Brief We want an angel with the text Seraphim. It is a website logo for a brazilian city heritage site (mainly buildings from 1880-1950). The inspiration is Kandinsky meets Web 2.0 (ref) (ref) with turn of the (19th) century expressionist(ish) or art deco lettering. Anything with an 1890-1920s feel would be great. Seraphim is a six winged angel.

There are plenty of seraphim images -- what we already have, what we like and what might help are at http://www.telonio.com/namepro us_er:namepro p_assw:namepro We are looking for something fresh though, so GO CRAZY!

Colors: Pick from -- Orange, Blue, White (http://www.digital-web.com/) Red, Yellow (as in the examples)

Size: 400/450x130/150

More detail:
- If you include a face on the angel we would like it classical, sculpted but representative of multiple brazilian roots.
- Font/Lettering - GPL or distorted-widely-available if possible. Not tooooo serif. font size less important than visibility
- Nothing like Sera_phim Ha_ir Design please.
- Delivery in PNG, PSD and vector please


Thanks!!

Here is my first attempt. The angel has 6 wings and the text is older styled. I can change everything here so please give me some feedback!

*Believe*

Thanks for this!

Got good positive feedback from the seraphim team.
Concept: Great
Dimensions: Great
Stamp/age effect: Great
Text, Image proportions: Little more angel, little less text. Angel - fatter & taller.
Colors: Hotter coloring - touches of red, orange or yellow
Overall: A little more angelic, four bigger wings, two smaller


Way forward with yours: Here is a quick sketch on top of yours, showing how a pair of wings could be extended into the text maybe




NB There is a *touch* of goatse where the head is )))))

Best

[believe]

Awesome. il work on it and get back to you!

 

[believe]

do u want the middle spot erased im a little confused about that sketch.

I didnt change the logo but improved on the other points! Feedback please

Hey, believe, thanks, awesome color,

the middle spot erased

If there is a face it would be good to have a classic greek/roman sculpted one. If there is no face then a distinct representation of a head.

Kandinsky does this and this

confused about that sketch.

It was a literal. just add two bigger wings that intertwine with the lettering

changes I wanted to your original blue design: text 30% smaller, angel same size two bigger wings, dabs of orange, yellow of red on the blue you already have.


what i really like: Nice degrade, dude. Special. Shows how strong your original angel is. Tweaks are always good.

Way forward: Combine the blue and flame colours in one (glow? shadow, inner?) Bring the font back up towards original. Fatten wings a touch. Intertwine one pair wings in lettering. Distinctify (desphinctify )))))))) an angel head.

Wayward idea: Maybe stroking like Thirty (1937)

Keep it up - I like it all!! Thanks thanks *believe*!


Hi Zenius,

Great start, glad you're in! You have got good color, nice form and have nailed an excellent font.

I feel the outlining could go a little more freehand or fatter stroked. Here is an inspiration and perhaps reinforcement of the angel visibility.

The plaque effect behind the text is inspired. I'm a little greyed out but the direction is good and you could go more web2.0. We only need the text "seraphim". Cutaway KIKO logos or a deviant skypish spread are two ways to add to your stroke.

Brilliant! T

 

[Hemisphere]

hey here is my try

 

[ZeniusIVanisher]

hmm, i'm kind of going out on a limb here; but i think it looks pretty neat (better than my first IMHO)

 

[telonio]

Wow Hemisphere, Zenius. Mmmmmmm. Both looking goooooood. I will have to sleep on these and get my colleague to look at them first thing. We are about an hour before EST here.

Hemi: Execution 100% I think the green counterpoint safely sits in our colorband with yellow tone. Nicely brasil. I'll cut it and shuffle it. Font is lush too. There is one glaring thing that we need - six wings. Could you kind of give more impression they are there, ghosting four or some shadowing, angling. What do you think? I reckon a little recycling and layering should do it, low effort.



Zen: That is one smoooooth tweak you did. It looks the same but totally different. I will pass to my colleague who'll be working the holiday. Starts 7am so only 5 hrs to go.


Cheers once again. Excellent.

REVISED:

Feedback is appreciated, thanks

 

[telonio]

my entry. Feedback is appreciated, thanks

This is excellent and high quality. I have no negatives and see an opportunity for horizontalizing things while maintaining the "circle S" like this:



The blue degrades are a dream and maybe you could do a great eb0000, ff6600, ffbb00-like job on the text (excuse my color sense). Well maybe!

This would set the thing on fire (it's already smokin')

Top stuff illusionz!

My entry is below. Feedback is much appreciated!

Yum. Era - spot on. Angel - tops. Color - tops.

Amend? Hmm. Probably no need unless you want to do some tweeks. We will be running borders at 10px so you could see if a slightly fatter version still works...

iLLuSiOnZ
You are a colormeister! It seems to have worked well on the proportions as well. I love that relief

Zen
THAT is pretty neat. You are nailing those letters and the touch ups really add to a really phat and shaping logo.
