Hi there - we really like your submission - love the icon!

Could we try a couple of things please - can you try a slightly chunkier font and can you include some Gold into your design. Suggestions are some gold within the icon (leaving the outer rim still the same blue) and within the IQ, again leaving the outer rim blue.

Thank you so much - look forward to seeing your response!

Jenny

GuidesIQ Feedback
Hi there - thanks for your response. The images are a little overwhelming to me - the heaviness of the font and the lines both, although I do like IQ in a different font. Is there something softer you could do using the blue and gold?
Thanks!
Jenny

Here's the feedback I got via private message.

Jenny, I'll try something new for you soon.

Hi All - here's our further feedback:

Michael & Djaka - hoping to hear back from you with another version as per my feedback.

DaveGK - we like your latest version - icon to the side - however we do need the word "Guides" to be in Title case not Caps.

Ruairi - your latest version is great - please could you show me what it would look like with the IQ in solid gold without the blue rim.

Eziey - we like your idea a lot - however it's missing the tagline - The Intelligent Approach to the AMA Guides.

Booglins - we don't particularly like the word "Guides" wrapped in a case like that - prefer the simple text. The "IQ" part also seems disproportionate to the rest.

Asparagus & Senter - please post your promised submissions soon!

Thanks Everyone for all your hard work.

Jenny

Everyone - thank you all for your submissions - we are most appreciative.

On this occasion, we have chosen Eziey's design - I look forward to corresponding with you further.

Jenny

[eziey]

thank you for choosing my design:)is there any revision you need before i finalize?

[jenwalker]

Hi there - yes, there are two very small alterations, both on the tagline. Please could you increase the size, just slightly, so that the "s" of "Guides" reaches almost to the far right edge of the "Q". Secondly, we are wondering if it would be more distinctive in black or at least a very dark blue. Would it be possible for you to show us two final versions - so that we make a decision today - with the bigger tagline in both, one in black and one in dark blue.

Thanks again!

[eziey]

here are the revisions :)

[jenwalker]

Thanks! On the second - black - one, you misunderstood me slightly - sorry - only wanted the tagline - "The Intelligent Approach to the AMA Guides" - to change color. We want "GuidesIQ" to remain in the blue PMS280.

Please could you redo the second one with GuidesIQ in PMS280 and The Intelligent Approach etc. in black.

Thanks Eziey! :D

[jenwalker]

Hi Eziey - thanks for the last post - however, I think we'll go back to the original tagline size as in message # 20 as it looks more balanced. However - please could you make the tagline bold as it just needs to stand out a little more. Let's stay with the PMS280 color (obviously with the PMS103 gold too :) )

As you're in Malaysia and sleeping when I'm writing, please would you go ahead and send me the link so I can use the logo ASAP.

Thanks for all your help.
