The Whole ELchiladaLogo Design Contest

Of course. Once chosen I'll upload the EPS and JPEG files. EPS files are the industry standard. It is vector so it can be scaled infinitely without loss of quality. After you approve the uploads, I can send you other file types or variations such as black and white if needed. You'll be able to reach me if you ever need something. I've been designing since graduating from Ringlng in Sarasota in 1990. Thanks again

Were going to pick this logo! You will be able to provide all the types of files we need to make copies and put on business cards and aprons, etc. ?

Just uploaded the version with that line in black. Thank you!

Sure thing. I'll make that variation when I get home. Thank you!

My husband still like this one the best. I think we end up going with this one. Is there a way to make the dark grey line you made on the chefs hat with a black line instead? My mom wanted to see it with a black line. Thanks!

Sure thing!

Amazing we love it! Can we see a spoon just to compare? Thanks!

If they didn't come up with it on their own and requested by you then it is open for all.

Hi so we are going to use this design but two changes. 1) add the dark grey line back for the horizontal chef hat line and 2) given that it was our idea to tell the designer to add a utensil at the end of a letter, can't we use that here too? If so, we would love to convert the bottom of the big L in "EL" to turn into a spoon or fork. Thanks so much. Can show you the ask for the previous designer if it's a problem. Thanks!

Thanks! I think we are going to make a few slight adjustments but that will be it. Will let you this evening - thanks!

I'm back home now if you need any modifications. I'll be making dinner but check back shortly. Thanks again

Sorry I didn't see the last comment. Probably writing at the same time as you. I'll make those soon.

When you go to choose a winner, LT will require a different designer in 2nd and 3rd positions. Then I'll upload the the EPS and JPEG files. Once approved I'm allowed to email you any other variations you might want directly. I'm so glad you love it! Hope to work with you on other projects. Thanks again - Kent

also, just so we can see, 1) we're going to want to oval a touch bigger so the "EL" is fully in the oval (little tough to read the bottom left of the E), 2) can we make the new grey horizontal line you put in on the chef's hat slightly darker, and 3) after making those changes, can we compare what the logo would look like with dots around the logo like we had (same color as font) vs the triangles we have? thanks!

Thank you so much! I absolutely love it! we really appreciate all the patience you had with this design - you are truly a fantastic artist! This will without a doubt be the winner. By chance, are we allowed to have your email address? thanks!

I uploaded both reds with blue and black versions.

I'm working on it. I'll be here for you after the contest too. I'll post revision shortly

Hi! So we're going to chose this logo (thanks so much) but we just want to make sure it's 1000% perfect. Three little things 1) the a on the en of ELchilada, can we make that not as script (sort of looks like a w); 2) can we add a horizontal grey line underneath the grey vertical lines on the chef hat to really show its a hat (will be perfect after) and 3) I'm not sure if possible, but do you see the red boxes in my website (cooking classes, etc) - can we try and get the font to be as close to that red? Depending on if you have that red, we're going to chose between the black outline you made above and the navy outline we had before. Thanks so much!

Sure I'll make the changes except I can't do the fork. Since it wasn't my concept the other designers that had that would fight for that. Just getting home so I'll try to have the modifications soon. Thank you so much

Sorry but my father is a little bit of a stickler - can we make some very minor adjustments to the spacing in the logo. 1) can we move the hat up a touch so the halfway mark of the hat is at the oval line 2) can we move the 'the whole' over to the right a touch and 3) he wants to have double " " around the "EL". Last thing, can we very slightly round the chefs hat at the top corners? Thanks again!

Wow that looks incredible! Any chance we can replace all of the blue outline (hat and circle) with black outline? Also, my dad wants to know if it's possible to add a fork on the d in ELchilada- like have a fork coming out of the top of the d? Thanks so much again for all the changes. So excited!

Made some variations when I ran home. Hope that I followed your request correctly. If not I'll be home later this evening. Thank you

I can make all the changes you want. I'm at work now but I'll try to run home at lunch to make these changes after I read through the requests again. Thank you!

Hi Kent
Me and my husband love the logo but my parents (the ones who are purchasing the logo for me as a present) were hoping to see some additional changes if possible. Is is possible to change the stripes in the background to polk-a-dots and make the color the same yellow/gold color that are on my website as those gold dots in that grey (let me know if you dont see what Im referring to). We agree on the writing color which really pops but can we outline it in black? Also, for the outline, can we make it like pointy triangles with the bottoms connected instead of the dots? hope this isnt an issue! Thanks!

Thank you so much! Hope they like it too. Take care - Kent

This is me and my husbands favorite! I'm going to send this to my parents to see if they feel the same way. Thanks so much!

Like this? Thank you

This is perfect except we don't want any orange anymore. So sorry. I think if the orange outlines were navy it would be perfect. Thanks!

Since the raspberry color is so close I just used the Cardinals color on this one only and a white outline to make it pop.

So close - but I'm still not in love with the colors. So sorry. Can we now change the yellow outline/dots to the raspberry color we use for the font and change the 'the whole el chilada ' color to a red (like the Arizona Cardinals team color on tv right now)? Thanks again. I fee like we are almost there!

Sure thing. The blue is too dark to be next to it as a background. Hope you like the white or golden color instead. Can make all the ones you want.

We love this one and it's my favorite but is it possible to flip now the raspberry background with the periwinkle? Thanks!

I know these are not exactly what you asked for but periwinkle is probably a little too light to hold up against white. Maybe if it was a darker color.

Sure, I can make all the schemes you need. Even after the contest is over, I'll be here for you. Thank you

Sorry, for the background, can we do the raspberry stripes with white background, not the yellow background over the pink stripes. Thanks!

I really like the chefs hat but I'm still not in love with the colors yet - not your fault since we're asking for it but is it possible to do the following: the background the same color as the dots (raspberry) and not the mustard, make the letters a periwinkle (outlined in white) and the dots a orange/yellow mix. So sorry for the additional asks but we love this design and are just struggling with the color scheme. Thanks!

Is this the style ref hat you want? Thank you so much

I'll make all the changes I can when I get home. I can't do things other designers had done though. But I'll make it perfect for you.

Can we make the hat look a bit more realistic? Also, can we add a fork and knife crossed or a shaping dish (see bottom of number 58 design) on he bottom underneath the 'ad' in ELchilada? Also, can we add quotes to EL so it looks like 'EL'. Last thing - can we change the stripes colors from pink to like a mustard yellow? Thanks!

Thank you, but I want to make the perfect fit for you.

This is our favorite one you made. Definitely a finalist

And I can still modify. Let me know if you have any specific requests. Thanks again - K

When I get home I'll make another E

Thank you! Let me know any modifications you would like to see.

This looks great. One of our tops! Thanks!

I wasn't sure what kind of chef hat you wore. I saw one in a pic but that was more straight. I'd work on whatever changes till you have the perfect fit.
Thank you!

Hi Kent - we love the design and may want to change the colors in the next round but the hat looks a little funky; it sort of looks like a muffin. Thanks again!

I'm just across the alley from where you started in Naples, FL. I'd love to make all the modifications or variations you might want. Thank you for this opportunity - Kent
