Janis! I really love this and know this is the one. I will get back in touch with you tomorrow:) Thank you so much for your hard work and all of the different versions that you did! You are truly an amazing designer!

Aww Janis! I really like the door and chandelier! You did a great job! Let me sit on this for a bit! Thank you!!!!

#74 Added a little more detail to the door and the stairs.

#73 Sorry for the delay. Wanted to try to get the little details right before sending. Let me know your thoughts!

#72 Sorry for the delay. Wanted to try to get the little details right before sending. Let me know your thoughts!

Hi Janis!

You can take away with Brandis:)

Thank you Janis!!

I’ll work on the door tomorrow with fresh eyes.

I love that Sothern Chandelier Logo you did! I am almost wondering if a baby chandelier could be peaking from the ceiling as you are looking at the door cracked open?

Thank you Janis!

I like this look:) Can you make the door more elegant with a french handle/ appearance to look like this?

The door to then have a golden glow from the inside?

I definitely need something in the logo to say elegant:)

** added the dark behind the door so that you could tell it was cracked open a little bit.

#70 Maybe something like this?

Hi Janis!
1.) Can you take the girl away?
2.) Can you move the words in front of the door and add "with Brandis."?
3.) Can you crack the door open a tad?
4.) Can you add a couple of stairs?
5.) Can you add a pink circle around the logo.

Thank you Janis!

You are right, it doesn't have to be cracked open if she is reaching for it. I think that would only be if I did not have the girl. You are right!

Can you do all that I said on this one. I think I like the clear writing and distinction between the words and door!

Hi Janis! I am liking the lighter feel to both of the designs you created. I like having the pink in there too! Ok , can we see what it looks like with a girl that is more modern not as Parisian? Still elegant. Confident. Pretty. Fashionable without the purse. A pink accent. Reaching for the door. Can you make the door cracked open a bit. Can you add a few steps?

Thank you so much! I am waiting to get the "zing" for myself and my business as Christian Life Coach and Journal Facilitator:) You are doing such great work. I am sorry I am sooo picky. I am just so foreign to design!

I'll do my best. If there are steps she will need to be further away from the door. Also, would the door be cracked open if she is approaching and reaching for it?

#68 You could even overlap the text on the door to make the logo more concise.

#67 I've worked on this one a bit. Also think the lighter fonts work better with this design. Let me know your thoughts!
Janis

I'll work on this today, was away most of the day yesterday.

That sounds good. I am really torn between super simple and the original one I liked. Please wait on the is one:-)

Can you please:
1) Take heart, sun and purse away.
2) Can you use deep pink, white and shimmery gold for color scheme how you see fit concerning lettering, girl, door.

Thank you!

Maybe if I do a light outline around the girl and door, and perhaps add a thin border to tie it all together.

Thank you Janis! I am simmering here!

#66 I've lightened up the fonts on this one, as well as the colors. I created a new girl, the other one was hard to soften and more high end fashion model-ish. I'm not sure what more I can do, you still have a lot going on in the design.

Thank you!

Okay, let me see what I can do.

Hi Janis! I feel like I have been too complicated with all of my symbols etc.... I want my brand to be simple.

1.) Can you add a door with stairs. Lady is walking up to the door to open.

2.) Can you take away the purse for the lady. Can you soften her up a bit?

2.) Can you use light and airy complementary colors for the design?

3.) Can you take away the red heart.

Thank you, Janis. I am wanting to lean toward 1 image for branding.

Thank you! I’ll be here tomorrow doing design work and will be on standby to make any changes you might want to see.

I am really enjoying this logo and font. I am going to simmer on this for today and let you know if there is anything else for tomorrow. I really like it! You are an amazing designer and so very patient!

#65 One more. Taking a break, will check in later for feedback.

#64 another font

I am leaning toward #62. Can I see one more font whenever you have a chance. No rush!

#63 Here's a different font for New Day. Let me know if you like this one, or #62. If neither, i will keep looking.

#62 Here's another font option for NEW DAY.

ok great!

Thank you!

Absolutely. I am going to show you another font similar to the one I am using for New Day. If I make it bolder manually it will not look crisp, it's okay with just one little outline, but if you do more, it loses quality. I can find another one that is bolder you will like.

This looks great! Can you move up a tad "New Day" so that it is centered between the yellow swoosh and the phrase "Step into a?" Also, can you make " New Day" bolder than Step so that it can be the foundational word?

#61 I was able to make this just a tiny bit bolder by putting a black outline around the letters. I can look at other fonts if you like, I have quite a few.

It only comes in that regular style, let me try one thing that may work.

Hi Janis!

Can you use the same font from the ranked one and make it bold or is that not possible? I like the sun!

Janis! This logo is really working for me! Can you make New Day bolder and the sun a little bit bigger?

Thank you!

No face.

Hi Janis!

I really feel like I am narrowed down and close to making a decision. Can you please make this girl all black. Red skirt, black purse and 2 small vertical black buttons on her skirt starting at her waist.

Thank you!!! Goodnight:-)

Thank you Janis!

I’ll try to incorporate all of your ideas. Taking a break for the night but will pick this up again tomorrow. Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you Janis!

All of these decisions are so hard! Can you make her open the door. Can you make the purse red. Can you add a sweater on her arm or something like almost to where she looks like she is wearing a short cardigan? All of your work is greatly appreciated!

#56 Here's the first girl I did in this particular layout.

Janis,

What would your original girl from design #3 look like in this design?

#55 I drew a silhouette close to your references. We cannot use the exact pose, they must be original.

Yes, that is exactly what it takes. It is your vision and you will know it when you see it. It's a fun process!

Thank you! It is interesting how my vision changes as we move forward but I believe it is getting more and more clear!

Thank you for the inspiration. Let me look through these and find the perfect balance. I know I can get this right. : )

Firm Foundation, She may or may not have to be stepping. Her feet can be on solid ground:)

Hi there!

I have a few silhouettes that I found. What do you think?

4.) https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/pictures/40000/nahled/woman-walking-silhouette.jpg

Confident and Free Woman:)

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I am still thinking:-)

#54 Here's another idea that might work. I'm done for the evening but will work on this again tomorrow.

I understand completely. I will explore other ideas tomorrow. Thanks for your feedback.

I am having a hard time feeling the girl’s confidence. I will keep thinking. If you have any ideas. Let me know? I really want to feel it and for my clients to feel it as well.

#53 Something like this?

This one looks odd without the face...I'll show you.

I'll send this over with no face. Again, the body angle makes it look weird to have her hand on her hip.

#52 Here's the same design as the first ranked one with the changes you asked for. It did not look right to have her hand on her hip at that angle.

I really like this one. I hope I am explaining myself correctly:-)
1) Girl, exactly the same.
2) black silhouette
3) hand that is on hat, on hip instead.
4) pink purse
5) no hat
6) no face

Thank you so much!

Okay, I'll work on that and send over soon.

I really like the one I ranked from you as number one. The door, heart sun everything.... Can you make the girl?
1) Same stance.
2) Same silhouette.
3) All black.
4) No hat
5) pink purse
5) Left hand on hip instead of hat:-)


Thank you!

#50 How about something like this? Simple silhouette, could be any woman. I'm taking a break but will check in later for feedback.

#49 Here's a simpler silhouette, I'll check in later for feedback.
: )

I can't copy her design, but I can come up with something else! Taking a break but I will be back soon!

Ok:-) Do you think you can make the girl look like the girl in my second ranking design without the hat but a skirt and a power stance?

Thank you so much!!!!

Yes, will do!

Thank you! Can you make a second version of what I described on top but all black with pink purse? No face. This girl can be any race or nationality. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you for your feedback! I'll continue to work on this until it's exactly as you envision. : )

Hi! Thank you so much! I like how the sun and restructuring of the words came out:-) Another consideration is the girl.

A few changes:
1) I would like the girl to be in all black with colored purse, skirt and wide brim hat, the fashion model like larger hats.

2) The hat can slightly be covering her face. One doesn’t have to see her whole face. Emphasis on holding the big fashion model hat with confidence!;-)

Let’s see how that looks. I am bad with colors. This girl represents confidence, happiness, boldness, a new start, chic ness, love.......

I appreciate all of your hard work!!!!!

#46 I've reworked this one, let me know what you think. I will be here all day doing design work is you have feedback!

Thank you so much!

Perfect! I’ll work on these details tomorrow with fresh eyes. I appreciate your feedback.

3. I would like to emphasize the phrase "New Day" over the word "Step." So, can we make the "Step Into" a small font that sits on top of the phrase "New Day," where "New Day" is a larger/bolder font at the bottom and sticks out and is more noticeable upon a first look.

Hi! Aww I love the heart in the word step! I think this is moving in the right direction, but here are a few changes for your consideration:
1. Right now the lady seems "snobby." I'd like to make her look happy and carefree. For example, have her head turned to look out (as in the previous version), smiling, with a parisan hat, and with her right hand holding the brim of the hat with confidence.
2. On the right side of the logo, above and to the right of the "tep" in the word, "Step," Please add a subtle, almost faint sun, or a portion of a sun, so that the logo expresses the concept of the lady "stepping into a new day," with the sun representing the new day.

Thank you for all of your time and effort on this!

Brandis

#45 I've worked on the details of this one, cleaner door and details on the girl.

#44 What about something more like this? : )

I'll work on that now. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi! I’m feeling that the girl needs to exude more confidence. Can you keep the heart in some way without her holding on the a balloon. She may appear too young and I want her to be mature, chic and bold?

Yes, I like this. I like the glow of the door. I feel like what is missing is still a visible simple sun like presence. I also like the swoop you have with your 2nd design that ties it all together. I feel like it needs to be tied all together:-)

#14 I'll continue to work on improving this design today. I appreciate your feedback!

Ok, sounds great! Thank you!

I'm sorry for the delay, I've been away from my design desk all day. I will work on this now and send an updated version over as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Thanks for your feedback, Very helpful! I’ll work on an updated version with your comments in mind.

Hi! I like this and the girl! The second pink balloon is not necessary. The sun can be simpler. You have all the elements I like. Can a door fit in the design in any way? Like she is walking through and becoming a new?

Thank you!

#5 Hi.
I will continue to explore other ideas and ways to improve your logo. I know I can get the girl just right, might take a few tries, but I am up for the challenge!
Kind regards,
Janis

ok:)

I’ll explore other ideas and ways to improve my design tomorrow with fresh eyes.
: )

Thank you!

#3 Hi!
Here is my initial idea for your logo project. thank you in advance for your consideration and feedback.
Kind regards,
Janis
