umxca: is it me, or did this look different last night? (the bit4.png). Has it been changed, or was this the original bit4.png?

umxca · 10-21-2008, 08:33 AM

That is the original, no changes were made

Can I see a version of the logo that has a "cartoony" color feel to it? Just for comparison? For instance, alexcristache's recent attempt has colors that are a bit "cartoony", and a feel that's a bit "cartoony". I'm sure we want professional in the end, but I'm trying to look at all options. Thanks!

umxca · 10-21-2008, 08:42 PM

Here's one variation....thx

manlymatt83 · 10-21-2008, 11:23 PM

My business partner and I talked it over tonight, and we're actually thinking of a nice combination of solid purple and solid dark green, OR something to do with dark blue and we also like the red/black color combination. Just a suggestion for anyone who wants to consider any new submissions.

as someone stated before, coloring scheme is easily changed so any comments about the design would be most useful.

Hi again,

Here are some variations based on your latest color suggestions.
One thing I'd like to point out regarding your previous suggestion.
If were to pay attention to the basic rules of the color theory (color combination), purple and dark green are not complementary colors. They are both "cold" colors and both are "passive". For a successful and pleasant combination, they usually have to be balanced out by complementary colors (warm and active).

In our case, purple would be best balanced by a yellow to orange specter, while green, by a dark orange to red specter.

Of course there are more possibilities of combining colors, but usually, none that will involve both purple and dark green, without adding at least one or two other colors (which would transform the logo into a rainbow). Another thing is that (and you don't know whenever you'll need to used it), purple and dark green are dark colors that will not stand out quite OK on a darker background.

No matter your decision, take the above as a friendly designer advice.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/design-contests/524765-req-logo-50-additional-50-bonus.html

And now, per your request, here are my variations for my 2nd and 3rd designs.

Version 2 variations:

Version 3 variations:

As before, looking forward to your feedback.

Kind regards,

Alex

You're right. The purple and green do not go together. I think at this point we'll keep searching for the perfect design and then work with the person we pick to change the colors.

Thanks for the revisions.

I look forward to seeing some more unique designs and submissions until contest ending early next week. Thanks!

Definitely the best route to go!

This post was edited numerous times - please re-read before posting

Just so everyone knows, we're leaning towards this design right now:

It doesn't look bulky, and it doesn't look off centered. Others we like of his include:

and somewhat:

Though we did not like:

http://www.umx.ca/images/bit1.png

because they were off-center, or just didn't flow.

Another design we liked, though right now its in second place because it just doesn't grab our attention as much, is Alex's design below:

Just so people know, we thrive on being a company that offers personal service. We like forming a personal relationship with our customers. We also want a logo that is simple... so simple it can be drawn by a 5 year old (of course, not that crisp and clear, but still).

Also, umxca, could you submit a version of your logo with the circle rotated in a few different positions? While I like the 1, I'm not sure we want it straight up and down. Perhaps rotate the circle 45 or 90 degrees a few times and show a few examples of those rotations?

Thanks for any new submissions this post brings!

Best,

Matt

umxca · 10-24-2008, 11:05 AM

thx for the FB....here's 2 rotation variations one 45 and one 90...thx

Feel free to retry another submission! I liked where it was going, but the 1 is very obvious --- too obvious.
