There is a visual and verbal play on words here: 'Pulse' the coaching organization is with you every step of the way toward success, one's own (accelerated) pulse is also with you ever step of the way, and performance is also with you every step of the way (thanks to your organization, of course).
Thanks Retro M, I like the slogan. Ca you change the font, and see what other way we could display the PP or the pulse? sorry for the lack of feedback, will see what else in the morning. thanks.
New idea - two letters P making up a pulse - still suggestive of partnering as in my previous design, as well as activity, performance, effort, etc.. Also simple, iconic, versatile in terms of layout possibility and across media. The graphic device would look great as a stand-alone embroidered on one side of a ball cap or a t-shirt, etc. Single colour and line thickness make it a breeze for production.
I see the idea and its good but #32 looks too much like a paper clip, but i see your concept, i like #33 more and maybe refine it, characters or PP more.....it has to clearly represent what it supposed to. #17 and #18 i also like and think we can do more with this. Keep it up its getting there. thanks. Font can be better.
starting to like #33 more, can you do different color backgrounds, just to see how it looks and what colors will be use, also try different font again, not that i dont like the font on #33 but want to see how it would look. Can you also change the logo a tiny bit, see what else you can come up with..thanks
re #33 - I'll experiment and see if I come up with something I like better, but I'm glad you like it (and that I left it standing as is. It feels pretty good to me - suggestive on first glance and has a nice 'aha' factor to it too. And it's very practicle in terms of application). Cheers, Steve.
Yes goes good with many colors,but still need the symbols to represent more instead of just cool, need to display PP better or fitness.....still needs more
I'm still thinking but have to say that I'm pretty commited to this ( #33 ) mark. To me it says fluid motion in its many forms. Because of the ambiguous/abstract approach, the mark can be used across the various aspects of your business without limiting the viewer's perception. It does this while retaining the core concepts of pulse and your company's initials. I also see partnering and helping hands, one gripping another. I think next I'll play with fonts for a bit...:)
re. #33 - yes, I'll post one without the circle. (The reason it's very "standard in logos", as you say is that it's concidered to be the most 'stable' shape - it objectifies what it contains, it establishes a 'figure/ground' relationship, it allows for portability across layout options, it looks substantial, etc, etc. But I will post some options with new fonts and without the circle. Stand by...:)
I'm not sure if you realize it, but once you have the artwork in hand, you will be able to break out the graphic device from text for use on its own. So, for example, in #77 you would have both icon and text and be able to use them together as I have done or separately.:)
Oh i did not know that, thanks for the advice. not keen on #82 too plain and common but i see what you mean, can you work on #54 and #78? try to make it look more sporty or come up with something similar, still needs work.
No thanks, those approaches seem less slick than I imagine your branding to require. #98 is ok but a bit vertical , generic, and and too specific and #62 says audio to me. So, I guess I'll leave things as is (and shoot myself in the foot, perhaps, but while trying to meet your needs, I have to reconcile my work with my own sensibilities.:)) Cheers and good luck with the contest.:) And while I'm about the business of shooting myself in the foot, another designer's wordmark design , my fav after my own, is slick but every time I look at it I feel a thumbtack in my heel.
I couldn't resist one more kick-at-the-can. This one's in keeping with my overall approach and uses the same core element but makes reference to the fact that you coach in three area (with three principal coaches?).
Thanks sorry for late reply, which design where you referring this comment to "And while I'm about the business of shooting myself in the foot, another designer's wordmark design , my fav after my own, is slick but every time I look at it I feel a thumbtack in my heel. "
Ok i agree with doing your own ideas and starting to look at #62 like audio....see what you mean with #120, #121,#122..others are thinking about it and get back to me in meantime can you place a Pulse in there? Maybe within the pulse word? wondering how it would look.
As before but with a sort of lightning rod leading from you guys (the coaches) to the accelerated heartbeat of those you coach (the pulse). Also enhancements to the graphic device and adjustments to the 'Pulse' font - as a wordmark stand-alone I think that would look good too.
