Discussion

 
Thanks for all your submissions! You had some great ideas in this contest, listened to the brief closely and have produced some great results. #8 closely follows the design language of Darien Library, which we really like. We did like how the "pages" overlapped in their logo, creating some visual contrast, but maybe that is copying it too much.

As for #22, do you think it might look good to have the middle book a little lower, so that it looked a little more like a "W"? Might be worth trying if you think it would look good.

#23 is pretty good as is, although it reminds us a little of a educational company (like Scholastic) and less of a public entity like a library. Still a nice design though!

#44 doesn't really add up - our library is a historic building and that looks like an office building. We would prefer not to receive submissions of any buildings in the logo anyways.

Dear CH, thanks for your comment feedback. I have posted the changes on for #22 as suggested. Also, I made the logo vertically for this time. I hope there will fit your needs.. Please feel free to comment or ask.

Thanks

Thanks, I have updated the color change and I tried the leaf version as suggested.. Please let me know for any request. :)

In regards to #8 can we see it with a typographic layout similar to:
https://www.forumforthefuture.org/sites/all/themes/fftf/logo.png

Please somehow emphasize the word library too.

(to note we do not want to see it purple though)

Thank you!

In regards to #111 we'd like to request some variations:

Could the font be 'Expo Serif Pro' ?

Color Combinations we'd like to see:
1) brown/gray combination
2) brown/turquoise
3) red/black/white
4) gray/turquoise

Thank you!

Hello.. sorry for the delay.. I'm working on the changes now.. :)

Were planning on picking you for the winner, but we would like to see design #111, #184, and #183 with other color variations (like this: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/580974/Adrift_in_Dreams or this: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/49963/let_them_eat_cake, or: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/1283145/The_Way_You_Love_Me)

and every word in the library more equally balanced with the font that we mentioned (https://typekit.com/fonts/expo-serif-pro) and the text more like this (https://www.forumforthefuture.org/sites/all/themes/fftf/logo.png) or like this (http://www-tc.pbs.org/mediashift/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2014/02/innovatelogo.jpg).

Dear CH, I'm sorry for the delay. I have updated the changes with the text layout as suggested. I'm apologized but I don't have the font you've mentioned, but I tried another similar font. Please let me know for any request..
Thanks :)

Thanks but we would still like to see the same kind of layout as in https://www.forumforthefuture.org/sites/all/themes/fftf/logo.png and http://www-tc.pbs.org/mediashift/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2014/02/innovatelogo.jpg

With the image to the left and the text to the right:
<logo image> Wayland Free
Public Library
------> its important the words are all the *same* font size (so that WAYLAND doesn't stand out)


As well as like this:

Wayland Free <logo image> Public Library
- tagline -


Thanks so much! Hope that was clear --- <logo image> is the image in #111.

the tagline on the second one can be "Explore. Learn. Connect"

Thanks again!

LOL, Yes I think I did.. :) FEE and FREE, its so quite different... Sorry for that.. I'm updating now.. :)

Can we see #231 with more variations of font weights and sizes?
In the forum of the future example there is bold, light, and normal weighted typefaces, can we see something like that?

example:
https://www.forumforthefuture.org/sites/all/themes/fftf/logo.png

Can we also please see a few logos using this color palette please?
http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/49963/let_them_eat_cake

Can we use the image from #217 instead of the last one? Thanks!
9 years ago
 
Awesome thank you! Can we also see the image from #217 and #8 in the middle of the words:

Wayland Free <image> Public Library

and right below it in light gray "Learn. Explore. Connect."

Similar to the logo mentioned above:
https://www.forumforthefuture.org/sites/all/themes/fftf/logo.png and http://www-tc.pbs.org/mediashift/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2014/02/innovatelogo.jpg

After the contest ends and we've chosen you we are hoping we could get the design for #2 in an email or message, since the library cannot decided if it likes #1 or #2 more and we'd like to end this contest today. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for the comment. I think that selecting 2 logos in one contest doesn't allowed in Logotournament. Nevertheless, any CH can ask for minor changes after the contest is over. I hope this is make sense...

Thank you,

In contests passed, we've requested the alternates as long as its from the same designer #1 and no trouble before.

Hi, thank you for selecting my entry, and I have uploaded the final files... About the additional logo, I think I have to ask the permission to the LT Admin since as long as I know it's breaking the rule in here in LT. I hope this make sense.

Thanks
