I like #259. Can you work up some different color options and do some tweaks so I can see some plays on the concept.
8 years ago
 
Client
Also on #259 I like the look but if I was driving by a real estate sign it may look a litte strange that the last name juts out to the left quite a bit.

Hello dear Dan,

Sure i´m working and do a study on colour.

Can i ask you a favor please? Can you remove me from the 1st place and put me maybe on 15th in these last few 6 hours. I would appreciate that.

If you still like my logo after those hours you can rank it as you wish. Thank you very much dear Dan.

Anything more you may need feel free to ask please.

Thank you.

Kindly Regards,

Sure, what is the significance of moving you to 15th?

Also any way to swap the side of logo and name? It looks strange that my last name juts out to the left. Just keep as is and swap the logo and the letters.

Logo Designer
Thank you very much dear Dan. I really respect you for doing that.

Only because designers follow a lot the 1st ranked design. I feel more confortable working not being 1st.

Please check revision done for your consideration: #282

Did you like the colours combinations i´ve worked for you Dan? If yes, let me know the number of the design, so i can give you the text with the logo on his left.

Any suggestion you want to give feel free.

Thank you.

#282 can you put a little house in the circle instead of the window
8 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Hello again dear Dan,

Thanks for the feedback.

Circle window i can´t because another designer already used that shape, and we can´t submit similar designs. But i think the square window design is more balance with the logo shape.

I´ve done a variation of the window, please check: #326.

What do you think?

Anything more you want to suggest is very welcome. Thank you.

Kindly Regards,
João

I would like a house with no window at all. The house should look like the house in the logo that is currently ranked number 1. Just make it a solid color

Client
Can you do a circle inside there with a house in it? I would like a house in the middle of the circle at the center of the map pin.

#282 can you move TEAM to the right instead of having it on the left.

I would like to see that and #362 in the colors of the logo I have ranked #6. I like the black and red with silver background.
8 years ago
 
Client
Also, Can you try working the map pin into my name in place of the letter o? Just wondering what that would look like.

Here is a reference. Something similar to this: https://dribbble.com/shots/797944-Logo-for-Bedrooms-sk

I would like a little more of a creative font if it was just my name and the map pin worked into it.

Let's work with #370 I like that layout.

I would just like to see some creativity with the map pin. I like the size and shape but feel there could be more within the circle or utilizing the shape of the map pin.

Here is some inspiration:

https://dribbble.com/shots/257436-Rental-search
https://dribbble.com/shots/207150-Location-map-pins-for-travel-blog (Like the feel of these colors and the simple imprint)

Thank you for working on this I know it is late in Portugal.

Is it possible to make any changes after the finalist stage of the competition?

This bridge is a popular land mark in Sacramento.

https://dribbble.com/shots/1911696-Sacramento-Sports-Hall-of-Fame (I like this bridge)
http://www.cityofsacramento.org/~/media/Corporate/Images/General/TowerBridge.jpg

Maybe it could jut out of the circle? Not sure.
8 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Warm welcome dear Dan.

I´m glad i can help you. After the finalist stage only 1st ranked designer can submit changes. But you can change ranks between designers if you need. And them re-rank again many times as you wish. After the finalist stage you have long time to decide your final logo do not worrie.

Thanks for the tip. Funny that in the begging of the contest i´ve thought in working something with the bridge, because i read in the brief "Sacramento California" but i was not sure you would like it. Will try it.

Still working on your logo. Thank you.

Hello again dear Dan,

I´ve worked some logos for your consideration, i´m only submitting the best ones:
1 - #395 | #396 | #398 | #399 | #400 | #401 | #402 | #403 | #404 | #405

Let me know what do you think dear Dan. Any doubts you may have just ask me.

I´ve lost sense of the time I was having fun working on your logos, here is 4:45 am now. I will sleep now, but i will be back again tomorrow dear Dan.

Feel free to ask for changes if needed please. It will be my pleasure working on them.

Thank you.

#398 let's see stuff similar to this style concept. Let's skip the red white and blue color combo because it makes it look like a presidential campaign. Can we try this in aqua blue & black with yellow bridge? I think the bridge has to be yellow for people to connect it to Sacramento. If you can take pretty much the exact graphic of the bridge I gave you and slap that on there that would be great to see. It can jut out of the top of the map pin.

I would like to also see something universal that would make people connect to real estate somehow. A house or something. Something that would work anywhere.

Hello dear Dan,

Thanks very much for that great feedback.

Please check revision done for your appreciation:
#408 | #409 | #410 | #411 | #412 | #413

Let me know what do you think. About the exact bridge of this photo: http://www.cityofsacramento.org/~/media/Corporate/Images/General/TowerBridge.jpg

I can´t used it because i don´t want you to have problems with copyrights in the future, and we are not allowed to use photos we don´t own. If i lived in sacramento i would take a photo of the bridge. The one on the logo i´ve draw by hand first and them i bring it to the software, and is inspired in the bridge photo.

In case you want to try a exact bridge like that one in the photo. Do you think you have a chance to take some pictures in that prespective? And send it here: http://postimage.org/ with the link to me?

Let me know. I´m now working in the sencond suggestion you gave me. Anything more you want me to try just let me know please. Feel free please.

Thank you.

Thank you. After seeing it in action I think it looks like it has maybe too much graphic design. Let's try to tie in something universal like a home or something to do with housing/real estate. I think that is what it is going to take in order to make the concept click with clients that I am a real estate company.

I didn´t get anything that i love yet better than #370. Just give me some hours, when i have something good i will submit.

Thank you for working on these designs. I think some are getting too far from the map pin concept though. What about the logo idea links I gave you there was one that was a luggage imprint on snap pin. Can you do something like that but put a house in it,
8 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Warm welcome dear Dan,

I´m happy to give you all those variations. Please check new revisions based on your comment, i can´t do exactly as that link, but i´ve tried different shapes of pins:
#439 | #440 | #441 | #442 | #443

Let me know what do you think please. I will have more time at night because is Sunday today. So i can give you more variations of anything you want later, feel free to ask.

On #475 is it possible to make the writing a little larger so the top and bottom of the map pin line up with the rop of the word "the" and the bottom of the word "team"?
