Strawberry Creek Inn B&BLogo Design Contest

Okay Sir, thank you for your information.
Please let me know if you still want another revision to the design.

best regards,
van ibra

thank you for the revisions.

I've kept the top one ranked, though we like your other versions of the lower portion.

Rankings of the top 5 are in constant flux for now, not finalized.

Negative mode on from #242

Negative mode on from #235

Thank you for your response.
I think I will still go with the roof design only.
In my opinion this design looks more clean and modern. Because the details are not too complicated, so it's easily applied in various media and sizes, such as embroidery and others, .
Thank you.

Another variation.
Please check also drafts #241 & #240.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please check drafts #234 & #235, there are another option to minimize the space between swoosh and 'CREEK IN'.
Thank you.

ok. fair enough ;) that makes sense...
we're in the middle. We do like your other full house design like #116, but your unique ANGLE of the later designs (with the partial house) really pops and impresses.

If you were to do a full house or more of the house it would need to be a continuation of THIS STYLE and angle.

Hope that helps.

This is a difficult process because all the finalists work is good, just different.

It's not my intention to compare with others, just to make sure I'm still in the right direction. If you change your mind to use the entire building, I will also try to develop my other designs. Because previously I had also sent another designs using the whole building.
Just make sure I'm still on the right direction, because currently I'm still developing my design. :)
Thank you.

best regards,
van ibra

Hi Van Ibra,

I had a conference call with my other business co-owner this evening, he's travelling for work. For this design, he feels that the space between the green water 'swoosh' and the 'CREEK INN' text that is solid red (used to be white and I asked for your to make solid) is too heavy. We're wondering if you can show us options with maybe moving the green 'swoosh' down or the text horizontal or something to open it up.
I hope that makes sense.

Hi Van Ibra,
Can you clarify the question? Are you asking compared to other finalists?

Sorry if I ask about this, have you changed your mind to use the design with the whole building?
I'm just a little curious about this. :)
Thank you.

best regards,
van ibra

thanks ranking this one

Here is the design on black background.

thanks for all the revisinos Van Ibra!
You're making many changes before we think of them so you're definitely heading in the right direction!

Can you revise this and all future revisions on black background (for now) so we can see the contrast better? please just update this one for now on black.

Another variation using slightly larger text on 'STRAWBERRY' & 'CREEK INN'.
I've also uploaded this design in negative mode (#230) and one color scheme (#231).
Thank you.

Hi,
Here is an updated design with a larger 'STRAWBERRY' text.
I also made several improvements to the design, to make it look more presentable. Simplify the details on the tree and tidy up some edges so they are not too stiff and more proportional.
Feel free to provide your feedback.
Thank you.

You are most welcome!
Let me know if you have any other comments and/or suggestions.
I'm still continue to develop and update the design.
Thank you.

THANKS for the quick revisions!

moving these to 'not interested' so i can focus on versions with all caps text.

Here is updated design based on your previous feedback, please check also drafts #200.
Drafts #201 & #202, the design using ALL CAPS on the 'CREEK INN' as you mentioned before.
Thank you.

ok thanks.

One more thing I forgot. can you do the text ALL CAPS, so the 'Creek Inn' revised into "CREEK INN". thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
Working on it!

hi Van Ibra,
thanks for the revision!

we like the house on this version the best! let's lock it in.

however we like your trees ins your #137 better, as these trees here in #169 are too detailed.
Can you use this version revert to the trees in #137?

Lastly, please put on a black background with a white line double the thickness of the green exterior line around it. I will be asking all artists to do this.

Of course, it's no prolem.
Currently I'm still developing that design, let me know if you have any other comments and / or suggestions.
Thank you for choosing my design as one of the finalists, I look forward to your further feedback.

best regards,
van ibra

thank you for all the wok on the artwork.
it is EXACTLY what we are looking for. congrats! you've made it into the finalists.

thanks for the full negative...
we will want one of these if you are selected as the winner :) as a final version of your final work. that should be no problem, right? you are in the top 5 finalists as of now!!! congrats

Hi,
Here is the design based on your previous feedback, please check also draft #138.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for your feedback.
It's very helpful, working on it!
I'll be back with a couple of drafts soon.
Thank you

hi.
ok. this one and #117 are great other versions and we're seriously considering them.

What we like from all your designs taken as a whole are the HOUSE line art from #122 (its just the right amount of detail, these are too detailed) and the trees from this line artwork. I know, they are differing in detail, but you can simplify the trees a bit if needed, but we feel the final product will have the house of #122, the trees from #116 and simlar ones, possibly simplified, and the area between the ~ under the house and the 'Creek Inn' will be filled in red like in #122 as well.

These will probably be the last revisions before finalists selection.

Hi Vanivra,

WOW, so many updates today I'm having a hard time keeping up....
ok, you have one or two other designs that have become our absolute favorites and hit the nail on the. I'll comment on those.

For this one, can you revise the line art (as I will post in the other one) and also please change the font to our standard font. I appreciate what you did to show us other options, but the font is set (you can compress, expand, or change its shape if you need to).

We want to see a version of this layout with our selected font and the revised line art.

Updated from draft #79.
Please check also drafts #116, #117, #118 & #119.
Thank you.

Hi there.
thanks for the great ervisions... you hit it right on!

can we remove those darned stars (not your fault, mine, see discussion on brief from today, I gave the wrong message).

Maybe insert branch or even just a line to connect STRAWBERRY and Creek Inn.

Nevermind just saw the oval version!

Wow, this looks great.
placing in top 3!

Can we see a horizontal oval version or other shapes... get creative!

Hi,
Draft #79, updated based on your previous feedback.
Another variation on draft #80.
Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback.
Working on it!

Hi Vanibra84, thanks for joining the contest and submitting!

We really like and apprecite that you created your own artwork and simplified our existing ones... you're on the right track.

We also like how you did the house! I think your is the closes to the re-interpretation and original modern artwork we're looking for.

What we'd really like to see are :
a) if using oval, please put the words on the outside of the oval, as in my (bad!) illustration, with "STRAWBERRY" on top and "CREEK INN" on the bottom. Usage of 'B&B' is optional but should be minimized
b) come up with new shapes! we've seen ovals, diamonds, even pentagons. We don't want really want another traditional septagons (like QuietCreek Inn) but we've seen some combinations or variations on septagons that might work.
c) please stick with only 2 colors, red/green and not the Quiet Creek light blue. We see what you did and the sky/ river does look good in blue but we're trying to create a suite of logos (Quiet Creek / Strawberry Creek) that share one color (green) but each have a distinct second color. The distinct second color for this project is the red.

On the line art you created, maybe less detail on the trees, more stylized. Also, the trees should not look like Quiet Creek Inn's trees

We're really looking forward to your next revisions!
