Back to the top with this one.

[pracus]

Hi!

I just want to calm you down and inform that we are working on it. I believe that several other designers are working on it too so. Just give us some time because the creative process needs time :)
No need to bump it :)

[dunnslawnservice]

Here are pictures of our uniform colors if it helps we also have the opposite colors as well with the shirts being tan and the pants/shorts being green.

[djaka]

my initial submission
any comments are appreciated
thank you
:)

[dunnslawnservice]

thank you for your submission djaka, we do like it and we prefer the second design on the post. we like the circle perimiter around the design but we would like a little more detail on the inside. with the trees in the N's we prefer the skinnier one. and if there is a way you could try to incorporate the type of lettering that we use that is shown in the pictures that we posted, sorry but we do not know the name. I'm sorry, I know that is a lot of stuff and I apologize for the inconvenience, hope to see more soon and again thank you, also we would like to see some without the circle.

[dunnslawnservice]

:devil: ^^ ^^ ^^ HAPPY HALLOWEEN ^^ ^^ ^^ :devil:

[dunnslawnservice]

Here is one of our competitor's logo. We will post more competitors logo's as we get them.

[dunnslawnservice]

Here is another competitors logo!

[dunnslawnservice]

Still Here

[dunnslawnservice]

We are sorry for the troubles. We were just informed that we have not given enough feedback to our ONE design. So we will try again Djaka thank you again for taking your time to post a design! We do like the second design, but feel the design doesn't come out well when in the other two formats posted. We would like to see something that has our name with a design incorporated as is done in the MUNIE logo we posted but not the same design. Trees, blades of grass, bushes, seem too work well in the type of logo's we have seen, but we are open to designs with commercial mowers, hillsides, sun, clouds, birds. Any thing you all think when you see the logo. That looks like a very professional,but friendly company. We are sorry we dont have alot of design ideas. That is why we came here. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks

[dunnslawnservice]

Her is another design we drew but we would like to see all design we are not artists as you can see.

[dunnslawnservice]

Her is our website if it helps with the design process http://www.dunnslawnservice.com

[freetime]

Don't worry that there is just one design. It's still early! Some of us work and think better under the pressure of last minute. Not that it's ok to wait until the last hour :)! I'm sure there will be more!

[dunnslawnservice]

Thank you freetime Did you get a chance to look at our website? If so did it help with any ideas a little. Thank you again for replying. We thought we wheren't getting any replies because we were trying to be nice. We have noticed that the clients have been getting more ideas by the more rude and ignorant they are. We where contemplating on changing our stategy on how to deal with the designers on here.

[freetime]

No, not yet. Some designers seem to disappear and reappear, just depends on everyones job and business schedule. The rude way doesn't seem to fly to well. One client pretty much lost everyone working on his idea because of his attitude. Ouch!

[dunnslawnservice]

Two days left

[Blesseville]

I'll come up with something tonight. By the way, the deadline on the title is 20th, is it?

[freetime]

2 days? The listing shows it's due Nov. 20th

[dunnslawnservice]

We know the moderators have changed it on us like twelve times. when we posted it said the 10th. it still says the 10th on message #1

[Senter]

I'm back. Ill have something tonight.

[abby]

Hi Kristen,
The Mods do not change the deadlines. I am the only one that updates the deadlines and in your project title it has always had Nov 20th. You can only change the title in your first message. I asked you Monday in my reply email to you if moving it up to the 13th was ok but you didn't reply back. I advise to keep working until the deadline. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns at a.robinson@designoutpost.com . Thank you

Thank you for your post shnickerdoodle studios, we do like the feel of this design. nice imagery but not too active. we do have a suggestion, we would like to see the "appostraphy" leaf in an oval type shape leaf we think that on letterhead or other items with plain graphics (i.e - business cards, screen printing) it may resemble a marijuana leaf, like say from a Pear Shape Tree and we like the tree but could we see different variations of other trees in the same position. we look forward to seeing the revisions, all in all a great design.

[dunnslawnservice]

We are sorry, the deadline is not the 10th, it is the 13th as we were told to stick with it.

[abby]

Project Update: The project deadline has been pushed up to Nov 13th. (no other changes will be made to the deadline)

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Revision 1

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Revision 2

[Blesseville]

OK, here it is.

[djaka]

thank you for the feedback.
I am trying to find similar font as requested, but didn't find that yet.
Sometimes designers got ideas but can not find the best way to materialize the idea into good design.
so I just give some times, to rethink the design.
:D

djaka

[dunnslawnservice]

shnickerdoodle studios, thank you for your revisions, we like the idea of the floating leaves above the N's, if there is a way you could use the tree from VERSION_1, but make the tree a bit fuller. VERSION_3 is cute, but a little too cartoonish.

Medigraph, thank you very much for your post! we like how you kind of incorporated something that resembled our font that is showed in our photos, but it is a little too cartoonish.

djaka, thank you for your revision, we really do like the leaf that you have chosen. we like the idea of putting the art inside of the lettering but we think that it might make it kind of hard to see for our customers (most of them are elders so their sight isn't as sharp).

Keep them coming, these were great! So far we like the type of feel of VERSION_1 of shnickerdoodle's. So maybe try something along those lines, not the same design, but the type of feel of that design style. Thanks Again!

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Here is the revision..

Thanks,
Deanna

[dunnslawnservice]

Thanks shnickerdoodle, We really like this design. We would like to see how it looks on a business card layout, and on the side of a truck on the door. We black trucks and also pine green trucks like our color uniforms, but we would really like to see it on a back truck. I don't know if it is possible to see what it would look like on uniforms,if so that would be great. Maybe on the right chest of a tan polo shirt, and screenprinted look on the back of a green t-shirt like in our earlier post. Sorry for all requests. We are going to run this design by our employee's and colleagues to get their oppinion. We are going to let the project run until the deadline, but so far your design is what we are looking for.

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Do you have a picture of your truck? And if not what kind of truck is it?

Thanks,
Deanna

[dunnslawnservice]

There is a picture of the black dodge ram on our website under advertising the black truck is the one we would like to see as the grey one is pine green now. Don't have a picture of the other truck.I will try and find some more pics of the 97 dodge ram

[dunnslawnservice]

Here is another picture of the 97 Dodge

[dunnslawnservice]

shnickerdoodle, we LOVE it! as of now, we have chosen you as our designer. we will leave our post up though until 1:00pm (Central Standard Time) on Friday, November 10, 2006 to give the other designers time to give us their final revisions. after that time, if the moderator could please move this posting to the [Revisions] forum. thank you again!

[dunnslawnservice]

shnickerdoodle when you send the files could you send them in the different colors you have them shown in the picutres as well as black and white. Also we would like to see an all tan version to maybe on the back of the green t-shirt. also could you put on the picture of our truck. Our phone number in the type of font you are currently using sowhere either on the front fender, the window or rear fender we are unsure where it would look best. we will send you a PM with our E-mail address our you can look at our website for the address to send the files to.

[shnickerdoodle studios]

in tan...

[shnickerdoodle studios]

with phone number...

[dunnslawnservice]

could you make the tan the color of the polo shirt. Also lets see When You Need it DUNN Right!!
Under the logo on the shirts with the number below that thanks again. And I think we are running out ideas so we won't be bugging you much more.

[shnickerdoodle studios]

New Tan

[shnickerdoodle studios]

with phone number and tag line

[dunnslawnservice]

Thats look great when you send the file could you send it withWhen You Need it DUNN Right!! minus the phone number versions and the ones with just the logo and dunn's lawn service.

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Of course. So is this closed now and you are declaring me the winner?

Thanks,
Deanna

[dunnslawnservice]

Yes shnickerdoodle you are the winner as of 22 minutes ago. Sorry we where going to declare you the winner yesterday. But the moderators inform us to give the other designers who where working on this project 24 hours to finish their designs. Which we felt was only fair. Thank You all who entered designs we really appreciate it! Congradulations shnickerdoodle.
