Dear pixelgeometry, We really like your designs. Thank you for your submissions. Now that we are in the last phase and getting ready to make a final decision, would you mind changing the colors of Entry #28? We have decided to avoid the red and blue because it is a bit U.S.-centric and we'd like our business to appeal to an international clientele. Blue and yellow, or blue and gold would be nice, but please feel free to submit a couple of color ideas. I am sure you have wonderful taste and a great eye for color. We are looking for bright colors, such as the ones you had sent before. We'd like to avoid pastels, and green brown or grey. Also, would you mind submitting a version of this entry without the initial curve (to the left) and would you mind making both "i"s look like a little person (the way you have "i" in "Direct"). We like to see that effect you created of the sound coming out of the letter "i", but more like to people talking to each other. The "i"s could be a little more pointed in each other's direction (since we are connecting two people or more, who speak different languages, via our service). That's one reason why we chose your entry. We liked the "little person talking" idea. The two "i"s could also be connected by arrows, if you like. In simultaneous interpreting, a lot of times two arrows pointing in each direction signify two-way communication. The interpreter is in the middle (perhaps the faded end of each arrow in the middle of an arch above both "i"s) and the parties talking to each other are on either end (perhaps the point of each arrow in a more solid color pointing to each person). Again, please just see this as a suggestion. You are the artist and we trust your vision. Don't make too much work for yourself. For us, simpler is better. Thank you so much! Have a great day. :)
Thank you for your message. Yes, I just read what you said about other designers' concepts. Makes sense. I appreciate you letting me know.
We still like your design with the two "i"s and the sound waves. Could you please submit another modification? We'd like to see a "flatter" color (I think you have sort of a gradient for the letters now) so the blue and yellow can show more (we know that red and blue are stronger colors, but we're trying to get away from the U.S. orientation). Also, could you try a couple of different palettes of blue and yellow or blue and gold (by this I mean a different shade of blue... something that appears a little stronger, and a yellow or gold that goes with the new shade of blue you pick).
