Good company name for the services you provide and your clientèle - suggestive of positive approach and outlook, joy, happiness, etc... I hope my concept is in step with that. I value your feedback...
Thanks for your feedback, and for the design! I really like your initial entry. I like the design. In line with the name, I think it conveys a positive and professional feeling, and I like your use of colors. Also, I like the font you used for the name and the fact that Sundance is bolded.
I'm not 100% I like the face. Also, I might like to see the logo to the left of the name, but I'm assuming that's not a big deal.
In addition to the values I listed, we also want to convey a sense of partnership and compassion.
Thanks for the look and specific feedback. I've made some subtle changes to the face and provided the alternate horizontal layout. Faces, of course, can be subjective, but I feel this one is a nice balance of suggestiveness - strength, kindness, benevolence, gentleness - it will likely strike a chord with young and old alike.
Thanks for providing the alternative look. I really like both looks.
I agree that the face does convey some positive attributes. I like the smile. I think it still looks a little complicated for the scale. Again if not complicated, is there a way to continue to convey the feelings of kindness, benevolence and gentleness with slightly less detail?
As a general rule I agree with your concern over detail. However, there are two things to bear in mind: first is that you're not likely to use the mark any smaller than what you're seeing already and second is that faces are somewhat more forgiving in that we are hard-wired to recognize them readily near or far, large or small.
Having said that, I'll continue to experiment and if I come up with something I like better, I'll be sure to post that too.
Thanks for the additional work! I also really like #7 & #8. It took me a few minutes to get #8, but I think it is very cool.
#3 is still my favorite so far. I think it is very evocative and creates a very strong and positive first impression.
I understand your comments on the facial detail, but I would probably still default to slightly less detail especially at the corners of the eyes and lips.
Might be cool to see a combination of #3 & #9, but that may be a little ambitious.
