Discussion

 
Really think the bird is interesting! Can you please visit alternative colors and explore adding patina to the font. We would also like to explore additional ways of introducing the "grand hotel" so that it feels a little bit more rustic or western. Also would it be possible to view this design in a frame as it is important for us to visualize the logo on an exterior sign.

Updated design with more detail and contrast... #67
With crow #68
and bullet holes #69
11 years ago
 
These are great! Thanks for submitting these updates. Could you do one with the shape of 49 with a black bird and the color and some of flair you have added to 67,68,69. Also could we tweak the font for "grand hotel" so it is a little bit more legible when smaller. Really loving how these are coming together!

Michael, thanks for the new additions. Can you produce a black and white version of #113 that we can use for collateral? Also, we love the bird! Can we produce a separate file for just the bird. We want to be able to potentially use the bird as a rubber stamp, golf shirts, etc.
11 years ago
 
Also for #113, can we remove the guns? Potentially increase the size of Grand Hotel.
11 years ago
 
maybe try starts rather than the guns. Thanks.

The B/W look great! Is there another font we could use for the "Grand hotel" I am worried it may be a little hard to read when used in a smaller format.
11 years ago
 
Could we also get s version where we don't have the established in 1880 but with the design similar to the one used in 116 or another other decorative feature you think would fit the space nicely. We have some branding concerns around having the establish in 1888 as the hotel has only been around since the early 2000's and don't want confuse our guests.

#125 Dessert terrain with cactus's

Michael,

Can try a couple of more options in the same style as #123, 124, and 125. The badge is clever but very well used locally.

thanks,

Updates #126 #127 and with ornaments #128
11 years ago
 
Thanks!

Like the chandelier type ornament but perhaps a bit simpler.

Could we make the 'grand hotel' text bigger, worried that people might shorten it to the Tombstone.

I would be interested in seeing a few other font options as well. Would also love to see what a simpler approach would look like, can we try a few solid background fills in 118, perhaps a slate, midnight blue, turquoise.

What type of bird is used in the logo?

Thanks again for being so accommodating!

Michael,

Just a quick chaser just in case you didnt see the last message.

Thanks

Hey Ameesh...
Question... What font do you want to change.... the Tombstone or the Hotel?
No problem with the color variations.

Michael

Thanks Michael. The font comment was for both the tombstone and the grand hotel.

Okay... will work on it and upload asap.

Two variants uploaded #129 and #130.
There are thousands of fonts on the market... i really don't know what else you would like to see :(

And as for your comment
I would be interested in seeing a few other font options as well. Would also love to see what a simpler approach would look like, can we try a few solid background fills in 118, perhaps a slate, midnight blue, turquoise.

Are you referring to only the background or the design itself?
Michael

Apologies for not being specific.

The design we are leaning towards is 118, really like the shape, "the", "tombstone". Can you increase the size/weight of "grand hotel" (keeping the same font). And change the established in year to 2003.

With the font, the main concern is legibility, I think if we increase a bit and add a little weight to it should be fine. I do like the font in 15 because it complements the slanted "the", could we see a version of that?

With the colors, we don't need the design to change just want to try a few solid background colors. See the photo of a color mood board attached for inspiration, would love to see what you come up with. Below are a few options from this link I like http://www.envirocloak.com/images/RAL-Colour-Chart-01.jpg.

5018,5021,7003,7006,7030, 8011, 8028.

Thank you!

Hi Ameesh...
Cool on the logo variations but the link you've sent me for the color variations is not working.
I'm going to check your first uploads to see if i can muster up something close to what you are referring to.

#131 and #132....
with this monochrome design.... you can place the logo on any colored background with out any trouble.
11 years ago
 
The colors chosen were a dusty turquoise (light and a bit darker), medium/light grey with slight brown/red undertones, and a flagstone brown. I used RAL number codes if that helps any.
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Updates with the RAL colors you requested...
#133 to #139
11 years ago
 
Thank you, this is helpful! I think we are nearly there! Can you bring the "the" down a little- it looks a little too close to the top edge, can we clean up the curve on the established in 2003- the '0's look a little jumbled, and can we make the 'grand hotel' just a tiny bit bigger.
11 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Sure thing! On which entry though?
11 years ago
 
Sorry, I was referencing the colored options, but would like to see the changes on a white background for now. I like the spacing on 118 but can we get the "grand hotel' to be just a bit larger than in the colored background options.

Also, can we see a version where the "Tombstone" has the font shadow(like 118) and one without it(colored background)?

Update #140 and #141
11 years ago
 
Thanks, we are soo close! Want to try just one more thing.

Can we move the 'grand hotel' in 140 to the left just a bit so that it is better centered?

Also can we try the turquoise from 139 as the outline/font color with a white background? And the reverse, with the color from 139 as the background color within the frame with white as the outline/font color?
11 years ago
 
scratch the centered comment, didnt account for the shadow! sorry! can we see one with the solid black font too?
11 years ago

Scratched....here are the color variants as you requested #142 and #143 and #144 without shading.
