Thank you so much for the reply.

I was starting to wonder if I didn't complete something correctly, or did something wrong :confused:

On the logo you displayed I wish the design was more integrated to the type. Also I am not a fan of the font used in the "Allison Reisz", it seems to rigid.

Thanks for the reply again :)

Due date extended to 12/22 at the request of client.

[nikonthree]

Shameless bump of my post :blush:

I guess I started my thread too close to the holidays. :(

[BlueCherryGraphics]

I'll submit soon.

[nikonthree]

Relevant- Thank you for this revision. I like the fonts used but I don't really care for the peach color. I think I would like a deeper saturated orange.

Also I am not to fond of the square, though the inverse of the "AR" is nice :)


BlueCherryGraphics- I am excited to see what you have in store... thanks for the response

Jennifer - thanks for the revisions..

I do wish they were sexier and more feminine though. The bulky "AR" lowercase is not working for me in these.

I do like the shadow effect in Version 3 though as well as how "Photography" fades to the background. the font of "Allison Reisz" is not what I had in mind though

BTW - The orange I think I would be looking for would be #ff7200 or #fd670c

The red I think i like would be #e90202

Sorry I hope I am making sense and am not too much trouble. :unsure:

Something I had in mind would be a combination of something like: http://www.mikecolon.com/ and http://www.cherylrichards.com/

[nikonthree]

Relevant - thank you for the new revisions..

In version 3 I like the A in "AR" but the R is a little weird to me.

Can you exaggerate the "AR" a bit more as well so I could see how that looks?

Thanks in advance :)

[nikonthree]

Here's a more exaggerated version. I'll try some new ideas as well.

Relevant - I am eager to see some of your other ideas as well. :)

All - Thank you so much for working with me on this guys/gals.. I do hope I an not too much trouble.

[nikonthree]

WOW!! thanks for the replies guys :)

Kekepania -- Thanks for joining

Taldo -- I like your thinking :yes:
Can I see the "A" in a couple colors like a deep red or blue? Can I also see a couple variations on that logo?

Blesseville -- I an not really liking that version, I do appreciate your attempt though ;)

[Taldo]

:)

[giant]

Here's from me... :)
Thank You.

[nikonthree]

giant- thank you for entering your version. I do think it is a bit busy for my taste though. I would prefer something along the lines Taldo's I think :unsure:

Jennifer thanks for the new revision. I dont think I like the box, I think I am swaying toward the simplistic approach.

I really like this version of a prior logo you did:

Taldo - can I see Version 1 in some colors that would "POP"?

[krishm]

Hello,

Logo Version#1 :)

[nikonthree]

Jennifer - Thanks for your new version.. It seems to "Gothic" for me though

nhr and krishm - thanks for submitting. I have the same crit on your submitted logos. They are too masculine looking to me. I am also not a fan of the fonts used. I would love to see more though ;)

Carol - Can I see version 1 and version 2 in Red (#e90202)? Can I maybe see another variation on that style as well?

:)

V6 another try

It would help if you could clarify what font style you prefer and if you are referring to the fonts used in the icon or name.

Thanks! :)

[nikonthree]

Jennifer I do apologize. I guess I should be more clear in my responses.

I would like to thank everyone though for your submissions. I believe I would like to end early and work with Carol (Taldo) on my final revision.

Happy Holidays everyone.. and thanks again :D

Please do explain where we go from here.

[Taldo]

Thank you! Let me know what revisions you would like.
