my concept, tire track above blood, hope you like it

(This comment references Entry #45)

hey, those are really nice. i like the cog design better than the tire tread, but they are all bold and powerful. perhaps look at a few alternative fonts, as the one you're using doesn't quite seem to fit. A bit too, um, blocky/modern (er, you know what I mean?). Would also like to see what other concepts you could come up with as I like your style...

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback and the rank, I really appreciate that. Here my revision, I change the font with an italic font to show a movement, hope you like this font, or you have any favorite font?

Here is my another concept, the cog now is broken and one of those broken piece is covered with blood to give a suffering impression, and that piece is form a letter "S" which is initial from Sufferfest. I hope you like this concept. I will come with another concept. Thanks

whoa. ok, that's a little bit too graphic. i want it to be subtler than that...the other ones didn't look quite so much like blood. sorry if i led you in that direction...

Thanks for the feedback, sorry for showing the painful too explicit. This is my new concept, I use a part of bicycle chain as eyes, and two cranks as mouth. Overall this "eyes" and "mouth" form a pain expression from a human face. Hope you like it

another version

next concept, teeth of the crank as all of the "E"

variation

(This comment references Entry #70)

thanks for trying those out. 69 and 70 are a bit too complicted. 68/67 is interesting...can you integrate the link into the words? how about trying something with wheels, handlebars or human elements like tears of pain, straining efforts, legs?

new design

(This comment references Entry #79)

No. 79 is pretty cool. i like that a lot. you keep using the same font - perhaps try a few different ones out. some other bold ones and perhaps an ornate one or two. also, customers talk about a pool of sweat on the floor after a sufferfest...perhaps there is an idea there, too.

could you do some more work with no. 84? some alternatives of faces...close up, just eyes, without helmet, etc. think there is something in this idea...

thanks for the feedback, here my revision, now its show only the eyes.

(This comment references Entry #118)

118 is a nice one - keep working with that concept, please. would like to see some more alternatives. also try out some other fonts. thanks for the effort...

thank for the new ones. looking v good - try bringing the tears/blood up into the eye rather than so far below it. could you please try something with the image to the left or right of the name? either front of face or side like in new ones. also please keep exploring this idea with further alternatives.

revision for the tears, thanks for the feedback

(This comment references Entry #149)

thanks. i tend to prefer the full frontal image n 118. could you try somemore with that, including image on side?

156 is looking good. would prefer 'the sufferfest' all on one line. would also like to see some more font choices...bolder, heavier a bit. please keep experimenting with options on this design...it's a good one.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate that. I also really really appreciate your comment on another designer entry which says that you respect original design. Here my revision, another will come shortly. Thanks

(This comment references Entry #171)

thanks - keep them coming! for 171, font does look too heavy. feel free to explor other font types - keep size same height as image, though....

another font

(This comment references Entry #174)

Here my new concept, I want to bring a different approach, I start thinking how to combine bicycle theme with a feel of suffering in one symbol without make it to busy, the symbol must be simple, memorable and bold.

If you look my new design, you can see an eye with a tears, but if you look more deeply it also show a bicycle saddle, and more importantly the symbol is very simple, original and memorable. I hope you like it.

hey, thanks for that new option with the saddle/eye. pretty cool. although i like the original design with the face better. i've ranked that number one and would like to explore it a little further - i think the thing that's getting me is that the font doesn't feel quite right. you've done a few options with sans serif, blocky style...but could you try some other options? it might be that we just come back to the original font and feel like that's the best one, but i'd like to see some other options.
also, i don't know if this is possible, but the face you are using is tilted slightly backward...would it be possible to tilt is slightly forward? when cyclists are suffering, their head is tilted forward... could you please try that?

Hi, here is some revision, now the head is tilt forward slightly, hope you like it.

(This comment references Entry #185)

thanks, that's gettng there. i think the line representing the nose is too strong...starts to make the image too complicated and less abstract. could you lighten or remove that? maybe slide the head down to bring more of the forehead into the picture and add a wrinkle in the forehead to show strain/suffering?

Revision, without the line of nose and add some wrinkle.

hi! sorry for the silence. was travelling. let's go back to no. 118. could you take the black fade out of the red bar and make it solid red. then could you please take the italics off the font?

It's OK, I was in travelling too :)
here the revision for #118, the bar is now have a solid red, and the font lose the italic style.
