Welcome to the tournament!
I really like your concept and your creativity!
Nice detail on the emblem...
I think something has gone wrong with the lighting of the cube because i had to flinch to get that its a cube and not a 2D hexagon with lines inside of it (especially in the black font).
If you consider it as a hexagon, the structure inside of it can form a Hebrew Star if you think about it and i wouldnt want that.
Can you play around with it so that it looks more like a 3D cube? Even try it a rough pencil sketch to see how it turns out?
As far as the SOLiD part, i wouldnt want the "i" to be lower case because then it reads like SOl-iD and i want to avoid that. Try to incorporate a hint of turquoise somewhere else.
Lastly I am very picky on the fonts. Is there another font we could try that is more classical yet abstract?

Thank you in advance!

and smaller cube please

Client
Very nice designs, congrats! However, i think that my mind has stuck in the concept of the cube, trying to pass on the meaing of "solid". The thing is that it looks to me quite large as an emblem and i would like to see something smaller, more elegant and simple that incorporates this meaning. For example, i saw somewhere written "SOLID. (fulstop)", which i think has a very clear cut and compact meaning. However, we also have constructions to write, so i dont know how we could combine something like this...

Client
also we were thinking of writing constructions right after solid in the same line...could you think of something on #288 before you consider my previous comment??
thank you...amazing designs!

#301 I like it, but i think the emblem is too big compared to the typographic...

Client
#307 ok i think we are getting somewhere with this. by the way you r missing an 's' in the word constructions. DO you think you can show me something go as far as what i was talking to you about before about the concept of the cube?
12 years ago
 
Client
#307 i think "constructions" should be in smaller font size or maybe even different font style from "SOLID:...

Logo Designer
Just to make sure that I understood:
You want just a wordmark that reflects what current designs have -SOLID, without an emblem- ?
12 years ago
 
Client
ok, i relly like what you have done so far, however i'm not sure if i want to go with the cube. I wanted a cube cause it reflets the meaning of a solid or whatever, but i think its a bit busy and too much. Hence, i would like to see from someone who has obviously put some more thought than me on logo's, aa different way to reflect this meaning by having something more elegant, small, clever emblem, or no emblem. I'm not sure what i really want, and i think that's why people come to you guys!!!thank you

Client
VERY NICE! I think that the font style is a bit common/classic in all of your designs. Do you have anything in your mind in a more simple/modern font stlye?
#301 It's very nice but i think the cube is too big for what's writen under it.i would like to see it with a smaller cube
#288 sae as above...
#367 I dont like the parenthesis. please try it first without it and in another one bring the typographic to the front side of the shape, not inside
thank you!

HELLO,
CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME THE JUDGING PHASE BECAUSE THE 'HOW IT WORKS' LINK IS NOT MUCH HELP?
THE SITE SAYS, i HAVE SEVEN DAYS TO SELECT WINNING DESIGNER FROM THE TOP 5 DESIGNERS, WHILST ONLY MY #1RANK DESIGNER PROVIDES REVISIONS TO FINALIZE THE LOGO. THAT DOESNT MAKE MUCH SENSE BECAUSE THAT WAY i MUST CHOOSE THE WINNER TODAY AND NOT IN THE COMING PERIOD OF SEVEN DAYS!
CAN YOU HELP ME OUT AND MAKE THE PROCESS A BIT CLEARER?

THANK YOU.

Logo Designer
Hi, I am working on one last concept, not easy though!

During judging phase you can ask your #1 ranked designer to make some adjustments to the logo. You can re-rank during judging phase if requiring adjustments from other designers.
12 years ago
 
Client
so the other designers apart from #1 still work on the logo??

I hope you get a great one! I just want to refresh the site and the most amazing logo to come up!!hehehe

good work...

Dear NimaVisual, I like your creativity!
#392 is one of my favorites because it is elegant serious and sophisticated. If i could say something but about it it would be that i would like it 2% less complicated and have a hint of #534 concept.
#534: I like the fact that its an optical illusion, its smart but TOO simple for my taste.
#579 i prefer it without the shading
#578 I prefer straight lines than flimsy lines (reminds me of microsoft windows logo)

What i would like is something that is in between the #392 and #534!
Something just a BIT complicated,smart (somebody sees it and says "aaaah this guy MUST have paid a designer to think of that concept", something like a simple illusion) and finally dead serious. Our business is all about integrity and trust, I want the logo to promote that. Nothing funny,nothing cute just smart, sophisticated with a hint of complication that relates (but not states) to our company name.

Please have a go and I will be waiting anxiously to see your designs!

Thank you!

These three entries are some kind of a process between the two concepts. Also trying a smaller icon.

Client
could you try something completely different from what has been donoe up to now. A complete different concept that you would like to have for your company??

Logo Designer
This incorporates Phi symbol (you know what it means for math and architecture). Its quite simple but can be a good approach in a totally different direction.
12 years ago
 
Client
I think phi is just a greek math symbol, which doesn't have to do with architecture and construction. I think I still prefer your #392...

Client
#392 #534 I think that the font size of SOLID is very big compared to the font size of constructions. I think we should make SOLID shorter until the top right edge of the cube.

Client
Are you also doing web design??
12 years ago
 
Client
Also could you change the font style of constructions the same as the constructions writen in #562 please?
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
#590 slightly smaller SOLID
#593 smaller SOLID, requested font. I didn't reduce it more so the emblem doesn't look too big.

Yes, I also do web design.
12 years ago
 
Client
The font style of #593 is a bit thin and someone might read SOLIO instead of SOLID. Maybe we could find something between #288 and #593 (a bit more bold). Please keep the font style of constructions in #593.

Hello Nivavisual,
is there a revision based on our above comment coming up soon? time is running out!!!
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Hi, sorry for the late reply!

I have ready the revision you requested. I think its important to keep the same font for SOLID, but I increased weight of the font. I will keep an eye on the contest to check if I can upload it.

Client
could you please explain what is the difference between #595 and #594, they look the same to me...
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
#595 is a little bolder, you are right its barely noticeable at this size.
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
From 593 to 596 there is a progressive increase on weight. Maybe from consecutive entries is not noticeable, but you can see the great difference between the first and the last.
12 years ago
 
Client
ok, i can see the difference, but it's not very noticeable. Do you have any font style in mind that might look nice that maybe we could try??? It's all about fine tuning now...
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Well, I really like the current font. Its quite elegant and simple.
#597 is the same font used for construction. Its very nice, and very architectural. I think we sacrifice the elegancy a little for a more futuristic look.
12 years ago
 
Client
These are too round i think...sorry to be a pain in the ass, but i'm just trying to make it perfect. Could you please try the foollowing two fonts:

PF Din Text Comp Pro
BankGothic Lt BT

thank you

Client
I like #601 but its too bold and you can't even see the lines drawn behind it, which are very nice... can we make it thinner?
12 years ago
 
Client
Can you please show me something different in font styles??
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
I am trying something different here, but not focusing on the font. I really think that the best font is the one you have ranked #1 right now. Its tall with clean straight lines and elegant. Uncommon but neutral in the overall layout.
I made it bolder and uploaded a couple entries paying with composition.

last message is for #605 and #606.
#607 uses a customized font.
12 years ago
 
Client
ok, i agree....but i think that we need to move constructions a bit up so that it's alighned with the bottom right edge of the cube and therefore make SOLID a litte bit shorter. Can you give me more than one logo at the end of this contest?i also like #534 and #535...and also coould i have them in black & white background?

thank you vey much

Adjustments you request are for #392? With fonts as they are?
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
#608 and #609
Based on #392, Slightly bolder SOLID, moved construction up (just a little under the corner so emblem doesn't look oversized). Constructions in same font, but modified to make it more readable.
Both versions are provided with final files.

Client
Can i also get other logos that i like from the ones you 've made?? For example can you semd me at te end of the contest #392, #534, #535??
12 years ago
 
Client
#608 & #609 is PERFECT! Bravo...But i like very much #534 & #535 and i'm not sure which one to choose! do you think i can have all three when the contest ends? can you send me your private email, so tha we can work together after the contest?

thank you
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Great! Yes you can have the other logos. I am gonna send you a PM with my info.
12 years ago
 
Client
I think that the lines that form the cube in #609 shouldn't be as dark as SOLID, maybe a bit lighter...
