Sky 5Logo Design Contest

Sounds good. I just uploaded the .jpg and .eps I needed to on here to complete the contest. I will get all others to you through your email. Let me know if I can help you with any other graphics services. -Brian

jla@sky5cs.com. Please send me all files and corespond with me through email.

I think we upload only an .eps here as the final file so if I can either have you email me or send send me your email address and I can get the other formats over to you this evening. I'll send .png for website, .jpg for any other web stuff where the logo doesn't have to be transparent and .pdf for anything printed. Thanks J!

Please make sure to send me an adaptions -- adding the SM and the formats. I would like this to be ready for for paper and Internet and website as well. Thank you. J

when making the CMYK version I used a PMS color (pantone) and it pretty much maintained its brightness.

Not a problem at all on any of this. The color you are seeing here is taken directly from the Seattle logo but is in RGB, this is the mode that the web and television uses and is often much brighter than CMYK mode, so I will do my best on those formats, like .pdf that are for use in print, to match this color and look you see here, should be bright green but maybe not so fluorescent. The SM will be easy to add, but are you not needing to add the 'Cleaning Systems, Inc." to the mark anywhere? Thanx!

I need to have this logo in. png, gif, word, pdf any other format that you can put it into. Need to make sure the scale can be uncompromised. In all formats.

I need just iutside the sphere in very small point size. The letters. sm.

The company name is:
Sky5. Cleaning Systems, inc

What was your thought on this new design? You didn't send it to the "prefers other designs" category but none of them moved really and wondered if you saw its potential.

I added this one even though the mark doesn't need any fancy effects to make it work. I did like how the radial gradient in the center of the circle brought out the blue, and this with the highlight gives it a 3D glass button feel. It still translates the same upside down.

I like this one too, but feel like the gradient isn't necessary since the green is bright enough, but you can also use both a gradient and a solid depending on use of the logo.

you had white as the accent on this one but wasn't sure if you meant outline of circle as the placement of the accent color on all of these, so just let me know what you had in mind if this wasn't it and I'll make the adjustments. Thanx!

The Broncos colors here aren't bad but I don't think they're near as crisp as the green and navy version.

I think I like the green and navy here minus gradient the best of these latest versions personally, but also like the gradient version of the green and navy with white #177. I think the green is a "cleaner" color and brings out the "organic" mentioned in your business description and preferences. The color just has a nice pop to it. This tone of navy (the Seahawks navy) is so dark it is difficult to differentiate it from the black outline but even when they blend together i looks fine b/c the green really is what you're looking at anyway and the navy borders it nicely.

No problem at all on these. Just to clarify, I need to know, if I'm doing a gradient, what other color am I using in the gradient. The black accent would be the outline on the circle, the blue would be the center or background of the circle and the orange, or green colors would be the lettering. Am I using white as the other gradient color? I can do some that are gradients and some that are solid fills of these colors above. I was using the lighter, brighter blue earlier only b/c of separation b/c navy doesn't show up well against the black so it's difficult to see that division. I'll use the navy and personally like navy better as well, it's my fave.

The S and the 5. Have to wind up with the same Colors. The gradient inbetween ties it. I don't like that color blue you are using. I need a more Navy blue.

For the lettering and gradient can we try a Seattle Seahawks green

The colors combinations should be.
Blue and Orange. Denver Broncos
Black accent


Blue and Green Seattle Seahawks.
Accent colors. Black

Black and Orange. Cincinnati Bengals
Accent color white.


Hope this helps.

Just to show you what it could look like with a background in the color of one of your secondary colors in your color scheme.

Here is one with just a hint of green fading into the other colors you originally preferred.

I threw the gold one in to show how it might look if you made a metal one.

This one is the only different one from the ones I just uploaded. I added a small element to the end of the S and the end of the 5.

I did this one in orange and black but as you can see it works well in any color combination. I think bringing the ends of the S and the 5 over the K and under the Y helped the illusion of the top of the K finishing out but doesn't seem to affect the Y the same, so makes it legible as Sky5. I like the shape much better and can see it on products more than the circle.

I can't upload it in 2nd place b/c it is in the selection phase and only the designer you have in 1st can submit. Even if only temporarily I can be moved back if you don't like it. I actually did one in orange and black. Thanx!

i would like to see it--- I would like to see it in Orange and Black--- and with the S also in Green---- the circular looks great--- I hope this new version knocks it out--- lets see it

I think I may have figured out the visual solution to make the logo work. I didn't use a circular shape, and it looks pretty cool but still a really cool enclosure. I can give you green in it for sure, I just thought you wanted green on the other one that was in the lead at the time instead of this mark here. I have a cool revision to the mark but am not able to upload any, but can upload them if given the opportunity before the selection phase is up. I just wasn't online yesterday but a very short time. Thanx!

my concern with the stems instead of dots was that the Y just looked like an upside down K, was trying to separate them somehow so the illusion was there in the K but could be visually disconnected on the Y. I will try to extend the top end of the 'S' and the bottom end of the '5' over to where that dot is and see if that works. Currently being in 2nd place during the selection phase I cannot post, only the 1st place designer, so if I get some other variations done I will let you know. Thanx!

I still like this over all look. I wanted to see it altered with green

I agree. It needs the gradient from both sides blending in the middle. I stay would like to take the dots out and make the stems more traditional. The effect is still the same.

I think the lime green here is too much. A deeper green works better I feel.

I think the dark green obviously looks better than the bright fluorescent green because it's closer in tone to the black 5, but all these are showing brighter online than they will in print since they're in RGB mode. I apologize for not getting any more versions up since the afternoon. I was having to be Dad all afternoon and evening. Other than the green, let me know what other adjustments you might like to see and I will get those made and posted for review. I think the concept and shape is sturdy, I am just not sure how to get it to stay anagram/palindrome with the color not being the same throughout. This will be the mission. Let me know if you like the center circular shape white or if you like a gradient fading from the green to black, like I did on a few of the others, so it's a smoother transition between the 2 sides. Thanx!

Sure. I'll try a deeper natural green and a brighter green, let me know if you have a preference on what tone of green to try. I can make any revisions needed at this stage in the contest since you have mine sitting in first. Just let me know what you want to see on it and what I can try on the letters to make it read best for you. Thanx!

Just to see the look --can you make the ( S ) a Green this way as an anagram--palindrome-- is has some consistency -- keeping the 5 as Black

Is this what you meant by traditional lines, not the more organic lines, and is the black in the 5 strong enough or does it get swallowed up too much? I don't want the 5 to get lost in the background, so if you have preferences on color placement I can try different variations. Also let me know if these more straight line arms on the K and Y work for you or if you like the dots on #124. Thanx!

I really liked this logo direction. But I'm more of a traditional lines person. The creative sky was great but not over the top. I really like this logo. Needs also Strong Black color in it. Maybe the 5. This logo gets it done. I need to see it in this logo

Anything you'd like to see with this concept/direction that will get it back where it was in the ranking?

is there anything you'd like to see with this concept/direction that will get it to top three?

I worked on numerous sketches in my sketchpad trying to get the K and the Y to play well together and to take on each others identity, hehee. I like that it is now a little more "organic", stretching out with more free movement yet still staying within the enclosure for a nice balance, and the Y actually looks like a Y now. With blue and orange being color compliments in the world of color I think the orange works well as a secondary color, but I did a variation with blue and black as well. The blue makes one think Clean, but I am sure you chose it b/c of the 'Sky' in your name. Hopefully the 'Sky5' is now much more legible.

Still working on variations of this one and will continue adding them as I complete them. I want to find that 'ky' shape that allows them to be each other when rotated upside down. The Y works well here with the little small circle/dot being separated from the rest of the letter, but not sure it is helping the K, don't want the logo to read as 'Shy5'.

The difference on this one is I centered the radial gradient in the large circle so the blue is middle and helps bring attention to the fact that the center of the top curl of the 'S' is centered in the circle. I like how in this typeface the S and 5 are similar yet very different. They bookend the type well.

This is like #97 but minus the shadow behind the 'Sky'.

I am still working on this one, trying to figure out how to get a 'k' and a 'y' to match better when rotated. I gave you two variations of this one. I made the 5 white on this one and let the other letters fade to it. I didn't want to make it completely different from the other three so that way when it is rotated it wouldn't look like the 'S' is different. By having the circle lighter on the right it emphasizes the brightness on the 5 as if a strong light is on that side of the mark.

I revised the 5 with black and added a shadow in behind 'Sky' to help the light source along and give it some more depth, while also tying it in with the black in the 5. The radial gradient on the circle also fades from the blue to black, so there is a good visual weight balance throughout the mark.

I uploaded a few variations of this one for you.

Love this. Can you give me a Black 5

I love this logo. I need the Y to be more clear. The 5 needs to be a different color

A fun, almost window like shape, as if looking out at a nice sky. or clean water, the name shiny and the '5' popping in white. Covered all 4 of your color preference and they play well together in this fun square enclosure shape. The text balances well with the 'S' and '5' looking so much alike yet being distinct. I placed the name lower right to emphasize the large, vast sky behind it.

Same as #59 but no outer circle, and by being two toned the 5 stands out a little. You could place this one either way, with blue on left or on right by rotating it. Says 'Sky5" both right side up and upside down.

Just a fun enclosure logo. i think circles are popular and timeless and this one really makes your name standout and the letters of your business name have a nice balance. The circle shape helps keep the eye engaged, almost not letting you look away. Would work well on hats, shirts, signage, website, etc.

This one reads the same both right side up and upside down. The first text element is both an 'S' and an upside down '5', the second element is both a 'k' and an upside down 'y'. By placing it in the circular shape it almost allows it to visually rotate. I can work on this one more if you want the letters to be more legible. I think the 'ky' is close but might need a little more refining.

This one was more of just a design element, the Y contouring the 5, and with the 5 being larger it helps place emphasis on it. The colorful 'sky' helps balance it.

I made the circular enclosure shape to be the sky, large, vast. If you were to look directly up at the sky it would be this giant circle, a dome of sorts. By dropping the text down lower right, it allows the sky to sit above it. i added a gradient from blue to black to not only fulfill two of your color preferences but to almost give the affect of a glow coming from the 5 as if it's the sun.

I placed the 5 in place of the 'S' since they are similar and placed a light source on it which is casting the shadow that becomes the actual 5. Don't know if that translates well but even if it is not seen as a 5 casting a shadow I think it still strangely reads 'Sky5'.
