I've gone for something that illustrates 'pin-point' - but with a twist - the shadow is a productivity arrow on an upward trend. Feedback welcome.

Thanks for the feedback - really helps the process move along faster ... here is a concept including the clock you asked for. Please feel free to ask for alterations, best wishes,

Could you please make the pin one arm of the clock, and the shadow the other? The clock is not very noticeable. Thank you for your work!

could be an abstract clock with no real numbers or something like that...want to indicate we work fast and to the point could actually incorporate an hour glass some kind of way

thanks for your work you seem to be the artist working the hardest on our project...wonderful to see! Can you shade the font from dark to light and bring the shade of the clock up some more so it is more noticeable? we are sooo close! Thx

I'm happy to work on it - I enjoy the good feedback ...

I'm not sure which part you wanted shading dark to light ? - but here is a version where the timer is more prominent ...

Don't worry you'll see a flurry of activity as others try and jump in at the last minute - its not my style though :)

I would like to see something in between #7 and #13. Can we bump up the gray on the clock up from #7, but down from #13? I prefer the subtleness of the lighter clock. Yet, I am also wanting to take into consideration reproduction quality. I also like the darker tag-line. Do you have some thoughts or considerations you would like to share with us?

(There are 2 of us commenting. I/we will need to be sure that we are both in agreement before final selection.)

No problem - this should be half way between the two - and the tag line is a darker grey ...

what is your experience of this art reproducing in embroidering and screenprinting? and will the art work you provide when you win the contest be all we need to get t-shirts and hats etc produced...you by the way are our by far first choice...nice work!

Client
what colors and fonts are used so we can continue to reproduce this as you have designed it...we will also be using adjunct offerings we will call Team A.R.T. how do you suggest such a thing?

The general rule of thumb for embroidery and screen printing is use as few colours as possible, and try and avoid gradients of colour - stick to solids.

Having said that, you can pretty much print anything on anything these days, so its less of a concern than it used to be.

The current 1st rank of mine would probably not work in embroidery to be honest, but I can't see it being a problem on T-shirts.

In terms of fonts, the two I have used in this design are called Estilo and Granjon Small Caps.

Currently the colours are in CMYK which is the standard for 4 colour process printing.

This is a version that just uses solid colours and no gradients - this gives you an idea of how it would need to be if it were to be silk screen printed, or embroidered. Of course you could use both versions for different applications.

this one is another version just using solid colours (2 colours, black and red) with a bit of extra detail on it.
