Logo Designer
integrates symbol with the word, and shows a figure realizing a goal, also incorporates the sun symbol as suggested in your brief. Any feedback on my logo design would be great :)

#20 with thicker font was just what I was thinking, u mind reader! How about a bit bigger ???

Logo Designer
is this what you meant by a sky pattern? Initially I had clouds over all the letters, but it was too detailed and wouldn't look very effective if the logo had to be made a small size, so i just put it on the letters near the jumping figure, i like how the tall figure and the sun look like the stem and dot of the letter i. the simplicity of the design has a very professional feel.

I totally agree with you with the part that the simplicity of the design express more professsional feel...!
Great opinion, thanks!
your work is done with what I meant, but as you said, it now looks too friendly...
sorry about the extra work, but now I've got better image!

can you suggest other font? or maybe darker blue (although I like this color...)
They are nice, but somehow reminds me spa brand here in Japan...I want something different...

dont worry about the extra work, thats what logotournament is about, its hard when contest holders dont say what they like, this way we can make the kind of thing your looking for. I will work on it and see what i can do to improve it for you. and i also see how the logo is similar to that spa one i have a few ideas of how i could improve it.

i made this darker, and the darker blue looks a lot better, cleaner and professional. the simplicity means it could be reduced to very small sizes (such as for internet of facsimile) and there won't be loss of detail, i didn't put clouds in this one because it was too visually busy.

Client
Thank you for the improvement!
I like it better with this darker blue. I am happy that it has no clouds in it. Let's stick with it.
The font, I am not so sure yet with this...I want to have a bit more snobish feeling.
What do you think?

Logo Designer
thankyou for your feedback, i will make a few variations with different typefaces that i think will give a more sophisticated and established look to the logo and post them up! :)

Client
everytime I see these, I have slightly different feelings....
Please do not withdraw any of your work? I want to keep looking at and thinking till the end!

Logo Designer
i think this typeface has a very professional and clean feel to it, in addition to looking sophisticated the brand still looks approachable, the logo is simple conveying company name and also what they are about, all in the one word without too much embellishment. hope you like this version :)

Client
This is great!
I like it very much!
also I totally appreciate your exlanation for the work.
It nade what I wanted to say into language!
"sophisticated, still looks approachable", this is strongly important!

I have a question, does the slogan make sence to you?
"make your image, make it happen"

I feel excited to see the logo is getting closer and closer!
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
it does, but perhaps could be worded differently. does it mean like visualize your goal in your mind, and then realize it? i'm not sure what you could say in its place, i like that the word make is repeated, it helps it stick in your memory. i'm not sure. i will think about it at work today and see if i can come up with some slogan ideas. yeah any revisions to the logo you think you might like or would like to see, i am happy to submit, and if you liked multiple logos and i win the contest, i'm happy to send them all your way.

Just wanted to let you know that I started to think different direction...
Would you think and try to make that jumping figure more abstract?

I started to think what the figure could represent.
I dont want the look that can be too self enlighten, although realize do help develop and improving ourselves.
Because if self enlighten taste is too strong, it can be look cult and spritual in a way.
Realize is more based on the truth, action and things that you can control.
it is sort of the science which is the result of the study about human commnucation behavior and how our brain works.
do you know what I mean?
I adimit there is similar concept and I like spritual elements as I wrote in ,y brief, but the balance with business tone is very important.

what do you think??

thank you!
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
hey, yes i understand what you mean, there just needs to be more balance conceptually. perhaps if like you said i make the figure more geometrical that will work better and also seem more 'factual' in appearance. i think that idea would also work well too because the figure would then be even more similar to the font used which is more geometrical (Compared to the first fonts which were more rounded) ill make a new logo tonight and submit them tomorrow morning so theres time for more feedback and editing if need be. all this feedback is really helpful for me as a designer to (realize hehe) what your looking for and also beneficial for you in getting the logo you want!

Logo Designer
here is an updated version, the figure looks more solid and less organic in form, i think this moves away from the idea of spirituality. I didn't want to abstract the figure or make an abstract symbol as i felt when viewers look at the logo, they won't understand what is meant by the symbol, i had played around with using the sun symbol in blue but it didnt really communicate a message it was just an abstracted symbol, whereas with this human figure it is both instantly obvious what is meant by the figure (with or without the slogan underneath) and is also cleverly incorporated into the company name. I hope this is what you are looking for - I would appreciate any feedback you may have :)

i think this way it really has the link to self development, without losing the humanity of the company, and by the person being integrated into the word realize its like realize, will aid you, in realizing your goals, that is where i was heading with this new version (#87)
15 years ago
 
Client
Thank you for the update!
It looks better definetely, as you said the figure fits much better with this font style.
However, I need more time to give you feedback.
I feel not fully convinced with the figure yet, but I totally see you point and I agree.
I dont know why I am not prefectly happy.
Will get back to you asap!

Logo Designer
ok no worries, i will send in one with a slightly different figure - perhaps that will help! :)

Logo Designer
Hello, I further simplified the figure, it is now a more symbolic representation of reaching a goal. (It is reminiscent of steps that you follow to achieve the goal) It also is better integrated within the word realize. I made the slogan orange to work well with the sun symbol bringing the whole logo together as a cohesive whole. I hope you like it, to me this logo feels a lot more complete then all the others :)

Client
hey, Thank you for working hard!
#102 I like it the most :) I like it because it give me image that translating your mind into one clear goal (the sun symbol).
very nice :))
just a minor change request please.
Would you make the round less? Now it has 5, but I am thinking to down to 3.
It looks a bit busy there and a litte worm like...(cute one though! soooorrrry!!)

thanks a lot!

Client
Thanks!
1. I was thinking the circles get bigger toward the sun.
2. It looks fading away in grayscale version :(
Does it have to be non gradation in oder to solve this problem?
Then will it lose the solid effect that it has now?? :( ??

hmmmmm,


15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
yeah ill make one with circles getting bigger towards the sun, and the grayscale version will have to be a darker gradient is all, ill update that now and resubmit :)

reversed circles

Logo Designer
there is still a gradient in this one, but as it is darker it is more subtle. I think that has quite a professional feel to it though. And it will also show up well on fax's etc
