Again, thank you so much you did a fantastic job! 8 years ago bordo commented on #226 Once the contest is over, we will exchange our emails and color values, name of the font as well as multiply formats of your logo, will be imcluded into the mail. That is usual procedure here :) Anything else? 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #226 Wonderful thanks! When I design my sign (the majority will be your logo but it needs some extra words on it) how do I match the fonts you used and the colors you used? 8 years ago bordo commented on #226 Thank you very much! File that you need for all those purposes is vector file (.eps format) that will be uploaded on Logo Tournament as well as .jpeg (for preview). Vector format is format that you can resize to any size (smallest or biggest), without losing its quality. Beside that, I always include two other formats as well: .pdf and .png .png format is with transparent background which you can use for your site or mail footer. Some fine tuning (colors and layout) will be not problem to adopt to your needs in the future. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks again, Bordo 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #226 That looks great! Quick question - I will need this in different forms (for business cards, signs, etc...) will the file you send me be able to work on all of those? Also, if we were to want and make any tweaks after we select the logo are you able to make any? Again, thank you so much, you did an AWESOME job 8 years ago bordo commented on #226 edit: I meant on #226 8 years ago bordo commented on #225 Withdrawn Like this #225? 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #224 Withdrawn Or make the letters bigger? 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #224 Withdrawn Thanks! Can you stretch out "Home Awaits" just a bit so it's a little longer? 8 years ago bordo commented on #224 Withdrawn Hi, sorry for delay. Here is new variation with the new slogan. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Bordo 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #219 Withdrawn Thank you! 8 years ago bordo commented on #219 Withdrawn No problem! I will add new slogan, but I am at the moment out of my desk. As soon as I come back home, I will submit new variation with requested change. Thanks for your patience, Bordo 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #219 Withdrawn Hey sorry for the delay, we were figuring out the slogan at the bottom. Can you please change it to "Home Awaits"? If that looks good, then we have ourselves a winner! 8 years ago bordo commented on #223 Withdrawn Thank you for the great cooperation during the contest. I will be online in case that you need me. Regards, Bordo 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #223 Withdrawn yes, perfect thank you! We are going to choose from the designs and let you know the winner. Again, thank you so much, you did an awesome job and we really appreciate your responsiveness! 8 years ago bordo commented on #223 Withdrawn edit: I meant on #223 8 years ago bordo commented on #222 Withdrawn Like this #222 ? 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #220 Withdrawn Yes. Can you also try this exact same design but use the less straight logo design like in #193? 8 years ago bordo commented on #220 Withdrawn Like this #220 #221 ? 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #219 Withdrawn Could you try a few tweaks? In this logo, can you add a window as if the top left on the logo underneath the curve of the "M" is a house? Could you also try, as a separate one, the logo like in #193? Thank you! 8 years ago bordo commented on #219 Withdrawn Thank you very much! 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #219 Withdrawn This one is great! Thank you! I will confirm with my wife but this is definitely my favorite so we may have a winner! Thanks again for all of your help so far, you've done a great job 8 years ago bordo commented on #219 Withdrawn #218 is bolder and #219 is bolder and darker (The and slogan) 8 years ago bordo commented on #218 Withdrawn Like this #218? 8 years ago bordo commented on #204 Withdrawn Thanks for asking. Logo needs to work good as black and white for many reasons. One of the most important is usage. If you want to use your logo for a different purposes than it needs to be versatile. For instance, I can create logo with dozens of effects on it, and it will look "wow", but if doesn't work good as b&w, that you will not be able to use it for example on fax machine, or for textile embroidery, for vinyl’s on glass windows or Logo engraving / embossing .etc That's why is important that works in both of ways (with solid colors and with gradients). I hope this will be helpful. I will submit now variation with your last request. 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #204 Withdrawn And could you make "The" and "Find Your Way Home" stand out just a little more? 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #204 Withdrawn Just for my own knowledge, why does it matter how it works as black and white? 8 years ago bordo commented on #216 Withdrawn Here are they #216 #215 8 years ago bordo commented on #204 Withdrawn Thank you very much! Visibility mostly depends of the printing quality and materials on which you will going to print you logo. Regarding the logo itself, it has perfectly defined lines and edges, so it will definitely be visible as much as one logo can be, (and that is very much!) :) . Especially because it has no small details which can be lost due printing and it's perfectly work as black and white which I will show you in my next entry. And that is most important. I can also adjust colors any time in the future depending on your needs. If you have any other concern, please feel free to ask. Thank you, Bordo 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #204 Withdrawn Thanks so much for playing with the colors, I actually like your original design better. One question for you, this logo will also be used on yard signs and I want it to be recognizable from 100, 200 feet away. Do you think changing the background design into stripes or something else would help it to stand out? Even if the design was inside a house and the rest was white? I hope that makes sense. Just trying to play with it to see what makes the most sense but you really did an awesome job and you are certainly our favorite so thank you! 8 years ago bordo commented on #215 Withdrawn ...and this one with combination of brick color and gray #215 8 years ago bordo commented on #207 Withdrawn Here are several color variations #207 #209 #210 #211 #212 #213 #214 8 years ago bordo commented on #204 Withdrawn Sure! I am working on it and will submit them soon. Thanks! 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #204 Withdrawn This is really nice thank you! Can you try it with some color variations? I'm curious to see what it looks like. You can use any colors you think might look good 8 years ago bordo commented on #204 Withdrawn Thank you! And please sorry for delay, due the time difference I couldn't reply earlier. Here is new variation with requested changes #204 Let me know if there is any other change or variation, that you would like to see. Thanks, Bordo 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #195 Withdrawn And can you make the tag line "find your way home" 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #195 Withdrawn Can you try the new logo font on here? 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #196 Withdrawn I really like the new font for the logo. Thanks! 8 years ago bordo commented on #201 Withdrawn update #201 8 years ago bordo commented on #196 Withdrawn new variation with the same concept #196 8 years ago bordo commented on #193 Withdrawn Thank you very much! 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #193 Withdrawn 193 & 195 are awesome! Great job and thank you! 8 years ago bordo commented on #192 Withdrawn variation on a darker background #192 8 years ago bordo commented on #191 Withdrawn font, color and layout variation #191 8 years ago bordo commented on #190 Withdrawn couple of color variations based on the examples you've provided #190 #189 #188 8 years ago bordo commented on #180 Withdrawn Thank you very much for the helpful feedback! I will submit new variations shortly. In the meantime, if you find some specific style of work, from my portfolio, which you liked, please let me know. Regards, Bordo 8 years ago gmaroon commented on #180 Withdrawn This is great thank you! Can you play with the fonts and the colors to see how it looks? (I love blues, golds, greys...if you think maroon looks good, use that but I don't love reds honestly. Look at my uploads if that helps). I was looking at some of the other logos you've done and I love how you make simple words lstand out. Really like this. 8 years ago bordo commented on #180 Withdrawn Hi, here is my submission with "mg" monogram #180 Colors can be adjusted easily. Feedback is welcome. Thanks, Bordo 8 years ago
