Client
I'd like the first script font design even better with a non-script "S"

more like #22?

Client
Can you enlarge design 17 slightly? I like this design, however the others are jumping out at me more and it might be because they are larger - Thank you!

#70 is larger, and #71 has a subtle inclusion of a headstock. I've deliberately kept it subtle.

Client
Love it.. Can you shrink down the headstock just a little more? It seems just.a little less would make it more subtle and disrupt the visual of the H less- thanks for All the work on this

#82 is a tad smaller, and #83 a touch smaller still :)

Logo Designer
forgot to add the option of the other style of headstock with the new S, and the headstock smaller :) so here it is #84

Client
I actually like that headstock better, however there are copyright issues with using it as its might be trade marked by Fender

#85 is the same style, but shaped differently. flat at the top, curves a little sharper.

Client
Maybe a little more graceful on the top of the headstock. I believe you could use the previous headstock shape (fender), just make distort it slightly? Maybe making the top less circular by stretching it out slightly.
I'd also like to add "Box Springs, Georgia - U.S.A" if you can make it work without it looking too busy.

Sorry for the multiple uploads, trying to get the headstock shape. #90 has the left side raised further up where it flares out, so it isnt so much further down as fender headstocks are. the circle is now an oval on top
9 years ago
 
Logo Designer
I think #91 I'm happy with. The oval is more pronounced, without going overboard, ive angled it to match the angles of the headstock. left side is significantly higher than a fender headstock left-bottom side. Again sorry for the multiple uploads

Love it... Well done!

Maybe extend the lines slightly more coming off "guitars"? To create more of a label effect?
Any ideas on adding subtle color? 40's vintage earth tones. Georgia is known for its red clay and greenery - so maybe vintage terra cotta and an antique faded green? - thanks again

OK, I'll have those changes up in the morning, its 1am here now and I need to get some sleep. Theyll be ready first thing in the morning though :)

I've uploaded a couple of distressed/aged ones, also in reverse color so you can see how that would look, and a version that has not been treated with the distressed look.

Thanks for your efforts!

#96 is a richer, more earthy/brownish red

Client
Thanks for the color samples - it helped. I'm going to revert back to black and white for now. The final challenge, I think we have the design, now can it be made into a vintage label, or something which would have been stuck to the back of a vintage electronic device. If you google vintage 40s labels I think you'll get where I'm headed with this. :)

Here is a custom shaped label
I'll work on a rectangular label too.

Client
If you can apply the same to 71, that would be great. I love working with you, thank you for the exceptional effort.

#100 has 71, and #101 is a new one :)

Client
Hi there... Can you update the main logo with the same headstock size as those in the labels? I believe the label headstock size is perfect

Logo Designer
At this point in the contest only the first ranked designer can upload entries. You can toggle the rankings around if you wish. I have the images ready :)
9 years ago
 
Client
Ahhh sorry I wasn't paying attention to the specific rankings - please upload I'm ready to select the winner. Will I just be given 1 of those designs? I would assume so. I like the labels etc as well for different applications - this is my first time, so I'm not sure what happens from here - thank you again for the patience and hard work!

Logo Designer
Most designers are willing to send variations of the same design, within the label/emblem and without, so that shouldnt be a problem :)

Client
Can you take a hard look at the balance of the circles I'm feeling its a few degrees off but it would be too hard to explain. I think you will see it when you look :)

Client
thank you again for the extra effort and congratulations! Awesome work, I love the design!
