Thanks for the notes of clarification and thank you for your work. Logo #23 is clean and fresh feeling. Like the colors and type treatment. Like the bold LIVE. We had imagined three distinct icons: heart, church and world. We would be very interested to see how you would treat them as three separate icons. The order would be heart, church and then world. When there are three separate icons, I wonder if they could have a little depth or dimension to them so they are not just flat. The point being that we do not want them to look like basic clip art. For the church icon, we need to clearly communicate church. The cross alone does not communicate church. We don't need the name of the church on the mark but it is nice that there is a natural place for it. to be included in some usages. Thank you again!
We are really excited about this direction, and we are very close in making a decision. Could you make the following small revisions? 1) We would like for the icons to have equal weight and similar position. Could you move the globe to be in a similar position to the heart? Regarding the church, in order for it to be the same scale, could you move the cross inside the outline of the building, above the door. This would allow the church to be raised to a similar position as the heart. 2) We like the type treatment. The "LIVE" is a tad large in comparison with the other elements. How would you adjust? We would also like the "the" the same color as "WAY." 3) Please delete the tagline.
Entrey #97 has the changes you've requested. If you require anything further, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be glad to do whatever you need. Thanks so much – Logoplanet
Thank you for being so accommodating! We really like the icons, but we need one more very small change. Could you change the rectangle door on the church to be an arched doorway (or doorways) to make it look more like a church? Now regarding the type in "LIVE," we don't like the way it was skewed, so could you either find another san serif typeface (one that "goes" with "the way" but is shorter and wider) or just proportionately make "LIVE" smaller and space out the letters? We also would like to go back to the grey "the." Again, thank you so much for the prompt revisions. We are really pleased with this design!
Yes sir, no problem. One quick note, however, the original word "LIVE" (as found in entry #78) is the exact same font as "the WAY". In entry #78 all three words match. There is no way to make the font "shorter and wider" without abnormally stretching it, unless the letters are simply spaced further apart. So that's what I'll do – I'll space the letters further apart. – Thank you :)
I went ahead and uploaded two entries with two different font configurations: – Entry #98 has the letters for "LIVE" spaced farther apart – Entry #99 has a uniform, vertical "scrunch" added to all the word. If you'd like to see more, just let me know.
Entry #100 uses an all new font. The same font for all words, but with different font weights. The new text block as a whole has slightly less height than entry #78. For this entry, I simply tried to arrange the logo into an aesthetically pleasing arrangement. In my opinion, I do not think the word "LIVE" looks too tall. If you want to see more, let me know. :)
We are so close! One LAST request: could we use "the way" in #78 for logo #100? I think that will be our final! A couple of questions: Would we have permission to "break apart" the logo and use the icons separately for flyer, banners and other signage? Also, even though are aren't launching this campaign until January 2016, we have a presentation this Saturday where we would like to unveil this logo. Is there any way you could send me a hi-res version to use?
Yes sir, If you want to break apart the logo and use the images separately, that's fine. Once the logo is purchased, it's yours to do with however you want, and it's FREE as long as the labor is done by someone on your end. However, if you require a designer to edit the logo (like readjusting and separating graphics or text, acquiring new file types, etc.) that's a separate job. If you'd like, I'll be glad to supply you with my personal email, and we can talk more about this after the contest.
The difference in entries 101 and 102: Entry #101 = All words are from the same font family (Franklin Gothic), but are different weights. Entry #102 = "LIVE" is from the Franklin Gothic font family, while "the WAY" is from the Myriad Pro font family.
