Hi, here's my proposal. I made the film strip resemble as smiley braces. I hope I'm on the right direction. Please let me know. Any feedback would greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ryo,
Awesome logos and great variety! I have been showing patients in the office and they really like #69 the best. Here are some suggestions that could really make it what we are looking for.

For design #69
1 - It is difficult to tell that the smile is a film strip, and it seems that the film strip is not important to the patients. Can we just make it teeth and add braces.
2 - Love the color combo! Can we make the teeth white, the smile outline (lips) and the other start green

For design #68
1- Love that it looks like an iPhone App! Can we make similar changes to the smile as stated above for #69
2- Can we remove the little tail of the smile on the left to leave a clean line
2 - Can we change the font of "the braces place" to the font in #69 and make the word "Place" green

Thanks so much, these are awesome and are getting the most feedback from our target audience,

Hi, I'm back again! You can see the updated versions from entry #72 - #78. Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Ryo,
Those look amazing! I really love #78 and #74. Here are some thoughts
:
#78 - Can we try and reverse the blue and green in the color scheme to see what it looks like. Have the background green (with the same shading the blue had) and the "Place" blue. Can we also make the braces a lighter grey color to make them a little less dark.

#74 - Can you make the braces grey and add a border around it to frame it and make it feel more finished

Thanks for these awesome entries, and cant wait to see the revisions!

Hi, apologize for the delay. Here's the revised version
#90 : reversed color from #78 with light grey braces
#91 #92 : revised version from #74 with color variation
#93 #94 #95 : bigger star & smiling braces with few color variation

I hope we're getting closer to the final logo. If you have any thought, please feel free to ask. I'll do the best I could for you.

Thanks!

#89 is definitely the favorite! We just have a couple more ideas. Can we take #89 and add a lime green outer border but keep the blue on the inside the same (a border like #90 but more lime in color). Also, people have commented that the smile is too large and toothy, saying that it looks a little too childish/cheesy. Is there a way to make the smile a little smaller and the words "The Braces Place" a little larger to really highlight the name.

Thanks so much and we are getting close!

Great update!! Love the options on the smile - it looks very sleek and cool. I also like the doctors names next to each other. Can we try just a couple more things for #121
1. Can you make the outline border around it green like "Place" (keeping the inside blue)
2. Can we see it without the doctors names on the bottom as well

Thanks again, and the patients/parents (our target audience) really like the logo and are providing some good feedback!

WOW, we love these!!! Now its just hard to figure out which we like best! Excellent work. I will get some more opinions from our patients and give you more feedback. Let me tell you what we really like:

The way you slanted the image looks great, the addition of the green is awesome, and taking the names out of the "box" makes it look very clean.

I will leave more feedback soon, thanks again for such great work!

Here are some thoughts. #135 is a big favorite but people think the green on the bottom loses the look of the smile, so can we take #135 pule blue back on the bottom and outline the whole thing in green (Like #125). Then put a vertical line to separate the doctors names instead of a dash.

The oonly other thoughts we had would be to replace the star on the right with a larger version of the twinkle, just to see what that looks like

Thanks again and can't wait to see the changes!

Looking great! Can we see the twinkle from the left side moved to the right, and made bigger to replace the star. We would love to see what that looks like. Thanks!!!

Hi, I'm back again. Here's the updates :
#145 #146 #147 #148 --> still with star
#149 #150 #151 #152 --> replacing the star with twinkle
it's great idea to put the twinkles. It makes the smiling braces more standout! I guess the smiling braces is the most important part in this logo - instead of just using a rising star with braces. Thanks so much for the idea! If you have another suggestion, please do not hesitate to tell me.

Thanks again!

Hi Ryo,
Thanks for the update, sorry for the delay in feedback but I wanted to be able to collect a lot of opinions before I gave you more comments.

I love the idea of the twinkles, but the general consensus from patients/parents is that the multiple twinkle is too difficult to see in the logo. So, can we see:

#142 & 130 without the twinkle on the left.
#142 & 130 without the twinkle on the left and a LARGE twinkle replacing the star on the right

We were wondering if you could add more reflection/shading/shadowing (not sure which is the right thing) b/c when we look at #142 straight on in the computer I don't see the refection but when I tilt the screen then I see it. We would love to see that when the logo is printed it has depth.

Ryo, these are getting so good it is really had to pick between them!! I will tell you that the patients have consistently picked #142 and 130 as their favorites as well!!

Thanks for all the hard work!

Great work Ryo! I think we are just about there! Last few thoughts:

Can we see:
#153 with no shadow
#153 with no shadow and changing the green border to blue

I think that about every possible combo!!! Thanks for all your hard work and quick turnaround. We really appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Done!
Thanks so much for the rank!

If you still considering which version is the best, you don't have to worry. I'll be glad to provide you various version of the logo for the final files for you. You can have all the versions of the logo that I've submitted in this contest. Just tell me what the number, and I will send all of them to your email once we completed this contest. You can count on me!

Thanks again!

Best,
Ryo

Looks Great, Thanks again Ryo!

Thanks for that info about being able to provide various final versions, because it seem that one might work best for the sign and one would be better for print (and we still can't decide if we like the blue or green border around outlining the logo!)

Also, can we see the version of #156, #161, and #160 with the vertical line between the doctors names. (I thought we had that version, but can't seem to find it).

Thanks again and we hope to pick the final design early this week!!

Whoops! my bad. Okay, here we go : #165 #166 #167 #168
I can also provide you the black and white version and the solid color version in various file format if you need it.

Thanks so much!

Hi Ryo,
We love two versions of the design and would like to use both, if possible. One for the sign and one for our letterhead/t-shirts, referral pads, etc...

#165 - this one seems to be best for our sign because of its proportions. Can we see this one with the word "place" in the same green as in #164 (more green, less yellow)

#164 - this one we like the absolute best!! We would like to see this one with the border the color of #165 (so it has a little more green).

I have been unable to print these, so it is difficult to tell the colors and how it looks exactly because things change a little when I tilt my computer screen. Is there a way to place a very thing border around the letters in the words "the braces place" and around the logo? Just to help really define them from the page. Let me know what you think!!

Thanks so much and thanks for offering the black/white and solid color version, I will take you up on that and get back to you about the formats that I will need.

Thanks!!

Oops, forgot to add... can you make both stars look like #165

Thanks again Ryo!

Logo Designer
Sure! Here's the updated version : #169 #170

I guess you can't able to print this version with good quality since the logotournament just allowed the logos being displayed with low resolution. If you want the larger version, you should complete this contest and then you can have the high resolution file. But if you still want to add a thin border into the logo, here it is : #171 but in my opinion it looks not to good.

Thanks!
13 years ago
 
I agree that #171 doesn't look as good, looks to overdone with the outline. Love #170 and #169. Can we just see #169 without the shadowing as well. When we end the contest and get the final files, are we still able to make changes if they don't print well? Or do we have to get that all done before the contest ends?

Just let me know, thanks again!

Yes of course you can still ask me to do some revisions until you have approved the final files. It will be more easily for us to communicate since LT will allowing me to send the files directly to your email right after I'm being choosen as the winner. In fact, even if you have approved the files and then you find that something is missing, I'm still availlable for you to fix it. Just contact me via email whenever you need me. It is my job to make sure that you get exactly what you needed. No worries, you can count on me! :)

Ryo,
#170 and #172 are perfect! My understanding is that according to the rules, I am to give 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place to three different designers. But, I wanted to thank you personally for your hardwork, fast turnaround, and I appreciate how you really listen to my feedback. Thanks, and congrats for your winning designs!!
