The Australian BarberLogo Design Contest

Oh I see I am out of the rankings, well I just wanted to thank you for all the help, and good luck in this contest :) cheers

Hello, thank you for your direction I just upload different versions and what you directed. All these colors of easily changeable if you like. just let me know. cheers

Hi there! We have had a meeting with our collegues and would like to have some changes on this one, if you are up to it! We really like the simplicity of this logo and we think we could make something else out of it.

1. Remove the spider please completely.
2. Change text colors: Black: "THE" and "BARBER", red: "AUSTRALIAN"
3. Change the background to gold, something like RGB-R:169,G:140,B:62
4. Put the whole text into a black, rectangular frame
5. Inside the frame the background should be striped like the middle picture on this picture and the logo should be in the middle. You can downsize the text if you like to, so that the whole thing will not be too large! Sample: https://www.google.hu/search?q=barber+shop+icons&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjlxLXpkuzMAhWKJZoKHa8sAMwQ_AUIBygB&biw=1920&bih=971#imgrc=jelYnekg6qPX9M%3A

I hope i did not mess up the description and you get everything! :) I have uploaded an image to imgur (forgive me for the crude design) - the stirpes can be either gold / black or white / gold or any combination thats good for the eye!

The T represent the hair, and you know about the Scissors in the spider already :) Just and idea I had! cheers

Here is what I came up with, This logo works in BW and color perfectly!
I am going to try another version later on! let me know your thoughts!..

Sure, thanks for the design. We basically like this logo, but we choose another one as a first because the spider on that logo was worked out in more details and it looked a better to be honest.

We think that this logo could benefit from the following:

1. Changing the blue colored texts to black, and making them bold.
2. Redesigning how the spider is worked into the logo. I think if you designed another spider that is magnified and placed into the logo in way, the either of the red letters are worked into the back of the spider, would look great.

I hope you get it, this is what I was thinking of (sorry for the terrible representation): http://imgur.com/Iyu5Eis

Hello, May I ask for my next submission should I try with a different visual elements, meaning instead a spider for me to be in first place :) or should I stay with spider! thank you!

It looks cool, the font that you used in the text "AUSTRALIAN" looks good!

You could change the barber pole on the spider to a single, thin red line.

We think, it would look much better if you downsized the spider and put it into the right upper corner to the text, like its crawling away from letter "N"

Hello Thank you so much for the feedback and the direction, I have submited my revision's. cheers :)

The idea of having a spider with scissor-like head is quite unique. We loved it, but we think theres too much in this logo. You could make the following changes if you can to make it simpler:

- remove the web from the background
- remove the red/blue colored half circle from the logo
- you could give the spider longer legs and slimmer body so that it could resemble more to a redback, like here: https://www.google.hu/search?q=redback+spider&client=firefox-b-ab&tbm=isch&imgil=EUXNDFVlHRCVPM%253A%253BlQ0ss_scwT6CnM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.outback-australia-travel-secrets.com%25252Faustralian_spiders.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=EUXNDFVlHRCVPM%253A%252ClQ0ss_scwT6CnM%252C_&usg=__bAq7BpNBVnhorqN83ucIy4N6Axc%3D&biw=1280&bih=610&ved=0ahUKEwjzzomhl-LMAhVBEpoKHaVSC2YQyjcINA&ei=S547V7P9GcGk6ASlpa2wBg#imgrc=tH6YYSpe593gnM%3A

its no problem if the spider is a bit more 'nasty' the scissored-eye look will make it look quite cool

- also the text should come off the spiders back
- you could change the red spot on the spiders back like its a red/white barber pole (we mean someting like this: https://www.google.hu/search?q=red+white+barber+pole&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOyvL-l-LMAhWkK5oKHQnnBGUQ_AUIBygB&biw=1280&bih=610#imgrc=1UIIuoDnSpAWjM%3A)

I think these changes would make it a very unique and versatile logo!

Let us know your thoughts!

Thanks,
