Just curious how long it takes before the actual process begins. Looking forward to working with you here! Thanks

[glyphica]

here's one from me to get things started :) Abstract "i" and "A"

[larussa]

Glyphica
Thanks for your play! I think it was a great idea but I am not loving the shape? Sorry! I feel terrible saying I don't like something because I appreciate your time and work, but I know when I "see it" I'll know that is what I am looking for! I would love any other concepts you may have and also any other attempts from other designers.

Hello,
I would like to present this as my initial ides for your logo design.

It consists of a stylized "I" and "A".
The "i" could potentioally be a person - a client - the silhouette of the "i" makes the lower-case "a" shape look uppercase. This in turn can symbolize coverage or protection, as the "A" shape is surrounding the "i" shape.

Please advise.

Respectfully submitted,
Kimber
:cre8or:

A and I letters forming an umbrella - the symbol of protection

[larussa]

Thanks for the additional designs. I am sort of feeling like it looks somewhat primary with the lowercase "i". I would like to see if we can come up with a more bold, powerful concept. I appreciate all of your time and efforts, but I don't think we are there yet. Thanks again and I look forward to working together to find what we are looking for!

[larussa]

Any other submissions/ideas are welcome! I really think that all of you are so talented and I am confident we can find something that we love here. Thanks again for your time

Giant- Thanks so much for your submissions. This is definately moving in the right direction. I really like several of these. We are meeting with the other partners tomorrow evening so I will present what we have to them and see what suggestions they have. I would love any more ideas/concepts to have available to present at the meeting to morrow evening. So any additional designs would be appreciated. I do think we are getting closer! Thanks again!!

Hello! Thanks so much for all of your work so far. we reviewed the designs as a group and here are our suggestions:

Giant- Thanks so much for all of your ideas! we liked version #3 and #6.
On #3- Can we make the graphic and wording larger and maybe space out the letters in the name some. We like the concept but feel it needs to be a bit bigger and bolder
On #6- Can we try with the wording below the graphic. We like the how the graphic is sleek and crisp. And we are assuming the white lines in the red box represent a I and A is that correct?

Nutscreative- We really liked this design as well. We are curious what the graphic represents? Is it just an A?On the red version-we would Like to see the word Insurance in black and the word associates in the color that insurance is currently in. ALso on the blue version can you replace the yellow with grey or black?
Also we would prefer a different font...something more similar to giants version #6

Tonight someone mentioned possibly using a fleur de lis in the design. I really like the direction we are going but if anyone wants to have a few plays using a fleur de lis that would be appreciated as well. I look forward to coming to a decision on the design. Thanks for all of your time and talent!

[giant]

Here's from me again... :)
do you mean like this? if we space out the letters...that make the letter so long...
sorry, my english little bad.

Thank You.

[giant]

again... :)
yes the white line represent a I and A.
and the meaning of the logo is... in the "world of insurance" white line is represent about the risk BUT protected/taking care by a red box and the red box also represent to the association.
once again sorry if my english little bad.

Thank You.

Hi, please see revised attached. The logo is a combination of A and I, i use the curve to represent "I" to give audience impression that "insurance" is something not rigid, its friendly and flexible and also visually contrast with the triangular "A".

[larussa]

Thanks so much for the revisions! I really appreciate it!

Giant- We really like the powerful, crisp, bold look of the version 6 and 6.1 but are concerned that the graphic looks very similar to saturn cars. Can we try a few more things as far as the graphic? I like the look but am worried about a confusion with the similar graphics.

nutscreative- thanks for the color changes! We still are not in favor of that font though. Can we try some other things?

Any other contributions/designs are still welcome. We appreciate your help! Thanks

[giant]

[nutscreative]

My apology, i misread your comment and thought you are refering to post#6 font style, anyway, please see some options attached. Thanks.:)

[larussa]

Hi
Sorry for the delay in response. We have been out of town and just returned. I would like to extend the deadline a bit if that is possible to try and make a final decision on this. How do I go about doing so?

I do however want to make a decision soon so if there are any other concepts available please submit them so we can proceed. Thanks!

[Taldo]

hi:)

[larussa]

Giant- on version 6.2

the third one from the top:
Can we try blue and grey, and blue and black as a possible color combination. We like the lighter shade of blue rather than the navy, Also the wording is still in red on the blue version. Can you change that as well. Thanks!
We do like this design but are still concerned about the similarity to saturn cars's logo! I love the cutting edge look to it though!

[Taldo]

[larussa]

Carol,
You must have posted at the same time I was. :) Thanks for your contribution. I am not sure about the graphic but I do like the font used. I would love to see if you have any additional ideas. Again thanks so much for your time and work. We are definately still looking at all of our options!

Project Update: The project deadline has been extended to July 14th.

[larussa]

giant- quick question...what is the difference between versions 6.3 and 11

Taldo- thanks again for your additional design. We are going to review them together tomorrow

[giant]

on the ver 11... the top of the "A" is connected.
Thank You.

-giant-

[larussa]

We have decided to go with giants design from post #16 but will need to make color adjustments, etc... We would like to proceed with finalizing the details with giant. Thanks so much for all of your time and work!

[giant]

larussa, Thank You for choosing my idea... :)
but which post do you mean? or which version do you mean?

about the revision, let me know about the details...

post #16 is belong to nutcreative.

Thank You.

-giant-

[larussa]

My mistake Giant... I meant post# 19 and version 6.1

Can you make the word Insurance in Red and the Associates in black and Vice versa, I think the gray is too soft. We need a more powerful grey or black color for the wording

Once we see this we can decide between this color combo or we will go with the blue and black combo that you had prepared in Version 11, post #34

[giant]

OK, I'll make the revision soon... :)
