Voices of SteveLogo Design Contest

Hello,

This is my first entry in your contest.
I wanted to do a realistic looking studio microphone and wind screen that looked strong and sharp.

Thank you for your consideration,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #43)

Nice job....looking for a little more "pop" with some color.....would like to see your ideas.

Thanks!

Steve

Hello,

This one use has some more contrast in the microphone and uses LED sound display.
If you would like to see different colors or anything at all, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback.
I understand what you mean about more pop, and will work on that.

Take care,
Tim

RE: #44

Nice work....I really like it.

Two things:

1. Let's try the LED bars in red
2. Put a hyphen between the words "voice" and "over"

Thanks!

Hello,

In this one I changed the layout a little, added a glow to each of the LEDs and added a darker shade of blue to the wind screen for more contrast.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

I hadn't seen your comment before the one I just submitted.
I'll work on the LED's in red and the hypen as well shortly.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

This one uses red LEDs and I added the hyphen to Voice-Over.

Thank you,
Tim

Hello,

I thought you might like to see one in green as well.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #47)

Hello,

This is #46 with a dot added between your name and voice-over, some more contrast in the microphone to make it stand out more and your name a little bigger in comparison to the mic and LEDs.
I'll do a few other variations of this in different fonts so you can see what those look like.
They will be similar so please don't hesitate to mark any as "not interested" if you don't like any better than the current one.

If you like one part of one and want it added to another, it's not trouble at all to do that.

Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
You rock! Loving what I am seeing.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

Here are some in different font styles.

#49 - a serif font style with details on the ends of the letters.
#50 - a modern, "techno" font
#51 - the same as the original, only the second line is also all capital letters.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #49)

Tim,
Can you play around with making the "Voices of Steve" more artistic rather than just plain text? Does that make sense? More of a 3-D look?

Just wondering.....let me know if that doesn't make sense.

Steve

Hi Steve,

I think I know what you mean...shading, a bevel..depth... something to make the text look less flat?
I have a couple of ideas that I'll get to work on.

Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
Yes....you got it.

Also, can I see what #48 would look like without the windscreen/bracket around the microphone? In other words, just the microphone without the stand around it.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

These are a few variations on the text:

#52 - gradient and shadow
#53 - same but no line
#54 - an outline around the letters
#55 - gradient, outline and shadow
#56 - different shadows
#57 - 3-D and shadows


Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #52)

Hi Steve,

Here's the one without the bracket and windscreen.
I also did one without the bracket but with the screen, and one with the bracket and without the screen so you could see what those look like.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #58)

Give me the text of #57 on the logo of #59

Great work....I appreciate the quick response too.

Steve

Hi Steve,

I will be back this evening and do that as soon as I get in.

Thanks again,
Tim

Hello,

As requested, here is the text of #57 on the logo of #59.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #76)

Hello,

This is #76 with a deeper blue tone and detail added around the wind screen, as another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #78)

...and this one has a different style of mesh on the microphone with an angled look as well.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #80)

Hi Steve,

Here's another design variation I wanted to show you.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #81)

Super job....thanks for all your efforts! Very responsive!

Hi Steve,

Thanks again for all of the feedback, and I'm glad you like them so far.
I still have a couple of ideas on the sketchpad, just minor positioning things I'll work up so you can see some other looks as well.
If anything comes to mind that you might want to see, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Have a good evening,
Tim

Hello,

I just wanted to show you a couple of different layouts as some other options.

#93 is a horizontal layout instead of the current vertical one so you could see what that looks like.

#95 is very close to #78 but I made the LEDs a bit smaller, so you see more of them and they also aren't as high in the design. These ones only go halfway to the top of the wind screen which changes the overall shape of the design.

Thanks again,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #93)

Excellent ideas! Love it.

Can you give me the font style from #50 on design #93? I want to see what that looks like.

Thanks, Tim....again, great work

Hi Steve,

No trouble at all. WIll have that up shortly.

Take care,
Tim

Hi Steve,

As requested, the font style from #50 on design #93.
I'm glad you mentioned that as it's a nice look..very clean.

Take care,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #100)

..and here's the same without the line so you can see how that looks.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #101)

Hi Steve,

As it looked good with the last one, I wanted to also show you #78 with that font in case you were interested.
I kept the 3-D on it.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #102)

..and here's #101 with the font in 3-D.
Just in case you wanted to see that one.

Thanks again,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #103)

Hi Steve,

One more tiny tweak for you.
This is #102 with a little more spacing between the letters in "Voices Of Steve".
For example, the "TEVE" in Steve are very close with this font in #102.
I added a little bit of space between all the letters to separate them a bit more and make it look a little cleaner.
Just another option with a little different look.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #105)

Hello,

One other design option I wanted you to see.
This one has a reflection of the mic and wind screen.
I think it would look good on a web page or in high quality print, but on business cards or small print the ones without the reflection would probably look sharper.
Take care,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #110)

Hi Steve,

I had another idea in the sketchpad that I wanted to show you as just another option.
It's a few sound waves around the microphone, but I made them very subtle and curved as I wanted them to portray "smooth" and keep the clean, sharp look.


Thanks again,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #128)

Hello,

Here's another type of smooth sound wave.
Very subtle again and blended into the blue background.
Just another variation.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #129)

Hello,

Here's one with the sound wave a little brighter.
Just didn't want to leave any stones unturned.

Take care,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #130)

Hi Steve,

I was thinking of any other variations I could show you, and the only thing I think I hadn't done was just show you a couple with the second line of text in a different color.
So, here is one in red and one in black as a couple other options.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #142)

Hello,

One other look just occurred to me, and that's the sound waves being a lighter color as just another option.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #144)

Hi Steve,

One more option to show you.
This is #128 where I just brightened my LED design and added a little more contrast to them.
As before, if you like any parts of the recent ones and want to see them used in another please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #147)

Okay Tim....after talking to my voice-over coach tonight and some of my fellow voice-over artists, I would like you to do the following:

1. Take the font style of #50 and apply it to designs #43, 128, and 102
2. Change the words "voice-over artist" in all remaining designs and change it to "Voice Actor"

I have extended the contest two days to give you and others more time for modifications.

Thanks!

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info.

Here's the first set of changes:

The font style from #50 applied to #43

#151 - Same colors, just the new font style
#152 - The font stlye, colors and line from #50

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #151)

This is the font style from #50 applied to #128:

#153 - with the line
#154 - without the line

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #153)

This is the font from #50 applied to #102

#155 - with the line
#156 - without the line

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #155)

Here's #50 with "Voice-over artist" changed to "Voice Actor" like the others.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #157)

This is #103 changed to "Voice Actor"

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #158)

Hi Steve,

This is #78 changed to "Voice Actor"

I think that's all of them, but if I misunderstood anything please let me know.
And of course if you want any other variations or changes, it's no trouble at all.

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #159)

Hi Steve,

This is #128 with the only change being "Voice Actor"

Thank you,
Tim

(This comment references Entry #160)

Tim,
One last idea (I think!).....

Can you turn the microphones in design #'s 157, 152, and 160 upside-down so they look like they are hanging off of a stand? I don't really want to see much of the stand...maybe just the joint where the mic meets the stand.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

No trouble at all. I'll work on those this evening as I'm out running errands right now.
Thanks again for the feedback,
Tim
