my only inputs would be that i don't like the one with the mug and i would like to see something cooking related in the design (i.e. chef's hat, chef's knife, spoons etc.
I really appreciate that you thought to put barley in them!
edwin, i really do like your work and the theme of this design!
here are somethings i would like to see in the design. keep the chef's knife but loose the fork and spoon and add in a wooden mash paddle (you can google images of these easily). maybe change the star in some of the logos to a chef's hat. if you could add in some hops somewhere in the design that would be great.
also if you google "hop bines" and look at the images you'll see a large variety of the plant and its flowers/cones. is there any chance you might be able to make them "grow" around the border of the emblem?
edwin, thanks for the new entries. your work has been the favorite so far. i'd still like to work with the hops in #47 and #47, they just seem like too much. could you make them seem more realistic? I'd also like to see some of your different takes with all the elements that are in these. maybe crossing the knives, making the mash paddle (the paddle in #45,46, and 47 are exactly what i wanted) go straight up. i'd like to see versions with that done inside the emblem and with that done behind the emblem. also barley has hairs that grow out around the seeds (if you google "barley anatomy" you will see what i mean). i'd like to see that incorporated in the logo.
These latest revisions #90 #91 have less hops and I make the more realistic than before, and I also put the hairs to the barley.
When you said "behind the emblem" did you mean you want me to place the knife and mash paddle behind the whole emblem? because it will make the knife and mash paddle a lot of bigger than before. Can you explain it more for me?
Edwin, thanks for the details on the hops, they look great! yes, i would like to see the knives and mash paddle taken out from the middle of the emblem and placed behind the whole emblem. i know that will make them bigger, but i'd like to see what it looks like. and i have a few more requests... for #13 i would like to see it with the knives and mash paddle behind the emblem and i would like to see one with a tulip glass in place of the pint glass, and could you do one with the hops they way they are in #90 and #91. i would like to see all versions of that, so that i can look at them side by side. for #91 i would like to see the knives and mash paddle behind the emblem with the hops and one without the hops. thanks pete
edwin, thanks for making all those changes and requests!! I love all the work that you have submitted and appreciate the responsiveness to my requests and confusion... and i have some more requests. #13 is by far my favorite... the only thing that keeps me from picking it right now is that it doesn't have a cooking element in the design. I think all my requests for changes have stemmed from that. I would like to see what you would add to it to put a cooking element in it. I would also like to see all new ones with the detailed barley. and one with the chef's knives crossed behind the beer glass, inside the emblem. thanks! pete
edwin, thanks for all your hard work on the logo. at the end we just felt that something was missing and have decided to go with the other artist. thanks pete
