Thanks for your entries. I really like how you arranged the words. That's exactly what I was thinking. The more I look at #16, the more I like it, but it feels a little flat. Can you change the green to be more vibrant? Is there a place for an orange accent? (I'm really drawn to green, orange and gray like #6, #21, #19.)
I like the idea of #23, but I'd prefer a light background (the green I want would be just too much). At first I thought it was a plant because of the curlique/spiral. Maybe lessen the spiral and go with more of an outline. So using a lightbulb, the graphic element something like https://logotournament.com/contests/robert_tisserand #353 or #362?
I really LOVE these designs. #35 is my new favorite, clearly in the lead at this point. What I'd like to see: use text from #34 - practice in caps, insites exactly as it is (no dots on i's, point on the t). Use the light bulb/leaf graphic from #35. On all of this, would like gradient on color as if the sun/light is from the top or upper right. I'd like to see some variations in colors, using colors like in #6, #42 (green, orange, gray). I think #34 has too much green, but I really like how the fonts are. I wonder how we could do a #35/#34 combination and have the colors feel balanced?
Thanks for the updates. Getting much closer with #48, now just some fine tuning with the colors. I'd like to work in some yellowish orange, and not go quite so dark with the green at the dark part of the gradient. Some ideas: - have the base of the bulb in gray or orange (just saw your new posts, reading my mind!). I do like the base of the bulb not being green...
Colors - green lighter with a little more yellow, like #42, #19 I'm still not sure if "insites" should be in gray or green... If gray, a little cleaner/brighter, like #16. Or can you do a gradient like in #52? (should it be the same angle as the other gradients in the design, or do they usually contrast?) Does "PRACTICE" need to be in a dark color since it's so small? I find myself wanting contrast between PRACTICE and insites. I love the leaf bulb, and the way the words are written... it's just those darn colors...
I'll get back to you with different color and gradient options and I'll try to give you as much options as I can. The gradients only contrast when they're made up of the same colors, at least that's what I believe. I'll let you see for yourself shortly.
Thanks for posting those, I like that green color better. And the gold base actually looks much better than gray... Looking at it, what is your favorite/recommendation for the colors on the words?
to be honest I would go for the all grey lettering, because this way your mark on the left stands out and also the word 'insites' stands out but doesn't eclipse the mark. This way the logo is well balanced the message gets across to the audience. It's your final view that matters, but this is the way I see it and I really want to give you the best advice I can. Also, I will try to upload shortly a few different type choices with a subtle customisation so that your design is truly unique.
Thanks for your new designs Alex. #93 looks nice, but it's really close to something on my competitor's site. #68 and #69 are still my favorites, would like to just start refining them.
Ideas: Color: - green: change to more like #94 (today I'm realizing that the green in ours is really yellow) - text - I think you're right, let's go with gray lettering. Can "insites" be a touch lighter, and with a gradient or bit of a subtle shine? would like it to look less flat. Light bulb - could it have a bit of a shine, like #94 but more subtle? size - could the lettering be slightly larger in relation to the mark? The lettering might have to be lowered a bit - whatever works (or if this violates certain design principles, tell me).
It would be great to finish today and end the contest!
Let's work on the one you currently have ranked first. I'll apply the requests in your previous comment to that one (the ones that remain:) and we can build on that.
can you try one with the leaf just a touch higher and to the left in relation to the base? It seems to be too close and off center... okay, maybe not off center, but a touch too close.
I'll try different angles and shapes. It has to somehow match the shine on the leaf and base, I'm a 3D designer also and it probably would look better, because this way you have ONE virtual light source on the top right that shines on all elements of the logo. I'll submit right away.
Great. Those are my favorites, and now it's hard to decide! I think I like 105 the best because it's lighter, and the angle isn't distracting. Okay, or 108.
If you were to pick between 105-108, what would you choose?
Good. Now I just want to get feedback from a few people. How late are you available for messages tonight? I would love to be able to close the contest early.
