Thanks. We like the use of colors but are looking for something more polished/steamlined (less bulky or kid-oriented)... something more along the style of your Social Performance Taskforce submissions, if that makes sense.
We do really like your icon. We hope our request here is alright as we've never done this before. Until now we have not told designers what colors or word emphasis we were seeking. The icon was our main interest.
We are now asking the final contneders to adjust your text so that the primary focus is either on TICKET, perhaps with a small to next "to" it and Reading Rewards only as big as the first line copy, or to emphasize Ticket and Reading equally. Rewards is the least important word, and many designs need to reverse the imporatnace of our text.
Also, our parent organization--the National Association of Basketball Coaches (nabc.com)--uses red and blue colors. We would like to use those colors in our logo.
Can you submit a version of your #44 that reverses the emphasis and uses our colors?
Our intent once the contest ends later today is to take the three finalists and do a final round of very specific changes/touch-up before selecting a winner. We anticipate that your design will be in this group and will follow up with more direction tomorrow.
I'm not sure how to organize this, but I wanted to throw out a lot of different wishes and feedback to try to tweak your design #14 into a final form that we can weigh against the other two contenders. Please ask questions where we are not clear, but keep in mind that in many case we have an idea of what we want but are still open to your interpretations and design guidance.
Wording: Should be two lines with break as Ticket To / Reading Rewards (or to minimized similar to design #79) Font: Prefer a simple, clean, modern font (closer to Calibri or Arial than Times New Roman) Capitalization: Open to all caps, some caps or first letter caps Text Color: Open to one or combo of icon colors or blue as new fourth color Design Elements: No reflections/highlights on the heads/balls, please
Thanks for the changes and options. I think we have just one final round of tweaks: * Can you adjust the last three words of #109 to be all caps (as in # 111)? The first should stay as is... so the complete text would read "Ticket TO READING REWARDS" -- color & spacing are good as is. * Once you have updated #109 per the first item, can you show us a version with the current colors and a second version that makes the left-most part of the icon more orange? I don't think we want to make it too bright, but it might look good if it's a little closer to the color of a basketball rather than yellow-orange.
