Zizi Designs LtdLogo Design Contest

just wanted to say thanks for your entries. I'll do a ranking and comment later tonight.

Hi, thanks for your submissions. I like the bold simplicity of #62 and could imagine using it in different single colours for different lines. The designs ltd doesn't quite relate to the rest, though, and I am finding that I like the tag Accessories from Africa more and more as I find it incorporated in the different designs. Maybe drop the Designs ltd and use the tag?

#59-61 are more elaborate and flowery than I had in mind, although I do like the block of text with the playful use of the letter i. Maybe you could develop that further in some way?

I'll look forward to what you present next. Thanks and good night.

Sorry, meant to say that I like the rounded square of #59-60.

You've dazzled with #100 & #101. Will send comments tomorrow. Many thanks!

Thank you for your commentaries, if your me guides with your ideas we will come to your aims(lenses).

Hi, sorry for disappearing. I do much prefer #100 &#101 to #102 and your earlier entries #61 & #62. I love colour, so I guess I would say I like #101 best, although that is possibly in part because the lettering is a little bolder than #100. I would like to see what #100 & #101 could look like in B/W please.

Forgot to mention that I also like how you've captured folksy-60s crafty-Africa-world peace/trade and probably a lot of other concepts in your subtle yin-yang concept. Clever!

I sit(feel) but do not understand it well the Englishman, you want that he(she) designs #101 in black and white?

hi, sorry I have not commented for a while. Yes, I would like to see how #101 could work in black and white. It is not a must but a plus if the design can work as B/W. I will not have a large budget for print initially.

#179 & 180 are strong and compact, but feel #179 is better because it is easier to read the Accessories line. It is also better balanced.

Of #173-#177, I feel #177 is the most striking of the series and #176 is also appealing, pretty and light. However, I don't feel this series of designs derived from #102 says very much about my business. they are kind of generic.

#172 has a very fresh color combination. I like it. However, on both #171 & #172, I found myself wondering what the pattern was on the square dot of the i, especially in the small size. I feel the "halo" of diamonds around the dot in #173 makes this question a little less important, and it is my favorite of your uses of the little circle of diamonds.

Hi Alberto, thanks for your newest contributions. I'm afraid I'm going to bin them all as I find them too sleek and monochromatic for a "crafty" company.

I much prefer your #101 and #179. I'm sorry I haven't yet suggested ways to refine them. I do fee #179 is a little "boxed in". Maybe the accessories line could wrap around the outside of the circle? Then the yin could be upright instead of tilted to the left. I'm also not sure teh blocky sans serif type is the best complement to the curvy lines of the yin/yang globe. It just doesn't seem to relate.

hope this will give you some new ideas and I will continue to look at it as I am extending the contest kidogo.

Thanks and good night.

Excuse me but I do not understand you very well,I do not speak the Englishman and you it is difficult to me to deal, but of all forms it(he,she) will try to do for what you ask me, a greeting, Alberto.

I hope that you like my last works, a greeting alberto.

Hi Alberto, I like your last designs, very bold and the ladies are very elegant. I'll run them past my group of advisors and see what the response is. If I were going to ask for revisions, I probably would ask you to try some different bold colours, but I feel the pink and green work well enough. Also, I find the masks a little Pacific-Islander or Native American in feeling rather than African, just as I feel some of Ujang's motifs also felt very Indonesian rather than African.

Thank you for trying again. let's see what the judging brings.

All the best to you.
