for the contest New Aircraft Company looking for a sleek, sharp logo
Submitted design #291
Hello. I picked up your idea of having simple curves representing airflow. The logo is sharp, forward-driven, clean & clear. This should print really well and should also hold well, when applied to equipment (aircraft). I am looking forward to your feedback. Please use the feedback option directly on the entry, not the main contest comment function, otherwise I will not be informed about your comments, and that would be a pity.
Thanks

Possible colour usage: You are the green star in the air! Wooosh! ;)
I love your design concept. Although it is a bit abstract and busy, I need to get my other team members opinion. Can you make it simpler (less filled up), get some card and stationary examples?
BTW if you get a seven pronged star with seven of these foils from top to bottom (diagonally from right top to left bottom, it could be interesting.
Love to see what you can come up with.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I’ll get to work.

I tried to implement your idea with the 7 elements and the seven-fold-star. I made it a bit more thin, lightened it up. Tell me if this is better. All the best.

Here are some really raw stationery mock-ups. Note that they are really quick-one and only give a fast impression about the logo in context. Real stationery design would need a lot more attention to detail.
Sorry I just had to bring that plane-tail in ;)
Hi, the airfoils are not very very cool. Take a look at http://www.designfoil.com/primer/airfoil1.html figure 3,4,and 5 give good representative shapes of airfoils. You can make them look thinner, and their mean line (top + bottom)/2 line to be curved. Then you could make the colors a little lighter as well. The 7 foils represent 7 different elements of innovation that we have.
Hi, I just thought of an idea based on yours. Suppose the middle airfoil was horizontal, and the rest of the 6 airfoils in a more or less symmetrical configuration, but still having a slight climbing look. The logo could be rhombus (the square, rotated by 45deg about its center). This way the outer airfoils will be smaller.
What do you think?

To be honest: I did not even see it as a foil. So here I changed it more according to your suggested images. I am not sure however, what exactly you meant with the curves. Could you try to explain again?
Colours are lightened up, as you wished. Looking forward to your feedback.
Did not read your previous comment before posting... I will try definitely.
Aha, hmm how to explain to you the chord that is curved.... Take a look at #167 that is a curved airfoil. The front of the foil is usually thicker than the tail (just like a fish), so if you have the main airfoil a bit pointed and then the rest of them like the #167 but progressively getting smaller... and horizontal in a rhombus form, we should've something really unique. If that looks great, then you can get all arty with that and spice it up. However, I'd prefer a simpler and more elegant font (straighter) and the logo also symmetrical (in the sense that the rhombus should be symmetrical).
You can also eliminate the star from the nose... of the main airfoil and make the airfoil more sleek like the figure 2 on the page I referred to you earlier.

Okay, I think I got it. The rhombus is a great idea, in my eyes — you have good ideas!!!
Note also font change. ;)

More lightened and "airy".
The airfoil is still stubby. Remember the airfoil has a nose that is slightly sharper than yours and it increases in its thickness towards 30% of its length, then it tapers out in a nice smooth tail shape.
The other (top and bottom) should be also airfoils not curves resembling flow. You can give each airfoil a nice bright color, the next airfoil with another bright color (just like a rainbow. Have all the airfoils emerging from the right most vertex of the rhombus, with the top ones parallel to the top right edge, and the bottom one parallel to the bottom right edge.
This should look better.
I have worked on your suggestion, but cannot upload at the moment, since to a site error obviously, you will get the new version definitely before the contest ends.

...If I understand you right. I traced the foil now from a technical drawing, are you satisfied with this one?
I might not be able to do more revisions before the contest ends, but would of course be available for alterations afterwards.
