Let me know if any more description/direction is useful!

I tend to write in lists:

General Comments:
1. Like the Jack Daniels type of look of #3
2. Like the "paint splatter effect" of #3 as long as it doesn't get too frilly.
3. Don't like the way the shading is done in #3 within the letters although I do like the idea of trying to make it look worn out.
4. Like the western aura of #2.
5. Don't like the frilly lines on #2.
6. Like the simplicity of #1.
7. Don't like the symbol of #1.
8. Like the Jack Daniels type of look of #4.
9. Don't like the frilly decorations of #4.


For future entries:
1. Would like to see a couple versions that aren't black and white.
2. Would like to see a couple versions that don't include the name.

Also, probably don't need the slogan in the logo.

Thanks!

Thanks for the entries:

Like
1. Like the dog tag motif of #5.
2. Like the paint splatter effect of #7, #8, and #3.
3. Like the mountain imagery of #10.

Want to see
1. More imagrey and symbolic entries (like the mountain).

Don't need
1. Slogan in the logo

Thanks!

1. I like the mountain as the letter "A" in #18 and #19. It seems to fit more naturally in #19.
2. I like the style of the chain better in #15. but prefer the shape of the dog tag in #5. I also think I like seeing only part of the chain.
3. I like the text font of #15 and #5 better than #14.
4. I really like the fire and saloon imagery of #12 and #13, but would like it to be grittier and more old fashioned.

Right now it's pretty much a tie between #5, #7, and #19.

Thanks for all the entries!

Thanks everyone. These are looking really cool.

I will submit more specific comments in a couple hours, but I'd love to see more entries with campfire or lake imagery if anyone is game.

New comments:

For #26, #27, and #28 I like the text and look of all three. I don't really like the stars on the dog tag. Could you try versions both without the dog tag and with a tag without stars?

Thanks!

Although I think #29 and #32 look cool, it's not really the look I'm going for so don't worry about this route. A little bit too new age. Thanks!

I really like #30 and #31, but could you take the slogan out of the bottom and make the border of #31 more solid like it is in #30?

If you could also make the blue more explicitly a lake or shoreline in #30 that would be great.

Thanks!

#34 is my favorite of the loganrott designs.

I'd love to see the same style with the bear and the tent, but with a lake in the background instead of a mountain.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words Hughes Design.

I like the textual format of both the entries. For some reason the fire doesn't quite work for me. Is there a way to make it grittier? More in the "messy" style of the writing?

Thanks!

A couple more gun entries would be great like #42.

Thanks!

I like the canvas type background on #47.

For #48 I realized it looks like the M and the P aren't aligned in "camp." Is that fixable?

Thanks for all the entries everyone. I'm about to hop on a plane and won't have time to review the entries again before the deadline so I'm going to extend the contest. I'm going to extend it a week, but hope to end it much before then.

Thanks for all the entries. If someone is up for it, I'd still love to see

1. Lake images.
2. Pictures without the name.

Thanks!

I'd love to see a couple entries with the 1950s / old fashioned text look.

Right now I'm leaning toward #67, #51, or #34. For #67, can you please try versions wtithout the swirly lines and with the fonts or Original and Man Camp the same (try using each of the fonts currently used).

I hope to make a final call in the next 24 hours.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the great entries everyone. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to be as active the second week because of some personal commitments, but this has been a great experience for me.

I won't have time to comment again before the deadline so wanted to say thank you.

If you are interested in learning more about the final product, email me at clevercamps@gmail.com and I'll let you know when the camp is fully operational.

Best,
Dan
