Be sure to reference the Contest Brief: I want to incorporate a Koi Fish and some Roses in the logo.

#13: Can you add more detail / refinement to this and see how it looks. I want to see what the added detail will add to or take away for this look.

#14: Can you make "The Flower Market" larger | bolder | more visible? Make the flower into a rose. Add more color to the koi fish.

#29: Could you add color to the koi fish?

Thank you for all the great submissions. Some really creative concepts. I want to provide a link to a sketch that I did which provide a little more direction of what I am looking for. This is an outline of a koi fish with 3 roses in its mouth. I like the fish somewhat detailed (do not need to see every scale but needs to be more detailed than a solid color shape) to be white with some orange and black markings on it. Please keep the flower roses and use 3 of them if you could. I prefer block text versus the more elegant style.

Hi There,
Is that drawing of a koi fish in your PDF something you drew freehand, or did you trace it from something else?

Many designers could probably retrace your drawing and clean it up, if that is exactly what you want.

This is a rough tracing I did from something else that I liked. I like the way this fish looks but it does not need to be this exact outline.

Thank you.

How are you doing ? hope you are doing great. As this contest is about to come to an end, and you will be chosing the best new logo for your company, i just wanted to have your attention to some important point that you might be aware of or might not. I hope i am not miss understood by pointing out this to you and that you understand.

When the contest ends and you have made your mind and desicion about the winner logo, the winner gets the 1st place, but the 2nd and 3rd place and going on forward, 4th, 5th, 6th , etc , each one or slot should be filled with a seperate designer and different concept you found second best, third best to follow etc.

This helps towards us designers ranking and also it is a way from you to show your appreciation to the hard effort and trails put from the beginning by one designer or appreciating a nice design concept put earlier by a designer that led to developing on right direction for others and you getting the best you could at the end.

It feels frasturating for other designers and pointless of giving all the top rankings for same winner designer, while those were just a small variations of the winning design and therefore the other places 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc are not filled with different designs from a different designer.

So i hope you understood my point i was just trying to point out to you here and all the best of luck in chosing your winner logo, there are really good ones out there.

Best Regards,

... unless one designer submits very different logos!...

Just to keep everyone up to speed... the contest was extend because my partner has been out of town and has not had the chance to review many of the recent entries. Thank you.

Bravo Dinou... Arrrrggghhhh!!!!!
