Hi Castell.


Version #1: Try changing the black in "mosquito advice" to another workable color.

Play with the placement of shapes and clip art.

Version #2: It is "unique"... in a good way

Great first effort :)

[phazex]

Hopefully we'll get a good turnout for this logo.

[OffbeatDesign]

Thanks

[OffbeatDesign]

Version 2

[OffbeatDesign]

one more

[phazex]

Offbeat design: can you incorporate the tagline "We Have All The Answers" into versions #1 and #2.

[nhr]

Hello:

Thank you.

[OffbeatDesign]

Thanks

[OffbeatDesign]

Version 5

[phazex]

nhr: Can you change the placement of the icon, and use a different font for the main text "mosquito advice"

offbeatdesign: Version 4 looks good.
In version 5 can you scale down the log just for viewing purposes. In addition can you change the placement and text spacing of "advice" in

[OffbeatDesign]

Thanks

[phazex]

offbeatdesign: Version 6. Ok one more revision, but I'm not sure what I'm asking for is actually workable. Can you place "advice" to the right of "mosquito". Scale up the tagline a bit, and place it somewhere below the main text, centered, right, or left.

Not sure how exactly it'd look either, but I don't want it to be too long :eek:

[OffbeatDesign]

Sure thing

[nhr]

Thank you for the feedback :)

:)

[phazex]

offbeatdesign: version #7 looks good.
nhr: The new revisions look good. I think I'm leaning towards revision 1.2

[OffbeatDesign]

Thanks.

[phazex]

offbeatdesign: I do like that's a bit more compact than ver7, but I don't like the black inside 'O' in mosquito and the black used for the tagline.

[OffbeatDesign]

No problem

[phazex]

offbeatdesign: I think the reason why I liked ver7 so much was because the tagline wasn't spread about across the width of the logo.

[OffbeatDesign]

No problem

[phazex]

offbeat: Thank you. That's enough revisions for now.

All we do now is wait until the 15th to see if anymore designers will show up or not.

[djaka]

Professional, Clean, and inviting.
:)

[phazex]

djaka: I think using your current design placement will be problematic for what I'll be using it for. Check the placement used by other designers here. Thanks :)

[djaka]

thank you for the feedback
:)

[djaka]

another one
thank you
:)

[phazex]

djaka: I thank you for all your entries, but the style you have in the logo isn't what we're looking for. Thank you again.

[phazex]

Hi Taldo:

version 1: I don't like the gradient/two-tone flood fill thats used in the logo.

[Taldo]

:)

[phazex]

nhr: In version 1.1. Can you change the mosquito icon used there and maybe play with the warning/road sign that's in the background.

[phazex]

taldo: can I see your vision along the lines of nhr's mosquito logo (referring to the icon), but using your existing font and colors.

[Taldo]

I can't copy NHR's idea but here is a new logo representing "giving advice"... :)

[phazex]

Taldo: I understand. *Thumbs up * on the new design.

[phazex]

At this time, I am announcing NHR as my winning designer.

I thank all the designers for all their hard work, and believe me it was a hard choice deciding who would be my designer.

[nhr]

Thank you ver much for choosing my design :)
Please, tell me which design you choose and do you need some revision?

[phazex]

nhr: In version 1.1. Can you change the mosquito icon used there and maybe play with the warning/road sign that's in the background.

Those are the revisions that I needed, but I guess you were busy on other designs :).

Anyway, I like version 1.1, and yes I'll need some revisions.
Somehow, the way it looks like, I can sense a "butterfly" inside of the icon.

I saw your request, but you was faster :D

I hope I solve this problem:

Thank you again :)

[phazex]

NHR:
Can you size down the icon just a bit, a little little bit?

I know you can't personally tell me which of the 3 revisions to pick. However, I'm asking you personally which out of 1.12 and 1.13 would you choose? :)

Also can you space out "we have all the answers" slightly. ;)

[nhr]

As requested:

[nhr]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b92/nhrdesign/DOO/MosquitoAdvice1131_nhr.png

Thank you :)

Personally, I like 1.121 better, but this is only color diference between 1.121 and 1.131. Black/white version is same.

I can send you both if you want that :D

[phazex]

NHR. Thank, but one more thing and this will be the last revision. I am trying to not to have that little icon so big, so can you size it down a bit more? Like contract the size of the icon illustration icon by 5 to 7 pixels?

That's the only change I needed. After, I'll take revision 1.121. Thank you so much :)

[nhr]

No problem at all :)

Here are diferent size options:

Hi NHR. I think that'll do it. I'll take version 1.1211. Thank you again.
