Thanks so much for your submissions, you have some great ideas. I will be ranking soon. I was worried I wouldnt have many submissions until I saw your work. really impressed. I like several of your designs. I will reply to your submissions for a few updates soon, but youre definetely in the top choices! as soon as I get you the info, please get the changes back so I can get the contest finished, and pick a winner! thanks again.
I looked at several of your designs closely, and top ranked a few of them! On Entry# 29 I like the concept with Seal, can you please change the colors some so it stands out more, change the One Source name to all caps there may be something else to add as a compliment like a small star at the beginning and end of Property maintenance, Inc the inner circle of the seal may need to be thinner and larger so the logo ops out, and any work on the color would be appreciated, like a blue sky, green palm tree fronds, perhaps a different tree truck color. and the color of house could be changed accordingly. thanks for your submission, a winner is just right around the corner!
On entry #20 can I see a concept of this design build into a seal or some geographic shape so any color shirt can be chosen as uniform and the logo still be clearly seen?
On entry # 25 can we include something in the third panel besides a palm, perhaps a string trimmer or something different. you can Google STIHL commercial string trimmers for ideas.
and finally entry #28 might look good outlined in black.
I like entries # 49, 50, 52, and 54..... Id like to see them in the seal like you've done but with color, and maybe some glow, so I can compare
Maybe green, orange sun, and some black outlines, but the seal looks good, think landscape colors, of course I I mentioned before, the seal can have clear vivid colors and glows, as along as its in the seal, then I can wear it with any color shirt or hat as along as the key points of the design are outline in a thin line of black.... what do you think about a few rays coming from the sun? would that be to busy in the seal?
Still 24 hours remaining look forward to seeing up dates
Entry # 20 the palm trunks should be slightly larger, the fronds on the palms should be less tropical and more common perhaps, and possible a slight glow on the sun, just some thoughts.
Okay! thanks, I may be extending the contest if admin approves it. thanks for your effort! look forward to your updates, a lot of competition has come in at the last moment. You have one design still hanging in there at # 1 and a few others I like a lot, but competition is getting stronger. So fair warning... look at the ranked list to get ideas.... I like the designs outlined in a thin line of black so it will show up on almost any color of clothing. Good Luck!
Thanks for your entries! I like #'s 127, 130, and 135. My favorite 2 of those 3 is #135, and #130
I like # 135, because its a shield and is different, it suggest strength! but I'm not sure that a house alone says enough about my business. I know there is only a day left, but if you decide you want to submit updated entries then I'd encourage you to focus on just theses Im mentioned. Do something that stands out with the house at the bottom of the shield. I have told a few designers I'd like to see bursting rays of the sun, not fanned out in black, but sharp points with glows in them like you added on edges several of your designs. It seems a palm tree is crucial with the silhouetted house, but the house needs that sun set or sun rise behind it, and as far as a palm, the best type Ive seen yet was submitted by IntrepidPuppy from Canada, even those ones could use some work! He is rank #1 so far but has not submitted the updates I requested, so anybody can still win over $400. Id like to see a designer create a Washingtonian palm or a palm that has a pineapple cut to it. Those are both common in my area. Other wise huge improvements from your other designs. I like #130 because it looks like an emblem. it suggest strength! like the shield... I like the house design, but not the blackened sun rays so much, and I prefer the palm tree to look more realistic.
If it helps I used Google Images and searched for: "palm trees Panama City Beach FL" I found several ideas of silhouetted palms in my area. I hope this feedback helps to top rank. Good luck! I know you can impress me. You have the talent!!
James, the contest is going to end in 3 hours, soo when you see the new entries remember that you can give me feedback during judging time. Also any designer can submit entries as long as you put it on 1st rank, so thats the way you can interact with your best desginers even when the contest is over.
So hope we can work together even if the contest has finished
Thanks so much for responding like you did toward the end. I have a several days to choose the final... this will be difficult, because there are about 7 really good designs.
Sorry been very busy since contest ended....Thanks offering.... and responding back, which is good, I am hopefully getting a friend to look at them tomorrow. Can you see the logos at there current rank? If so take a look at rank # 1 by IntrepidPuppy from Canada, that designer was really on to something until the end he would not respond to minor changes I needed to rank. That was the one I liked, but am having a hard time juding now..... perhaps you can duplicate it, and give it your own finishing touches. If you're allowed to email me directly then I would get you message faster.... jbrannon180@yahoo.com
PS what nationality are you, you speak great English, just wondering :)
Hello James, I think is better if we continue the logo by this way, tell me what changes do you wanna see and i'll submit new entries about it. I cant copy designs from other designer, just can continue with my ideas :)
I like the stars. and the basic set up.... can you update the house, more modern, and 3 dimensional, palms more like the ones in my geographical area..... I like the progress, but hope to see fresh updates.... I need a logo that looks, and feels professional. My business depends on it. I think you may be on track... hope to hear back soon...
PS... hope the logo Im looking for makes sense.The design will go on everything, website, letterhead, clothing, business cars, trucks, trailers, hats, billboards, tv maybe even. I need a sharp design.... thanks again!
I have placed your newest design in rank, Good work on the palm tree! Before I select the winner, can you give me final advice or judgement concerning what Ive asked for? I want to hear any honest feedback from an artist standpoint. I want to make sure, that before I put this logo on everything.... is there anything else in your mind that could make it look its best? colors, shade, hairline details etc?? or is this it, you think? I do not want to go overboard with to many changes? I will leave anymore final ideas up to you!
PS.... just looked again at palm, it looks so much better than it did before, but when you log on and do finishing touches I mentioned above, can you also make the trunk of the the palm a little larger to match the top.
Ok James, i uploaded new entries with 2 windows on the house as you said, also the trunk is larger and i put some details on the bushes with some shadows reflected by the sunset
About the background color, i uploaded new entries with different color so you can compare and see that the logo can be used on black, white, orange, green, etc
Entry #200 voted best! please send me all the colors for that entry> one last question? do you think the palm should be completely blacked out or have a fade from the sun. your decision. Will select final tomorrow.
Well, about the palm maybe can have a little fade from the sun, let me show you now how it would look like, but also i think it looks great all in black.. Just give me a couple of minutes
I kind of like both, but If you personally think the blacked out palm is better, then that is the way we will leave it, at this point its all up to you, lol, if you do happen to think of something little that would fit into the logo, and make it stand out more, then that's great! please feel free to do it by tomorrow evening. My plan is to end the contest completely at that time. Thanks you for your consistency and willingness to update as I requested, good attitude towards the customer!... thumbs up! :)
Actually i liked the light on the palm, that's why i upload that entry on different color backgrounds!! It looks better, like a real sunset... like it like it!!
