    Now tmdesign you have to throw in #137 and that's excellent as well.

  • April 21, 2010 1:35 PM Sergem

    Ok I'm on it.

    Its down to #132 or #136. Thank you all for your great efforts. Alexa I really did like yours but couldn't get the font weight right.

    Hi Sergem please active #132 I like the balls closer like that instead of #133

    Hi Sergem. Can you make the balls in #118 look less like they are planets by combining them more like your #113, but not that triangular grouping a little more spread out.

    insignia. I like your designs #110 -112 but the ball only should have the embossed look to be 3D an not the text.

    sergem can you make the "swoop" under the text like #92 on #76
    in #83 I like the placement of the ball in the middle of the swoop too. But can you put your colored balls in a line at that location.

    tmdesign #105 great. But use different ball patterns. Now because they are all the same they look like balls of wool or yarn. Don't use drop shadow.
    #103 looks too much like a bunch of balloons
    #101 good. Like the font but same comment re 105 and ball line patterns.

    alexa #97 great. but font too bold. I like the font and weight of #92 and the font border of #101 because it makes the word stand out. Your others are good too but graduating fonts are too hard to embroider.

    Sergem #82 and #83 are both good. Can you please try all 3 balls with one smaller as before and showing different ball patterns same as your #76. I think with one ball it may look too much like a globe.

    Hi Alexa I still really like your #33. But prefer to have the font and colors like #76

  • April 20, 2010 7:37 PM Sergem

    Thanks for the atest comments. I'll see what can be done with that ball:)

    Hi Sergem your #80 looks good but I'd prefer that the ball was not so symmetrically aligned with the pattern on the ball. Try bigger ball, rotated so it looks 3 dimensional ( like the red ball in your other images ) and placed under the P and without the thick border on the ball. Perhaps also try to have it not so exactly geometric looking by using some artistic tools. The text is already geometric and perhaps having the image with the text be more "artistic" would give the logo more "pop" and recognition.

    Hello Insignia. I prefer a filled font like #76 or #77.

    Thank you for your input Fawwaz. I feel that your logos are to busy with too many balls and looks like a galaxy.

    thanks for your comments!! some revisions added!!

    Thank you all for the great work. I got tied up in some other tasks over the last couple of days so have just gotten back to this.

    I really like the font and balls to the left in # 55 and #64. A change I'd make there, or in fact in any logo that shows the 3 balls, is that the steel ball for petanque is approx 2/3rds the size of red or green bocce ball.

    Still like #33 its a very clear message.

    I also like #68 as the message is strong with just the one ball that because of its style covers both games. But the 3D imagery of the font don't quite do it for me. 3D'ish ball is a good idea however.

    #70 looks good to with the stylised idea of the ball in motion. Can't quite put my finger on why it does not totally grab me.

    As the font type is roundish and the balls are round, of course, make a reflection of the letters as each of the ball types seen in #28.

    or

    the letters playaboule wrapped onto a stylized ball

    or

    a single large stlized ( or not ) ball, perhaps to the left, with the playaboule letters in front and an offset of the letters that cut ball image, That way the word stands out.

    or

    one ball that morphs from chrome (metal), to dark red to dark green.

    a combination of the above.

    Sergem. The idea of having a few balls of each type is good. So I would say at this point that #28 #29 and #30 are closest to what is "grabbing" us. But it seems there is some "artistry" missing that I see in other logos in the portfolio.
    Perhaps someone could try the idea of a ball/s that are behind the text.
    The text by the way is as I noted in the brief from families like baha and bauhaus. Our preference is bold.

  • April 15, 2010 12:05 AM Sergem

    Inline with the thought of keeping the logo identifiable with petanque and bocce games, draft#29 & 30 for the proposed logotype have both balls integrated in it. The chrome on the side of the "playa", near the p for petangue, and the bocce ball on the O of boule coinciding close to the word bocce. This way I think both games are represented on the logo.

    #27 could be a direction if we wanted a logo just for our lighted balls but has to much color for this logo.

    Some additional keywords to help creative juices.
    Petanque is a French game, Bocce Italian. Its played in parks, at the beach, backyards. Its a summer game. It can be serious at competition level but is a fun game for a mass market.
    Bocce is resin plastic balls in traditional colors of dark red and dark green.
    Petanque is steel balls, sometimes chromed.
    Bocce balls are about the size of a softball.
    Petanque balls are about the size of a tennis ball.
    Most distinguishing is that both games have balls groove patterns to distinguish which balls belong to which player.
    So a drawing of a single ball without color would have players of either game think the image is for their specific sport.

    We want to appeal to both groups with one logo.

    Alisha: I like the concept of less balls. Its our company name that is important as branding and although the other submissions were good our name was getting lost.

    Alexa: Striking image but too specific in the player image. The game has many styles and is not age or gender specific so having a person I feel is not the right direction. By the way that image is of a lawn bowler.

    Sergem: I tend to like #17 as it is a little whimsical but perhaps to many balls of the bocce type.

  • April 14, 2010 4:44 PM Sergem

    Interesting. Actually I've experienced playing lawn bowling way back although I didn't know it by the name given here.

    The groove patterns are so that the players can tell their balls apart.
    Bocce balls tend to be red and green. So 1 team has red the other green. If there are 2 players per team then each player uses the same groove pattern for their 2 balls.
    In Petanque its even more important as the balls are all steel. There may be some "hue" difference in the steels of the balls but the groove patterns confirm who has the winning ball.
    Other example is golf. All the balls are white but the logos or ball makers are different and that allows the players to tell their balls apart.
