i notice that there have been 31 views but no replys. this is my first time doing anything like this and not sure if it takes a while or if my price is too low? feedback would be appreciated!

Hi

Just wondering if you are open to different ideas, other than the attached image?
thanks

kristinarob · #4 04-29-2010, 08:30 AM

we are open to any ideas. we are not real artistic so this was all we could come up with.

kristinarob · #5 04-30-2010, 06:24 AM

can anyone give me some feedback on why no responses? not enough money? to hard? not a style most of the designers here do? would love to hear from some of you so we can move on if this is not the site to help us out. thanks so much!

Hi Kristen, sometimes it takes a few days for first concept to get in, your project date is May 12th, designers are probably working on concepts...

kristinarob · #7 04-30-2010, 07:03 AM

cazeyzman · #8 04-30-2010, 09:52 PM

We really like the direction this is going...I like version 1 & my hubby digs version 2...in a Las Vegas kinda way!...I like the black better than the blue because the raod stands out..is it possible to remove the ribbon & replace it with the back end of a Bel-Aire or 57 chevy with the word cafe on the license plate?..just curious..Nice work!

Casey,
we love the first one you submitted put have a few questions. is it possibile to do the ribbion in the shape of a bumper with a license plate? can we play with multiple colors so the cafe part is one the road is black and the letteing is something else? also can you put the fork on the left side of the plate? thanks for your help and feedback

cazeyzman · #14 05-03-2010, 09:10 PM

Hello,
Attached is a look at it with a license plate for the CAFE area.
-Thanks

Version # 1

kristinarob · #16 05-04-2010, 08:40 AM

Casey,
like the license plate look. we like the ribbon on the first one but not the wavy ribbon look. can you make it look like a bumper and put the license plate on the bumper to look more like a car?
thx
Rob

Jennifer,
we like yours but one of the key elements for us is deffinately the road. I recently lost my job of many years and the road is a symbol that is a must for us. also the town we are doing this in is the OLDEST CITY IN THE STATE so some retro feel is a good thing for us we are realizing.
thx

casey,
We think we are close. i think we want to eliminate the fork but we want to see some variation on a couple of things just so we can compare. first we want to lose the actual fork itself. second is we would like to see two versions of the lettering, one in red and the other still in the blue but on the license plate not with the secondary outline on the black lettering. once you get those done we can print out and compare on which we like the best but i think we are real close to a decision.
thanks for your help and we look forward to seeing the final versions!
Robert and Kristina

cazeyzman · #21 05-05-2010, 08:54 PM

Attached is a version with the car oriented into the mix. Take a look and let me know what you think.
-Thanks

cazeyzman · #22 05-05-2010, 09:01 PM

And the color variations.
-Thanks

kristinarob · #23 05-06-2010, 07:31 AM

Casey,
WOW we LOVE the car idea! I think we are sold on that but want to see it without the fork and with the car body color Red. thanks so much it is really cool!

cazeyzman · #24 05-07-2010, 04:28 AM

Here ya go!
-Thanks

kristinarob · #25 05-07-2010, 02:40 PM

Everyone,
Thanks to all for your help and submissions! You all sent some great stuff and we really enjoyed this process. We have decided to go with casey and his design.
Thanks again,
Robert and Kristina

kristinarob · #26 05-07-2010, 02:46 PM

This project is now in the Revisions Forum.
Please let us know when the file have been received.

kristinarob · #28 05-08-2010, 11:23 AM

Casey,
we love the color scheme and the car but have decided to add the fork back in. i think that is the last tweak and we are done

thx!

kristinarob · #29 05-08-2010, 11:24 AM

can you give us a sample of one with a blue fork and one with a grey one?
thx

cazeyzman · #30 05-09-2010, 12:53 AM

Thank you so much for choosing my design. I've added back in the fork, additionally I've moved it to the right side to kinda balance the design since the "F" in the work is breaking the plane on the left side.
-Thanks
