Pacific Auto AutctionLogo Design Contest

I really like #28. It needs some tweaking. I'm not sure what it is but something. Perhaps its the font? Or maybe make one of the lines orange or silver or to break up all the blue? I'm not sure but i do really like it. It's modern and classic at the same time. It could be embroided on a polo shirt and work on a sign. Perhaps remove the very top line on the car and leave the one below it. I like the font for Pacific but make each letter a bit wider, stretch them just a little. I'd like to see your interpretation of something "pacific" to add to the car that represents the auction as well. Sorry if I'm rambling. I really like the design but i can't put my finger on what would take it from good great. Thank you so much for the submission!

#29 is a bit gaudy for me.

You're welcome and thank you for the input. I'll work on it and see what i can do to make it pop!

Hello,
I made the changes and gave you 2 revisions with the top and lower line you wanted removed. Let me know what you think and we can move on from here.

Thanks again!

Anthony-

I like the Non-bold font better. I also like that font But i would like to see something else...I have noticed that I like the DUCATI font and here's a sampling of others I like. I rather like the newer Chrysler fonts as they are wide and low. I also like some of the classic looking fonts. Feel free to play with some different colors. I LOVE this in black and white but I can't have a black backround for my signage and printed on shirts.

You got it! I'll check out that font and put another revision together for you. I'll work with you until you're content!

Thanks again!

Anthony :)

I just extended the top 5 for another day. I bumped another guy out of the top 5 to see what you have got. I like your design and I want to see what you have to offer.

Thank you, i appreciate that! Did you want me to build off of what i have or come up with something new?

Anthony-

I'd like to see both. I have a lot of faith in your talents given your portfolio. I think you just got screwed on the available time.

Thank you, i appreciate that!

I'll see what i can come up with for you.

Anthony :)

Ok, change of pace here. How do you like this revision?

Anthony-

Here is what I really liked about your first design...

Its a modern design with an art deco feel to it. It was extremely different from the other guys. I liked that.

The lines were very "shodo" ish, the text was very 1930's it was very different from what the other offerings were. THAT is why I pulled you into the top 5. Don't copy the other guys. I would have ened the contest instead of extending it if that had been exactly what I wanted.

Ok, i'll refine what i had previously created. I appreciate your honesty, help and insight!

Thank you!

Anthony-

Ok, i used the retro font that you listed. let me know if this does any better.

Anthony-

Now we're talking! that's what I envisioned when I saw your original design. Would you mind playing with the drawing of the car a bit. Vary the thickness of the lines a bit or break up some of the symmetry. Perheps the wheels could be a little less "perfect circle" or maybe try some of those lines with the japanese brush look (I think I sent you a copy of what I'm talking about in the last post) I'm not sure what would do it but it's definitely on the right track now.

Thank you!

If you take a look at my portfolio, i have some other cars there with various line thicknesses. I can make this car resemble the lines like those?

Anthony-

I like the lines on the one you did for me better. I like the more abstract look.

Ok cool, i'm on it!
