Liquid colors blending and splashing.

#1 & #2 Thanks for designing. I like the concept of the liquid colors but would like to go more dramatic in design, especially in color.

Thank you for the feedback. I developed the splash concept a bit more, and found that the second of these designs begins to hint at a map as well.

This is much more like it, thank you so much...I like the face concept is there a way to show the face is made up of something else...like a jigsaw of something that makes a face...the blue font is not working for me though..a little thicker maybe and more dramatic.

Here is another font option -- very different from the other. I have other font options we can try, but I wanted to see how you feel about a freehand-style version. Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll keep going with the face-as-map concept and see where it takes us, and maybe try a more puzzle-like version as well. I love doing illustrative logos, so I'm happy to try a few more for you when I get the chance.

The three colors, red-yellow-blue, are the primary colors that can create all others. It's also cool to have a colorful design that is limited to just three, which might be less expensive (if done as spot colors) at printing than a full-color printing would be.
Just let me know if you want to see variations.

This one does face-within-flower to introduce the natural elements.

#15 I agree with the 3 color concept red yellow & blue..the wording is strong and I would like to keep this one in mind...even though it's colorful something just above a watermark for the picture and the strong logo color is appealing.
#16 I also like the way the color changes in the font..maybe primary colors for this one? The flower comes across to me as dated though..slightly reminiscent of another skin product...Is there some way to make the flower more up to date...maybe use the three color rule..I like the idea of the primary colors making all others...gives another dimension that I hadn't thought of...
#13 Not working for me...getting busy...can we keep it simpler since we are using primary colors?

Can you combine the wording of #15 with the picture of #9

Logo Designer
Here are the combined elements you requested. Also, if there is a particular floral or natural element or shape you wish to reference, let me know and I'll see if I can incorporate it in trying to make the flower more appealing to you.

We could also do the face within the S to create a strong, simple mark that could stand up well alone and reproduce easily. By varying the style of the "S" we could go more masculine or feminine. I like this one because you get the strength of the letter with the softness of the face.

#26 is the closest to what we are seeking. The Primary colors are interesting and dramatic and the design is clean and uncluttered...well done! #27 looks clumped...not liking the blue in the middle...but much simpler design that you can read from afar.

Client
#27 Maybe the "s" of #10 (or along those lines?) like a splashed "s" maybe? would you be able to get the face of #26 on it?

Thanks for the feedback. I was about to upload this one when I got your message. I'll give us both a break and let the dust settle after this one. Thanks again for comments. I'll be monitoring the contest and can do more if you need me to.

Oops. Commented at the same time. I will see what I can do on last feedback as well. Thanks again.

Thanks..great going so far...I like #26 everyone else likes #16. Need it to be easy to read from afar. Can we combine the two without getting cluttered or busy...I don't know if this will work. #28 still not working for me...coming across as clumpy for some reason.

#29, #30 & #31 - the elements don't seem to want to work together...even though I like the face it's not coming across in the flower or the "s". At this point I'm not sure this path is working.

#26 Can you put this one on a background and elongate the wording? Maybe invert colors on a brilliant red background with the other primary colors making up the hint of face and lettering (adding white letters?). or something that works so we have a splash of color when seen from afar.

I'll continue to work on working one out on red.

We really like the direction of #46 Can you put the dots in the middle of "one world One skin"

Here are a couple of more intense backgrounds with the white lettering. I changed the green value in one of the designs as well. These are all now in full CMYK color, but if my design is selected I'll give you the spot color values began with and/or be willing to provide a version with more limited colors if you need it. Any of the designers would likely do the same, and we are required to provide black and white versions as well, if requested. Let me know if you need me to keep at it. If you comment on my individual designer page or send a PM I'll be notified of the comments and can get back to you quickly.
