Titania,

Thank you so much for quickly posting a design. I really like the concept and it captures the girls love for pets which is the image I want to portray along with the pets loving and excited to be with the pet sitter.

I like the paw print above the I in Lisa.

I would rather have my color scheme blue & red. I am not too crazy about orange.

Also there may be too many animals in the arms. It looks crowed and I am not wild about the black cat as it looks as if it is trying to escape. The pets get lost in the black and white version and unless you really look it is hard to tell they are cats & dogs.

Maybe something a little simpler and not so busy.

Thank You.

[Titania]

I'll work on your request and will post again asap! :yes:
question: would you like me to work on this image? or you want something in the line, but different? :blush:

[lmtert]

Titania,

Thank you for responding. You may work on the existing design or submit a new one. I would like to review a few designs.

Thanks again for posting so quickly and giving time for revisions.

Lisa

[lmtert]

I am am anxious to have this project completed by 9/8 and am wondering if there is something else needed from me. There hasn't been much response to this request. Is anyone interested in this project?

Thank you,
Lisa

[nvoke]

i'll try to get something done either today or tomorrow :)

[lmtert]

Thank you Nvoke. I look forward to someone responding with a design. I reviewed some of the work the desingers have done for other pet related business and thought they were great.

I have to say I am very disappointed that there has only been one design posted. There have been no revisions to that design in 6 days. I am beginning to wonder if anyone is interested in this project.

The deadline is 9/8 as I really wanted this for an ad I am placing in a pet magazine.

Thank you,
Lisa

One from me...
Thanks,
Deanna

[Titania]

I'm really sorry you feel that way, I'll post the revisions on my design asap. and I'll try to post another design. i know I'm taking time, but I'll post before the deadline. :blush:

[lmtert]

Deanna & Titania,

Thank you for responding.

Titania - I look forward to your revision & additional designs. I know you must be very busy and I appologize if I sound impatient. I am just looking forward to a few designs to choose from by the deadline which is Sat. only 2 days away.

Deanna - could you please show petsitting as pet sitting? This should be 2 words. Also, could you use a darker blue, more like a navy? Would it also be possible to make the loop in the leash a little bigger? I really like the idea. Is there anyway to add a cat & small bird either by the letters or on the letters?

Thank you,
Lisa

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Here is a revision from me...
Thanks,
Deanna

[shnickerdoodle studios]

another...
Thanks,
Deanna

[Titania]

here are 2 new revised versions of my first design... :D
as requested, less animals, blue and red... :yes:

[Titania]

another one with only 2 colors used...
working on the new concept. i'll post asap!!! :yes:

[lmtert]

I would like to thank Titania & Deanna for submiiting their designs. You both did a great job.

I am going to look them over to see which best portrays my company image and will have a decision by Monday.

Thank you so much.
Lisa

[nvoke]

sorry i'm a bit later than i had said...but here you go! enjoy!
:)

[Titania]

i'll post my second concept in a couple of minutes... :yes:

[Titania]

:)

[lmtert]

Thank you everyone for your designs. You all did a terrific job. I am still deciding which best portrays my image and would like to extend the deadline to 9/14.

Deanna - would you please make Lisa's in blue and pet sitting in red? Also, I like the leash in version 1 better. The leash in version 2 looks more like a whip. I just wanted the loop a little bigger but that might not be possible.

Titania - I love the concept in both of your designs as it really captures the love for pets. Both designs might just be a little too busy for a logo. I like the girl in version 1 & 2. Maybe not as much hair and a lighter shade like yellow. I really don't care for the dog chasing the ball in the womans arms. In version 4, I love the cat, the birds look more like baby chicks and not really a pet and the dog is not quite right. I do love that he is holding out his paw to the woman.

Nvoke - I thought this design looked very professional and I loved the fonts. Would you please make the Lisa's a darker blue and pet sitting a bolder red? The animals are very cute but they are too light and don't really stand out. Can you please brighten them up a bit. I love the leash as the S, but it kind of resembles a snake, is there anyway to change this a little? Can you place the bird on the beginning of the L and maybe the cat laying inside the bottom of the L?

Thank you all, I am very pleased with all of the designs.

Revision 2...

Thanks, Deanna

[lmtert]

I would like to thank all the designers who submitted their logo designs. You all did a terrific job and I was really impressed.

Deanna we choose your logo version #4. I really liked the simplicity and the fact that you were quick to respond to any revision requests. I would like to make some revisions to this version.

Thank you,
Lisa

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Hello Lisa,

Thanks for choosing my design. What revisions do you need? I will get on them right away. Thanks, Deanna

[lmtert]

Hi Deanna,

Some things I would like to see are:

Please change pet sitting to blue - I would like to see Lisa's pet sitting all in blue. Also cap the "p" & "s" and make pet sitting font a little smaller than Lisa's.

Change the animals to red.

Use the leash in version one - this one looks more like a whip.

If you change the fonts somewhat - is there a way to put a little fish bowl & fish in the "g" in pet sitting? The bottom of the "g" should hold the fish bowl.

Make the little bird a very pale yellow.

Is it possible to see this with a different type of dog? I am not sure if I like the spotted dog. I don't care for the dog in your version 5 though. Maybe a more scruffy type of dog or lab type dog.

Thank You for your patience.

Lisa

Here is a revision for you to review...

Thanks! :)

[lmtert]

Thank you Deanna,

Will you make the paw print a little smaller?

Also, I am not sure about the birds colors, it just isn't quite right. Let's try all red or red and blue or a paler yellow with blue or red blue or red.

Will you please make the fish a bit bigger in the bowl? I like how it looks in the "g"

I really like the change in the dog.

Thank you so much for your quick responses to the changes requested.

Deanna,

Thank you for changing the dog, however I did not want the leash changed. Will you please make the leash as in version 4d? I do not like the whip version of the leash.

Thank you,
Lisa

[shnickerdoodle studios]

Deanna
