I am using the letter Greek letter 'Omicron' as a heart for this concept.
You can use it as the first letter as in #29 or for a stand alone emblem as in #30
I will continue to submit revisions and additions to this concept for you. Any of the layout, elements in the design of color, layout, size proportion and fonts etc. may be changed or interchanged..
Just let me know.
I will be away this afternoon teaching art and will check back with you this evening.
2 more as an abstract marks for you to see the possibilities of using this alone without your name..with the Heart shaped Omicron/ribbon.
On any that you are interested in at the end I will work on perfecting the balance on the heart etc., I could also do something more raw, like a brush stroke, will add that tonight for you.
We especially like 30 and 37. I am trying to put my finger on what it is that attracts me to those, I think it is because they project an image of bold, confident, yet feminine and romantic. I'd love to see a few different color combinations.
I think we like the pink/purple coloring better than the gold. Also like the two colored heart idea like in 46, maybe try something like that in the feminine color range. I really am enjoying your work! We have needed a new logo for so long and it's exciting to see such nice ideas.
Also, so you know any of the variations of these designs, you will receive them all after the contest is 'completed' and the design you choose is approved in your LT account. We can only upload the design that you choose for your approval. Then all other communication can be by email and additional files and file formats are sent to you.
Also, when you near the end of your decision the first 3 entries must be different designers to complete your contest.
Really enjoying your designs, as you can probably tell from your ranking! Question about receiving the designs after the contest, is it possible to receive the design elements separately, we use our logo in different ways in different media and it would be helpful, like layers in a photoshop file kind of thing?
Sure anything you need in this with separate elements, different colors, grayscale etc. will be sent to you as well as all the file formats that you would need. The vector files are in layers, then you will receive all the other formats as well.
One thing to bring to your attention...please let me know which ribbons you prefer...on #48 the mirror is precise at the baseline in the center of the Omicron/Heart and #30 is more free formed in the base line in the same area...which do you prefer? If you like #48 better I will change it to the colors that are on #30
I will be online for about another 30 minutes if you would like to see that tonight...otherwise I will check back in the morning with you.
Hope you have a restful evening. Thank you once again! Teresa
Just checking in with you this morning, I will be away teaching an art session again this afternoon and will return abt 5pm cst. I will be here for a couple of hours more this morning. If there is anything else you would like to see on this, please let me know.
Just realized I posted general last night rather than directly to you, I like the 30 ribbon better, a little more whimsical. Sorry for the comment delay!
So cool that you teach art, do you teach kids or adults? I have a friend that is a painter and takes art classes and really enjoys them.
I teach all ages and elementary and high school in the past, competitive art in all mediums, as well as private lessons and tried to set up some type of community outreach for art as well but I need to see another way to get support....now I teach and volunteer at 3 nursing homes..1 a friend hired me to be with his 'artist' mom who is 86, and has Alzheimer's but still does her sketches and watercolors for portraits and the other two nursing homes I volunteer in the memory care units and assisted living once a week...one the residents who come all paint the most amazing abstracts in acrylics on canvas..I don't teach actually fundamentals or method and technique anymore...I call myself an art coach to e
Right now #30 is our favorite of yours. We'd like to try a couple of fine tune things. One, making the wedding video words larger. Not big like the Omaha, just a bit larger. Two, a few more colors on the hears, maybe a hot pink one, a blue one, a green one, a purple one, like that, just so we can see how the different colors look. Just one color on each heart, hope I'm explaining myself somewhat clearly.
Love the different colors! Could we try one more thing? For the "wedding video" line, could we try an all caps serif font, spaced out a little more (kerning? Maybe that is what it's called I'm not sure).
No rush, we are not morning people and won't see them for at least 10 hours from now.
Lol about getting lost in the color ... We have the least original name ever, might be good to obscure the Omaha ... We're in Omaha if you didn't guess that. Just kidding, and the colors look great.
Here is this one with the serif font and opened space kerned. It won't go all the way across with too much of a negative space between your name because of the baseline in the O. Also to let you know this isn't a true center I made it a visual center for balance
I will check back with you in the morning to see if you would like to see any variations of this one.
Being an artist I am usually am not a morning person either, but my schedule change as cut my evenings short but it's passed midnight here so I probably won't be a morning person tomorrow. :-)
So ... Hello design number one! I know there is a 7 day period here but we're pretty much decided. We're gonna "sleep on it" but it feels right. From the moment I saw your first few designs you submitted I just felt something go "click". We'll be in touch tomorrow evening (my day job beckons) .
One request, could you also provide us a image where the background would be black and the text white, pink parts pink, we are planning to embroider the logo and not sure whether it would be on light or dark shirts.
#122 Here is this one you have in 1st again...I realized I needed to expand some of the elements #123 to make it more legible on a dark background I made the hot pink a little darker, and the gray a little lighter #121 The hot pink is even darker.to give you two options for the dark background.
The black background really is for reference only, even if it is to be added to a black background on your website.
You will select from two different Pantone colors for the Hot pink and gray depending on if you have a white background or a black background. I will supply you with all necessary details through email after you approve the uploaded files...when you 'Complete' the contest I can upload the files this evening and then if there is time still and you 'approve' the files in your LT account I will send you all the file formats that you will need for various applications. .
I will check back with you this afternoon about 5cst and can stay with you if you need to this evening.
Tomorrow I will be away all day teaching art until late afternoon.
One more thing before I sign off....If you want to try another hot pink between the first and these I can do that by adjusting % in CMYK or RGB. The lighter hot pink on the dark background interferes with your name in white the same way the dark hot pink interferes with your name in black on the white background.
We're going to complete the contest, no huge rush uploading, I saw your note about teaching tomorrow. You are right, we like the light hot pink on the white, and the dark hot pink on the black, I appreciate you pointing out the difference. With the color codes I can tweak these as needed when we're using them I'm guessing.
Would you be open to, if we need further graphic work In the future, could we contact you directly to hire you for additional work? I've struggled with this type of stuff the whole time we've had this company, how much better working with a pro!
Thank you!! I appreciate you selecting the design I did for you!
We can communicate via email now and I will check back in the morning through email to see if you have any questions. Once I'm sure everything is okay through your approval of these files here in your account, I can start sending you all the others...including just the ribbon in a separate file.
I sure would like to work with you in the future...
My email is on the LT contract and is beefreenaturals@yahoo.com
Thank you once again!!! Have a great evening! Teresa
Yep, I'm Miriam, I'm the chatty poster, Don is my husband. We've been running this business for about 12 years doing wedding Video for 2 reasons, a creative outlet ( I'm sure you can relate ) and to preserve family memories, these videos become heirlooms as time goes by and people are no longer with us. It is a side business, our main company is producing video for live musical events. That business name is even less interesting, Moran Recordings ... And our logo is something I popped together on vista print in a.moment of desperation when we suddenly needed a batch of new shirts for a big job. It's kinda cute but we've never had a "real" logo for that company either, our old logo was 2 music notes and our name, lame I know. That is what brought us to loll tournament this time.
Is EPS an adobe illustrator file? We've got creative suite so can probably confirm both files. Then I'll look forward to getting the others later in email.
