Perfect balance, expressed by the ying-yang symbol. It combines being together, care and balance.

Very nice! Can you tell me your thought behind the circle within the right part of the symbol? From my standpoint, it almost symbolizes mother and child, with the circle being the egg. Would be great for an infertility clinic...but I want to know what you were thinking.....

Hi, thank your for leaving feedback and ranking my design that high, it is a great honor to see my design in first place.

I was thinking of your slogan - complete balance, total care, together. I tried to implement the yin yang, a very well known symbol of balance and harmony. The figures in it express women and are open to interpretation. A good logo gives you a direct and indirect information, open to interpretation. If a logo can tell you anything and there is nothing to keep your mind busy after seeing it, there is no real point of it. That is why a logo, element of a logo and a design can be viewed in a hundred different ways, depending on the mood and many other factors of the viewer. I can't lie to you, that I meant the things you noticed about the logo, but I can assure you, that the open type of the logo is intended and it worked fine. :)

The logo is easily remembered at first glance and will keep the viewer's mind busy for a couple of moments, making sure your brand leaves a good mental print on him/her.

Please ask any other questions, leave as detailed feedback as you can! I love making revisions!!! :)

I understand your tain of thought, but all I can think of is that if someone sees this, they will think I do infertility. Can we get the egg symbol out of the theme? Open your creative mind.....
Would a stethoscope be hoakie to represnet my part in this??? HELP!!!

OK, so I can't type and think (that should have said train....)
Didn't see the new design! I like this!!!!

Client
How about another woman on the other side??
Can I also see something with just the two women alone "wrapped" around each other like the yin yang....
Do you see now why I'm in medicine and not graphic design? LOL!

Logo Designer
Hi! I get what you are thinking and will try something to remove the egg symbol. My primary idea were two women, wrapped around eachother. Probably your mind is now reading the logo only with the logo on it, but if you look at it again, you will see that the second woman, the one on the right is just facing down, it is turned up side down. Actually the figures are quite the same, but obviuosly I need to change them.

What did you like in my new designs that you want to see further implementet?

Client
Also, I love the moon....I think that women invoke the same type of mystery that the moon does....
Can I see it with the leaves liying down a bit?

Client
I love the yin yang. I love the softness of the female figures. I love the simplicity of your design.
I see the two women now, sorry, it was like a mind trick.....
Could we change the color of the yin yang to bring them out more??? Maybe a color change would differentiate them a bit more.....
I like #26, but people here are too sexually repressed to accept it. Great idea, though!
Could you incorporate the two women in the "O" in optimal health?
Question...once I decide on a design, is there a way to come back for an upgrade with the same artisit?

Hi, I will make the changes you asked for, and about your question:

I am obligated to provide you with any kind of changes before you reach the final round of your contest. Even in "Complete" mode, where the design is already chosen, you can ask for changes on the logo until you like it. Also I am obligated to provide you with any neccessary files you might need in any direction.
So, the upgrade of the logo later on, after the contest end, is something I am not allowed to promise, since I will be violating major ground rules. This kind of deal is made upon finalization of the contest between you and the designer. I want to inform you, that all the things I mentioned that I am obligated to, are also requested from any other designer, this is not a private deal I am making. :)

Thank you for working with me on my designs, I see you are new to Logo tournament but you figured out something, that few contest holders do - working with the designer is the most important thing - this leads the contest to its natural end faster and makes the result perfect.

I will be uploading the requested changes you asked for in a few hours, since I am not with my personal computer yet.

I understand. I was just curious as I might want to add a website address later.....wouldn't ask you to do anything against the rules.
Is there any way that you can differentiate between the women and the outline of the yin yang?
Can you incorporate the yellow for the surrounding yin yang of the women and meld it inot the dark purple? or the blue into purple? I look the warmness of the yellow though.......
To me, that would be perfect. the green illustrates the natural aspect of my practice, while the yellow (or blue) yin yang turning into to the two women is indicative of the fact that the balance makes the women whole......
I'm so excited to find you! I've been working with a graphic designer since 9/09, with no results.

Hi, I didn't mean to imply, that you are asking me to do something, I just wanted you to know, that if I make such a promise it will be considered as a back door deal. However, I think that no matter who wins your contest, adding the website and sending it to you as a different logo won't be much of a problem, you will just have to ask in the end.
I will try the things you asked, but I am not sure purple and yellow are the best match, although we can't be sure until I do it, so I will do it so you can decide for yourself.

I am also excited that you are working with me on your logo, as for any designer a new logo to design and develop is a whole new experience and I am also very happy that you enjoy the results.

Just curious, what state are you in?
I like #48 and 49. Now the two women jump out at me.
The colors of my new office will be sage green, taupe, brown and the aubergine for accents. I'd like to see what you think looks best in that earth tone color scheme.
I still like # 7-can we do your color recommendations in that logo?
I think I'm almost happy with the design. It's the colors that are the final issue....

Logo Designer
Hi, I was sitting, trying to figure out what you mean by "what state are you in" for about 10 minutes, when I saw the flag. It changed, strangely, on its own. I am not from the US, although I want to visit New York, it is one of my dreams. I am from Bulgaria, a small country in eastern Europe. Very beautiful, old country.

WIth the sage green, the green that is currenly chosen by me for the logo is perfect, it will not blend with the other colors and make the logo stand out /if you plan to have it in the office/. The taupe will go with yellow, orange and brown. Aubergine is good for accents, because it is a strong color and it won't keep the eye busy.
So the logo as it is, Entry #49, will look good. However, I can give it a shot with the exact colors you mentioned.

We will refine the colors, no problem. :)

P.S.: As you can see I used a solid color for a background on some of my logos. I took one of the colors that your office will be decorated with, but I shot in the dark. Could you please tell me what would the main color be?

The one I ranked first is awesome! My only concern is if I need it in a black and white format-what will I do with the white figure?? For example-in stationary print in black and white? Any suggestions? Maybe I need #58 as well for that....
Can I see some different fonts? Can you bold the "together"?
I've e-mailed this to some close friends for their opinion. I'll show my staff tomorrow and get their opinion.
I love the change in colors-you've picked the perfect ones.

Logo Designer
Hi, thank you for the compliments. I will upload a black and white version for you to see. Simply it will not include a colored background, therefor the the white figure will be black. :)

I hope your friends like what I designed! :)

Greetings,
Artistic

I've extended the time because this is so important. I'd like to see your thoughts on something else surrounding the yin yang. I like the color of green, but would like for you to tap into your creativity some more.

Logo Designer
I know, a logo is a very important part of the business. I had the impression, that you liked what we had so far. What changed? I mean what don't you like anymore, what do you want to see added? More elements, less elements? Is one of your friends not in line with the logo, what did he/she say? I am asking all those questions because I need a direction to go :)
14 years ago
 
Client
I did like what you had, but now I see some things in the new ones I like as well. I'm not usre what I would like to see added, that's why I asked for your input and creativity. I love what you've doen and know there are more ideas in there!!! I just want to make sure I've "opened all the doors..." hang in there with me!:)

Logo Designer
Could you please show me logos that you like, styles and etc.? In the design world the doors are really infinete, so we can't open them all. I need some direction, some boundries to work in. Show me a logo or two that you admire, compositions or anything that can help me work.

Client

Thank you for al of your help!
