Zimbali GroupLogo Design Contest

Thanks for the submissions. We like entry #14 and especially its font.

Look at entry #5 for the following ideas
- Replicate the graduated color in the word Zimbali
- Create one version with the faint leaf imprints in the letters and one without

#14 - try and make the green a bit bolder - it looks a little "soft" and weak in terms of a logo and not strong enough.
The placement of the swirls and flowers / leaves work however we feel the flowers are too "grandmother" like - in other words, try make them a bit more contemporary and perhaps emulate a more tropical / spikey looking plant rather than like a grandmothers garden flowers.

Thanks for the updates.

#31 is now our favorite option.

Some additional recommendations:
- outline the word Zimbali with a soft outline like in #5
- soften the color of the word "group" - perhaps to charcoal grey or similar to #5. Size and location of the word "group" is good just needs to be de-emphasized

Look at #24 for the blue color - we like that blue and would like to incorporate it.
A few related color options:
- Make the flowers blue
- Graduate the word Zimbali - little bit of blue at the bottom to green towards the top - in the same hue as the flowers

Even though the word Zimbali means "Valley of the Flowers" in Zulu (a Southern African language), the flowers make the logo look feminine and we're trying to make it look a little more masculine. Any chance we could add tufts of different size grass or a tree or something subtle that wouldn't make it too busy but more masculine. We are completely open to your ideas.

Thanks for the input and I really look forward to your changes.

Thank you for the guidance i am working on it...

#31 is the overall design we still like

However, take the outlined Zimbali and smaller & softer Group font from # 36 & change #31 (its what I recommended above)

Work blue into the overall logo - use the same hue of blue as the blue circle in #24 - we are open to ideas on what you can change.

Thanks

We like # 47 - please create the following versions off of #47

- create one version with graduated green Zimbali (same color green as #31) and blue flowers
- a separate version - Blue Zimbali like #47 but remove the floating flowers and leave flowers in the "A"

#47 - just saw that the sun is sitting higher in #47 vs #50 - please settle the sun a little lower and incorporate the suggestions above.

Thanks

#48 - plse do an identical version with a orange and yellow sphere - the blue version really pops and we'd love to see one that includes what looks like a sun.

Thanks

#90 - still our favorite

Please make the following changes:
- tighten up the sun and the valley detail a little - ie bring it down a little so that it is closer the the words Zimbali
- the space between the "L" and the "I" is very tight so it almost looks like a "U" - plse increase the space slightly between those two letters so that it is similar to the space between the "Z" and "I" in the beginning of the word.

Thanks for the help.

Thank you for the second chance...

Hi there

We selected #130 as the winner because we ran out of time and didn't you to not get the award money. We would love a final version change. Take #47 & replicate the "thick" enhanced (blue & green) Z in #130 and include it in #47.

I am repeating my request that the space between the "L" and the "I" is very tight so it almost looks like a "U" - plse increase the space slightly between those two letters so that it is similar to the space between the "Z" and "I" in the beginning of the word.

Thanks

Hi there

I am sorry to ask for a final change. My husband has changed his mind again in terms of the final version you submitted for upload. Please could we change the final version - Zimbali back to green (like 130) and bring the sun down so that it doesn't look like it is floating as much in thin air.

That should be it and I apologise for having to ask for so many iterations of the design.

Thanks for all the help.
