I really like your thinking when approaching this. bold, rich colors. 19 and 20 are really impressive. My only issue is the lion looks much like other I've seen. This logo will be used extensively in adverts so whatever symbol we migt have has to be very unique as we dont want to be accused of copyright infringement.
overall I really like the way you are visualizing the concept. Also, don't feel like your tied to a lion. the buety of it is we are completely open to new concepts, within our parameters. It must show stability and security in an ever worsening economic enviorment. I think you could acomplish this. Good luck
here is a coulmn option i made. it is extremely detailed and looks great a larger sizes...i wish you could see the detail here. anyways, i don't know if you're interested in this route, but maybe it needs something on top of the column? if you are into this let me know how i can make it better. thanks.
nic stuff. the column isused pretty often by financial fims so I would say no to that allthough if I took a closser look at it, It might change my mind.
26 is very fresh and clean looking. Thats caught eye. not for the column but for the clean look of it.
oh by the way, the lion in my earlier versions was based off of a shirt emblem from general printers characters. while it is based off of an existing lion, that lion was not under copyright and i did make significant changes to it-- so if you're worried about copyright, i assure you it is totally OK and legal for you to use as a logo. thanks.
Yes, I was worried abut that lion as I've seen is way to mucjand would prefer to change it out if possible. We can move another way d=besides lion. I was thinkinh a eagle or some deraviation of a knight. My brain is gone tonight but if you have an email adress, I could send you something as example, but I dont want to taint the creative mind
theere you go. Now if you can do it in a Gold (metallic), black and Silver, or platinum ( also metalic) and use a gradient mesh to provide highlights. also, make the flag bigger.
i feel like i short-changed you a bit with my first lion. i rushed it a bit. here is a lion that (i think) will portray your business better. i will work on some versions of this one with the gradient meshes like you asked. unless you want me to stick with the other lion. let me know. thanks.
Nice stuff. I'm having trouble with that version of the lion honestly. Looks great but we're looking for a symbol that can be identified without having to have the name of the company next to it. ( ie audi, mercedes symbols ) Keep that in mind while designing it. I dont know if that version of the lion does it better than the one I sent you.
on 163, the lion is going to have to fill out the shield and the crown needs to be finished off ( previously cut by the round shield. ) Honestly, forcu your time on 158 try the inverse with gradient. I wonder how it would look on a real Roman shield.
