I really like the tie in with the CRC Association colour and ribbon. My only hesitation is whether the ribbon is too much associated with other causes like AIDs, White Ribbon Day etc.?
I think "The Australian" disappears a bit on the blue background.
Thanks for your feedback, I understood your concern about my concept resembles to AIDs, etc. So I will try to bring some other options to make it different. I'll be back as soon as possible, thanks.
#7 and #8 Wow. these look terrific - thanks for taking on the feedback so well.
I like the ribbon element and think it is distinctive without reminding me of anyone else's brand.
I like the darker background, but perhaps the "classier" look is with the royal blue background on your first effort. The colours might then become a bit too complex? Maybe the blue background but with only two only colours might work well?
The shape is about right, so we can use it on the Awards themselves and marketing material.
Thanks for this latest I'm not sure how it would look on a laser print on a trophy. I like the classy look of a deep blue background, but it might not work brilliantly in print. Looks great.
I understand, blue in many case actually little hard to match, but i hope you not so worry. It should be my responsibility to help client make sure everything goes well and has final print satisfying. Thanks for this latest feedback, anyway.
