Alright all!
This has been a great project with many strong contributions. Our warmest regards goes out to the amazing designer community here. It has been tough to select the winner, but there can't be a competition without one!
So the winner is.... drumroll... AbsolutMudd with design #100 ! It both gives the right impression, looks very good, and at the same time as its clean and simple.
Special recognition goes to some runner ups who we think shares the second place. BigGenius with #102, creativebit with #106 & ACEdesign with #114. You could have all been winners.
Today we had a meeting to discuss the entries, and we eliminated all the entries which the three of us all did not see as a potential winner. We will have a more detailed run through when the deadline of the project is over. If you want more feedback to any of your design, please tell us and we'll gladly contribute.
On Tuesday our team will sit down and eliminate all but the finalists, and write the final constructive feedback to the best entries.
The stars and input I have given here might not completely represent the final judgement since I mainly do this myself, so please don't withdraw anything.
smakdesign #38#40 I think the sphere looks quite good! Though, in version #40 I think the text would look a bit better if it was positioned slightly more to the right
ACEdesign: #41#42#43#44#45#46 Wow you are industrious! The color change from previous entries is a definite improvement, though I am not sure I like the font. It is great that you provide more entries, but as I mentioned last round we would prefer to receive some different themes. Too many similar alternatives doesnt make a big difference in the end.
ACEdesign: #56#57#58#59 Great with a new type of design, and the symbol looks OK from an art perspective. Though, it gives me a bit of a timid impression so I don't think I would go for it. Though, my partners seem to have a somewhat different taste than me, so lets see what they say.
GayungBersambut #47#48 Good color and nice font. Though I dont really like the slash through the text in #47. #48 makes me think about the playboy bunny. :P Both designs looks stylish and well done. Though, I am not sure if I think they stand out of the crowd.
fawwaz #49#50 Since one of my partners really liked your previous #10 he might have to be the final judge on these ones also. Though, I think #50 looks clean and simple, and I am not that fond of #49. The design of it's O is a bit too rough for my taste
cioby #51 Another good design from your side. It gives a techy impression, which I guess comes from the somewhat edgy font and the emphasis of the blue color. Still your last design is the best of yours so far and I wish I had a concrete suggestion of how to make it less domestic and more commercial.
box1508 #52 Seriously, we already have a lot of similar entries. Be original!
ProtonKid13 #53 Design looks very sharp! I don't really have any constructive input to it.
Robby #54#55 The later one looks exactly like a store frenchise over here, except the bubbles. #55 looks gorgeous and is probably the most artistic entry so far. Though, it is quite big and I think there is a chance it gives too much of a warm and cozy impression and too little of a technology company. Lets see what my partners says when we have our final evaluation meeting.
I think we have enough entries with just text and some kind of sun. If you want to make more of those please do something a lot better than the current ones. Else, we would be very grateful if we could get something totally different for diversity.
We will probably pick an entry which is at least a bit creative, unless there is a simpler design which look very classy. #28 is a good example of something more out of the box which we would consider, even though #28 is aiming a bit too much on the wrong target segment.
We would also prefer if you don't use too bright colors, especially yellow. We prefer the darker orange color. #36 is an entry with good choice of colors not too bright. Also please make some effort in the selection of fonts.
Thanks a lot for your time and effort! We are very happy we decided to try this format of getting design done!
cioby #28 Wow, that is a great improvement to the last ones. I think this one is quite good, and would work well if our main segment was domestic users. We are however working a lot with industries and hotels as well, and most roofs in the market here is flat and not tilted. There is nothing in your logo I don't like or would change, I just fear that it would appeal to a too narrow target segment. Maybe you can play around with it a bit and make it less householdish? Keep the strong usage of blue, it makes a stronger technical impression and adds diversity to the other entries. Good creativity!
smakdesign #29#30#31 - Your #16 is still the best of your entries. It's font is definitely on top. We will probably go for more creative though, so if you feel like making more contributions I suggest doing something totally different. Thanks for all the efforts!
Robby my man! #32 I believe is an improvement to the last entries of yours. Though I am not sure what to make out of the blue circle with white lines. Is it some circular solar panel or is it the sun far away with some some beams coming in? Or maybe just something totally abstract. The first thing I get to think of when I see the design is ironically the moon. Its reminds of the moon almost at eclipse. I would probably also not choose that font. It is a bit weak and it looks a bit funny with the O being bigger than the other characters. Then its just my amateur taste.. =)
ACEdesign #33#34#35#36 - Out of those #34 is for sure the best. Though we prefer the colors used in #36. Maybe a thicker font would also be of preference. With those changes #34 might be a potential finalist if we decide for going for something simpler. If you want to do more entries I would suggest something more creative also. Thanks a lot for all the efforts!
jp1876: (#15) Sorry, I missed your single entry for some reason when going through the designs. I can't point exactly at what it is that doesn't make me like the entry that much. It is a bit simple and I am not sure what to make out of it. A sun with a PhotoVoltaic hat? :-) (No offense)
Alright, here comes the first round of input. First of all, thanks for your efforts so far!
In order to be as transparent as possible with our thoughts I will write everything here to see for everyone. I will also write to you individually to make it easier for you to follow the project.
cioby: (#1-4) Congratulations for being the first one out, you get a bonus point for that! You get a plus for being good at following the brief to a great extent, but your entries are not up to par with some of the others. I think the fonts and colors looks good, but the designs are a bit generic and plain according to my taste. Nothing in #1 stands out, which makes it not catch the eye. #2 is somewhat better with the reflections in the orange color standing out. #3 is a good effort with the sun, but the thin font makes the whole logo look faint. A logo should not be scared to be seen. #4 is kind of balanced but still quite plain. Don't get me wrong, I think the designs looks OK by themselves and that you probably are a good designer, but these entries just does not make is as logos for us. In your defence we did say in the brief that we want something clean and simple, but this is taking it too far in that direction. You are free to come with more suggestions if you woud like, but if you don't then I wish you luck for future projects!
raindesign: (#5-9) Thanks for accepting the invitation! In general your entries are much to our liking. Though, #9 is an exception where the text doesnt look that good and the design is boring relative to your other entries. #8 is a bit too yellow. The color of the art and the text could work alone, but not together. Not our whole team likes the font very much, even though its OK. #7 looks great. Only question is if there would be a better font. The A's especially ruins the impression a bit. #6 looks great, nothing really to change or add that we can think of. #5 also looks good, while being the simplest of the designs. We just wish the orange color could be a bit darker. All in all an impressive work from you!
fawwaz: (#10-11) In general I think your entries have high quality with good fonts and colors. Very clean and simple design. The problem to me isnt so much about the art but rather the impression they leave. #10 would be a good logo for a company marketing hiking experiences in the mountains or reindeer snacks. (Was meant as humor and not an insult) #11 is a little bit scattered with all the small pieces, and to me it kind of makes a sad impression. I am not sure what makes it, but I guess its the sun going down and the convex arc which subconsciously gets registered as a sad face in a smiley. So, OK work but not hitting our spot. Thanks for the effort!
smakdesign: (#13-14+16) I also think the quality of your designs are good, but they dont really hit our spot. #13 would probably be a very good logo for a video gaming company. It does give a techy feeling as we did request, but its more like a sci-fi alien monster impression. Half-Life 3 anyone? #14 & #16 are a bit too plain for our taste. #16 is a clear improvement over #14 though, so good job with catching that. Maybe it would have a chance if we decide to go for something simple, but I doubt that. Thanks for the effort!
Robby: (#17+#24-25) I am not just that into the shiny surfaces you are using here. The logos makes me think of Sonic the hedgehog and Megaman. The lines used in #24 is a little too cluttery. Nice tries, but not really for us.
ACEdesign: (#19-23) You are clearly a good designer and you really managed to deliver on the outdoors/natural option we ticked. It is just a bit too much for our taste. #21 gives the impression of a flower garden with lotus, and #22-#23 of sunflowers. The sunflowers look a bit gloomy though. The colors of #20 lacks spark and is a bit too dull. The design looks good though, but it doesn't strike any chords for me for some reason. Good job with the sun though! #19 is too plain, but thanks for giving us a clear 2-color choice
We are sorry if we did not manage to give someone of you enough constructive input. We hope that the combined input to all the designs will make it more clear what we are after or not. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Thanks for all the contributions so far! I will crosscheck the first round of entries with my partners before giving constructive feedback, just to make sure I won't lead you into the wrong track before the final decision. Keep it up!
Correction: we WILL give feedback and thoughts to all entries. To make sure that both you and we get the most out of the project we will log in several times a day to give feedback and input, and develop our idea of an ideal logo on the way. We hope to have you with us on the journey!
