Paint & ARTLogo Design Contest

My submission...Paint & Art on bushed metal

(This comment references Entry #195)

Hey EastCoast Creative, thanks for your entries.

I quite like the font and the layout of the two words but i'm not feeling the brushed metal background, i quite like borders on some designs and the colours i'm steering towards are subtle reds or flourescent pink.

I like the paint splashes and the way you've wrote ART, but could you try some different versions please

It feels a little bit art and craft, i'm just not feeling the whole design togeather.

Sorry i cant be more specific with a direction for you to go in, but thanks for your input...Dave

design 2

by now your eyes must be getting tired of all those raged jagged grungy brush stroke designs, so lets giv'em a break....clean, crisp urban in design

design 3

Hello mate, yeah your right about my eye's, the worst thing is i've got to pick a winner from so many fantastic designs.

Sorry but I'm not feelin #469, i quite like #471, can you even up the & symbol so it looks square on, and make the ART a lot more bolder, i'm not feelin the font you've used. Also can you make the dot over the i in paint the same colour pink as the circle.

Lets see how that looks, Cheers.....Dave

2 updates one with motion the dot is bounced tot he centre circle

Yeah i like #484, i like the idea behind #483 but i dont think it's quite there. Can you try some different fonts please, i like it, but it feels a little to much like, times new roman.

Thanks for your input....Dave

the previous typeface is Clarendon

this one is Seagull

I have several more to upload

Thanks for the revisions, can you put in some reflections as well please...Cheers

update rather than a static reflection I've gone with a wet/oily surface

That looks cool, can you change the reflections to a straighter one, i'm not feelin the wavy effect.

I like the effect in the pink circle but not in the writing, can you give the highlight effect a more roundish look, as if it's flowing with the shape not just going straight across.

Thanks

, kinda figured you'd go back to grunge took..it's just not my style because grunge has limited life span...it's good for short term projects such as posters for special events that sort of thing....just not for branding with typeface...

I'n not fan of refections I added because you asked...

I havn't gone back to a grunge look, i agree with you, to much of that style looks tacky, which has been the problem i've had, trying to get that balance.

I liked the reflective highlight you did in the pink circle, i just felt it didn't look right, it didn't follow the natural curve of the pink circle. I thought the pink circle with the right highlight would be a feature to the image.

I like reflections, i'm not saying i'm gonna stick with them when the image goes onto the website, but it's easier to take them off than add them.

As for the fonts, just like women buying shoes i've gone back to the original #484.

Thanks

thats a hoot...that's like me and watches.lol...I could never afford 500,000 dollar watch but wow there are a few exquisite time pieces being made...

Sorry mate, thats not it, i was after the pink circle facing square on with a nice highlight and the font from #484.....Thanks

Hello again, after chatting with my web designers we all think #484 has the most potential for a long term logo, it's classy with the cleanest and sharpest look.

As your in the number 1 spot, could you do some more small changes to the design please, i'm really happy with the overall image, it's just that i really want to make a feature out of the pink circle with the & inside, only a reflective highlight showing it's a sphere, the same sort of thing as you have in your logo, then a little shadow underneath the pink circle.

I'm hoping this wont be a problem, speak to you soon.

Thanks for your work....Dave

(This comment references Entry #558)

Hey there, thanks for replying so soon, they are spot on, they are exactly what i'm lookin for, i really like #553, #557 and #558.

Thanks for that, thats my winner then, well one of those three. Just to clarify the winning bit, will i get all the different versions of #484 that you have just done, or do i just get, lets say #553. I'm asking this because until i actually see the design on a web page i'm not 100% sure of wot actually looks the best.

Thanks for your time....Dave
