I'm putting your #326 back in first place for another edit.
Make the swoosh emphasis line black in color. Make the swoosh line smaller, so it goes only under the word "should." Change the font used for the company name to the same one you used for #301. Increase the size of the company name, tagline and swoosh relative to the O icon so that all the letters in "outperform" look about the same size. Use the same font for the O, if possible, in the icon as you use for the rest of the letters in the company name.
#336 is solid! I appreciate the better view and will certainly want the icon to stand alone in some cases. I've discarded #337 and #338, though, and am keeping your #312 (a separate design) ranked in the top 10. #336 is pretty much exactly what I need, but I will ask you to make one additional revision to make the size of the O exactly the same size as the rest of the letters in the company name. I want to look at it that way, since I have always written the name of the company in small letters. You can prepare that design and submit it the next time I put you in first place. That's all I need you to do. In the meantime, I'll give the other designers final submission time and will get back to you prior to my Sunday deadline.
I think all of my designs are pretty much final. I would like one more edit to #336 from you.
I would still like to see the font size on the "utperform" to be the same "size" as the O in the icon. I want the "utperform" to be big enough that the top and bottom of the O in the icon and the "u" in the company name are on the same horizontal plane.
Thanks! It was worth seeing to rule it out. I like the O bigger relative to the rest of the name, so I'll keep #336. I think this is all the work I need from you. I am finished with the other designers as well and plan to take a day or two and give my top options some thought and then decide by Sunday. Thank you again.
Hi! Can you give me one more edit of #336? Make the icon to the left and include the whole company name "outperform" beside it. In other words, the icon will not be the O in "outperform" for this design.
Hi, and thanks! I think I've narrowed my choices to two...including your #359. The only thing about yours I'm trying to figure out is how it would look at an icon for web favorites, etc. The other icon I'm evaluating is more squared off, so it seems it would fit nicely into the square space those icons occupy in web favorites, etc. How would you envision I would use this icon for that purpose? Would it be "squared off" with a white or black background? Would it have a transparent background? How would that be done so that it keeps its look in those icons?
Perhaps like this... #364, #365... The icon is same exactly on white and black background... The only different is on the text flip the color with the background.... Please let me know what do you think about it... Thanks!
Your design was very well-done...and a tough decision between yours and the one I chose. Thank you for your work; it helped me have top-notch options. Austin
