Sons of ScotlandLogo Design Contest

Thanks, Brendan, for starting us off. Now put some "motion" in this, make it less square.

I do like the thistle and maple leaf to appear together, but we need something more dynamic.

Also try a couple more typefaces.

The tagline needs to be incorporated (forgive me for not stipulating this in the launch): happily Scottish, proudly Canadian

#14 I like the typeface because it's strong and easy to duplicate for other promotional materials, even for text. Again, try giving motion to the artwork. Perhaps make the graphics more suggestive. If we are going to use the thistle, it needs to be more symbolic and instantly recognisable.

How are you doing ? hope you are doing great. As this contest is about to come to an end, and you will be chosing the best new logo for your company, i just wanted to have your attention to some important point that you might be aware of or might not. I hope i am not miss understood by pointing out this to you and that you understand.

When the contest ends and you have made your mind and desicion about the winner logo, the winner gets the 1st place, but the 2nd and 3rd place and going on forward, 4th, 5th, 6th , etc , each one or slot should be filled with a seperate designer and different concept you found second best, third best to follow etc.

This helps towards us designers ranking and also it is a way from you to show your appreciation to the hard effort and trails put from the beginning by one designer or appreciating a nice design concept put earlier by a designer that led to developing on right direction for others and you getting the best you could at the end.

It feels frasturating for other designers and pointless of giving all the top rankings for same winner designer, while those were just a small variations of the winning design and therefore the other places 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc are not filled with different designs from a different designer.

So i hope you understood my point i was just trying to point out to you here and all the best of luck in chosing your winner logo, there are really good ones out there.

Best Regards,

Kareem "

I second Kareem on that one!

Hi Orion and Tindiey:

I think I see what you are talking about. At the end of the contest, when I rank the designers, I will choose them according to designer, not according to design. That way each designer gets one spot.

Is that what you are trying to say?

Laurie

One idea could be to add something to the maple leaf like the fringe of a kilt or the safety pin the kilt often holds.

To confirm:
no tartans or flags
3 vibrant colours--red, yellow, blue
motion and playfulness

Thank you to everyone who is working so hard on this contest. You are doing a fabulous job.

I like the sporran image!
