for the contest Logo for IT/Electronics Recycling Company
Regarding design #7
I like the card concept but not sure about the logo. The earth with arrows has been overused.
Regarding design #7
Let's go back to this design.
Show it to me with Capital T and U also add tag line under TechUsed.
Leave everything else like it is for now.
Thanks,
Ron
(just so you know, most people I show the choices to pick yours as the best)

OK, this is getting really close. Do you think the logo is a little large compared to the company name? I know I am the customer but you are the designer, right?
One other thing...let's try the tag line like this: REuse, REsell, REcycle. Maybe even with the RE in a different color?
Thanks,
Ron
Regarding design #36
I think that the logo should stay like this. I can do a version where the symbol is a little smaller but i still believe you should promote your image through that logo.
Revisions are on the way.
Regarding design #47
Very nice, just a quick question re printing costs.
Is it going to be much higher with so many colors?
On the face of the card where the address, etc is are they going to have to print this or print the green only leaving the letters uncovered on a white background?
This looks like it might take 2 printings and 4 colors, right?

Well, the facts are as follows: having gradients this makes the composition to use full proccess colors (CMYK) that usually is used in proccess printing.
Of course, there are digital printers that does not require 1, 2 or 4 colors and so on.
Regarding the other issue, just for your knoledge, white isn't printable color and is always considered as broken raster in desktop publishing(means paper-white usually) ;) Of course, there are PANTONE colors, but here it is not the case. :)
Prices in proccess printing are higher than the usual (SOHO) printers. Still there are professional digital printers, that have lower prices on printing than proccess printers.
Hope this helps,
Emi

A 4 color version(spot colors).
I think i can reduce it to 3colors if i remove the grey on the front and adapt
the back to green trend as the front.
Hopefully that helps.

After seeing the RE version I didn't like it in your design. I suspect you didn't either so I rejected #4.
Here is what I would ask at this point:
Increase the size of the tag line by 1 or 2 points.
Replace the bottom left version with a black on white version that I can use on envelopes.
You are the #1 contender to win this, EVERYONE I show it to loves your work.
Thanks again,
Ron

Sorry, don't like the blue in the arrows.
Regarding design #59
I'm still a little worried about the tag line size being readable on a regular business card and on letter head. Thoughts?
I like the bottom version of the black and white; do you think graytone would be better?
OK, now here is my real question....What do YOU think at this point? What would you change if you were doing this for yourself or someone in your family?
Lastly, please verify this is all original and copywriteable.
You have been great, many thanks!

Here you have. The tagline has 7pt size.
Regarding the improvements, i cannot think of any right now.
It's original and i can sign some papers for you no problem.

I would like to have "Printed on recycled paper" added to the back, bottom, center of the business card.
Could you increase the size of the entire logo by 20-25% so I can see what it looks like on the card?
Also, how would you incorporate the blue on the back of the card into letterhead?
Thanks again,
Ron
Regarding design #68
Hello Ron,
I will be back in a few hours from the weekend trip.
I can then provide you the variations, no proble + letterhead.
If you are set on the logo but you don't like the present bizzcard design i can re-work this after, no problem.

Regarding design #68
yes, it's a deviation from a recycle symbol and a globe.
Regarding design #68
But, if he has copywrite on the recycle the world logo, won't I have a problem with your stylized version of the same?
