Hey there - I'm the designer of the "New Seed Sanctuary" winning logo. Thank you for referencing my design on your contest page. My inspiration for that contest was "light" as a guide. With your contest - I'm also using light but this time as a transformative element, just as translation is transformative. Great design is a collaborative effort, so please don't hesitate to provide feedback or ask for changes. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your submission. We loved that New Seed Sanctuary logo and are delighted you submitted.
We must confer a little more and hopefully will have more feedback for you tomorrow. I know our contest time is almost up.......
Just two things for now 1) ....the thing we really liked about your other logo was the movement. Any thoughts on how to add more of that element to your already warm logo (a "feeling" which we love about it). Your vision of transformation is spot on. after all, communication is connection is transformation. :)
Thank you so much! ...oh, and ONE more thing. Can we see a variation where the word "translation" is in dark blue?
2) one thing we'd really love to have are those elements of word characters that you see in our currently top ranking logos. We don't necessary like the way they are presented in the other logos.....is there any way to incorporate Japaense, Arabic, and Syrrilic characters (very few) very SOFTLY into your clean logo? Can we see that as a variation? ...or does that lose your vision?
1. I'll work on the design to add some movement. I'll resubmit what I come up with. I'll also do the word "translation" in dark blue as you asked.
2. I appreciate you wanting to incorporate characters from another language into your design. However, and please correct me if I'm mistaken, I'm not seeing this as part of your brief. If the idea came from the designer who is currently ranked, I can't in good faith take the idea and incorporate it into my design. I hope you understand.
Hello again- here is a variation on the design involving movement and the blue for the name. Let me know if this is getting close to what you're looking for.
