Hi guys,
I thank all of you for submitting brilliant designs. I appreciate your hard work and time and will therefore update you as to where I am with my preferences.
Initially, in the job description, I requested a character. Indeed, many of you have come up with very cute, original characters. Some of you, have taken creative liberty and have submitted logos without a character. In fact, If you were to check out my top rated logos, you'll see that some of them have a character and some don't.
The rankings aren't necessarily based on whether there is or isn't a character. Rather, there are other qualities that supersede that.
My company does high-end events and work with sophisticated clients and operate on very high budgets. I need the logo to reflect that. I need it to be clean, classy and sophisticated. I don't want, at this point, cartoons, nor do I want very colorful, fun logos, despite the fact that THE ONES SUBMITTED ARE GORGEOUS!!
I don't plan birthday parties or school events, unless they cost like a wedding.
I look forward to seeing logos based on what I wrote. Once again, I am open to logos with or without a character if they are good enough. Also, if you don't include a character with a face, I still want elements of the character (Top hat, bow tie, tuxedo etc.).
Thanks!!!
