I really think this logo would go good on a storefront sign, business card, website and t-shirt. The Colors are good, however maybe a bit more of a "golden" look on the actual hookah as wellas the hookah being a bit "crisper" on the detail of the hookah. I think this is where I want to be, and the font is very close, but I don't like the "K" and "the Swinging" could be a bit bolder (but please not too bold like entry #3). I think if you make those changes you will find yourself staying at the first rank.
I believe you continue to improve entry number 9 (great detail on the Hookah). We will be choosing this logo if a few minor corrections are made. First I love the font especially on the word Hookah, however I am thinking it would look nicer if the first letter in every word was capitalized "The Swinging Hookah", and finally this logo will be on a black back drop (ie black shirt, black sign etc...) lets try the logo with a full black background and just change the lettering to the same color as the picture of the Hookah with the golden circle looks nice.
Thank you for the excellent directions ... here is a new submission... I would LOVE a black tshirt with this design! Please let me know if there is anything else that you would like to see.
This is going to be our logo, entry # 14...Congratulations! There is one final request, we would like to see the word "Hookah" in the same letter size as entry # 4. This will make the "Hookah" pop out at you and that should do it, please adjust the size ONLY on the word "Hookah".
Thank you. You will probably have to contact Administration if you are thinking of ending the contest early, I am not familiar with the interface for Contest Holders, just for designers. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I am looking forward to sending you the files that you need.
