Hello,
Here's my first try

[rtrujill]

Great Start!

ThatOneGuy: I really like the concept. Couple of things to start. 1) The door would have to be in Red and more pronounced. 2) The peak...maybe make more like a mountain range (couple of peaks)...since Albuquerque sits at the base of a mountain range.

RedLizard: I like this concept also. Not crazy about the background color or the font of "Red Door Homes Inc."

[Senter]

A red door in a mountain range like you asked me for.

any comments are appreciated
thank you
:)

[rtrujill]

I like these designs so far.

Could someone make a design similar to what is attached? Instead of the area being open where the bell is, it would be just solid. Can that be done? Oh yeah...and the door would be red! :yes:

Sorry for the quality of the image. It was scanned off of an old magazine.

ThatOneGuy: I really like version 3...can you add the red outline to the 2 peaks like you had on version 1.

Medigraph: Wow...that looks great! Can you add a Ristra to the left side of the door? A Ristra is a grouping of dried red chile pods.

Here are a couple of pics of what a Ristra is.

thank you for the feedback
this is another one
:)

MEDIGRAPH

1)Can you resize the ristra to about 3/4 of its current size.

2)Can you place the text "Red Door" in line with the outer edges of the graphic. And place the text "Homes" on the Next line with "inc." small like Vertlime has it in that logo.
Colors for text are in the following example
Example
RedDoor
H o m e s inc. (small and sideways like Vertlime)

3) Please remove the bottom window/cross design in the door leaving only the upper design.

RedLizard
Wow...I really like that! Couple of updates to request.

1) Can you place a Ristra like Medigraph (version 2.1)has in his logo? On the right side of the door would be great.

2) Remove *Quality*Reliability*Value*Style*

3) Can you make the door look like it was made out of wood slats like... http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=58129

[Blesseville]

Thank you for the feedback. Here's the revision. However as it is not possible for us to use a similar style with reference to another designer's work, I used a different layout for the text.

Hi Mediagraph, there is no problem with using the same style if this is what the client would like to see.

Kind regards,
Caroline

[Blesseville]

Well, then:

[rtrujill]

Medigraph...sorry about the reference to another designer. I was unaware. That looks awesome!

Vertlime...You are awesome!

[rtrujill]

djaka - I really like this design. Couple of things.
1) Can you remove the rainbow and blue background?
2) Use more of a Classic Font with only the text "Red" in red and the rest of the text in black.
3) Add a window design to the door. Like this... http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=58129

[djaka]

Thank you for your feedback,
this is the revision
:)

[tini1]

here is a slight variation:)

[RedLizard]

Here is the revision

[rtrujill]

Hi Guys/Gals,

Thank you all very much for all your hard work. After much head-scratching we have decided to go with Medigraph's version 2.3 design.

Once again, thank you to eveyone who entered.

Medigraph -
Couple of slight changes we would like to see.
1) Please make "RED DOOR" in upper and Lower Case such as "Red Door".
2) Can you stretch Homes out so that it ends right next to the "inc"?
3) Can you make the door look like it is slightly open?

[Blesseville]

Thank you for choosing my design. I'll make the revisions ASAP.

[Blesseville]

Here it is :)

http://www.medigraph.net/do/rdh2-4.jpg

[rtrujill]

I thought I would like the font better that way but I do not. Let's try the following.

Back to all caps but make the "R" in red and the "D" in door larger than the rest of the font kind of like;

REDDOOR

Also - Can you add a period to the "inc"?

[Blesseville]

:)

http://www.medigraph.net/do/rdh2-5.jpg

[rtrujill]

Sorry for the changes. We are just trying to get the font a little to more to our liking. Lets try two versions and see what we like.

Version 1) Can you make the "ed" and "oor" a little smaller but still in all caps.

Version 2) Can you change just the "oor" to lower case.

Thanks!

[Blesseville]

Definitely no problem :)

[Blesseville]

(Yet I liked the above one -2.6- better)

http://www.medigraph.net/do/rdh2-7.jpg

[rtrujill]

Medigraph

Almost done. We like 2.6 but can you please bold HOMES for us. thank you!

[Blesseville]

Sure :)

http://www.medigraph.net/do/rdh2-8.jpg

[rtrujill]

Medigraph - That is it! Just perfect. Thanks for putting up with us and the work you put in.
