Very interesting design. I like the sizing and layout of the name and I like the concept and look of a logo on the left, including the use of a circle and the two colors. I would, however, prefer some image other than a fork in the circle since the logo will hopefully not be limited just to the restaurant part of the business. Maybe you could also do a couple of variations, maybe trying to also incorporate purple in one (but still limiting the overall logo to just two colors). Many thanks.
Regarding #5, I like #7 and #13 better for the reason previously indicated (ie, regarding the fork in the circle).
Regardinng #7 and #13, the white space in the circle on #7 seems more crisp. Of these two, I like #7 a little better.
If possible, could you please do a variation or two of #7, maybe trying the circle with just 3 pieces rather than 4 pieces in it, with a green circle around it and maybe with the stylized swoosh on the first A on the other two As in Panacea?
Regarding #16, I like this variation of the design from #7, but would appreciate a further variation in which the center strip in the logo is green and the exterior circle is blue (as in #7) and in which the two outer stripes in the circle logo are a little thicker and wider at the base, maybe also with a slight curve as in #7. Also, with respect to the stylized As in Panacea, in the revised version, please use the version of the stylized A from #17 and only on the last A rather than on all 3 of the As in Panacea. Finally, in the revised version, please also add a little more spacing between the two lines in the name.
Regarding #17, I really like this design. The negative space in the logo (the green space) doesn't seem to overwhelm the positive space (the blue arrow) and I like combination of the blue arrow with the green space that sort of looks a little like a P for Panacea. Please add a little more spacing between the Panacea line and the line with Capital Advisors, Inc.
Regarding #18, I really like this design as well...it's simple and elegant. At this point, we should keep this design on hold for comparison. Not yet sure, but I think I may prefer this design but with one of the circle designs included.
Regarding #13, it's essentially the same as #7 (which I continue to like) but the "white" space in the circle design is a little dingy looking to me as compared to #7 (which is more clean and crisp looking).
Regarding #22, it's a very nice design, but the growing plant may be more appropriate for a business other than a professional investment firm. I do like angle and direction of the swoosh on the stylized A.
Regarding #26, it's also an attractive design, but the abstract celtic knot looking image is a little too complex looking and I don't see the connection of this image to the message I would like to convey. As with #22, I do like angle and direction of the swoosh on the stylized A.
Many thanks for all the variations so far...much appreciated.
Well, I just lucky find good CH who have use so much time to give designer any further directions. It's worthy especially for me and I really appreciate it so much!
I'll be back as soon with newest design based on your latest suggestion. I hope do the best for you. Thanks so much - Naura
Many thanks for the additional designs...these are very helpful in assisting to get closer to a final design.
Regarding #50, #51, #52 and #53, while I really like each of these, on closer inspection, I'm concerned that the circle in each of these looks a little too much like an insect's face.
I also really like the new design logo in #54 and #55 (although in #55, I'm not crazy about the star at the top...it gives the design a little religious feel that I'm not trying to convey).
If possible, I would like to see a final variation or two on #54...(a) please show one with the name using all caps for Panacea but initial caps with lower case other letters on Capital Advisors, Inc. (as in #50 and #51) and another variation wtih the name using all caps for Panacea and large/small caps for Capital Advisors, Inc. (as in #52, but with the "I" in "Inc." using a large cap rather than a smaill cap) and (b) please see if you can make the design part of the logo look a little more like a stylized P for Panacea (maybe by shifting the circle part of the design slightly to the right so that the 3 prongs going up are a little offset to the left and then also maybe angle the circle part so that it it's a little higher on the right and a little lower on the left...let's go with a subtle look for the P shape rather than trying to make it really look like a real P), and (c) finally, please add a little more spacing between the line with Panacea and the line with Capital Advisors, Inc.
I really feel like we are getting close to a final design...many thanks for all of your work to perfect a design.
Many thanks for all of the interesting designs that you have provided.
At this point, I'm most interested in your item #66. So that I can make my final selection in the next 24 hours, I would very much appreciate it if you could please show me a few final variations of #66: (a) show a version with Capital Advisors, Inc. in upper/lower case rather than inital caps, (b) add a little white space at the top of the 3 vertical stripes so that the stipes don't touch the oval, (c) make the oval a little more elongated, shifted a little to the right and raised just a little more on the right so that the design looks just a little more like a stylized P, and (d) make the Capital Advisors, Inc. just a little bit darker.
Again, many thanks for all of the wonderful designs.
#66 Update based on your latest request. And so do I, I thank you so much for all your great feedback so far. Help me so much get the right effort to do the best for your.
At this point, I like many of your designs, #82 is my favorite. One final request and one question...Please try #82 with a slightly smaller font on Capital Advisors, Inc. and please raise the whole symbol a little so that the text of the name is more centered vertically with the symbol. Regarding my question, how would I get the file...is it a fixed file or would it be in a format that I could play with coloring and scale for different purposes (ie, a larger scale on web site and a smaller scale on a business card)? Again, many thanks.
Please see my email from 3:20 this afternoon...I'm prepared to close with your #82 design as first place, but have a question and would appreciate seeing two minor tweaks. Do you expect to respond? Many thanks.
Update work, the symbol raised and Capital Advisors, Inc. on smaller fornt, thanks.
Anyway, you will accept EPS file besides JPEG files for the final files at the end. While JPEG file has fix size, EPS file can be stretched as big or small as needed. You can use EPS file later for all media in all size from name board to business card. However, I think I can help anytime you need the logo prepared on specific size. It doesn't consume too much time so I think you can get it for free. - Naura.
Sorry for the delay in responding...been distracted with a few urgent matters associated with setting up a new business.
Regarding your designs, I'm torn between #82 and #141. At the moment, I'm leaning towards #82, but (if possible) would like to see the logo raised a little (but not as much as on #141) so that it is a little more centered vertically with the name.
Once I make the final selection, can you please clarify what all you will send me...an EPS file or both a JPEG and an EPS file? Also, I'm still a little confused as to whether these files can be modified to fit on a business card and/or to fit on stationary?
Again, many thanks for all of your designs during the contest and for your patience during the final selection period.
To clarify, technically you will accept two final files later: 1. EPS file (high resolution) and 2. JPEG file (1000X800 pixel in size).
You can use one of them for both web design and business card as well. However, most designer prefer work with EPS file then JPEG file. So when you start to work with other graphic designer for web design or business card, I suggest you to give them EPS file instead of JPEG file.
Also, many thanks for adding the two variations to #82/#141. I'm travelling today but will get online this evening to try to finalize. Again, many thanks for all of your assistance.
At this point, I'm ready to finalize my decision...what I would like is the lettering on #82 with the logo (ie, the logo and the logo allignment) on #143. Please submit this final variation and I'll go ahead and approve.
This project is very important to me and the branding of my new business, and you have been very patient, accomodating and professional and a real pleasure to work with. Again, many thanks and I hope to be able to continue working with you on this going forward as the branding needs of my business develop.
#144 Update work, #82 on #143 allignment. Anyway, just to inform, forward whenever the contest complete, you can ask for standalone logo and letter as well, thank you.
