I think you're onto something with the #87 design. Can you simplify it a bit? Also logo along side of words works better for our applications, I think.
Congrats on your awesome ranking! And I would much prefer to deal with a fellow North American, given the choice, 'cause future work and designs would be much easier that way!
BTW thank you for the complement and i do agree most of my clients are in North America and several overseas...personally I find it more efficient to deal within the same continent.
I agree with you on #97 - now can you make the shape of the acorn broader at the shoulders than at the hips? I'm thinking it's a bit too much like the shape of an eggplant right now.
Then - just to save you a trip - can we play with some colors along with the black on white (not too flashy, but perhaps muted, natural colors like browns or greens)?
#110 Looks best so far. Wondering what it would look like to try some of the following variations: Acorn a bit broader still at the top WALDEN a bit larger, with BACKYARDS a bit smaller but stretched out to same width as WALDEN Using brown and black colors (perhaps W and WALDEN in brown, or variations?)
Sorry for so many experiments, just trying to get it just right!
Regarding #117, can you get the word BACKYARDS to center more on the base of the word WALDEN, rather than on the top of it? (somewhat more like the version #110)
I agree with you, black on white is good as the basic art, then will likely make the W and the word WALDEN in brown for some applications with the rest of it remaining in black. Can we see it that way?
You're doing a great job. What would be your rate moving forward when we have other work?
