Hi nordy thank you for an instant reply... it looks nice i really like the font and overall 80s trendy look but we need to add classy and wedding feeling here:) if you understand what i mean... most of my client are female they need at least a bit of smth curly and sensual:) also in general i'd rather go for orange than cyan... shall we try to play with two parts of the logo "wedding" and "4oto"?

[glyphica]

dear glyphica thank you for joining in:) it's much appreciated... in general i liked v3 and v4 better (both BW)... however i see it as a bit more sophisticated and elegant? shall we try to play with W and 4 and try to create a monogramme? i need to create smth that will be eye-catching and easy recognizable... and play where to place it... between the wedding and 4oto? many thnx

[wedding4oto]

dear nordy thank you for revisions... i liked the idea of differentiating wedding and 4oto in v2 ... however i see this logo more sophisticated and elegant... i want my clients read between the lines more than we will have at our wedding shoot... i want them to read that they will get beautiful elegant pictures and it will not be hard for them... they can relax and enjoy their big day:) if you understand what i mean:) thank you for ideas anyway!

Hello! :)

[Artemii]

Version 1.1

[wedding4oto]

dear xpressions i really liked your v.2 BW logo... it's probably one of the closest versions to what i need... a couple of notes: could we possibly play with W4 a bit more please - it can look like signature or whatever you feel... at the moment W and 4 not clearly readable (one of my wicked colleagues read WHY in it!!!)) another problem max height my website allows for logo is 9 pix so we need either make words wedding 4oto smaller (but still readable!) or recompose all the group horizontally ( for ex: weddingW4oto ???)... i need to finish by tomorrow so it would be great if you could suggest smth nice:)


P.S. nordy and artemii thank you all for your ideas....

[glyphica]

a couple more ideas :)

[glyphica]

[xpressions]

Thank you for the feedback. Here is a revised version a bit more condensed. Hopefully the "why" is no longer. Also, I am not sure if 9 pixels is accurate, that is very small. Could you clarify please.

dear all thank you for your time and beautiful ideas suggested in such a short period of time! it's much appreciated. it was a difficult decision to choose between two final revisions made by xpressions and glyphica... eventually i thought glyphica's logo (needs some minor adjustments though) will fit better at my website and will look naturally on albums and photo frames... by the way my other projects first4oto ( see other topic in Logos) and print ad for wedding4oto (see Miscellaneus) need you urgent attention!!!
thanks again, valeria

[glyphica]

Thanks for choosing my design! :) Just let me know what revisions you'd like to make. Please also specify what version# it is :)

Thanks!
Stephanie

P.S.
I plan on entering the other projects as well :)

[wedding4oto]

hi stephanie nice to hear from you:) let's get it sorted:) we are going for v.7 there's a couple of remarks: i think we need to do logo more readable... let's get read of 'enojy the day' and make the font bigger and bolder but not thick:)... pld keep in mind i wil use arial Unicode MS as main font on the website... also i liked the way you played with overlapping dd in your v.3 (but didnt like 4 though:))... also let's try to change background colour to red (like at website) to make text more readable... NB: regarding W4 at the beginning... now when we brushed and made our logo perfect and impeccable i need you to add more wilderness and smth striking detail breaking the rules... going out of boundaries... out of the box... wether it is smth curly pattern or smth sketchy 'growing' from W4 or smth else i honestly don't know:))))!!!! i've seen your works i know you can do it:) thank you... about deadlines i traded one more day for logo and print ad... if it helps:) many thnx

[glyphica]

Let me know what you think? :)

I will be out of the office tomorrow, but I will be back Thursday.

Thanks,
Stephanie

hi stephanie, thank you for adjustments.. i think original version 7 is more balanced i guess we should stick to it (incl frame and W4)... just let's do the font bolder as in v.9 b..

to help me have a final look at the project could you possibly show me please how it will look if:

a) v.7 with wedding4oto in capitals like in v.9.b with orange background fill (just a bit bolder and earthy than original pls too bright) and b) all the same but with red background fill PMS 194 from v.8

c) all the same as in a) but wording wedding4oto low case as in v.9.a also both versions with orange and red background fill....

to be honest i hoped to get a swirly design element spreading a bit above or under 'wedding4oto' to make the whole composition more solid and give a wedding feeling bit.. but if you don't feel it will fit there..:)

[glyphica]

Let me know what you think :)

[glyphica]

;)

[glyphica]

:) with swirl element

[wedding4oto]

hi stephanie i'm signing off a and c. can i have them in both colours please? and how quickly i can get it?:) thnx

[wedding4oto]

update: sorry didn't mention it's a and c v.10... also sorry for being a pain but can we do one more thing with this logo before closing the project pls? could you add: by valeria hodgkinson instead of the enjoy the day? a) low case the same font and b) handwriting with capitals... if it works it solves a lot of my troubles:)

[glyphica]

Sure, here you go :)
