Hi, I am honored to be participating in your contest. Here is my design, I hope you like it. I created a person through the letter "F", with a winning attitude, strength. These elements give a bold style, strength, and desire for change. If you have comments, please let me know.
I like that you were trying to show a certain "striving" with the person and the letter F. This is the first I've seen of an element that atttempts this. I'm looking for a more forward or upward motion....a breakthrough. I don't want any reference to a measuring tape. Let's try red and black....something with more power....grit. Thanks for your efforts. I can see you understand what I am trying to get at.
I really like what you've done with the new series #19 throught #22. This is resonating with me and has many of the elements I am looking for. It is bold, strong, clean, modern, tight and shows the element of striving, reaching, stretching, leaping, breaking through that I wanted to capture. It has the feel of metal and working out...but not so masculine that it would be strictly attractive to men...I think.
My favorite one is #20 because it is balanced. Using the figure as the "F" seems natural but it is not that organic...you have to pause for a few seconds before you realize the figure is the F in fight. I prefer where the figure icon is in the center. I can see this icon being a stand-alone representation of the product at some point.
Here are some tweeks I'd like to see based off of #20: I feel the treatment of the tag line is a little weak at this point. It is almost apologetic, or an afterthought. I may leave the tag line out of the logo all together, but I do want you to try and see if you can treat it in a way that it can be use with the logo at times and look like a part of it...I think it needs to feel like it belongs there. The handwriting font doesn't work. It looks like someone made a note or a comment on the side of the logo. Try emphasizing the work You. Try it without any emphasis on any one word. Give me the logo without the tag line too. Maybe give me the tag line alone, also...treated in a way that "matches" the logo but could stand alone as a headline....
I think the "fist" is taking it too far to the masculine and to the literal meaning of "fight" which is, I think, a step in the wrong direction....as in #33 and #32. the figure in #20 shows striving, freedom, leaping and other feelings I want to convey...but the fist can only convey fighting and force and masculine strength and violence....not where I want to go with this.
Putting the tag line inside the logo also does not work for me. I think it weakens the sleek simplicity of the logo.
Let me see #20 but without the tag line. Also with a tagline in a different font...something strong but not overpowering. I may decide to just use a logo without a tag line...so that's why I want to see it alone as well.
Thanks Daniel. I really like the clean and strong feel of the new design with out the tagline and with the new bolder tag line. I can easily see this as my blog masthead...I don't think I would change a thing except maybe on #34 if you can tweek the space between the leaping figure's leg and the work "Fighting". Maybe a pt or two more air there for balance....
Hi Daniel, #38 is great. Unless something shocks me in the next 10 hours. You will most likely win. I'm not going to extend. I love your work.
I will probably go with out the tagline for the winner. But I'm hoping if you win, you can give it to me both ways, because if I ever do a T-shirt, I would want the tagline on the back, perhaps. I also may use it on a brochure. Basically I would love the option of having it both ways, and even in Black and White, for printing in B&W. Is that something that you would do?
Also, when all is done, would I be able to have your email. I think you are so talented, and would want to use you for future projects and also refer friends to you too.
