Transformations By DebiLogo Design Contest

Paul, I am so grateful and appreciative of your entries, however, I am more focused on what I want.
I've updated my Contest Brief and here is what I am looking for. I'm thinking about something along the lines of a butterfly (I've added the butterfly attachment) landing on the "T" in Transformations. (You can reconfigure/resize/mirror the butterfly and/or I am open to other butterflies) I like the lavender color of the butterfly with the black shadows and I like the strong/deep purple color that is in the marketing material (see attachment) that I am trying to finalize as well. I am currently changing/working on my Website, Marketing Materials, and Business cards because I want them all to be in sync and to include a Logo. FYI - I don't want anything too Masculine or too Feminine. I want to appeal to both genders. I hope this helps and I appreciate all your efforts. Thanks again!

#5 Thank you for the submission! Great colors! definitely on the right track but I'm still not sold on the butterfly or the font.

#6. Thank you for the submission. I like the colors, I like this style butterfly better. I dont necessarily like the halo affect around the butterfly and I am thinking more of a slant on the "T" to have the butterfly land on it in a mirror image. so far, i like the butterfly I submitted the best.

#7, I like the butterfly (I like my butterfly the best), I like the color and I like the slant in the "T". I dont like the halo effect around the butterfly and I need to research the font so that I can better convey what I want.

Hi Debi:)
I was just checking that you own the butterfly in your brief...designers can't use clipart/stock art......if you have purchased, this may not include logo use....could you please clarify where your butterfly came from...this will help designers.....

thank you:)

tini1 - thank you for the email. Yes, I will find out. My best friends husband picked it out for me 2 years ago. I don't know where he got it from but I will find out tomorrow. Thanks for your help. I'm in love with that butterfly and its frustrating that no one is using it so now I understand why. I will get back to you as soon as I hear back from him. Thank you again for your email!

#8 Thank you for your submission! subtle, direct, and to the point. I like it but...

#9 thank you for your submission. Thank you for showing me a different color scheme. I did mention that I was open to blue but I dont think its my color. I like the purple and black in your butterfly but its a little too big. Could you please make it smaller and move it to the left side?
Thank you!

#10 Thank you for the submission. I did mention that I was open to green so thank you for introducing that color scheme however, I dont think its for me. I also like the idea of the butterfly in the Chrysalis but I think I'm really sold on the butterfly. Could you please resubmit a design with a butterfly?
Thank you!
Debi

#11 & #12 I don't like the font and the butterfly isn't resonating with me. I like the wings but I dont like the body, feet, or antenna of the butterfly. I sent you a comment/feedback to you personally with the fonts of the logos that I liked in your profile. could you please resubmit #5, #11, #12, & #16 with a different font?
Thank you.

So far I like the butterfly in #7 with out the halo/star affect and the WINGS of the butterfly (not the person) in #9. I am not interested in the standard Times New Roman, Arial, or similar types of fonts.

FYI -Here are some of the font styles that I like: - Hope this helps. Thanks again for all your hard work!

#17 Thank you for your submission.- I love the style of the T in Transformations. I like how you faded the purple into the blue but i still want to stick with the purple. Nice Idea but still not there for me. In the previous post I've submitted the types of fonts that I like too. Hope this helps.

#20 thank you for the Submission. I like the concept but I like the stronger purple presence. could you try Purple on top of the butterfly and then fade into a lighter purple for the bottom. I dont like the font. Could you please try a different font? I looked through your profile and I like the font of the Touch...Logo that you did.
#21 Great concept but same as the comments about. I don't like the font.
#22 I like this one but with more purple in it. Could you please resubmit with purple colors?
#23 great concept again but I dont like the font and I want more purple in the butterfly
#24 Ahhh. I like this one but I'm not sold on the blue color and I'm still trying to put my arms around the abstract butterfly. Could you please resubmit this one with Purple/Lavender colors?

#25 Thank you for your submission. I love the concept of the butterfly landing on the T. Thank you for introducing a new style of the word transformation but that doesn't resonate with me. and I'm looking for a different type of font. I listed some font styles above. The butterfly is too abstract for me as well. I encourage you to please try again.

#26 Thank you for your submission I like the font and the exaggerated "f". also thank you for introducing a different color of purple. Could you please resubmit another logo with a bigger font, more purple and I'm not sold on the butterfly. I encourage you to please try again. Thank you.

#28 yes! Getting closer. I like the font but I dont like this "T" it looks more like a "C"
#29 Could you please resubmit this one with bigger words and a smaller butterfly? I like how the "f" tails down in 28. could you do that for #29 and resubmit a logo.

#30 I like the concept but I'm not sold on it.

#31 Thank you for your submission. I love the concept. I still have to wrap my brain around the abstract butterfly. I'm still thinking on this one.

#32 Thank you for your submission. I dont think I like the "front view" of the butterfly but I love this "T"
#33 I like the side view butterfly. Could you please resubmit a design with a different side view butterfly, using the "T" that you have. Thank you.

#34 Thank you for your submission. I would like this T if the slant in the top part went the other way. (Left side down, right side up) I do like the side view of a butterfly but I cant make out your butterfly. Could you resubmit this with a different T and a different butterfly. Thank you.

#36 I love the T but I dont like the butterfly. Could you submit a different style/type of butterfly with a side view.
#37 I dont like the T in this one along with the butterfly. Thank you so much fort all your efforts!

#38 & #39. I like it but I'm still not sold on the Butterfly. I encourage you to please try again. Thank you for all your efforts!

I like the Butterfly in #7 & #28 (still trying to accept the abstract design)
I like the "T" in #36, #33, & #39
I like the font in #28 but I dont like the "T"
I also like the font in #29, #39, #41, & #32 Hope this helps.

#40 & #41 Thank you for showing me another type of butterfly. I like the wings but I dont like the body of the butterfly.

Thank you for the new submissions. Looks Great! I just have time to rank them (I'm in between breaks during my seminar) so I'll make comments on my lunch hour. Thank you! Thank you!

In reference to #42 & #45 - I LIKE #50 better. I'm still not sold on the body of the butterfly but I like that you made it smaller. On #50 could you lighten up the butterfly and submit more. 1 with the line under Transformation and 1 without the line under Transformation. Thank you so much for your submissions!

#43 & #44 Thank you for your submissions. I like your butterfly the best. Could you lighten up the purple on the butterfly. I'm not sold on the thick line under transformation or the fade into the blue. I need the font to be bigger and bolder. Even thou the word Transformations is long, it gets lost in the smaller font. Could you please play with the colors and fonts and resubmit another logo? Thank you for all your efforts!

#46 & #47 - I LIKE #46 better. I like the darker purple in the letters. The size of the font is the same but the darker color makes it look bigger. I like what you did with the butterfly and the T. Could you please switch the color scheme of the butterfly. Could you do Purple on the top of the butterfly and do the blue on the bottom and resubmit your logo. Thank you again for all your efforts!

#48 & #49 - I like the design of the butterfly but I don't like the butterfly front view. I like the font of "by Debi" in #48.I encourage you to submit more. If you could submit more logos with another side view of a Butterfly and try one of the fonts in some of your other logos that would be great.(I sent you a personal comment/feedback) Thank you for all your efforts.

#50 & #51 I love the T but I dont like the butterfly. Could you submit a different style/type of butterfly with a side view. I know you are working on this. Just wanted to say Thanks again for all your efforts!

#52 - I dont like the font and I would perfer color in the butterfly
#53 - Ahhhh welcome back! I like your butterfly and the butterfly in #44. I am open to more font style and encourage you to submit more font styles. Thank you for all your efforts!

#55, #57,& #58. I like #58 the best out of these 3. (I like the butterfly and the font but not the "by Debi". Thank you so much for your submission!

Out of #50, #51, #54, #59, #61, and #62, I like #50 and #59. I sent you a comment/feedback. Could you please resubmit #50? Thank you!

#63 Thank you for your submission. I like the butterfly but I dont like the font.
#64 Wow! I didn't even ask for it and I like it! I love the ripple effect! I'm not sold on the font. Thank you so much for hanging in there and coming back!

Thank you all for your time and efforts. I just wanted to let you know that I've narrowed down what I like about all the designs.
Butterfly in #67, #66, & #53 (and I like the Butterfly landing on the left side of the "T")
Ripple Effect in #66
Font of "ansformations" in #67, #66, #59, #28 #53(I dont like the tail of the "F" curling back up),
Font of "T" in #59
Font of "By Debi" in #53 & #28 But could you also please try "By Debi" in Monotype Corsiva?
If you could please submit a design with a combination of these that would allow me to come closer to making a decision.Thanks again for all you've done! Today is the last day of my seminar so I'll be able to respond during lunch and tonight.
Thanks again, Debi

As far as combining these elements, I don't think we can do the ripple effect exactly as #66
as that is ApatiniDesigns original concept although I think we can do a variation of that,
but not exact.
Anyone else, please correct me if you think I'm wrong, thanks.

Thanks for the comment. I dont expect you to do the ripple effect exactly like 66# but I'm open to YOUR variation of that ripple effect.

Thank you for all your hard work. I apologize for not commenting or ranking sooner but I was out of town attending a seminar this past weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun) and my flight was delayed Sunday night so it wasnt fun hanging out in the airport for 4 hours with no computer, and today I had too many fires to put out so I apologize for not getting back to you all. I'll respond tonight and/or first think tomorrow morning. So with that being said I extend the contest.
Thanks again for all your time & effort.

Ripple effect concept is from ApatiniDesigns and no other designer can use it

#68, #69, #70, #72, #73, #77 thank you for all your submissions. I appreciate your creative talent and hard work. Out of all your submissions I like #59 the best. I'm still not sold on the butterfly but I do like your design. I am open to more designs but for now this is where I stand.
Thanks again for all your efforts!

#71. Thank you for your submission. Thank you for making the changes that I've requested. I like your colors and the symmetry of your design. I'm still working on my decision and I'm still open to more designs as well.
I appreciate all your time and efforts!

#74 Thank you for your submissions. Out of your designs I like the font in #74 the best and I like the butterfly on #28. Could you please resubmit #74 with the butterfly on #28.
Thank you for all your time and efforts. I'm still working on my decision.
Thanks again.

#75 Thank you for your submission. I understand your concept of using the "f" as the butterfly, however, I am not attracted to the color scheme. I like the deeper purple. I'm trying (whether I succeed or not is a different story) to be equal to both genders. The dark color (deeper purple) to be more masculine and the butterfly to be feminine so I am still open to more designs. I appreciate all your time and efforts. Thanks again.

#76, #79, #87, #88, #89, #90 Thank you for all your submissions and for making the changes that I requested.. I like #90 the best, however I also like #87 and #88 so I'm still working on my decision.
I appreciate all your creative talents, hard work and time. Thanks again!

#78, #84, #92, #93. Thank you for your submissions. I like all your submissions. Could you please do the Monotype Corsiva font on "by Debi" on # 78 and #84 (so far I like #84 the best) and make "by Debi" a little darker and resubmit those 2 please. Thanks again for all your hard work and creative talent.

#97, #98, #99 Thank you for your submission. I like #99 the best. Could you please resubmit #99 and make it bigger & bolder like #98 and could you ad the "by Debi" font on #98 to #99 as well. Thank you.
