What type of logo would you like?

I want an elegant logo. I like the vintage bohemian look. But modern in that it is simple and clean.
I like the idea of having a symbol that identifies the company. Maybe in between white and isle?

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)

I am drawn to the red and blue in the link below. I am open to other choices as these may not fit with White Isle.

I don't want the logo to look pieced together but to completely flow together and be an original.

I also like American sparrows of tattoo origins. I don't think this fits either but someone may have an idea.

[pracus]

I hope it would be useful for you :)

[exey100]

Thanks Pracus!

I like the idea of using gold but any colors used would have to be very rich and saturated. I like the BW version better. The scrolling is nice but not exactly right.

[pracus]

well... too bad!

[glyphica]

:)

[glyphica]

your other preferred color combination :)

[exey100]

Hi Kekepania!

Thanks so much for the designs! I like the font and how it is used. I prefer the green. I also like the design but its not exactly what I'm looking for. It's kind of one of those things that I'll know when I see it.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can better convey this? I'm not sure how to describe it.

boho twist on a fleur dis lis/bouquet...

[exey100]

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was off having a baby but now would like to dive back into this.

Thank you for the design Tina1. It's nice but not what I'm looking for. I want something more polished.

I also like yours Off Beat Design but I'm looking for a logo that centers around a particular design. Thanks for the try!

Kekepania version one is very close. I like the font and colors. Could you twist the 4 main design elements to close in the center? I would love to see this!

[tini1]

Congratulations on your new baby:)

here is a different option:) thanks, Tini1

[glyphica]

Congrats!!!:flowers:

Here are some revisions :yes:

[glyphica]

v4 :)

[Unorthodox]

:)

[exey100]

Thanks Tina1! I'm still looking for something with cleaner lines.

I like the revisions Kelepania. I am still hoping for a design that is more custom but I do like these.

I really like your design unorthodox!

[exey100]

Anyone? I would love to see more:)

[exey100]

All of those views and only 5 people interested?

Moderators,
Is there anything I can to to spark interest?

[giant]

I'll post a sparrow themes... :)

[giant]

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

[tinawood]

One with the "W" initial.

[glyphica]

a couple variations :yes:

[glyphica]

:)

[exey100]

Thanks everyone for the great designs!!

Giant, I like your take on the sparrow theme. Very elegant looking but it's not me.

Tina Wood, I like the design but the W may not work for me.

For the logo, I'm envisioning some sort of graphic in between the White and Isle. Something reminiscent of a sunburst or blown out photograph. Not literally but something that gives that feeling.

Unorthodox, could you take your design and try the above idea? Use the bottom one and wrap it around the words a bit?

Kekepania, I liked how you flopped the colors so the design is white on the green background. Your design would also work easily with the above idea.

[Unorthodox]

Thanks for the comments :D

I have a small question though:
-Do you wish for me to integrate the leaf design I made with the typography? Meaning that I should mix the design with the letters intertwining?

[exey100]

Unorthodox,

I think with this particular design intertwining would be good. I like the upside down version the best and please keep in mind the feeling of the sunburst. Thank you so much for your time!

[exey100]

I would love to see more versions. Especially of the sunburst feel. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to inspire anyone:)

Thanks!

[exey100]

A bumpity bump to all of you talented designers:) Please let me know if you are working on something. I would like to finish this up early next week. Thanks!

[Unorthodox]

hi exey, just letting you know ill have something for you this weekend... unfortunately i havent been able to work on the computer a lot lately due to a head injury, ill try to deliver by then :)

[exey100]

Take your time Unorthodox. I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you feel better soon:)

Is anyone else working on anything?

[exey100]

Anyone out there?

[exey100]

Hello?

[glyphica]

Hi, I'm willing to enter another concept. I'm just not sure what you are looking for? Thanks! :)

Stephanie

[exey100]

Thanks for replying Stephanie. Your design is one of my favorites already:) It is very close to what I am looking for. Does anything else come to mind for the sunburst feel for the graphic? If so let me know otherwise I will ask you for a revision based on your previous design. I really like what you and unorthodox came up with.

I feel like I haven't communicated what I want very well based on the amount of designs I'm gotten but I'm at a loss for what else to say. If I can help you along in anyway please let me know. Either way I want to wrap with up by Friday as long as Unorthodox is able to revise by then.

[glyphica]

:) Thanks for the feedback

[exey100]

Thanks Stephanie! I will think about these and get back to you tomorrow.

[exey100]

Hi Stephanie,

Can I see version 3 with the graphic between white and Isle(larger then the text)?

Thanks!
Beth

[glyphica]

sure :yes:

[exey100]

Thanks Stephaine but I think thats version #1. Can I see version #3 with the closed in center? Can you move the words slightly closer to the graphic?

Thanks!

Beth

[glyphica]

:) whoops

[exey100]

Thanks Stephaine!

Do you see how the center cross stands out? Can I see a version with the lighter sections darkened to make it all one shade?

[glyphica]

:yes:

[glyphica]

Hi Stephaine,

I am deciding between version 9 and 10. I think I am leaning towards verion 9.

I have been following Blissgals thread as she referenced your design for me in the beginning and I think see and I have the same tastes. I was kind of waiting to see the responses to her last post.

Is is possible to see a font for me done as she described? "I want a stylistic stand-alone font logo created that feels upscale and hip"

I am really drawn to the font you used but I would like something completely unique but with the same feel as the current font.

Also, I'm wondering how may versions I will get? I would like a color and B&W and a set like the one you reversed so the color part was actually the background. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Beth


Sorry Beth, we are not allowed to communicate via PM until you have chosen a designer. :blush: Here are your changes:yes:

[exey100]

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for the revise. I definitely like the tweaked font. It's really hard to get across what you want when you don't understand the industry and it looks like the wording helped get it across. This one looks more original to me. Is is a established font or something you made?

Can I see a version #11 fonts with the version #9 graphic?

What about the versions?

"I would like a color and B&W and a set like the one you reversed so the color part was actually the background."

I was talking about the effect you used for version 6. I could see wanting to use that for packaging.

Will I also be able to move the graphic around when I get the final files? I would like to be able to have the graphic huge and the font small(like version #3) in certain situations.

Unorthodox,

Will you be able to revise? Sorry for the PM. I didn't realize it wasn't allowed. Hope you are healing and feeling well.

Stephanie and Unorthodox,

I will make a decision tomorrow.

Jeff,

Thank you so much for the design but I think I've already found my match with Stephanie.

Stephaine,

Thank you for all of the time you've invested in me! I choose you!

[glyphica]

Thanks for choosing me! :) Let me know what revisions you would like to see if any :yes:

[exey100]

Hi Stephanie,

I would like to see the changes requested in the post above. I would like to know the answers to the questions too:)

Thanks!

Beth

The Font for the all capitals version is Trajan Pro and the all lowercase one is Caslon Pro. You will get a color version and b&w version and I can throw in one more version if it doesn't require many changes. I'm not sure if you will be able to move stuff around on your logo, it depends on what software you will be using and your skill set in that software. I can always include a stand alone version of just the graphic so that you can scale it to whatever size you would like. I think that was all your questions:confused: Let me know if I missed anything :yes:

Thanks!
Stephanie

[glyphica]

Here's a version with the same graphic with the green background :)

[exey100]

Hi Stephaine!

I would like #12 and #13(the one on the left,not the solid one to the right). Can I also get a inverse version(the graphic in green) of #13 and a stand alone graphic?

Thank, thank you, thank you!!

[glyphica]

Hi! So from post #12 which font option would you like? top or bottom?

[exey100]

Opps! The top.

Thanks:)

Hi Beth,

A link to download your logo files has been sent to your private messages. :yes:

Thanks!
Stephanie

[exey100]

Thank for the files Stephanie!

When I convert to a png file the edges are jagged. Do you know why this would be? Am I not doing something right?
