[jbeale]

maybe a logo and then text under or something likew that

[jbeale]

try something artistic like a crest with initials or a animated man with a goatee and loop earings smoking a cigar or a city with smoke coming from it.then at nice text under it with the web site Smoke City Records.com in a artistic text but readable or text through the middle of logo.

Thank you.

[cazeyzman]

Hello,
another look at it from your discription. Still needs some polishing , just rying to see if this is what you had in mind.
-Thanks

[cazeyzman]

Another look at it with the same character :cool:

[jbeale]

version 1 i liked i think something on that style will be nice maybe different colors i liked the black and white.give me a couple versions of that similar style try a couple other crest styles if you could but something like that is getting closer maybe a little more classy not so boxed looking geared to adults and teens

[cazeyzman]

Another kinda look, little more raw, not as boxy, Do you have any colors in mind? :D

[jbeale]

I Like The Black And White The Best That Scroll Looks Nice But I Dont Think The Style Lettering Is Right. The Word Records Looks Cool But Try Another Style Lettering On Smoke City.i Know It's Hard To Find Something Cool And Readable.thanks For Your Help.also If You Have Another Idea I Would Love To See It .i Think The Verion 1 Stands Out More Than Any So Far But I Also Like The Last.i Feel Its Missing Something To Make Feel Like It's A Great Tee Shirt Design Maybe A Couple Lions On The Underside Of Each Side With Crowns On Or Something To That Effect. Thanks Again With Your Patience Your A Great Designer.

[jbeale]

one more thing try making outside ring stand out boldly maybe in gold and smoke city in gold the rest black and white .i would love to see that in the big version thick outside ring like a three dimensional crest or badge.thank you

[cazeyzman]

Yeah, I wasn't too sure about that center lettering also. Thanks for all the great input, I'll have a couple of concepts with those ideas incorporated soon.
-Thanks

[cazeyzman]

Something else to look at, taking a little bit from each of you descriptions :cool:

[jbeale]

another good idea but it is to blotchy looking and to simple needs more detail take a look at surfboard kings in the archive this might help with the detail im looking for. thanks man we'll get it. so far the first one is still my favorite in the black and white.

[cazeyzman]

Hello,
I took a look at the first entry that you said you like black and white and kept some of those aspects to keep that same impact at small size and black and white.
-Thanks

[jbeale]

put logo inside a cloud and check website www.smokecityrecords.com the meaning of the company is to represent hot records try it with the 1st one and the newest with the colors off the website.
thanks alot

[cazeyzman]

Hello,
just the small change with the cloud in the background and a small mock up of what it looks like in the website. The cloud works on the full color version, however it just looks like a blob if it is applied to the grayscale version.
-Thanks :D

[cazeyzman]

the first designh again with the sam applications

[jbeale]

Can you do the same on top of the web page in black and white like small logo please on both designs make the word city red like the web site.I like them both I think we are real close maybe just colors now might make the difference.
Thank you
Justin
sorry i read your notes after about the cloud looking like a blob
maybe outline a bit lighter to match site or red if that helps you.your the designer i trust you

[jbeale]

i really would also like to see the outide ring on the 1st design thicker like 3 dimensional looking if you can CZ.You are the man

[jbeale]

i think after last request i will be set to pick what one a like and i will notify you so we can go over what files i need from you.Thank you for all your help everyone at SmokeCityRecords thanks you also for your hard work on this project.
justin

[cazeyzman]

[cazeyzman]

Hello,

-Thanks :cool:

[cazeyzman]
