entry #1 is most what he has in mind. I would fill the frame with the figure (less open space) and find a way to incorporate the grayscale attributes from the photo of yourself so the body is in 3 dimensions, instead of two. also, please extend the arm of the figure as if he is flexing the bicep. the left arm is indistinguishable as a muscular arm as you have it.
That one made me sweat! I felt as in the middle of a hill sprint workout ....but I think it deserves the hours spent. I have to say that this was one of most detailed designes I've ever done, but hell I'm pleased with the result! Let me know what you think about it and if I've missed something.
so many options! If you asked me, I would take # 87, 92 or 109. He likes the font of 92. I like 92 the best but it's a little hard to read when you consider that it will be 1 cm by 2 cm on a clothing label. maybe a little bigger but not much. I also like the detail in the muscle definition on 87 and would like to see it in 109, perhaps with the figure made a little larger, not even fitting in the frame. and on 109, I like the fading background but I think it will be hard to see the figure or to translate to a tag without the figure's arm disappearing.... so much feedback, huh?
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I put the trademark because I thought it would be a trade mark, but I'll remove it - no problem. As for the other part ... I'll work on more detailed look in the figure in #109 ..try darker brackground and make a variation of #109 with the font from #92 . Also try the font in #92 a little bigger. I'm starting on these changes and will submit ASAP. If I've missed something please let me know.
we will trademark it as soon as we make the selection. I have inquired as to the process in forum. I think if you make those changes plus expand the figure to emphasize the detail in the muscle, crop it a little so the figure fills the available space and adjust the font size/readability, you may well have the winner. I guess I would characterize my vision as a blending of features of your top two designs.
