ki0,

Thank you. Here's my feedback:

* I like v1 font and stacking of the words more than v2.
* I would like to see some other color samples and a font color or colors instead of black or gray.
* The line/stripes design in both versions resembles an airforce patch/rank and we are not affiliated with the military. Can we see some other shapes/designs?

Thanks for your efforts! I'll check back later.

Kekepania,

Thank you for taking a shot at this. Here's my feedback:

* Not your intention I'm sure, but v2 looks a like female parts if you know what I mean :blush: so that won't work.

* The colors in all 3 versions are nice but too soft/pastel like which is what I want to stay away from. I'm seeking colors that are bold as in deep rich tones. Executive-like. Or a contrast of dark and light colors.

* The shapes are not working for me in any of the designs, but I feel that you have the right concept. Feel free to extend a shape under/over/in the words. I'm fine with abstract shapes or shapes of different sizes, or shapes that extend under or through the words.

* I would like to see some different fonts used to compare/contrast styles, and I would also like to see a design with the company name on one line to compare/contrast to stacking the name.

Thank you for your efforts and I look forward to some new ideas.

Jennifer,

Thanks for your design, here's my feedback:

I went to your website discovered a logo you made for Excelsior Property Group. I like the swoosh and the color, looks like a burnt orange or reddish. Can encorporate something stylish like that in this logo with one of the letters (maybe the V?).

The symbol is the right idea but can I see something else? Something smoother?

I'm not sold on the blue but I like the black orangeish/red/gray color scheme you have on the Excelsior logo.

Thank you, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you to the designers who have submitted ideas for this logo.

I have made a decision to go with BlueCherryGraphics final version v6. Thank you, Jennifer! I have two small requests that I would like to ask. One, can you make the words "search partners" a few shades darker gray so it's a little more visible? Two, can I see the same design in the burnt orange color just to compare blue vs. orange?

Thank you!

Beth

Jennifer,

We love your designs and love the logo you created for us, so thank you very much. We like both colors so much we are considering using both (blue for employer collateral, orange for job seekers). What would the cost be to get the designs for both?

Thank you,
Beth

Hi Beth,

Thanks!

I will provide both color versions; there's no extra charge. Good idea using them to differentiate between the two groups.

I should have those for you tonight.

Thanks! :)
