I like the colors, font and idea. The feet representing the step-by-step phrase is the kind of ideas I am looking for. Very clever and well done. I would like to incorporate the visual message of something that appears to be a challenging task- made much easier with a simple and easy to understand guidebook. I think this relay's the message pretty well.... I would like to possibly do some different versions of the house / square image to make it a little more defined?? Or something......
Referring to #17- I like it. Can we make a blue shadow as the image of a front door and put the "T" in Tax appeal in the center to make the "T" pop (similar to #16 blue box the "Tax" is in only smaller; maybe put a small blue window frame (just a frame with a cross in it to see the background green throughout the blue frame) in the upper level centered above the door? I like the $ out of the chimney. How about maybe 2-3 "$" signs coming from the chimney getting smaller and turning slightly as they go up... Like Large (being similar size and position as what you have) Medium and Small- or fading (more transparent as it is going in the sky.. if it looks okay- it may be too much. Or possibly incorporate the $ to start the Step-by-Step lettering? I don't want to offer too much. I'm not very creative so I will let the contest do what it is designed to.... It looks good.
This will not be a waste of time.... I promise. I just need to try a couple more versions. #25) I like #25 Can we make the feet blue and all the way across like in version #24? Can we shift "Tax Appeal Guide" over to the right some? It looked better the way it was and not centered. Can we make the front door on #25 look more like a book- with a turned page or something?
#11) Many of my friends have said to just select Version #11. Can we add the fading $ from the chimney to #11 and see how it looks.With version #11 I didn't realize that the green box was a book until others pointed it out to me. Can you make it look more like a book? With a turned page or something? Now I see the idea you had much more clearly.
#24) Can you Shift "Tax Appeal Guide" over to the right (not centered) on version #24.
You have put a TON of time in this and I really appreciate it. What version do you like best? Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks, Mike
Here's a stab at one of the variations you discussed. I'll submit more when I get a chance later this afternoon. I don't mind continuing to adjust things as needed. Thanks,
