hi,

thanks for the submissions - there are some bold and clean layouts we like so far, but we think we need to add some notes to further clarify what we are after

we need an image of action and certainty - we looked at 'communist poster art' and banksy and whilst many of those images are not suitable, they are strong, evocative action images

here are tow search links:

hi,



we're not sure of the protocol, but we are going to eliminate most of the applications now, so the remaining designers know what is working best

mostly the rock/mountain thing is harder to do than we thought. it sounds like a strong image, but rocks are largely just lumpy things.  perhaps the rock and roll, or other mentioned imagery (and uploaded images) is better

thanks a lot for the work you've done,

pri and russ

hi to everyone who has submitted a design for us

just a quick apology, i should have been messaging everyone and instead, i was using feedback, which i assume can be searched on later and wont make sense to anyone else



sorry about that

regards,

pri and russ.

 hi everyone,

 



thanks for all the submissions.  we have enjoyed viewing many of the logos you have created

pri and i will compare our favourites tomorrow and narrow it down to about 4 designs we have in common and then ask for any mods (if required) before we make a choice

we've been trying out many of the logos, to see how the design would work on a web page/business card and the related colour schemes and found that some of our favourites are not working as well as we thought.  logos taller than wide are the most problematic and other subtler designs are perhaps not 'loud' enough for a start-up business

surprisingly, creativity will not the most important factor in making a choice. rather, durability and useability matter more.  for example, a limited number of colours (including black and white) is better, as it focus's the style (i.e. ibm is a blue and white company).  also, a simple design we can use in many settings (letterheads/reports/promotional material)  without much thought is nice. also, as we are dealing with cautious customers who are handing over money for products they may not really understand, we are inclined to sit with traditional shades of red/white/blue/black that are on say national flags (uk/us)

i also think mild references something interesting (rock and roll, or communist art) referenced against regular bold colours with regular shapes (circle/square/triangle) will be preferred. i think curves are ok, but they may be slight.  once again, i think we are dealing with structured minds making financial decisions about software they may not understand from a new software company.  so, the language must be formal, but a with a suggestion of  something a little more interesting

i hope that makes sense, because i am not sure this means we will decide on a logo anything like what we expected before you began submitting your designs. 

so thanks to you all for all your excellent work and if you are eliminated, chances are it will not be due to the quality of your work, but rather the fickleness of a client on the internet, you have not met.

kind regards,

pri and russ

thanks very much for your efforts and best of luck
