so far so good

JMan, I like what you're getting at. I like the feathered headdress approach however it's too prominent, looks as if the headdress is swallowing up the letters D and F. The lettering reminds me more of the Japanese than South American Indian theme (Mayan, Aztec, Inca etc..I still want you to go with the lettering theme just a little more subtle on the edges. I like the color scheme. Imagine this logo visible as an advertisement, on a website, and t-shirt. How should it look in your eyes? Great job so far!

J-Man, how would the M and the W look as Eagle Talons? Can I also see it in black and white on a shirt? Can yoiu arch the lettering and also show me the lettering bending to the contours of the collar?

i will try and get in an entry later today :D

 

[Doomsday]

I scaled the headdress down and softened the edges of the text just a bit...

I'll also try to post a revision with a font that has more of an 'aztec' feel to it.

J-Man, to me the font is too close to Japanese Anime. Can you try again with the south american indian warrior/2012 end of world theme? thanks!

K thx for the feedback I'll submit some revisions later this week

PS - I realize you were looking for red - but I felt this had a more "eyecatching" appeal!

Tyson, I like what you're going for. Can I also see it in black and white on a t-shirt? Can you arch the lettering and also show me the lettering bending to the contours of the collar? For some reason I have this image of an Aztec or Mayan chieftain skull in full headdress. Not sure how we can incorporate that in a background or logo. I'll then followup with some more feedback.

Doomsday,
You mentioned that you had an Aztec or Mayan chieftain skull in full headdress pictured in your mind to be in the logo...

I have a feeling that to get something that detailed, you will be looking to spend more than $35.00
---- There would be an extensive amount of work in getting something like that drawn to be "vector".

None-the-less, here is my attempt at the t-shirt:

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure what happened to Doomsday. There isn't much time left in the contest and he seems to have abandoned the thread for the last few days.

If I don't hear from him personally and he doesn't reply sometime soon, I'll just declare a winner tonight at around midnight eastern time.

Thanks,
OH

Since we haven't heard anything from Doomsday, I will just go ahead and declare tysonjb as the winner of this contest.

J-MAN, thanks for entering as well. I'm sorry about the unusual lack of participation. Hopefully everything is okay with Doomsday (we're friends in real life and I haven't spoken to him in a few days either).

Tyson, please PM me with your PayPal email address and we'll hook up for the exchange sometime tomorrow.

Thanks again everyone,
Our House
