#2 This has the DUO at about the right size. Quite like the lightness and use of colours. The Mark is a little confusing - is it starting outwards and moving in or vice versa? Would like to see it reworked so it's distinctly starting from the centre and moving outwards (hope that makes sense). Perhaps a similar treatment whereby the Mark is surrounding the name?


#3 Good to see a stacked version of the words - like it! The moon mark is sweet but don't think it's right for us.

Thanks for your input!

Thanks yet again, am liking the purple and gold combo!

Pls see #38, would love to see yours use that "warmer" shade of purple and also get some of the tonal thing (sorry not sure of the term but, again, see #38) happening in the swirl.

Thanks so much for your ongoing efforts!

Hi again,

Before I rank this (into No. 1) could you pls adjust the font for the D.U.O.? I never noticed it before (hate how small the images are) but don't think it's quite right - more "straightforward" pls :-)

Great! Many thanks!! To tidy things up, am now going to move some of your earlier versions into the not interested section (but am sure you realise, it's not because I'm not interested anymore, just MORE interested in the latest versions :-)

Many thanks for your ongoing participation!

Hi again Nong,

We're getting down to the wire now! I'd love to see two final adjustments to #54

* Could you pls make the swirl more organic - similar to what you were trying to achieve in Number 24 but without the star looking quite so "blobby". The star could be a little more organic as well, but not so much as in No. 24

* The colour of the swirl is probably a little too "lolly like" now as it graduates to the lighter tones. Still like the graduation but maybe needs to be a little more regal in feel (starting dark and only getting a little lighter, not going so much into the pinkish tones).

Hope that makes sense and you can get revisions in before tomorrow.

MANY thanks!

Oh and for reference re. the star, I love the colour of gold used in #68

Sorry, me again, what I meant to say is, I love not only the colour of the gold in #68 but also the way it looks as though there's a spotlight shining on it and radiating out. Would love to see this effect applied to the star at the end of the more organic looking swirl.

You'll also be pleased to know, I just ran the top eight past someone whose opinion I value GREATLY and he chose yours! Think if we can nail the organic swirl (with its less pinky colouring) and the spotlight effect (and slightly more organic) rich gold star, it will be a winner.

Thanks yet again,

Sally

Hi there,

#81, sorry the swirl is far too heavy and doesn't have that organic/hand drawn look I'm after. Number 24 had much more of this feel (but didn't like it's blobby star).

Sorry, also not keen on the star in #81, again I'm after more of an "organic" feel if that's possible. If not, would prefer to revert to the star used in number 54.

Also, don't like the dot of the i being part of the swirl (but do like the swirl starting from this point as per number 54).

Sorry to say this colour's also not what I was looking for. It may be just my screen but the colours don't seem to be graduating at all (seems mono-tonal). I really liked the graduating colours used in number 54 because it adds to the feeling of movement. The only thing I didn't like was the pinkish way it ended up (would like to start dark and just become a little lighter to give a sense of movement).

Hope all of this makes sense and you can get changes in before the comp closes.

MANY thanks!

Oh Nong, we are getting REALLY close!

I think #85 is almost there but is it possible to do it with the darker purple (like in No. 84) and the star just a little bit more refined (but not by much)?

Thank you soooo much for the continued fast turnaround! I'll be online this evening for at least the next four hours and will keep checking in.

Cheers,

Oh gee, you're going to hate me with these last minute changes (I'm trying to convince my colleagues this is the way to go, hence trying to get it perfect!)

Star is now great design but doesn't have that rich gold, shining quality as shown in #68. Anything we can do there???

The purple still needs to be a deeper colour please

I loved the finness of the stroke in #82 and that's not present in #93 (perhaps going darker adds to this???).

Would love to see the swirl quite a bit finer at the start and finessed through until it's at the point under the P.

REALLY sorry to give you these last minute changes but yours is my favourite but I'm up against some who think otherwise . . . and, of course, the comp finishes tomorrow, so feeling a little frantic to get this design exactly right so no one can argue against it :-)

Thank you so much YET AGAIN!

#118 oh that's great to know, I didn't realise we could make changes in the judging time!

The swirl is looking great but I'd really like the gold (for star and font) changed to the rich gold used in Number 86

Thank you soooo much for all your hard work!

Congratulations on finishing in number one! I'll be conferring with my colleagues in the next few days re. the final decision.

Can you pls look at #89 and show me how your design would look with the purple background (think this is the direction we'd take for the business cards at least).

Thanks again!

Hi Nong,

PLEASE don't hate me for yet another request!!

Would it be possible to see #166 and #168 modified such that:

* The star is a little smaller

and

* The star is a little more hand-drawn looking (perhaps a cross between what you've done on #85 and #93)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Thanks, as always, for your wonderful cooperation Nong!

Am liking #169 / #171 but would like to see just one further minor modification please :-)

Can we pls try it with the star moving just a little more to the right (as if it has taken off on its trajectory) - so there's some white space between the end of the swirl and where the star is. Hope that makes sense!

Thanks so much for your ongoing patience!

Bye for now,

Oops, just realised, that doesn't have the vibrancy of colour of #174 (but then again, do I only get to get final files in one colour variations??)

Thanks so much Nong!

Of course it's difficult as colours will look different on every screen. Great to know you'll send through some variations on the purple - much appreciated!

Will send you a PM.

Thanks so much for all of your fabulous work!
