Thanks for these entries - I don't like the grunge/woodcut effect. This logo needs to be clean, strong, and bold, not textured or grainy.
Also the arrow needs to be the main creative element so #66 and #67 do not work for me. #65 embeds the arrow and as the brief mentions, I really need the arrow to be separate from the words.
Another round? The brief has some good direction in it - please review and I'd love to see more of your ideas.
#305 - #309 These are a little too sterile/corporate. On the other hand, I LOVE the arrow in #301 #303 #304 and I'm also very intrigued by the Sharpie style magic marker on the word RED.
Let's keep working those ideas... Would love to see the arrow more "filled in" on the stem and the lower portion of the arrowhead. The "look and feel" of sketching on a whiteboard is very powerful to me. Not sure if it would look best with raw strokes or a more refined look. Perhaps try some of each.
Thanks for changing it up - eager to see the next round. Appreciate your patience and good ideas.
#313 Good direction - but it looks a bit too much like blood.
Let's neaten up the arrow - less of a "bloody" trail on the arrow and fewer jagged edges on the arrowhead.
And let's try a font that harmonizes slightly better with the word "Red" in marker - my favorite is Akzidenz Grotesk but you may have several different ideas to get a more cohesive visual between the marker style and the word ARROW.
