Hi,

Concept spider inside the red rack with an 8 ball abdomen. Sporty font, cure for dividers.

Good evening Intrepid,

Thank you for you design. Could you please modify a couple of things to see how it looks?
I would like to see the spider a little smaller inside the triangle to allow the spiders legs to straighten out in a normal alignment. I don't really like the look of the curled up legs. I absolutely love the use of the pool sticks as underlining accents in the lettering. Also love the sporty font.

Can you try making the eight ball a little smaller and placing it inside a small triangle on the spiders back? For example, having the small rack on the spiders back with a smaller eight ball inside the little rack.

Can you try making the tips of the spiders feet light blue in one concept and making the blue chalk tips on the pool sticks a little more prominent/ visible?

Also, really liking the simplicity of the design overall!!!

Thank you for your hard work.

Hi - I can try the spider inside but frankly it comes off as wimpy. The spider overwhelming the rack seems a bit more 'fear no rack'.

And I'm wondering if the red / green is too christmas.

Oh, I agree that the spider hanging over the rack is a good look. You may be right about the Christmas look. I am getting team mates opinions today and will update you after that......but I like the design very much.

Amazed at how much I like your last design. You have only submitted 2 designs and your concept is very much what our team is looking for.

We play tonight so the whole team is going to discuss and rate the designs before the games.

Can you please try a design with the "fear the rack" in the same color blue as the cue stick ends? Just would like to see it before the team decides on a design. That also may break up the Christmas look.

If you do the fear the rack in blue, also try the Racknophobia in Red, again just to see how it looks. Thank you for your designs

Hi, I had to switch computers and I need to reinstall everything and so am behind in being able to meet your request. Please let me know if I am being considered enough to make the changes. Otherwise...have a great contest.

Unfortunately for you, the team likes your #76 the best of all designs. I guess it depends on your ablility to complete your obligations in this contest as to whether we continue to consider your design or choose another. Please let us know if you will be able to get your computer up and running in time to make appropriate changes by final judging.

Thanks,

Ok, since I haven't heard back from you, I have to assume you are not interested in competing in this contest. Your design was #1 waiting for your revisions. I have moved you to #5 to be fair to the other designers who are in contact. Please let me know whether you intend to compete or not by tomorrow since the contest ends tomorrow evening. Your design is still the favorite, and with the revisions, most probably would be the winner. Need some feedback..............

Hi Tbac, Thanks for the message. I was just able to get back on track last night with my computer. Sorry about the lack of contact. I will get you a revision by the end of Top 5.

Quick question - is it 'Fear to Rack' or 'Fear the Rack'?

Logo Designer
I submitted a few revisions. I note that the full Fear text and the brush mark divider seemed to make it odd looking so I changed it to grey to keep the visual balance. Easily changed if your team prefers.

I played with a few colors.

I went to a darker ox blood type red similar to some pool tables - that definitely removes the christmas look but I am not sure if that's something you want.

#142 - went a fresh direction with the rack. Thought it might look cool in a triangle shape combined with the idea of a tangled spider web feel.

Please try a couple of your revisions with rachnophobia in red and the fear to rack in blue. I think the darker red may be a little too dark to show up on the black background. Is there a red in between the two? Also can you make the blue cue feet a little more obvious without distorting the design?

Thank you for submitting new designs.

And yes it is "Fear TO rack" I'm sorry I keep writing it wrong.

Uploaded a few more. I tried a 'cut' R and P for effect. Easily removed.

Sorry for the 'fuzziness' of the red - LT's compression with red is a bit off sometimes.

An - option - I tried another black that has a blueish tinge.

Personally, the white rack and text is a fav - it focuses on the red of the spider rack - http://3ef44ac2a814e81509fd-288404e13f895703cf2798bf6ae95228.r56.cf1.rackcdn.com/595152815627-223.png

Also like this one with the gray rack -same reason - http://3ef44ac2a814e81509fd-288404e13f895703cf2798bf6ae95228.r56.cf1.rackcdn.com/441352816429-223.png

Whatever you think. I can still play around with your suggestions.

Regarding the cure tips - it's quite hard to play around at the size of the smaller logo. You'll recognize it much easier when placing on a shirt etc.
