We've had to extend this contest by five days, due to my favourite logo so far being a little to similar to another one elsewhere in the world. I'm working with the designer to see if we can make some subtle changes, but this does OPEN IT RIGHT UP, for new designers to show me what they can do.
So, please please please, would be great to see some fresh designs. Don't just think circle and aperture. I'm sure you can see I very much like Spidermoon's designs entered, but I'd like to see some original ideas.
Avoid being too cliche - stay well clear of landmarks like Big Ben etc.
With the flag, I like darker colours, they look more expensive. Do not do bright red white and blues.
ALSO, look at the sweeping effects of the Eurovision Song Contest. http://www.eurovision.tv/page/dusseldorf-2011
We like for instance the heart that has the light torch effect. Perhaps you can gain some inspiration here, but I do need to keep a flag somewhere within. The Union Jack.
Good luck designers. I am away for a couple of days, so I will be watching the designs as they build. Will comment where I can to designers.
dear PH, I hope my design # 283 - # 289 to give you another option in addition to aperture, while the design of my first take is the icon hart, but have you eliminated.
I'm loving the circular designs guys, but it appears that we're close to another company's design, so I need to think of something else that could go with the aperture ring is? Love the placement of the Union Jack and the subtle nature of this design, but something else instead of the aperture?
Hi guys, again, don't just copy the design Spidermoon has done, please create your own concepts. It's good to see what YOU can do, not what you can make of someone else's concept. Cheers guys.
Hi Spidermoon... can you try putting the text size you use in #155 around the darker flag used in #118. I want to keep #155 as well, since that is my favourite so far. Neale
Hi designers, take another look at the brief - I've uploaded an old logo we used to use. I think we've come as far as we can come with the circular concept and for me, spidermoon's designs really are terrific. So, as a final mixing pot idea, see what you can do with the uploaded file I have just popped up in the design brief area. Kindest, Neale
#133 Spidermoon, spot on with the lettering I think... can you keep to the darker colour scheme you had in 118. Try a version of #133 with various lettering tones of grey, lighter perhaps. Also can you try a smaller font, it will mean you have more spacing between letters, but I'd like to see how it works. Getting there!
#113 Christina, like your thoughts, but the other half aperture ring that spidermoon has wins over on this one, it's more subtle to my eye. Feel free to come up with a different concept, say a stamp, or some kind of seal, a wax seal... something that departs from the circle, people seem to be jumping on that...
Hi guys, got some messages with regard to whether the contest is still open, as I've eliminated a fair few. The answer is definately yes. I'm certainly loving what I see from one particular designer, but it doesn't stop you coming up with different ideas. Cheers guys, some fabulous work!
#99 is fabulous Spidermoon. Can you darken the blues, I want to make the colouring slightly more subtle, and a touch darker than our actual flag colours. Also the text around the outside, can you have the same letter spacing for NEALE JAMES and BREATHE PICTURES, it would be good to see if with a touch more spacing the words could actually flow around the whole circle?
#80 is the closest yet we feel, as it encompasses the flag alongside an aperture, very photography. Your thinking process is great. Can you give it the kind of 3D button treatment I see for example in #75? Also can you wrap the BREATHE PICTURES around the bottom of the circle, in a simple pro font, look at what's used on my website www.breathepictures.com at the moment. It would be quite cool to see NEALE JAMES wrapped around the top too, so the two words form a circle around the logo? Neale
Hi designers, really appreciate your input. I know I am eliminating as we go, just so that I can see the wood for the trees. Think subtle. Have a look at http://www.duwayne.co.za/weddings/
This guy's logo is subtle, understated, expensive looking. Think along these lines as you go.
