I think we'll probably need a few revisions depending on what we are using the design for. We need it for signs, business cards, boat decals and I'd like one with just the salmon. Do you have my contact info?
Ya I was suprised by that. Coffee mugs, t-shirts etc. Love it. Everyone absolutely loves the salmon you designed. You ever go to the West Coast? If you ever want to come out, we will look after you very well for the excellent job you did for us.
Okay, you've nailed the salmon. Couple of things with this one, do you think that you could make a curved wood sign? My wife is stuck on the wood design and might take some convincing to change that. Also, I just notices that each side of the tackle shack sign has different angles on the side. I didn't notice that before as I was more focused on everything else.
The issue with adding the wood is that it adds 2 colors right from the start. Even if we were to make wood grain in say, blue, we would have to add another shade of blue to see the grain.
This is still a lot of peoples favorites, I think that just maybe the colors feel a bit washed out to me. So in the same colors can we try just going fuller/darker? Mixed reviews with adding the red but its close between the two designs. You did a great job on this for us...very happy with you and the work that you've put in.
Love this design. Great feedback on the wood background. Just need to fine tune the colors. Lets try a darker outline like a navy blue for the fish or maybe just a touch lighter than navy like a royal blue, this is too turquoise for me. Also I think that there are too many colors in the fish now, I'm thinking ahead to t-shirts and signage etc. Can we make Pacific Playgrounds more pronounced? Not too much but a little would be perfect. Try just a bit darker green in the salmon and maybe red where the orange and yellow is on the fins and belly. That would simplify it a bit. We like 'the' in the design. Lots of feedback that its tough to read at first with the T and S, can we try a new font? Couple more revisions and we should have it perfect. After the contest, I'd like to discuss some other projects if your are open to that. Thanks!
For me this is my favorite one, unfortunately too far from out Pacific Playgrounds colors. The concensus is that the wood grain background is a winner so we'll stay with that. The T in Tackle and S in Shack are still what people most comment about as being too hard to read at first. Can we try different font?
The background of "The Tackle Shack" might look good with a cedar wood grain background, squared off with grey nails on the four corners. The feedback that I've gotten is that the T looks like a J and the S looks like and & symbol. Oh and the playgrounds letters more pronounced.
Maybe as far as color schemes go, brighten it up a bit. These are a little too pastel for me. Maybe brighten up the blue and add red where there is purple. Almost all inuit art has some red in it. You are doing a great job, I think we can make this work!
I like the overall design of the salmon, but not too crazy about the colors. I also think that the upper back of the salmon could be more Inuit Artsy. I'm not sure if throwing any red in will work but I wouldn't mind seeing some other color options. The font is a little shakey too. Any chance on getting a little more realistic water?

I do a lot of fishing and would love to come up and try my hand with the salmon sometime!
That's what I was thinking.
Don't sweat the time crunch too much. I am still able to upload revisions in "judging mode".
I can definitely give you a look with the wood, but as mentioned it may not be practical in the long run.
Still tinkering with the "Pacific Playgrounds"
I'll make the additional updates today.
I am always looking to take on additional projects so I am certainly open to working together once the logo is completed.
Thanks!
