Hi, pracus
Just saw your posting - delay in auto notification process.
Thanks for your design. Am contacting the folks who have primary control of the project, and will forward their feedback ASAP.
Eddiy :blush:

Hi eddiy,

[eddiy]

Welcome, guetizo -
Just been in contact with the others:
Very pleasing, clean design. Like the light-hearted nature of your logo.
But we need to have a more obvious 'flowers, vines, symbols illustrating aromas' presence as noted in our assessment.

You are on the right track.
Thanks,
Eddiy :)

[eddiy]

Sorry for the delay, pracus -
Your design is positively elegant, but not readily apparent (for our customer base) how the symbol relates to the product name.
Font and colors are fine, but could you please make the music and perfume-aroma symbolism more concrete.

I know this is still a bit vague, but since there is nothing we have found in the marketplace to give us a graphic idea for our product, we rely on designers like you.

Thank you,
Eddiy :)

Hello. Here is a proposal:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y185/nemagazine/lyricalfragrance.png

[eddiy]

Hi, xpressions
Really good ideas - you've got both elements we wanted.

Now for our wish list of 'adjustments' to see "how would this look if..."
1- Music staff and stems on notes need to be thinner -they overpower the product name.
2- Extend length of music staff to incorporate more undulation,less flatness. We realize this will probably move the note placement.
3- Would like 5 flowers in total on the staff (placement & color as needed for balance).
4- Can you show us how the staff and vertical lines on the notes would appear in a SOLID deeper purple shade of the text color, and
5- THEN make the flower colors halftone instead of solid
6- Font is pleasing except for some spacing issues:
Can you manipulate it so that the 'y' in Lyrical is centered (away from the 'L' toward the 'r' -
In Fragrance, can you move the 'r' away from the 'F' since the mid-cross of the 'F' makes it confusing to read the word at first glance?

I think that covers everything we've talked over... Plenty of feedback, but if something is way off when you implement it, use your design judgment.

The night owls are signing off for now.
Thanks for your offering, xpressions -
Eddiy :zzz:

Another idea for l and f.

[eddiy]

Hey Everyone !
Thanks for your bounty of ideas. Just acknowledging them - will have to get the rest of the team's input.

djaka and blesseville: I know that the team will request a 'nature' symbolism incorporated into your design. Need an obvious representation for the aroma-fragrance aspect of the product.

All of you have chosen flowing, readable script fonts- a good job.

What a great way to start the day.
Thanks to all of you,
Eddiy

[xpressions]

Thank you. Will provide updates soon.

[Blesseville]

Updates.

Variation on the design with different type.

[splunking]

Hello there,
Here is my initial idea. I look forward to your comments.
Thanks!
- Cindy :D

[eddiy]

Welcome to the newest designers!
Want to let everyone know that I appreciate the minor additions that I knew I could ask you to do, and the designs will be viewed by others in the group later tonight.

Splunking your design is interesting, but a 2 color logo of lavender and light green is what the client wants to incorporate. Can you manage to do a quick fix for us to see?

OffbeatDesign, lookin' good.
You folks are making some hard decisions for us.

We are pleased that so many of you are interested in working with us,
Merci, will reconnect soon, I hope -
Eddiy

[splunking]

In color :D

[splunking]

And another :D

[eddiy]

Hi, Cindy -
Thanks for your prompt alteration/addition.

Have another request:
I know the RGB vs PMS issue for colors, but in the case of your fine-line details, could you intensify the colors a bit so we can evaluate the over-all effect of your logos?

Regards,
Eddiy:blush:

[xpressions]

Revised version. Hope I got all the requests:

[eddiy]

Hiya, xpressions -
You hit every wish on our list. Great work...
And Hello,Taldo -
Thank you for joining the parade.

We are still missing 2 important 'votes' from our group so that a decision can be finalized. It's been truly amazing what your design team has brought to us with such little initial direction from us.

Thanks,
Eddiy :D

v1 simple, brandable icon: flower made of back to back music notes.

[eddiy]

Hi, Jenny -
Thanks for posting to our project. I'm the only 'eyes-on' today since the other folks are all on the road.

Sweet idea with the notes morphing into hearts.

We'll be in touch with Outpost soon, I hope.

Glad you peeked in and sent a proposal,
Eddiy :yes:

[xpressions]

[eddiy]

Hi there xpressions,

I really like this (I'm only one voice) better than the staff idea that we put you to sooo much trouble with alterations.
As I mentioned to the previous designer, all other members are traveling, and we will contact all of you as soon as possible.

Really delighted with the re-working of your original idea,
Eddiy :D

[eddiy]

Greetings, Blesseville -

Team is asking if there may be other casual script fonts that would be compatible with your graphic symbol in version 4.0 - Can you provide one or two options?
Also, can you change the green in 4.0 to a brighter (less yellow and more blue tone) perhaps something in the way of PMS 375?

Thank you,
Eddiy :)

[Blesseville]

Sure :)

http://www.blesseville.com/do/lf5.jpg

[eddiy]

Thanks Blesseville -

Will make sure the team looks at these later today.
Appreciate your additional script choices, and that you included smaller sizes of the color options.

Regards,
Eddiy :yes:

[eddiy]

Hi, Kaimere -
Got a glimpse of your post to our project early Fri AM before I had to leave quickly.
When I'd contacted the rest of the group, they said 'What new designer?' Went back to look, and it was gone... Also had a weird message concerning an admin issue, so I sent them an email and no answer yet.

Sorry I have no feedback for you AND have no idea what the problem was/is !

Regards,
Eddiy :blush:

[kaimere]

My effort

[eddiy]

Kaimere,
Thank you for your 'effort' again ! Your design is very different, unique, from what we've been pondering.

Will contact the rest of the group for their feedback, and let you know the team's thoughts.

Thanks for re-posting to our project,
Eddiy :D

[kaimere]

Thank you , lines of thought are an abstract L and F although i can fortify the F more ... The L is more the grace of a note and the F (Fragrance) is enhanced byt the Flower

[eddiy]

Hi, Kaimere-
Hate to inject my own thoughts w/o input from the group, but I think the ephemeral nature of the L may be lost on our target audience. (for me, it reminded me of the stroke of a conductor's baton.)

The merging of colors is unique, and I know that the main folks desire a brighter green (w/o quite so much yellow). Yes, we are aware of the RGB vs PMS color issues, but still want to see how more vibrant colors would appear. And I am certain that the 2-color idea is what they desire because of the nature of the primary product represented in this single logo.

Just some thoughts,
Eddiy :yes:

[kaimere]

Changed the green and purple hopefully vivid enough

[eddiy]

Good colors, Kaimere -
Will send these on to the whole group.

Thank you,
Eddiy :)

[eddiy]

Hello, pickalogo -
We appreciate your contributions to our project.

In our original request, you will see that we require some musical representation for this logo. And the name is Lyrical Fragrance - you have mistakenly put an L instead of an R as the 2nd letter in Fragrance.

Your colors in version 1 are more true to what we desire.

Thanks,
Eddiy :)

[shnickerdoodle studios]

One from me..
Thanks Deanna

[eddiy]

Hi, Deanna -

Glad you decided to participate in our logo project. Appreciate your design, and will get any feedback from the main group later tonight.
Be back in touch as soon as we can.

Thanks,
Eddiy :)

[tini1]

Hello:)

[eddiy]

Welcome, tini1-

Thanks for looking in on our design project.

Although I have no final say for this project, I can re-iterate 2 objectives of this logo: 1) client wants to stick to only 2 colors, lavender and lt green. You color choices are fine, just 1 too many.
And 2) the nature of this product needs the green to be more involved in this logo than the lavender.

Seems top-heavy because of the flower - An idea: could you begin the music design at the left UNDER the 'rical', so that it fills the space between the 2 'tails' in the script font. That way, your idea of the flow of the music still ends up on a high curve (which is a good vibration).

Just some tips for your consideration,
Thanks,
Eddiy :)

[pickalogo]

thanks for the feedback.
sorry about the typo error.
here's a more musical version

leafs, butterflies, flowers and subtile music:

[tini1]

Hello Eddiy,
Thanks for feedback...here is a revision:)
Thanks:)

[eddiy]

Hello, pickalogo and tini1 -

Both of you have included all the elements as outlined for this logo.
I will pass these along to the rest of the team.

Apologize for the delay in this response, but I received no email telling me that either of your submissions to this thread had arrived.

Thanks to both of you,
Eddiy :D

[guetizo]

Hi eddiy,

My second pass.

http://origin-all-design.com/lyrical/originall_lyrical2.png

[eddiy]

Hi again, guetizo -

We had not forgotten you, glad to see your new design. Nice and clean design, good colors with both music and flower elements clear for our target consumers to understand.

Please correct the spelling of 'Fragrance' before I put it out for the group's review.

Thank you,
Eddiy :)

[splunking]

Here it is in bolder colors. Thanks - Cindy :D

[eddiy]

Thank you, Cindy -
We appreciate your interest by adding another option for us to view.

The group will be meeting together tomorrow to go over all the logo entries.


Regards,
Eddiy :yes:

[guetizo]

Hi eddiy,

Please correct the spelling of 'Fragrance' before I put it out for the group's review.
Thank you,
Eddiy :)Thanks for the quick feedback.

Correction done! :)

http://origin-all-design.com/lyrical/originall_lyrical2a.png

[eddiy]

Thank you, guetizo -
Your version 2a will go into consideration along with all the design entries.

Regards,
Eddiy :)

[kaimere]

hi

[eddiy]

Hi, Kaimere -

I would only agree with 'heavier' in the context of your earlier postings to our project. This new offering, I feel, is still representative of all the elements we want our logo to convey.

Still working to get 'all eyes' to view the many offerings from this resourceful design team.

Thanks again,
Eddiy :D

[eddiy]

Greetings and 'Mayday' to all Design Team magicians:

After many discussions, we need more artistic input from any and all willing designers for additional ideas.

Our client with the most invested in this concept, wishes to see a logo that is 'simple and elegant', 'uncluttered'. We think that is going to be a challenge in order to maintain the intended representations for the buying public - the music and aroma connotations.

The client seems to favor a flowing horizontal look over all when pointing out certain logos that he favored:
In message #15 (medigraph 2.0), he would like to see a definite rose as the flower aspect in that design (or any others).
In message #22 (splunking 2A), the simplicity is very good, but we pointed out that the music aspect is lost on the untrained eye. Some obvious musical suggestion needs to be added while trying to keep the original clean look of this offering (if this can be done,Cindy).

Run with it, guys - I cannot offer much else in specific feedback.

Thanks a bunch,
Eddiy :wizard:

[eddiy]

P.S. to Medigraph:

Even though you expanded your designs in 5.0 (message #32), and they follow the prefered horizontal look, the graphic art slants backward
in opposition to the right-hand slant in all the fonts. Also, I'll mention again that the client wants the flower to resemble a rose.

Eddiy :)

[Blesseville]

I used a non-slanted font, I hope this works.

http://www.blesseville.com/do/lf6.jpg

[eddiy]

Hey, there -
Will pass this along, Medigraph, and see what the viewers think.

Thanks,
Eddiy :)

[eddiy]

Hello, All Designers

We would like to express our admiration for all the tremendous ideas
you've presented to our team. And we are especially grateful for your patience with the long pauses in our response to you --Natural disasters have affected several of our group and communication has been greatly restricted.

We are pleased to announce our choice of a winner for the Lyrical
Fragrance logo. We select Blesseville/Medigraph design Version 3.0 .

It has been a great experience working with all of you.
Thank you.

Eddiy :yes:

[Blesseville]

Thank you Eddiy, I will prepare you a final logo package as soon as possible and post you a link to download the files.

[eddiy]

Hi, there, Blesseville-

No rush. There are some adjustments to be made -- I did not receive notice of your message #64 -- Just happened to come and look here.

I will be in touch with you AFTER this project gets transfered to the Revisions Forum.

Hope it gets moved over there soon.

Thanks,
Eddiy :)

[Blesseville]

OK, I will be waiting for your revision requests :)

[abby]

Project Update: This project has been moved to the Revisions Forum.

[eddiy]

Hi, again -

Not anything too drastic -- We'd like to see how the 'rose' from version 6.0 would look next to the clef in version 3.0. Our clients really prefer that the flower represent a rose.

Thanks,
Eddiy :)

[Blesseville]

:)

http://www.blesseville.com/do/lf7.jpg

[Blesseville]

Do you need any other revisions? Please let me know.

[Blesseville]

Upon request via Private Message, a revised version of the final file (including the combined version and text-icon seperated versions) is ready. I have sent you a private message to download the necessary files.

Thank you :)

[eddiy]

Thank you, Blesseville.

I will see that these files get to the appropriate person and get final approval from the client.

Eddiy :)

[BlueCherryGraphics]

PROJECT UPDATE: This thread has been moved to Logo Project Archives.

Eileen, the thread is still open for posting should you need to do so and/or you can of course contact Cem directly via private message.

Thanks! :)

[eddiy]

Greetings, Blesseville ~

Wanted to tell you that all your logo design files have been approved by those involved with this project.

It has been my personal pleasure to work with you, Cem. You have been patient, gracious, tolerant, talented ... as well as a great teacher and good soul.

Hope our paths cross again.

Best regards from a grateful client/student,
Eddiy / e :smart:

[Blesseville]

Thank you, Eddiy :) It was a pleasure for me, too.
