Thank you for your excellent works! After your entries, we received a wider range of decent designs from other designers. Your works definitely stimulated others.
Among #31, #32, #33, #34, and #35, we ranked #32 higher because the font style in #32 looks very unique and harmonizes with the abstract mark. We also value the sharp combination of color in #31, and #33.
A quick question to you: what is the meaning of the vertical pole in #31, #32 and #33?　Did you simply intend to make the abstract marks symmetry? We like the well-balanced symmetry style. At the same time, however, we are a bit afraid that the vertical pole (especially in #31, and #33) implies our business foundation is weak and going down...
Anyway, we really enjoyed your submissions. Looking forward to receiving more from you.
Hello! Than You for very accurate feedback and good ranking! Well, here is my explanation. Vertical pole makes marks symmetry, its true. Its Q, just not presented as usually, so it can be more interesting. Vertical stripe can symbolize razor or something like that.
Congratulations!!! As one of the top 5 designers, you have still time to re-submit your entries. Since we received more than 180 entries in the initial phase, it may take by tomorrow morning to rank below top 5 entries by order. Before the completion of reshuffling, please find the following instruction for your further modification:
1) Don't be a copy cat As you can see, each of the top 5 designers (so far, denzu, grafixsphere, Peter, amitdesigner, and Bramovic) delivered very unique and different concepts. We really appreciate your excellent sense and interpretation. Rather than looking at other designers' concepts and ranking, you had better listen to your power of imagination as well as our individual contact (if necessary).
2) We appreciate your brief explanation We love your designs. At the same time, however, we would like to hear meaning/concept behind the designs. Better explanation makes definitely your ranking higher.
3) Variation We need a variety of font styles and color combination. For your reference, please read the additional information below: Our target customers are mass affluent business professionals such as investment bankers, management consultants, globe trotters working for multinational companies etc. We would like to provide them out-of-the-box thinking opportunities while they are usually regarded as intellectual snobs :b They do not value web 2.0-ish or ubiquitous concept because they need something exclusive (i.e. extraordinary service for qualified members only).
Should you have any questions or inquiries for feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.
We have not said thank you for your great answers. We really appreciate your deep interpretation of our concepts.
It would be nice if you could combine aspects from all three entries:
#32: we like the abstract mark, but need an accent color. Also change the balance of the mark against the name line in terms of size.
#31: we like that kind of bordeaux color. Please use it as an accent, not paint the entire mark.
#33: we like the way of accent, comparing with #31. But the name line color is a bit too sheer, we prefer the name line color in #32, which makes our brand sharp.
