Thank you for the invite to your contest.

Because the examples you presented were all text based logos, I figured that was the best way to go. A play on the "communication" part of your business name, I added speech marks to give the text some pop.

#10:
Hi... Your option has been the best yet!

I loved the fonts and the colors....

Is it possible to play around with "Hybrid Think Tank"...????

I really liked your style... Please send more options...

I was wondering, is it possible to add something with a handwritten font?

Remember that we strive on our originality, elegance and our craziness as well as seriousness…

For example: http://www.ogilvypr.com/

The word “Hybrid” might look cool if it “hand written”…. Or any other of the words as long as it looks clean with a crazy but elegant touch… Also, that same “hand written” word might be orange or red….

Thanks!!!!

PS

Please feel free on sending any other proposition... it doesn’t have to do anything with the referral sites I gave.... If you feel that you have a good idea, please feel free on sending it.

#10 The Speech marks (little blue tornados on the “o”) are good but need some work… But if we add some handwritten words like suggested, “The Communications Lab” should have any distinctive… Just some nice font and color as it is.

#24: THIS IS LOOKING BETTER!!!!!!

Please I am not to sure about the symbols in the "o".... letr try to make is simple.... and play with the color....

"Hybrid Think Tank" look great....

probable take away the "..." before the "a"...

how would it look if all "Hybrid Think Tank" was in orange?

Same font/color, this time no speech marks but instead a little punch of orange on the dots of the i's.

#25: the idea is there…. Its just a matter of seeing more option for “The Communications Lab”..
For “Hybrid Think Tank”… are there other option of handwritten funky fonts???

I liked the the dots of the i's!!!... Could they be a bit more loud???... mayne another color?? or to make them look like they we put there by hand???.. to give "the communications Lab" the human touch.

LOL, I did this up before your comments but I thought I'd post it anyway...just flipped the fonts and used a different one for Hybrid

#25 and #27: I am very confused... I like both styles.... what would your professional opinion be???....

I would like to see more options of fonts and color using these two options….

And hey, if you have any other suggestions, bring them on!!! They would be very welcomed!

Logo Designer
A new "TCL" setup with the added "handmade" dots to the i's.

As for #27 I actually really like the idea of having a handwritten font for the title portion of the logo. The idea for that came from the Hugo Boss logo link you posted. It seems more people oriented with the informal font.

#31 : I hadn’t imagined this style.... but I really liked it although please work on it… This style could really convince me…. But I, insist, it’s a work in progress.

Something completely different. Keeping the "handmade" feel you like, I created an abstract beaker to play off the Lab portion.

#38.... You broke the patterns.... it is awsome!!!!!!!

This just made the 1 rank..... please.... lets play around this idea and the other you have made.... even my wife just said that this is the best.... lets keep it in mind.

#38: "a Hybrid Think tank" is a little too small.. Its very hard to read… try to make it more visible friendly….

Also, the words “The” and “lab” should be just a TINY bit darker but under that same scale of grey.
15 years ago
 
Logo Designer
LOL, I was hoping you'd be open to a completely different idea.

All the revisions you requested plus a little background "pop"

#44: perfecto...

The only thing that I would ask you to change back to the way it was is the Background... Please make it white, as it was.

Besides that, it is great.

Thank you so much for all your feedback! It always makes the jobs easier for us designers when the CH is active in the contest :-)

Without the background.

With a different bottle. I tried to get across the concept of what you create in the "Lab" are "bright ideas", hence the ball of energy in the beaker.

Client
#49: This option got me thinking.. I also liked it very much... Would it be possible to make the content of the bottle more "liquified"???

Client
#48: looks good.

Logo Designer
I'll definitely give it a shot, but please bear in mind that because it would look out of place amongst the other elements of the logo, I'll have to introduce gradients into the lettering to make the whole image more cohesive.

Client
#48: Is it posible for you to send me more option of colors of "the hybrid think tank" and of the lowerr part of the bottle... I loved the idea, but would really like to see more color option. "The Communications Lab" colors are fine!

A new color option as well as more liquid like colors within the beaker :-)

Client
#65 and #64:... Thanks for the options.... I like better the way #48 looks.... The liquidification and bubbles are very nice. the original version looks better.

I will descard the green... the blue Im going to leave just in case.

Also, please see if "hybrid think tank" can be in a funkier and more original font... example http://www.leoburnett.com/

#66: it look better although I would like something more original...

Concerning the color blue.. I still like better the orange... By any chance, could the orange be stronger??

I am still searching for an idea that blows my mind... you have been the closest one, but I am sure that you will come up with something totally incredible!

Now for something completely out of the box.

With this logo, I tried to make it seem as if a quote had been taken from a book or newspaper, with the Hybrid Think Tank portion appearing as an excited notation underneath.

In this one, I shaped the words into a box to represent the "thing tank" aspect from the tagline. To even further that, I inserted the beaker to combine the lab/think tank part.

#68... I would take away the exclamation mark in "Hybrid Think Tank"

Client
By the way.. I liked Much more the new organe than the old one... good choice!

#67 also has a lot of potential... Who knos??.. Maybe someting can come out of that one!!!

By the way, for the first time, gossip was right!!! You do incredible designs!!!!!

Client
#68: Something in the was "lab" is together with "the" just doesent look right.. dont you get that same impression?

#67: the two "idea" icons before and after "The Communications Lab" seem funny.. maybe if they differently shaped.....

Please let me know if I am being to critical!!!!

LOL, sorry I'm flooding this competition with entries and no, you're not critical at all, I'd rather you tell me what needs to be changed than just discard a concept because of a small issue :-). And you are right about the "lab" and "the"...it does indeed look unbalanced. I'll see what I can do.

This one is just another layout that's possible.

I do have to add, if you do decided to go with me, any and/or all of the options I've done can be included in the file transfer.

Just a replacement for the one ranked first. Darker orange and new font for Hybrid text.

(This comment references Entry #70)

New image and color. I also found that the issues with the words disappears when I "open the box" to let the "bright ideas" out.

(This comment references Entry #71)

Another reworking of the words, this time with the "lab" and "the" actually working together to form a possible nickname for your business.

Client
#72: Definitly the use of letters and wors was perfect.. Besides "The lab"... in smapnish "Unica" means "the only one"... this turned out to be great.

I like the light bulb, bit what doesent quite fit in is the color used for "a Hybrid Think Tank" how would another color make it????

Please try other colors for "Hybrid Think Tank" and send me the one you -as a professional- like the most; The size is good but that color doesent stan out.

#72: How would "A hybrid Think Tank" look inside the box insted of the Light Bulb... Changing the colot to red or some other option?

Text in box - your suggestion of red was the best color for this particular set-up

And looking at different color combos for the light bulb, I kept going back to the blue...it just seems to pop a little more with this particular image.
