On entry #53 would you be willing to remove the check mark on the i and capitalize the "L" in Life. Remove the ekg and the slogan, and make Pet the same color blue as the house.? Thank you!
Marco, We really appreciate all the work you have done to try to find the right combination of colors! The logo is absolutely great! Adorable! Really love the design. How difficult of a challenge do you think it would be using all the different shades of blue/green in the logo #53. Our group of opinion pool keep trying to lead us away from using the brown house. The #53 is more gentle I guess, less colors, but we are concerned about the day to day difficulty in getting the colors right with different printers, newspapers, etc. We have had blue issues in the past with our original logo and different printers getting the blues wrong.....Did you use common blends of colors? #53 has all the elements We like...
I will show you some variations with blue/green shades, also with one tone in different values. I have used brown in the house because is the color that reminds me to a pet skin :) but if the team don't like it I will avoid to use this color, no problem. I have a couple of ideas that I want to show you, so I will work in this variations right now.
For your information I have designed a logo with plain colors, no gradients or complicated blends. Also I can provide you Pantone color codes, so with this reference you can print the same color exactly in USA or China :)
I suggest you to always make a print proof with your provider before any printing work. There are many reasons because a color can change, for example monitor calibration (one of the most common) what you see in your monitor is not the same you will see in your paper, printer calibration, color mode file (CMYK-RGB).
Hope this info can help you. I think we also can design a one tone version for specific purposes, it would help you with the issues of a full color version logo in different printers. Remember that each printer have their own color scheme and printing system so this task is almost impossible, always is necessary to make little tweaks depending the printer, but dont worry we can take some cautions to make this work easier. I know this because I have worked for many years in a printing studio.
Sorry for the extension of my message, I will prepare the revisions now...
The concept of my proposal is to communicate: #114
House: Protection - Moving tail + hearts: Happiness, care - Dish: Food - Cross: Health
I am thinking about include some animals shapes in the negative space of the house, but a detailed logo could not work in reduction, for example in a favicon for your website.
Thank you so very much for all this work you did! And for the discussion of the printing difficulties in colors. I will be sure to obtain color codes for any final image! Your logo is beautiful!
I have checked all the contest entries and a designer already used this concept in entry #33 it could be a problem for me to use this because I dont want to break the rules but I already have contacted him to allow me to use his concept, I think is just a little detail in my design so he can help us, if not I will find a creative way to include leaf in the design don't worry. Hope you can understand the situation.
Marco, We really love this design, but our group is probably going to go in a simpler direction. The concern is that when shrunken down for things like small business cards and uniforms, it will probably be hard to see or understand much of the detail.
If we are allowed to ask, we would like to discuss purchasing your design for other uses in our business. Perhaps we will have a mural drawn on the wall in the store, etc. Is this allowed here? If so, please let us know how to contact you to discuss this and the price.
Oh its ok :) I am happy because I gave my best for your project although I not won. For sure if you are interested please drop me a PM I can't send you private messages until you contact me first to give you more details.
Thanks advance, it was a nice experience to work with you.
