Thanks for your entries! If you could work with #15 for me, I've uploaded a pic called "Anastasia S" - her pose on the pole, plus I have uploaded two more hoop poses ("lyra" and "hoop 3") which I would prefer as bases for the figures (you can choose which one you prefer, i like them both). Then if you could switch the pole to the bottom, and hoop up the top, then bend the text so it is taller at each end - almost like it is creating a sphere itself at the sides, with the hoop creating the top of the circle. Does that make sense? I think this definitely has potential....
#17 - I revised the text curve, and changed the poses of the figures, per your feedback. There's a bit of distortion in the word "PANDEMONIUM' that I'll work on correcting. Just wanted to get this in front of you to see if this is what you meant in your comments.
I really see potential here, thanks for the quick revision!
I was envisioning the curve underneath as well as on top in the word "Pandemonium", so that would also give an upward curve to the "A Journey through Pole and Aerial Artistry" line. And then perhaps "rounding" out the P and the M on the sides so it follows the curve of a circle. Maybe even extending the leg of the "P" and the last leg/stroke of the "M" to further emphasize the circle shape?
Once the basic shape is established I would like to see Pandemonium written with a different font, maybe a little bit less "blocky", something a bit more interesting. Also the tag line I'd like to see in a different font (something a bit scripty like in #16 could work). And then the colour I would love to have a bit of diversity, add a bit more of a colour palette. However, I can see through those things for now, if you could make the change to the shape of the text to see how that comes up, it would be great!
I also noticed that the "pole" is directly in line with one of the legs of the "M" - what about extending that leg to make it as though the pole is coming from the letter?
#19 - I curved the top and bottom of the the word "PANDEMONIUM", and curved the outside of the P and M. I also introduced another color into the palette.
I'm working on other font and color options as well.
I like the direction this is going - though I'm not really mad on the color palette with green and pink. But I think that will be an easy fix.
What I would love to see is the figures not quite so "block silhouette" - is there any way of making them more brush lines so the figure is obvious but they have a little more "texture"?
I really think your design has potential so even though I haven't had many submissions, I'm pretty confident we can take this to the end.
However, I still think it will need a couple of revisions.
I had an idea of pretty much the whole logo in gold, with highlights as though there is a light source shining onto it. Perhaps encircle the whole thing with an oval/sphere shape and make the background dark/black/charcoal. The figures would be gold but with "shine" highlights as though they are little gold 3D figurines.
Could you do this with #25, leaving the font as is - once we get that visual maybe we could look at a different font - but with shine highlights the original font may even come up nicely....
I just stumbled across some font that I think could look good... although if you could make the above changes first so we can avoid too much reworking.... but I uploaded it into the brief for you to have a look at just in case it inspires you. I think the file is called "The last carnival".
Oh that is beautiful! It's come up a treat! I will get a friend to look over it to see if she recommends any other alterations, and also will ask a few friends about which version they prefer (more/less contrast in the background) but I'm very happy with it. I think you're on a winner here Pam :) great job!!! xo
So glad you like it. Here's another background option, #32, a subtle purplish glow behind the figure in the ring.
If you like that look, but prefer a different color for the glow, just let me know. I'm willing to provide whatever color option you might want to see.
I'm leaning towards the classic black, as I think it will have a broader application - however, is there any way you could send me the most recent purple one too once the competition is done?
I'm happy to announce you winner and finalise it all!
