#25 - I don't mind going in a more "playful" direction with the logo and font display, yet I'm not sure about the conversation bubble approach with the frequency... We might be able to play with that idea. The frequency could be bigger and closer in distance to the rest of the logo. I do like how you added on ."com" on at the end in that style. We would also use the logo on a white backrground or other colors more often than black. Other colors and black would be a secondary use. You mispelled "family".
#26 - The changes are definately in the right direction. I think the "light diffusion" effect on the top makes it harder to read while using the lighter colors (though I do like your choice in colors). The 104.7 still needs to be bigger - as large as the WFRN or at least 2/3 of the size. Although we use "Your Friend of the Family" in our marketing on our website, we are requesting "family friendly" as the key phrase for the logo. (However,that is a small change and would not be the reason that we wouldn't give a design the final vote.) This is just a thought... but what if you made the colored blocks taller and inserted "104.7" there (below the WFRN)? I appreciate your efforts on this project - you are obviously a good designer. The winner of the contest will be difficult to choose. I will need to gather input from my committee and take that into consideration before placing my final vote. Good luck!
Thank you for your work on our designs. Our final decision on the winner will not be instant as I would like to get further input from my committee. I wanted to be sure that you caught a general message the I just posted on the site:
As the contest is ending in just a few hours... I want to thank everyone who has submitted entries, especially those who have taken my suggestions and done multiple revisions. Although Logo Tournament has some great qualities, it is unfortunate that only one artist can win the contest. WFRN is open to finding additional graphic artists to assist us in designing our promotional products and marketing material. This includes, but is not limited to designing: mailing postcards, billboards, t-shirts, promotional contest logos and especially web banners of varying sizes. If you have an online portfolio of examples of some of these types of graphics and are interested in doing work for us, please email me, Rachelle Brandt at: rbrandt@wfrn.com and use "Logo Tournament" in the email subject.
