Here is my variation on the eagle/pyramid idea for your review and consideration: #14. I made a strong and aggressive eagle, with motion lines to show exactly how swift he is.
Let me know if you want to see any additional variations on my design, and I will be happy to provide them.
I envision this standing alone on its own, as needed, when the full logo is not as applicable. It's a very clean and simple, yet strong and bold eagle.
I think in a lot of ways an eagle by itself embodies what it is you stand for and strive to do. With that said, here is a more polished and professional design/layout for your review: #17
This is my personal favorite thus far, but if you are set on the pyramid idea, then this obviously will not work. Totally up to you.
Thank you for listening to all of my thoughts as I progress through this project.
Good evening GGD, Thank you so much for all your entries and for being so thorough in sharing your thoughts for all your designs. I also really appreciate that you even went as far as to show me the close-up of the eagle to be used on it's own when logo isn't applicable. Now to my thoughts on all the designs I've ranked:
#17: it is my favorite of all your designs! I really like your use of the blue color, grey, and how everything is perfectly crisp and centered. As much as I want the pyramid to be an integral part of the logo, this design makes me a believer that perhaps I don't need it. I'd like to request some variations to this design: 1. Please remove the "+" between Wealth and Management (in this and your other designs) 2. Although I agree with you in that the eagle it's a clean & strong bold eagle, could you please provide some other variations of the Eagle? As you've indicated the eagle stands for what I strive to represent with my brand, and I want to have an amazing strong, powerful, protective looking American Bald Eagle if I'm to do away with the whole pyramid/puzzle pieces idea (did you know MN is home to the largest population of nesting Bald Eagles outside of Alaska?) Thanks in advance for your work
#14: I really like your variation of the eagle/pyramid idea. I like how the eagle is on its way to put the final piece together. Now to the variations: 1. I think based on how much I like your design #17, I think the motion lines aren't needed 2. Pyramid: 2a) Regarding the puzzle piece: is there a way that you could make the puzzle pieces a little more dramatic? I guess by dramatic I mean to make the pieces different from the others (see the black pyramid on the ranked design of dapc79) - all his pieces are different from each other, the puzzle pieces are well defined, and they all end up fitting nicely together 2b) Regarding color of the pyramid: I'm not sure I want the blue on the bottom, then grey, and then again blue- perhaps could you show the pyramid in all the same color? Maybe the all the pyramid pieces in blue? (but still showing that there are puzzle pieces that are being put together) 3. Overall color: I really loved how well you put the colors together on your design #17- If it's not too much work, can you maybe show the colors (blue, silver/grey, and black) to be used all across your design. For instance: pyramid blue (as well as the missing puzzle piece the eagle is carrying), the title of the business grey/silver, and the eagle black (feel free to rotate the colors around each subject)- again, I did love the colors on #17, just exploring different combinations 4. I like how you used lines to enclosed the word "Wealth Management" on your design #17, can you enclose your #14 design by these lines as well? 5. I guess if you come up with an eagle for your Master Piece #17 that I like more than the one you first showed me, I'd like to see it in this design as well
Have a good night and thank you for all the time and effort you're putting into it.
Hello Jorge, I didn't want you to think I had forgotten about you :)
I am fine-tuning a new, bigger and bolder eagle for you. I really think you will like it, and I can see it being strong enough to be a stand-alone icon as well!
Hello GGD, Thank you again for your submission. I agree with you in centering the eagle. Now if you can provide me with some additional options: 1. Can you make all the letters on the word SUCCESS the same size? The first "S" looks bigger than the rest. Also, can you maybe try a different font? I might be wrong but it looks perhaps a different font on SUCCESS vs WEALTH MANAGEMENT (if that's the case, I like the font on WEALTH MANAGEMENT) 2. Can you compact a little all the writing? (as if we are putting more emphasis on the Eagle itself vs. the words) 3. Can you work on other Eagles? I want the eale to be the focal point. Of all the finalists, you are the only one I'm working with in which there's no pyramid or puzzle piece so I'd like an Eagle to be beautiful/magnificent 4. Can you also work with a black background instea of blue? Again, using a color scheme of only Blue, Black, SIlver (unless you incorporated other colors for the bald eagle black with its white head and tail and yellow talons & yellow beak)
