I really like the font used here (in fact, it may be my favorite so far). However, we need to work on the size and placement of the shield. It feels too big right now. Could you make it smaller and then also play around with alternative placements (left or right)?
Congrats... you are currently ranked #1! I really like the font and the shield is balanced much better. Can we try taking the "effects" out of the shield and just have it be a simple uniform look with the color? I wouldn't mind the entire shield having a rounded effect (like a real shield would be rounded), but the gradient colors will make it more difficult to print.
The other thing that might be good to experiment with (since we have a little time) is the pointed "blade" effects on the ends of the letters. Could you experiment adding it to the bottom of the "S" and (other leg of) the "A" and then the lowest right leg of the "R?" I am just curious what some variations of that effect might look like.
Yes... I am liking it better. Let's leave the "bladed" ends on both ends of the "S," just the right leg of the "A," all ends of the "E," and just the right leg of the "R."
Also, could you try and extend the right legs of the "A" and "R" down a little (so they are below the line just a bit)? Just curious how that would look.
#146 was what I was looking for...but I wanted the other legs to be the bladed legs (you did left legs, and I wanted right)... could you switch them? Thanks!
Thanks so much for your creative ideas. Contest ends in 11 hours, so if you have any final ideas, please make sure you submit them prior to close of contest.
Entry #159 - Could you put the "bladed" tales back on the "S"? Also, could you give a shot at adding some effect to the shield (i.e. beveling, or making it look rounded like a shield)?
