First of all, thank you very much for your great work!
We really love the font and typography you are using!
The font and typography you used is great :D! The logo is great, but we want to see more icons from you :)! Only 9 hours left, but can you also design some icons for Photocoat? We want to see more options from you! And it would be great if you can make it creative and unique, and please express "filter effect" more!
Again, thank you very much and we are looking forward to your future updates :D!
First of all, thank you very much for your hard work and for submitting a lot of great designs :D! The contest progress changed from "Open" to "Top 5", so we have updated our ranking!
Here is our general feedback for you:
Our investors suggested few things regarding logo and icon design. Since Photocoat will be targeting millions users of 8 billion on Facebook, we want our logo (identity) to be loved by millions of users. In other words, if the logo is gaudy and flashy, only 10% will like our logo. On the other hand, if the logo is minimal and simple, 90% will like our logo.
Here is further details of a logo and an icon we want:
1) Minimality and Simplicity Please keep our logo minimal and simple, not complex! If you design a complex logo, our story and our message will get fuzzy. Keep it minimal and simple.
As you can see in the website above, their logos are very minimal and simple. But at same time, has a lot of creativity and idea hidden!
2) Colors Please use only 1 or 2 colors. We are seeing logos using red, yellow, green, and blue, but that looks like Microsoft! But dont use blue like Facebook, because our logo will not stand out on Facebook's design. Please use color wisely!
3) Fonts and Typography Please don't just use Helvetica. Anyone can make a typographic logo like that. Please be creative with fonts and typography!
As you can see, Facebook's logo is all about typography. Please focus 90% of your design on typography. Ultimately, typography will affect how the logo will look.
4) Icon
We are also asking everyone to include an icon for Photocoat. Please design a minimal icon with a lot of expression about "filter effect". We have no rules regarding designing an icon, so please be creative freely! But please remember that the icon will be "the face" of Photocoat's Facebook Page, so please make sure the icon will look very good in Facebook Page!
Again, we are looking forward to seeing what kind of creative and awesome minimal logos you will design! And remember, please focus a lot on minimality and typography! We have only 2 days left until the contest is finished, but we are looking forward to your updated works ;)!
First of all, thank you very much for your submitting such a wonderful logo!
We really like your logo #242! We ranked your logo to rank No. 2!
Here what we want you to do:
1) Try different colors! Since blue is Facebook's color, maybe it would be great if you can use different colors. Try using color other than blue, because blue is Facebook color and our will not stand out on Facebook. Please use color wisely!
2) Changing the "P" Can you try designing a "P" like #171? But please don't change your font and typography, because we really like the font and typography on your logo! Just try the idea of "P" on #171, and we want to see how it will turn out!
2) Please design an icon! We also want you to design an icon for Photocoat. Please design a minimal icon with a lot of expression about "filter effect". We have no rules regarding designing an icon, so please be creative freely! But please remember that the icon will be "the identity" of Photocoat's Facebook Page, so please make sure the icon will look very good in Facebook Page!
First of all, thank you very much for submitting your updated works! We really like what we are seeing :D!
"Fonts and Typography" And it would be great if you make the fonts more simple and minimal
"Typographic Idea" We really liked the typographic idea for "p" on #242, so maybe you can add that to your design. We really like when designers get creative with their fonts and typography, so please submit more cool typographic ideas ;)!
"Color" Since it is difficult for us to see which color will look on Facebook (blue), it would be great if you can give us multiple color options!
"Icon" The icon looks very good when it is with the logo, but we will probably not use the logo and the icon together, so it would be great if you can design an icon that will look by itself :)! Please show us multiple ideas for icons!
Again, thank you very much for your updated work, we are looking forward to your future updates ;)!
First of all, thank you very much for your work #254 and #255 :D!
We actually prefer #242, so maybe you should stick the concept of #242! #254 and #255 looks pretty complex, so we like #242 better.
For the next update, try changing the color of #242 or try different fonts/typography! Keep the concept of #242, because we really like it, but we also want to see variations. We want to see different colors and fonts/typography, so please show us some multiple options :)!
And it would be also great if you can include an icon next time ;)!
Again, thank you very much for your updates, and we are looking forward to your future updates :)!
First of all, thank you very much for updating your design :D!
After looking at some of color options, we still prefer #242! We (and our investors!) are really satisfied with #242! It's really simple and minimal, we LOVE it!
If it is possible, we want to see more typographic ideas. By typographic ideas, we mean ideas like how you designed "p" on #242. We want to see more of ideas like that! Would it be possible for you to show us some other typographic ideas to express filter effects?
Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness :D!
"Logo" Since it is difficult to decide which color fits, we want you to focus on typography. When designing our logo, please "design your new and best, simple and original font". Typography will affect the outcome of the logo most, so please create an original font :D!
"Icon" For icon, please remember that icon will be used for Facebook Page. Icon is not a logo mark, and it is icon for application. Maybe it would be easier if you try to design an iPhone app icon :)! We also need an icon, so please include an icon :D!
"Logo" We want more variation on typography, so please show us a lot of options for fonts/typography! Don't just use Helvetica or normal fonts, we want simple but with uniqueness!
"Icon" For an icon, please don't make the motif or the concept "P". We want the icon to NOT be typographic, so please make the concept more focused on "photos" or "filter effects". Please don't use "P" in our icon!
Again, thank you very much! Let's make the last 20 hours a good one ;)!
First of all, thank you very much for you hard work! We have 10 hours to go, but we are really excited to see your masterpiece until the last minute :D!
We want you to play around with font/typography more! Try to "Be simple, but playful."
As you can see, the logos above are simple, and is focusing on typography. But at same time, it has playful design, without losing the simplicity. (They also have simple and playful icon!)
Please stay simple, but play around with typography! Add sense of fun and playful spirit to our logo and icon :)! Again, "Be simple, but playful."
After discussing with the team, we have decided that your #308 is the best one! And we have ranked #308 in the Number 1 spot!
We want to make you the winner, but we want you to fix the "P" in #308 before. Currently, the "P" in #308 looks like an eyeball, so we want you to redesign it to make the "P" look more like a camera.
Since we don't have very much time, it would be great if you can update the design as soon as possible!
Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness :)!
First of all, thank you very much for your reply :)! We are very very very happy with your works, and we will make you the winner of this contest ;)!
As I said, it would be great if you can redesign the "P" of #308, so that the "P" will look more like a camera.
Also, it would be great if you can also redesign the "p" of #243. We love the simple and minimal design of "p" in #243, but we also want to see what kind of simple and minimal "p" you can design ;)!
We love both of your work, but that's why we don't know if we should pick #308 or #243! We love the creativity in #308, and we also love the simplicity and minimal design of #243! So it would be great if you can give us updated works for #308 and #243 :D!
The new "P" looks more like a camera, and it look very good on #326, #327, and #328! And thank you very much for posting #330, it is very easy to see the new "P" :)! And thank you very much for designing a lot of variations (fonts, different "P", etc.)! Your hard work is helping us see a lot of options :)!
(1) When looking at #329, we really like the balance the little "p" is creating in the logo. Do you think it would be possible to try to change the big "P" in #326, #327, and #328 to little "p"? In other words, it would be great if you can change the design of the big "P" in #330 to little "p", and try to combining it with "hotocoat". We want to see how the whole logo will look, when change the big "P" to little "p"!
(2) For #329, would it be possible to show us different shape of "p"? We want to see other ideas other than changing the color of the font :D! It would be great if you can redesign the "p" in #329, so we can see other ideas ;)!
Again, thank you very much, and we are looking forward to your further updates ;)!
First of all, thank you very much for your great updates ;)! We really love #308, #326, #327, #328, #330, #331, #332, #333, and #334!
It would be very nice if we can see other fonts/typography options in #308, #326, #327, #328, #330, #331, #332, #333, and #334! We really love your works listed above, but we would like to see more options before selecting 1 from your works!
Sorry asking for so many updates, but as we said, we have decided that you will be the winner of this contest, so please don't worry! We just want to see other design options, so we can pick the best possible logo/icon from you!
Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness!
First of all, thank you very much for your updates :)!
We like your #337 and #338, but we prefer #243! Maybe it would be great if you can design different kind of "p" for #243. We like the font/typography of "hotocoat" in #243, but we would like to see different kind of "p". Maybe you can try different kind of "peel-like" design or express "filtered effect" differently.
Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness!
First of all, thank you very much for your your updates!
After looking at your updates #340 and #341, we still prefer #243 :)! It would be great if you can try to design different kind of "p"! The new "p" in #340 and #341 looks okay, but we want more originality :D! Again, please try to make the "p" in #243 more cool and awesome!
Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness :)!
First of all, thank you very much for your your updates!
We really like #243, but it would be great if you can design different "p" :)! Since thousands and thousands of users will look at the logo, we want more uniqueness and originality :D! Again, please try to make the "p" in #243 more cool and awesome!
Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness :)!
Thank you very very much for updating our logos :D!
We love your design concept including: #243, #341 #345, and #351! Let's stick with this concept :D!
We were wondering if you can change the "c" in the designs above. Other letters are circular, but the "c" looks crooked. So it would be great if you can try to balance the "c" with other letters, so that the whole logo will have great balance :).
And finally, it would be great if you can also design an icon for us :). The icon will be "the face" of our Facebook page, and thousands of people will view the icon. The design should be square with rounded corner (shaped similar to iPhone app). Please include an awesome looking icon :D!
We have 1 more day before the contest ends, but let's make great logo and icon! Remember, thousands (and possibly millions) of users will see your logo, so please make it best as you can :D!
First of all, thank you very much for updating the logo :D!
We are very happy with the new "c", and thank you very much for providing us two options! Providing us with multiple options is really helpful, so thank you very much :D!
If it is possible, it would be great if you don't use "p" as a concept of our icon. If it is possible, please try to express filters of "filter effect" and/or photos :). Logo will be expressed by alphabet and fonts, but we want the icon to be expressed by shape and pictures.
We are looking forward to your updated icon :D! Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness ;)!
First of all, thank you very much for designing icons :)! We are very happy to see two different types of logos!
We love #359, #360, #361, and #362! Do you think it would be possible to change the yellow to slightly red? Not a strong red, but slightly red ;).
If it is possible, we would like to see more different icon design from you, so if you have time, please show us what you can do until the contest finishes!
Since today is the last day, I will be in front of the PC the whole day, so I will try to reply to your design as soon as possible ;)!
Again, thank you very very very much zhukorn, we love you :D!
First of all, thank you very much for your lightning fast update! We are very happy to see you posted a lot of new updates :D!
We like the shape of #362. #362 has "peeled-effect" to express "filtered effect", which is what Photocoat is all about ;)! We were wondering if you can change the yellow in #362 to orange (somewhere between yellow and red). And we love the camera lens in blue like #366, so please change the lens color to blue :D!
Again, we have only about half day, so please try to show us more design variations :D!
First of all, thank you very much for your update :)!
We love #371, and I believe this is the best one so far ;)! Do you think you can redesign the icon, and try to express more about "filter effect"? I think the camera design is expressing camera a little strong, when Photocoat is about filter effect. Maybe you can try and focus on filter effect, and let's see how the icon will turn out ;)!
As I said earlier, you will be the winner, so it would be great if you can try to give us your best logo/icon that you can design in the last few hours :D! Again, thank you very much for your time and kindness :D!
