thanks!

Client
Logopixel...that is great! I am not sure I have an more feedback for you...the top three you have are awesome! My staff have liked the "coolness" but simpleness of what is now the top ranked logo. Thanks for all of your hard work!

I really think the #1 design is about perfect. I think your original design would be fine to show this design in white on a dark blue T-Shirt. Everyone likes it. If it is on a White T-Shirt, I am glad we have a red/blue option. I just wanted to see the design jazzed up some and I think you did just that. You have 5 designs in the top ten and I think any of the five could win. Thanks for all of your efforts. The only think I was looking for was some symbolism that goes with the designs to say "Why this one?" Other than that, I hate to say it, but I have very little feedback for you other than that. First five are great!

Okay...I am not exactly sure what my parameters are here for the next few days, but I believe I can get revisions from you. Entry #88 is the fan favorite. However, there are elements of #24 and #75 that people liked and I assume it was the stars. Can we I see some usage of both? What makes #88 the best is the large NCC. NCC is going to be a focus of our new marketing campaign and like the focus. I like the idea behind #98 to enclose the NCC, but the two symbols inside remind me too much of my previous school's logo found at

http://www.fortosage.net/education/page/download.php?fileinfo=Q1RDQnJvY2h1cmVfMjAxMl8zMDBtYi5wZGY6Ojovd3d3NS9zY2hvb2xzL21vL2ZvcnRvc2FnZS9pbWFnZXMvZG9jbWdyLzM0ZmlsZTcyNjcucGRm

Maybe a specific option that I would recommend would be to take the left curve and bring it more under the NCC and add the three person star at the end of the curve at the top? The curve and the three elements that become a star could represent "Soaring to success with advanced training, further education or immediate employment"

I went back to #71 that was on Blue and I didn't like that star at the end, but maybe the star found on #24. If not, #88 maybe the pick without any tweaks! Entry #72 has that "break" of the blue line leading into the three figure star...I like that a lot

Logopixel,
Those two were not quite what I was looking for. I really like #88 and like some of what you did with #115, but want NCC centered vertically like it is in #88 and would want the circle to encompass most if not all of NCC. Please leave NCC in blue and the circle or half moon in red. I do not wan the little star on top either. Getting close...real close...just not there yet.

Thanks for the two

#118 is ALMOST there. Could we make the red moon slighter just by a little similar to #88, and provide a little more white space around the NCC...it seems a little crowded. But man, I really think we might have something there. Also, the students I am sitting with really like #75 and #97. How would these look in all white on a blue background to show my t-shirt or embroidered shirt.

Okay Logopixel, I have a question. I am still evaluating your designs. Are you the only one that can submit now? I have three other designs that are interesting to my staff and students that you will see in the top 12. So, are you the only one left, or can the other two tweak their current designs for a final vote. I believe that one of the other designers has two that I want to see just slightly different, but to be honest doing this for the first time, I don't know what my limitations are. Is it just you and me? I don't want to do anything that upsets the contest, but want to make sure I am making the correct decision. Please advise and I know that is an awkward question to ask, but struggle with the directions given as to my opportunities and limitation. I love your designs...just wanting to know my options.

Hi.......i see.......the contest is in judging mode.....if you want a designer to submit entries...just rank his design as 1st and he will be able to submit.......send him PM and ask him to submit changes as you required........

I hope this helps......but please do not let other to copy my concepts (as i have lots of different concepts in top 10)....this usually happens in this stage....and designers can do anything to win this contest..your understanding is appreciated.

Please note once you removed my entry in Judging mode from 1st Rank.....i will not be able to submit entries.....till you ranked me 1st again......

thanks

Logopixel, I had some feedback from an advisory group that asked if we could put as a possible tagline in italicized font: "College Ready, Life Ready, Career Ready" on #119. Would it be possible to stair step that down? We have found symbolism with your three tiered star and wanted to see what it looked like in print as well.
Thanks!

Logopixel...our leadership team just had a final vote and you are the winner! #119 is the winner, but would like to see College, Career, and Life Ready as our new tag line.

Client
So...trying to figure this contest thing out...can we interact and get to variations of the final design when I hit the button? I want to make it official as long as you and I have an interaction phase. I have ranked my designers one, two and three as it said when I hit the button, but wasn't sure of what happens next with our interaction. Your three part star (people) caused interesting dialogue that led us to "College, Career, and Life Ready". We would like to see that a few different ways. So if we get to interact after I hit the button, I will hit it. Congratulations!

Hi.......please find revised entry with new tag line.....

from #126 to #130

After you select me as a winner.....i will be providing Original master .eps file and .jpg file 'only' as per the guidelines 'throught' LT portal.

Then you need to share your email ID.....so that i can send other versions.

Once you are satisfied with all files.....you need to Click "Approved" under My Contest < My Ended Contest in LT. Then only payment will be release.......so you have full control on Deliveries...

If you need more version of same design or symbol separately you need to let me know. For example.

1) Full colored logo
2) white logo on black background
3) Black Logo on white background
4) Full color symbol
5) White symbol on Black background
6) Black symbol on White Background etc.......

.eps file is a vector file and resolution independent, that means you can stretch to any level without loosing sharpness.....It can also be edited using Adobe Illustrator CS3 software (fonts are converted to curves and will not be editable - as per the guidelines) like deleting any part of it....you can also change the colors as required.
.eps file can be imported by the stitching machine software (based on my local machine experience) for easy and sharp stitching....

Let me know if you have any concerns.

Thanks again...really enjoying working with and for you.

Okay. Sounds great. I like how you used the bars to separate the tagline. Could you do this in one only using #119's everything, and this tagline Below in slanted font like you used in #74 to say:

College, Career, and Life Ready

However, I really like the bars and would like to see #129 as is with the exception of switching career ready to the middle and life ready to the right.

I created the confusion with my staff after an advisory group told us they loved your logo, but did not like our tagline. We had no intention of changing, but this tagline fits our vision and goes with the symbolism of the #1 logo.

Client
Thank you so much by the way! I will end the contest after that revision.

Client
More feedback...the person that likes the slanted font likes #126 the best as far as the lower case and the slant in that font. So, as I continue to give you specifics, use #126 versus #129 font with career in the middle set of bars and life on the right. Then please try with that same font, College, Career, and Life Ready

Thanks!

You can still make the few tweaks correct?

Logopixel can you switch those two words and try the College, Career, and Life Ready with the commas and capitals before I approve. I really want to see that before I approve it. I wanted you to be the winner so I went ahead an hit the button, but I would like to see those changes please before I approve.
