Hi

This is my first post and I'm really not sure if I'm getting this right. But I've paid the full amount to Paypal (US$150), I'll send an email to help to see what I've done wrong, but in the meantime I'd like to get the process running.

I am developing a podcast program that I will be listing on Itunes. I'd like a logo that I can use on the Itunes site as part of my marketing for my podcast.

It needs to be something that is clean and crisp and stands out. I'll be listing my podcast in the business section of Itunes. My target market are leaders in mid-large size organizations.

The podcast will be called: "Leadership and Motivation Training" and I want those words displayed clearly on the artwork (which I realize is a big ask given the small size).

(My website is at http://www.leadership-and-motivation-training.com if you want to take a look at my site).

The graphic will need to be in either gif, jpg or png formats and I want it to be 1,000 x 1,000 pixels in size.

I would like to have the project finalized by 8 May 2008.

Thanks
Shelley

Hi,

Thanks for responding I appreciate it.

My initial reaction was that it didn't excite me - and I'm not sure why (Sorry).

Having said that, of the two you have posted, I prefer the second one. It makes it more obvious that there's steps. I quite like the blue (but the grey for training is too pale). I also think the letters need to be bigger.

As I look at the Itunes Podcast pages (business catergory) which is where I'll be using this logo, I think my concern is that the words may not stand out enough.

Thanks
Shelley

Thank you Shelley, I got it (I hope).
Here is the one to stand out on Itunes Podacast page:

Hi

I like this. Can we add a female in as well? But I do like the way the man gives the feeling of joy, so don't want to lose that at the cost of getting a female figure in. Maybe lose the tie - would that make it look more gender neutral? And I really love the colors!

Thanks
Shelley

Thank you again Shelley.
Here is without tie:

If we use female instead, this may look like a "woman only" site.
If we add a female, may look like a "dating" site.
In this world using man is gender neutral I guess :)

Thanks - I hadn't thought of people thinking of it as a cue for dating! I'm thinking I prefer the one with the tie. Let me ponder it for 24 hours. On the whole, though I really do like it.
Be in touch
Thanks

Hi

Could I ask that you try to add in a business looking woman as well, then I'll send a few of my current clients here to see which they prefer and take into account your comments (which I really appreciate).

Thanks
Shelley

I did my best to avoid "female only" & "dating" look:

Maybe you were right, does not look like a "female only" I think:

Hi,

I'd like to go with Version 3. It doesn't appear that anyone else is bidding, so if we could go to the revision stage now, that would be tremendous.

thanks
Shelley

[nhr]

Thank you very much for choosing my design :)

Please, tell me what revision you need?

[breakthru-mentor]

Hi

Thanks for a terrific job, and being so patient with me, I appreciate it.

No revision needed. Just make sure it 1000x1000 pixels. I'm not sure what happens next, so if you could let me know that would be terrific.

Thanks
Shelley
