Would you like something that is more along the line of a signature emlem above or to the left of your name or do you want something that flows 'into' your name?
I looked at your sample attachment...they look fun
at any time you these entries prompt an idea for me to modify or submit a new concept I will be happy to do that for you, just let me know.
I really like all of the ones that I've left ranked for yours... I LOVE that you tried to pull together the peacock feathers! I feel like the #26 feather is a little rough around the edges. Think I like "signature" in script like you've done in #12, #18, #13. I like how 13 looks and is balanced, but I guess maybe I don't like abstract symbols quite as much. I think I'm leaning towards turquoises/blues/purples/magentas/corals more than green
Actually I really like #12 but I worry that it's too abstract and it isn't easy to really tie to the idea of peacock. I am sort of hoping that whatever logo I end up with can create a nice branding theme of some sort of recognizable image/shape that I can use all over the place.
#14 and #22 are both cute, but I can't really use just regular birds or anything that resembles a nest. My major competitor in town is Nest Realty, and they have lots of branding with nests, and little simple birds that look a bit like the Twitter bird, so I have to stay away from those!
And I guess my favorite peacock feather is in the "Snooty Ooty logo" on that page full of logos I posted... Wonder if something like that could be tied in to one of the letters somehow. I also like the emblem completely separate too.... I think it just sort of depends on the balance and everything else together. Love the slightly muted colors you're using- feel like you're on the right track!
here is a more refined peacock feather similar style to the one you like. you're right, this one looks like it needs a comb :-))) it is a 'raw' style for sure
REALLY like the new one #27.... wonder if I could see different color variations? And also, I think the text under the SIGNATURE might be prettier if it were justified (or the spacing between letters were wider so it runs from the G in Signature over to the far right edge of the image? I'm not really sure- haven't given much thought to that text yet. Might also be interesting to see the word SIGNATURE in black (transitioning somehow to some color in the peacock feather), with color in the rest of the aspects of the image?
1) I am trying to figure out a way to tie in the peacock quill into an INK quill... the idea is that you sign your name on the dotted line in real estate a lot, and the pen/ink/quill is neat, but then combining that w/peacock quill could be really pretty and classy. I have NO idea how you would do that, but here is an actual photograph I saw and liked. Not sure that you could tie that one straight into a letter though, but just a different take on a similar idea
2) This may be too much color and may make it too busy, but I love how the quill here cascades the colors. I probably wouldn't use brown (maybe black) but you get the idea. Cascading different hues or a mixture of turquoise/blue/pink/purple..
Oooo I like that second attachment.... and oops I accidently turned the feather's eye upside down...will do that before signing off again and upload it for you. I will think on this and work tomorrow morning on a new modification to these.
this is dotting the 'i' it also allows for the peacock feather to be larger in the layout since at the end of the name the balance is left heavy and the peacock feather can't be very large...or it can...not sure about how you visualize it for your applications.
I needed to remove #28 since Denir's #11 was first with the peacock feather coming off the letter 'S'; since you didn't ask for this in your brief it is a protected concept....I couldn't find any samples or notes that you asked for this..oh well but I submitted it coming off the 'i' as well as your suggestions as a quil. I am going to try to take this one and use the style that I used on #28 to create a new one. If you have any suggestions let me know. I am also soon submitting one with a tree branch across the top and I have another one that may work for you a swing in a tree as your sample
So, I think I like the quill over the "i" vs beginning over the "e"- so am heading more that direction... and I think I like the feathers the most in entry #39, since they're so neat. Sorry- I feel like I led you a bit astray with the recent feathers I sent because they were more curly/wild, but it turns out that I like the tighter/cleaner/simpler ones better after all. I DO like the purple being pulled in, in addition to the turquoise and blue....
Are any of these going to look good at all on transparent backgrounds or will that text at the bottom be challenging?
No problem on the additional illustrations...it is part of what we enjoy doing. Sometimes the only way is to test the transparency...but if there is a problem...as on the internet...because in my file it is fine...just the formats all have different applications e.g. gif, jpeg. png..which I think gives a crip line on fonts and outlines.
But if for some reason it should give a problem I would be happy to change it to a bolder color that will hold up visually.
Do you want to see #39 with the colors that are in #40
Thank you once again...I'll keep watching for any additional comments you may have.
using the same colors as in #39 I added darker rings in the feather...as well as increasing the outline of the tag line by .001 to give it a little thickness and increased the gray on the CMYK just a little on the cyan and black.
Let me know if you would like to see some other possibilities... are you not wanting the dandelion anymore?
I still love #39 and #32. I think I DO like the feather on #39 the best (even more than #82). Could you make #39 and #32 say Signature Real Estate instead of Fine Properties? My husband thinks it sounds like a home builder. And could you also space the tiny text out a bit more so it sort of spans the whole bottom of the image? Feel like I really like both of these and really need to decide which direction I'm going!
Also- would #39 look good with SIGNATURE in black, and then everything else in colors? TO maybe stand out a bit more?
#83 #84 #85 Wasn't sure if you meant all the way across the entire name so I did that as well as spread out the small text under 'real estate'
I gave you one of these in all black for you to see this as well
The color on 'real estate and Sasha Farmer & Associates' didn't seem to work well.. too light in comparison to the black but will show you if you still want....was trying not to add too many colors...though it could go darker blue on these
It is late so I will check back with you in the morning.
I'm wondering if the tree is a direction I should look... I love that image too. Any way I could see the tree with SIGNATURE REAL ESTATE / SASHA FARMER & ASSOCIATES / THE FARMER TEAM / FARMER & ASSOCIATES? I'm trying to figure out what name I like the best, but I really do like the homey-ness of the tree and swing!!
I'll check back in the morning...oops it is morning here...
anyway, let me know which ones you would like to see or if all of them. I also have some other trees that are silhouettes of more realistic trees like oaks that I've done and they haven't been purchase so they are available.
