Right now - I like versions #2 and #4 for the fact that there's some action around 'Connect'. However, in terms of the weight the word 'Connect' has compared to 'TEXbase', I'd like to pare it down to maybe 3/4 or 1/2 the size of the word relative to 'TEXbase'. TEXbase is the overarching company brand with 'Connect' being a product platform under the umbrella of TEXbase... Hope this makes sense...

Here's the revisions. With smaller Connect.

revisions.

Version # 4B

TEXbase
12-02-2008, 04:03 PM
right now, I'm leaning toward version 2b - I like the 3-D effect. Anyway to add more spheric, 3-D effect to 4B (similar to the LDM3 logo provided in the logo summary with the arrows). Also - maybe try a version with 'Connect' off-set to the lower right, and/or to the right side of (inline with) TEXbase. Any other ideas around graphics for 'Connect' - maybe portraying a 'global' look/feel?

TEXbase
12-02-2008, 04:07 PM
to follow up on my 'global' idea above, feel free to get creative in terms of adding in a couple different colors in addition to those consistent with the existing TEXbase logo...

TEXbase
12-02-2008, 04:23 PM
also - maybe try to match the text font for 'Connect' with 'TEXbase' - or at least a version to see how it looks

Cool - I like where some of these are heading, but feel the 'Connect' portion still needs to come to life a bit more; portraying 'Global' and 'Speed' with the italics. I think it is a bit difficult to show this graphically, as it can seem too busy with the graphics in the existing TEXbase logo combined with additional graphics from the 'Connect' portion. Feel free to try some options, revising the mesh arrows in the existing TEXbase logo to evolve into the above thoughts to blend better with the addition of 'Connect' (similar to the initial LDM3 logo arrows in the project summary as an example). Any thoughts?

I like the earth/arrows in the last two comps; 12 and 13 where the arrows stand out more in contrast to the earth. can you try a version with #12 where 'Connect' text is under or to the right of TEXbase? It can overlap a little too if it works better similar to 1.0 by NHR above.

Hi All - haven't seen any response to my previous post as of this morning. Requesting that this project deadline is pushed till Monday, 12/8...????

TEXbase
12-04-2008, 04:35 PM
Also - just to reiterate from an earlier comment as this logo has evolved;
- keep 'Connect' to the lower right (or to the right) of 'TEXbase'
- any way to overlap 'Connect' or integrate (connect) with 'TEXbase' would be cool to check out and OK to try

Hello Giant - Dewa Jaya,
Here are some thoughts to make revisions to your 'Version 2' above;
- increase the size of the text 'Connect' so it's more noticeable without increasing the size of the graphics relative to the text (don't want the graphics around 'Connect' to distract from the existing/initial graphics in the original TEXbase logo)
- feel free to tweak the graphics around connect if you'd like, as long as it doens't distract or take away from the TEXbase graphics as mentioned above (maybe a couple different comps/examples?).
- it can continue to overlap a little as you did in Version 2.

I think that's it for now - thanks again for all your help!
Andy

keeping the same size on the graphic around 'connect', increase the size of the text even more - try a couple versions with different sizes; from approx. 20% bigger to 40% bigger. Thanks,

Hi Giant,
Please increase the size of the text 'Connect' just a bit more from Version 5 - keeping the 'arrow' graphics the same size. Probably so it's the same font size as 'BASE'

TEXbase
12-12-2008, 09:28 AM
Also - to add to my previous update;
- on the upper portion of the arrow (orange) above 'Connect', bring it up a little higher so it passes throught the 'A' in TEXbase to look a little more like an 'A'. Bring the left hand portion of this arrow behind the 'B' and the left hand leg of the 'A'. Keep the botto arrow (red) as-is.

Please call or email if you have any additional questions or if you would like to discuss in person. Thanks!
Andy

OK - I think we're pretty close. At this point, the arrowhead on the orange and red arrows converging on the second 'N' in connect seem too small. Please increase the size of the head of the arrow enough so that it depicts an actual arrow. Thanks!

Hi Giant,
Can you increase the size further still? When you reduce the size of the overall logo, the arrow-heads get lost quickly. Thanks,
Andy

giant
12-17-2008, 10:23 PM
which part do you mean increase? do you mean the arrow and text "connect"?
Thank You.

TEXbase
12-18-2008, 08:14 AM
Just the arrow-head - the same section that you changed in the previous version, just increase the size of both arrow-heads converging into the text so that they appear more as an arrow and doesn't get lost when reducing the overall size of the logo. I'd like to finalize ASAP if possible - not sure if you're able to submit another version today. Please call me to discuss if you have any questions. Thanks again for all your help on this,
Andy
