Snider Financial GroupLogo Design Contest

Thank you too for your positive feedback. Yes you will be able to contact the winner. Upon transfer of final files both sides will receive agreement/contract with email addresses and other personal data of parties involved. This site doesn't prohibit in any way contacts between designer and client - provided contest is over.

I'm going to move a number of the different color combinations into the "don't want" section, just to help us narrow our focus. You've got the design elements we like, but this overall decision is going to be very difficult with the level of workmanship most of you and some of your competitors are providing. I'm leaning heavily in your direction, unfortunately we have a board that will decide (I'm a part of it). Thanks again for all the terrific revisions and updates!

Haha, by slate, I just mean a "bluish gray"; but this looks awesome. My apologies for not being precise, it's really important in this kind of work. By the way, since we're new to this process, are we able to continue the conversation with you after this competition is completed? Maybe hire you for the creation of a different layouts of the design for various applications? Thanks for the ongoing responsiveness!

Good point!

Wow; that's fantastic -- thanks for the info!

If by slate you mean textured background I believe we are not allowed to use them here so I used gradient instead.

Of course there is close to infinite number of color combinations but you can extrapolate from samples provided and give me directions to correct them in the right direction.

You are right about printing in foil. But versions like this can be used in internet environment, TV or other displays which support full RGB gamut.

Coloring is nice, but in print I feel the lighting effects I see here wouldn't have the same impact without printing in foil.

Nice and clean; it actually works well with some of the literature we already utilize with our business.

Thank you for your more than positive feedback. It's close to midnight here so I will prepare requested revisions tomorrow morning.
By the way, every awarded designer here is obliged to provide vector versions of the logo so you also will be able to modify logo after receiving final files. Vector file enables owner to edit every part of the logo separately and lets him to scale it up to every dimension without loosing quality/sharpness.

This is the strongest offering from all the submissions so far; and the board is really appreciative.

Let's see this on a different background; instead of browns (thank you, by the way), let's try a blue/gray/slate background. Then adjust the other visual elements / text accordingly.

It shows some tremendous detail work; looks fantastic.

It actually looks amazing; loving it.

This entry can feel ostentatious because I enlarged the icon to reveal drawing pattern. Due to small dimensions of designs presented here any small detailed are not rendered quite correctly.

Thanks fro your feedback. I prepared requested revisions. If you want me to try some other/richer shades of brown please let me know.

Here I added some light or dimension to the leaves. Still only two flat colors used.

bright/pale gold and silver

darker chocolate, light grey and beige

brighter brown and white

By itself it's a little too ostentatious for our primary uses -- but it could be useful in some limited applications.

I really like this design; the wreath in particular is quite good, and the "S" element is creatively unique. The textual elements on the right are nice, clean, and dignified.

Oh that looks great on a dark background. Could I see this design on a dark chocolate / espresso tone background? (and whatever text color works well with that) Thanks!

Custom made wreath.

Engraved drawing vector effect.
