Thanks, Satto. Will we be able to speak with you at 10:15 today? We're crazy busy today but intend to settle in on a typeface and final design. I just son't know how hard and fast these deadlines are and what they mean :-). thanks!
You're welcome! I don't know your timezone, I'm in Paris (France) now, it's 02:38PM. I will be glad to "ping-pong" with you about the font choice through my LogoTournament personal entries page or via PM (LT doesn't allow us to contact the contest holders outside his site until the winner is chosen).
Thanks for the new type faces. Personally, I like 158, 162, 167 and your original #71. Are type faces proprietary so that you can't use the actual type face used by another designer? If not I've gotten fixated by #171. I just love the Ms and Es - feels silly to say that. And you've offered some great choices. If you can't use that actual face maybe there's something really close.
How does one "declare" a winner on this site? We are very much leaning in your direction but may have to get an approval from 2 more people and I just don't know how they're going to behave :-).
Picking between 175 and 71. I like 175 but some folks thought the type face for "at Cottage Park" was less readable. Could you do a version, using the 175 typeface, making that phrase bigger, maybe bolder, and also adding a lttle heft to The Emerson Lofts? Maybe that typeface can't handle "bolding" and we should just stay with 71. It is very clean, but I like the personality of 175 so I'm trying to make it work. We're thinking we don't declalre a winner until we're ready to ask for the files. We're not talking to anyone else at this point.
I'm second guessing myself and wonder if it would be possible to get files for #71. In particular, I'm afraid we've gone too big with the "at Cottage Park" and prefer the size on #71.
I'm waiting to hear from our marketing department that they don't need any other kind of file from you but should be "approving" the elements today. Thansks!
Thanks so much for the files. We have web site for the project, TheEmersonLofts.com and it would be great to know what type face you used so we could use the same type face for URL when we use it. We might also use the face on the website if it worked. Could you share that info?
