One other note on all of the designs - there appears to be consensus among our group that we prefer "sentence case" - Capital T and C, but lowercase the rest of the letters - Temple Chai instead of TEMPLE CHAI.

We'd still like to try for a more modern looking chet and yud, something with cleaner lines (versus the rounded edges). Something blockier. Perhaps something like what you can see at this link, but with sharper edges? http://www.ekspublishing.com/hebrew-alphabet/handy-hebrew-writing-guide-package-of-10 Can you maybe try a few different versions of the chet and the yud?

We are getting so close. Can we see what this would look like if you made the tree a little bit bigger than the circle? Also, can we make the yellowish/brown a little bit more beige, more of a sandy desert color?

Yes it´s true. They are very similar.

Sorry i´ve submited this one, just noticed now you said it.

Thank you.

Warm welcome dear TempleChai,

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I´ve submited both options so you can appreciate, please check and let me know what do you think.

As always just let me know if you need anything else please.

Thank you!

We are getting so close. Wondering if we put a little bit of space between the chet and the yud. and, as a separate idea, is there a way to get the yud completely inside the circle (and I know that would change the circle a bit). And in terms of color scheme, can we push the yellow a little more towards beige, and have a little more contrast between the two blues? Thank you!!

Thank you for trying with these! I think this looks more like a 'pi' symbol than a chai.

You´re welcome!!

Yes you´re right, i´ve fixed that dear TempleChai. You have a great eye!

Thanks for the suggestion. I´ve updated this logo based your comment.

Feel free to ask if you need anything else.

Hello dear TempleChai,

Thanks for all the great feedback.

Sorry for the late reply, i was at work at the agency, i´ve arrive home few minutes ago.

Please check revisions done for your consideration and let me know what do you think.

I also agree simple is better.

Hi there - can we remove the chai from the tree and remove the tagline on this one? Any other way to convey the chai in a graphic here?

I like the way the Chai looks in this one, although I think the yod is possibly a little disproproportional?
Can you take a look at that" Also, the cactus still does not seem to work. Also, we are receiving feedback from community testers that they do not like the "tagline," so we would like to see this with just the Chai and the name, please. Thank you for working with us.

Warm welcome dear TempleChai,

I´ve submited a few revisions, please check and let me know if it´s this the direction:
- #117 | #118

Thank you so much. One other piece of feedback as we try to refine this - Can you try a version of this with a more modern, "block" chet and yud (versus the flowy, more traditional calligraphy look)?

Can you try a version of this with a more modern, "block" chet and yud?

One other comment on this - when pasted onto a white background, the text on the bottom seems to fade out considerably. Can we put that in a little bit of a darker color, and then also perhaps create a little more contrast between the two blues in the tree? thank you

Thank you for revising! Is there a way to make the 'yud' part of the circle instead of outside it? Also, I think the cactus attempts are not quite working within the circle. would it be possible to make an attempt to use a cactus in one of the words "Temple Chai"?

Thank you! This is very interesting. Can you add the word "robust" to "ignites Jewish life" in this? Also, can we see this with the same tree as in #74?

Hi again dear TempleChai,

Thank you.

Also, "18" is chai. So perhaps the tree would have 18 leaves if you did leaves?

Can you also try a version with a "tree of life" look in your multi colored circle?

Also, on your Cactus logo, we really like the simple, clean straight lines of the cactus, versus the calligraphy style of the chet letter here. Can you try doing that with the more modern, straight lines?

Love the color palette. Love the clean look. A couple of questions - would love to see what this looks like with "sentence case" (capital T, lower e, etc. - so, Temple instead of TEMPLE and Chai instead of CHAI). Also, we are missing the yud in the hebrew word Chai. (Take a look at our current website - templechai.com to see what we mean about the extra letter.) Also, we were wondering if there might be a way to integrate the chet (the Hebrew letter that is there right now) and the cactus together into a single mark, so that it looks like both a cactus and a chet.
