This is a great start. I love the lettering in the title. I'd like the monkey to be a little chubbier, but I love the pose.

I've updated the description but I'll call it out here too:

Let's lose the quotes, and make the monkey a little more monkey ish :) I'm not sure it's obvious that it's a monkey without the text next to it

This is really neat, if I could see more of the monkey's body, that would be great.

Thanks, Titania, I really like this effort. A couple thoughts. I love the lettering, could we make each word separate, so wise little monkey instead of what looks like wiselittle monkey currently.

If we could get the monkey into a more "thoughtful" or "wise" pose, that would be great. Perhaps like "The Thinker" statue, etc. I'll let you decide on that.

Also, it looks more like an orangutan which I believe is an ape, and technically not a monkey. Apes generally don't have tails but almost all monkeys do. I don't think that is a deal breaker, the terms are often used together, even though they are different. I love the image, so it's hard to tell you to change it ;-)

Thanks again, really impressed with everyone's submissions so far. Keep them coming!

Titania, I like the pose, not a big fan of this color scheme. Maybe another variation on colors would work.

eziey, this is great, simple and bold. I think it needs something to make it just a little more obviously a monkey, maybe a subtle ear or nose, but I think this is a fantastic start.

eziey, that's fantastic. Definitely the front runner right now

i changed the background, let me know if you'd like to see all the colors changed... :yes:
i thought you wanted a more realistic draw... i'll prepare something bolder for you and will post asap! :D

Titania, this is definitely a step in the right direction. I think he looks a little too silly, and not "wise" enough. He can definitely have a cheeky feel, but I don't want the monkey too look goofy. Thanks for the great effort!

Titania

i'll try to change it to make him look wiser... :yes:

I like the concept, but I feel he comes off as "old" when we were imagining more of a younger monkey, wise beyond their years.

Shnickerdoodle, I like the young version much better.

Sweetie, cute design, a little too feminine for our products.

Fabian, I really like this fresh take on it. Something less corporate, geeky would be great!

Once again, all the submissions have been great, we should be making our decision right on schedule.

Titania
06-25-2007, 06:06 PM
less goofy... :D

Titania, I like this a lot more. Could we isolate his head or give him a whole body. I want him to be able to be separated from the text sometimes.

Titania
06-25-2007, 06:28 PM
sure, i'll prepare it and will post asap! :yes:
