Whoa!!! Now we're talkin' COOL! I'll have a few comments, but let me ponder it for a while. Thanks for joining the competition!!! If you have any more ideas, keep 'em coming!
#76 -- how would something like this work on a white background?
This definitely gives the feeling of "power"! I love the 3D text, but I think the serifs in this font are making the center around the "T" look crowded. I'm not a big fan of serif fonts in general, but I do like fonts w/ some character. I wonder how it would work if you reversed the colors of the text and the cross ties -- the text being gold and the ties being the bronze color -- and perhaps the cross being darker, too?
I'll take care of your comments and get a revised design back to you ASAP! Glad you like the direction Im going, with your additions I think it will take it closer to a strong mark/brand!
Hey thanks for all the positive comments, Hope this round will be where in the area that your looking for. Good call on the darker wood, actually it sould be dark due to the light source is behind.... So good call. Introduced a new font to the mix, Still sarif.... I Know! =-) but smaller serifs, so hoping you'll like the new type font, made the back light more intense with adding hot spots to the edge of the cross and thought "the musical" was getting lost on previous version. So take a look and let me know what you think!, Thanks again. Pat
#78 -- Thanks for making those changes. You didn't answer my question about how this would work on a white background, though.
I'm picky about fonts, since I think it's such an important element in a logo. I'd still like to try something more contemporary looking. Also, "Sanctuary" looks a bit washed out and has lost some of the 3D effect. I'd like to see it in a brighter gold, more like the gold used in the cross ties in your first entry.
If you have any other concept ideas, we're still very open!
Here is another approach for you to take a look at, more contemporary, hoping more in the direction your looking for? Comments would be great! Thanks, Pat
Oops, Had to pull that one and do a quick fix... Here is the revised file! Also Im going to get the other direction to you on white for you to take a look at.... Thanks, Pat
Here is the first design on white,..... But changed the background color to a warm palette.... I think I just muddied up the waters, I liked the new direction I just submitted before seeing this! Hoping Im making it hard on you =-) Just let me know what you think and we shall go from there!
#82 -- VERY nice!!! We might have to play with the fonts. "THE MUSICAL" is difficult to read in this small version. Can we see how it would look in a color scheme using purple hues rather than blue and a gold cross?
Keep the ideas coming! I have to confer w/ someone else as well so I might have more comments or adjust the ranking, but so far I like this one better than your first.
Thanks for the comments. Here is the revised design, In and out for the rest of the day, but will be checking site through out the day, so if you have additional comments, I will be able to make them before eod.
I like this better, but "Sanctuary" is spelled wrong. Please fix. Can you try some different fonts and use a sans serif font for "the Musical"? I noticed you moved the "sash" up (or lengthened the piece below it). I liked it before with a tad more of the vertical bar of the cross showing so that below the horizontal bar is longer than above it. Using a sans serif font at a smaller size might help.
Also, make the lines above and below "Sanctuary" black, and give the cross some shine or make it a brighter gold (but not yellow)?
How would this look on a black background? Thanks!
Thanks again to the additional comments, Here is the design with revisions. Added some tone to the cross, think it gave it alot more depth. and shown on a black Background, Anything else just let me know. Thanks again & good luck, Pat
