Thanks - will work on this tomorrow... by shine do you mean add gradients? or metallic look? that can be done but you still might want a flat color version for some applications.
I guess I'm thinking metallic??? If you don't mind just play with it and make some variations to it. My wife really likes the clean simple elegance of these logos. Great job.
To show on a metallic silver background... you can print on metallic cards or stickers ... it would be an option to glitz it up a bit... Also for your wearable choices we could do it in rhinestones! definitely would be different and attract attention!
Starting with a simple design you would find it to be more flexible as you use it on signage, promotional materials and more. As that is my primary business, we could help with that as well.
I hope I can extend the contest. It's kinda late and I'd like for you to have time to work on the variations. We are sure we want the shoe in red and the horizontal line in silver or grey that match the Keller Williams colors (section 4.0). The gradient is not really important. I did find out the "Keller Williams" in "Powered by Keller Williams" must be in a specific font per Keller Williams guidelines. (section 5.0)
I hope this link works for you it came from the Keller Williams intranet. If not send me your email address and I'll send the actual pdf.
We want it to look good on any background. I plan on using it on signs, web, clothing, keychains and business cards. I think that as long as the main elements are all there it will be recognizable anywhere.
Also I'd like to see what it looks like with redshoelisting.com on the logo in place of "redshoe listings". And on the final run I'd like to know what font we end up using.
How many variations will be supplied with the final selection?
You do not need to extend... in judging the #1 ranked designer can enter modifications.
OK I can work on this tonight I hope. I can get the official KW logo details and add later if it is their logo which we can't use on LT.
How it works - you pick the one closest to what you want. After that is approved on LT, I would send you all the elements and variations you might need.
I can also work with you on the printed and promotional materials you might need.
OK I was looking at the pdf for KW... I changed the font to Helvetica Neue as required...and the color red to PMS 200 but looking at the guidelines it seems that they don't really want you to have your own separate logo using a different font...
I am a bit confused by this because I know there are many KW agents who do exactly what you are doing to get their own unique branding...
But I am adding one version with their type font requirements... just in case. (I can provide all the files after the contest)
The PDF is a guideline for appearances. What is demonstrated with the logos is when someone wants to brand as a kw agent or market center/office. We are building a team within Keller Williams so the logos are allowed to be different. I'm not 100% positive on the font requirments when writing Keller Williams on our logo, I'm playing it safe so it won't cost me later.
My wife wanted to see what it looks like with "redshoe listings" above the line. Also let's leave the powered by Keller Williams on one line. I think it looks better.
I will upload the required files to LT ... once that one is reviewed and approved I can send you the others by email. Thanks. I hope to continue to work with you to provide any other printed materials and graphic support.
