All,

Sorry for the delay in feedback! ;)

I have discussed this with my partner and he has had the following thoughts:

FTI Grafix Love the design, love the play on letters and face image, could you experiment in different fonts and styles in a similar way.

JulieT Like the designs but not we are lokking for as the design doesnt seem original enough or memorable enough.

Eljain Similar to notes on JulieT's design (see above) we do not feel that these logos are memorable or "different" enough.

I look forward to seeing further additions and revisions over the next few days!

Thanks

Daniel :)

Hope this entry captures what you're looking for in a logo.

First post. :ph34r:

[Palmer]

RadicalSEED, try to save them in a little higher quality. They are muddy from being compressed too much.

Thanks :tup:

[FTIGraphix]

Or maybe try and save it as a .gif

[Palmer]

I like .pngs. They make good golf clubs (http://www.pinggolf.com/) too. :D

[ElKootcho]

orange dot :tup:

[Tyler]

Yah sorry about that! I tried to upload as a .png but it wouldn't accept. I have a .gif now and will u/l if necessary.

[Palmer]

The ping may of been too big. Can you split the image in 2 and upload to 2 different posts? :blink:

[Tyler]

It just says I cannot upload that type of file. Oh well .gifs it is I guess.

[Palmer]

Hmmmm, I'll have to check the permissions. I'm sure pings are allowed but the file size is too big. Stay tuned...

(in reality this is an initiation process we put all the newbies through) :lol:

[Palmer]

Ok, I think it was the file size. Try it now, I upped the limit.

[Tyler]

<_< Whatever. This .gif is as good as a .png anyway. And the .png file size is waaay below the original limit but still does not u/l. No need to increase the u/l limit, :huh: although I see you already did.

[Palmer]

Looks great. I still don't know why the png file wouldn't work. An alternative is to upload it to your server space and then use the IMG button to put it in the message.

ps, watch the attitude :)

All,

Some feedback:

Ejlain
Like the design with the pig (saving money concept) I would like to see this expand upon, althougth I am not keen on either the font or colour in particular.

JulieT
I dont dislike them but feel that they lack that little something memorable or different. Could you have a rethink and see what springs to mind.

FTIGraphix
I am still keen on the face concept, although having looked at closely for a while it is actually resembling a waterbuffalo? Could you have a play with the colours to try and make the connection between the B + D and shape a liitle clearer? I wondered if coloruing those in another colour would help to connect the shape with the letters?

Ubergergleek
This design is immaginative and different, I would love to see some more possibly with different shapes and colours?

Sparkie
Nice idea with the $ sign, however once substituted for a £ sign probably woouldnt have the same impact? I also get the feeling that the image doesnt look corporate or crisp enough?

RadicalSEED
I dont particularly like those designs sorry :rolleyes: I would welcome anymore different ideas though?

Thanks

Dan

[Tyler]

This needs work. Can anyone see the hidden dollar sign?? :squint:

[FTIGraphix]

Thanks for the feedback. Did you prefer the face with the smile on it, or the original one?

FTI,

I think he meant the very first one you did...cuz it does resemble an ox :lol:

[FTIGraphix]

lol....he must have. I went and looked at the smiley one and just didn't see a water buffalo :lol:

[Tyler]

:D *SIGH* good times, good times...

So what happened to the time frame here. :huh: Wasn't this scheduled for last weekend??

[FTIGraphix]

Yeah, it said May 23rd. But looks like they haven't found exactly what they want yet. I'll have updated entries tomorrow.

[dbirchmore]

All,

As mentioned by several off you, I havent yet found a design that inspires me so I will be extending the contest for at leats another week from today.

Thanks

Dan :tup:

[Tyler]

[dbirchmore]

All,

Apologies for the delay :tdown: !

I have been completely snowed under with everything, sill cant complain as things re looking on the up!

It is with great pleasure that I can finally announce the winner of this long standing contest:

FTIGraphix : The original design with the "water buffalo" type face still hasn't been surpassed in terms of an unforgettable and neat image! :tup: :tup: :tup:

I will be in touch over the next few days with a couple of minor ammendmants and to get the files from you.

Regards,

Dan

[FTIGraphix]

Thanks Dan.

You can just PM me, or email at sales[at]ftigraphix.com and I'll make the minor adjustments plus send you the files.

[Palmer]

Congrats FTI on your first win. :clap: Is that the same email address you use for PayPal?

Thanks Dan :)

Thank you Palmer :blush: And yes it is.
