These are really good. We like the stylized land/vegetation/sky/water shown in #42, 43 and others. I like the lighter font used in #50. The colors in 42, 42, 51 are very nice. The icon orientation as in 50, 51 seems to work best although I would like to see the icon and text scaled to the same height or in some other way integrated, although not embedded as in 52.
#81 is great progress! Thank you. I think it will be even better if you can work to abstract the sun and leaf form that are in there. Clearly, we are somewhat averse to literal graphic representations and would prefer graphics that evoke a number of different natural patterns rather than ones that are easily identifiable with a particular thing.
We really like the way you have integrated the icon with the text. That is the key feature that is placing you in the top spot right now.
126, 127 are appealing since they look at a new arrangement for the logo placement, however we are still drawn to 81. 81 has is simple and clean with good, sleek text style. We like how the logo has the line below to incorporate the remainder of the firm name. Despite our preference for 81, we are not in favor of the image within the circle graphic. The literal representation of a landscape is not desired. Maybe the leaf graphic of 42 could be imbedded into 81 (similar to 79). We are looking for a different graphic within the circle. Please explore other graphics within the circle (maybe a tree, tree canopy & roots, stream, etc.). Thanks!!
132 is a very nice combination of preferred elements. Would like to see the line stop curling sooner, maybe at the leaf graphic. The leaf graphic should be more predominate, larger We have concerns it will be tough to read (especially the detail of the leaf graphic) when reduced to fit some construction drawing title blocks. Also would like to see the second line of text slightly larger, again to ensure text can read when reduced for construction drawing title blocks. Also we need to see how the graphic will look when void of color (black & white or with greyscales ). Very nice. Thank you.
The layout is looking really great. I wonder if we can work with the leaf image a little more to get something that is more meaningful to the identity of our company. Perhaps an abstraction of the solidago plant itself, see image at: http://www.ayearinseattlegardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/soidago.jpg for an idea of the form of the plant. If this is going to work, it should be a very stylized abstraction of the plant form, not a direct copy.
Another benefit of this stylized image is that I think it could be interpreted many ways: A solidago flower, a river network, a network of paths in a park, etc.
165 is great! Would like to see it with color. Please show white background with colored font/graphic. Please show colored background with colored font (Couple of examples using different colors of both background and font)
Would like to see the plant graphic used in 151 incorporated into 170. Simplify the plant so it can read at a reduced scale (not as 150, 153, 157, etc) and keep the entire plant within the circle/loop. Thank you!!
Congratulations, we are very happy with the design of 165! All your work was very nice which made for a tough decision to select a winner. Didn't see an opportunity to request the following for the winning logo files to be issued to us: Winning Logo - 165. 165 in black with white background (just as shown in 165), 165 in color using colors from 170 + 172 (one of each), and with colored background from 168. Thank you again for your hard work on this logo, we are really very excited to start using your very creative design!!
