Texas NextLogo Design Contest

Good job everyone...more picture marks using a "lone star"

Just an idea...but is there a way to style the words they way the FedEx logo is designed so that it has the arrow shape between the E and x see www.fedex.com

Just did our first ranking...all of the good...i think we like the graphic mark outside the wordmark like #4 & #6 (ranked as 1 and 3). We like the block lettering of all of the top 3 ranked designs. Keep up the good work

DO NOT USE SHAPE OF TEXAS such as #1, 2, 6, 12, 13. Use colors of Texas flag like #1-16. Will rerank in morning US time. Keep up good work

Hi designers! Thanks for your good work. We have just re-ranked the entries. Here is what we like:
- simple and clean word mark
- Lone Star that has a clever picture mark indicating motion
- deep and rich blue and red colors - see logo from this football team for color sample only http://www.houstontexans.com/

What we DON'T like:
- complicated word marks for Texas Next
- colors other than the deep and rich blue and red cited above
- NO SHAPE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Advice: I think a clever and clean moving Lone Star picture mark is key to a winning design

We will re-rank within the next 24 hours...keep up the good work!

Here are the official colors of the Texas flag for use in your designs.

Keep the ideas flowing...good job...consider the star only for style and color at http://www.tptitle.com/

Also, i can see we have too many words in the tag line...wonder if it might work to shorten the tag line to "Texas Capital [star] Texas Businesses"? Would appreciate seeing some ideas on this.

Keep the ideas coming...I still have not seen a star with the color and style seen at http://www.tptitle.com/

If possible, i would like to see some variations of Texas on top of Next with Capital and Businesses at the right of Texas, either resting on top of a wider Next or resting on top of the star mentioned in the previous post. Possibly, the star could be between Texas and Capital/Businesses. This reduces the number of times that the word "Texas" is used in the logo.

Designers, Thanks for your great work. We have updated our rankings and will continue to provide feedback over the next 24 hours prior to the top 5 downselect.

Hi Designers, Thank you for all your hard work. We have a lot of great designs to choose from. It was a tough decision to rank the top 5 logos/designs -- but we have not made those decisions.

For the next phase, we would like to see some variations of the top 5 ranked logos (#54, 108, 82, 73, & 74) with the taglines / subtitles we want to use with the main TEXAS NEXT logo.

In general, we want the emphasis to be on the TEXAS NEXT word mark and the graphic mark; however we would like to use some "light" words using gray or the blue in the logo below the word mark for different purposes. Again -- we want these words NOT to take away from the focus on TEXAS NEXT, but to subtly compliment them.

The taglines / subtitle words we want you to use to generate these variations are:

- Fund
- Capital
- Texas Capital Building Texas Businesses

Thank you and good luck!

correction to above post: we HAVE made the top 5 decisions.
