If you'd like to see any revisions during the contest or after it goes into judging, just post a comment here or send me a private message. Fonts, colors, etc. Thanks for considering my designs.
This is in reference to #168 , #169 , #170 , #171 .
I didn't need to make any color changes to the underlining icon, except for the drop shadow underneath it, which I could give or take to be honest. I don't think the design needs it. I put together two versions... one with flat black and one with a faint light source behind everything. Both work fine so it's really up to your personal preference. The nice thing about it is it's the exact same as the white background version.
Now, on #172 I did enlarge the thickness of the outer shell which I think looks more realistic and I slightly altered the coloring and bevels. However, it also works on white without any additional alterations as seen in #173.
Let me know what you think. You can leave me a note here or send me a private message by clicking on my name.
I had uploaded a couple versions with a sample usage of your tagline and website addresses. I kind of like the implementation of them with this logo. Even if you're using the logo at a small resolution (like the resolution used on this site) it still looks authentic. At normal resolutions it really rocks.
So I'm including the whole series with the tagline, if you decide against it it's an easy thing to omit them. I'm also including a grey scale version as I have a feeling you're going to want to see that.
I'm doing the highlight on the black background as well. Again, it's also easy to omit and go straight solid black.
Remember, the white and black background versions contain the EXACT same icon, with no modifications to it in terms of color, intensity, etc. It's nice to not have to switch color around and have an icon that works wherever you put it.
