Dear ideaz99: - we really like your professional style and there are some promising logos there. - would you mind sending in some alternatives to the ones you have? then we'll review these asap to let you know what we like. 1. based on #61 till #65: - a couple of more color variations - variations where the P (instead of the middle N) varies in color, as the P stands for Promovendi (and PhD students). Perhaps one in darkish/pinkish red to signify the importance? - variations not using the blocks to the put the 3 characters in, and separating the text from the logo by a horizontal line? - maybe some variations in which you use the icon of that academic hat? so the academic characters comes across in the logo? perhaps 'hanging' the hat on the upper right or upper left rectangle (the P or last N)?
2. based on #66 and #67 - the right part of the logo we like, the left part not so much. maybe you could think of an alternative logo here? we like the idea of the two blocks, so even the left square block could be used separately. to be used separately, it may actually need the letters PNN and/or academic hat or network thing.
Hope we have not overwhelmed you with all the feedback...!
Dear ideaz99: Thanks for the updated logos. We appreciate the work you put in refining your initial entries based on our feedback.
Although nice on screen we made a decision not to use any gradients where they can be avoided (for printing considerations). However, don't worry about the gradient used in #95 and #96 - this is understandable and limited enough that it shouldn't impact the effectiveness when printed.
2 additional comments: - #90: actually, we thought about having no too many colors in the logo, so rather have the first P with red bg, and rest with black or white. - this is a concept we created 2 days ago: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364815/twoconcepts.png sorry about the not so straight lines on the dark/orange logo, I did that with Paint, but they were meant the be rectangled as well.
hope you'll find time to make some adjustments. many thanks!!!
And more feedback: - we also like #62 a lot! maybe you could experiment a bit by perhaps changing the orientation of the P rectangle? or/and: maybe instead of using a rectangle for that P, using an icon-like design of the academic hat instead of the rectangle? we really hope you'll upload some things, your logo's look very professional!
About #95 - we discussed this logo. Although we like it, some of us commented that the letters PNN are not clearly legible (one could mistake it for PVV). We seem to be a bit divided on this issue. So if you can make an alternate version with more legible letters we'd like to see it.
as to #223: - we like the concept very much - we don't think the details at the end of the 'tail' of the hat, remain very clear, so could you stylize that even further, by removing the little spikes? - the font that you've used is not very clear, could you maybe choose one that's a bit more common and professional? thanks!
hi, im sorry, hope you read the comment above. we really think there are too many details/thin lines/spikes in the hat, the 'tail' of the hat (dont know the name).
we like the font of #261! so could you work with that one and than change the 'end' of the thing that is attached to the hat? maybe using the solid bigger dot in the tail could stay, so it remains clear what it is. many thanks again!
Hope you'll be able to update it, sorry if our commenst were not clear! the hat itself is good, but the thing that is attached has too many details on all logos.. Please update, thanks!
