Thanks,

#16 - Zohaib - some really good ideas, I don't feel they were developed enough to jump in at 4 stars like #17. The reason for this is I'm not entirely convinced integrating a symbol in the text is the best approach, also I feel that professionality in such text/symbol integration is difficult without being total pedantic.

However, you are the experts so I am now wondering what you think. :)

Added bold highlighting to parts of the brief I feel are still important and should be in the logo!

Adam

Comment for all entries - If any of the designers get time to try and incorporate more of a company identity into their entries this would be benficial to us in selecting the best logo.

This is not mandatory, just useful to us :)

More comments to come, Thanks,
Adam

I Will be adding comments about the additional designs and where I feel we have been taking this with the kind designers who have participated in this competition.

I would like to thank you all once again, and announce I will be adding some final guides for the ultimate completition of the competition.

Best Wishes,

3 Designs elimnated, all others under consideration!

#9 - Abjam - Thanks for your re-submission, it is very thoughtful of you and I appreciate it. I always give very honest feedback, and frankly your concept is the best conceived, I just think you're concept could have been executed better graphically, I'd have given you 3 stars otherwise.

Thankyou for your time, I look forward to seeing future work from you!

Best Wishes,
Adam

#7 - abjam77 - Thankyou for your entry. Unfortunately this is well below the standard I would expect from an experienced Designer using Photoshop. If I wanted to create some text with a high stroke, and add a gradient to the background layer it would take me about 2 - 3 minutes. :) How long did this take you? Also we are seeking professional designs only; sorry you have to do a lot better than that!

Thank you very much for your time,

Best Wishes,
Adam

#6 - Sevenluck - Super simple. Super contrasting. You get a straight-in 3/5 here. I know you can do better! I like the simplicity , I'm rather interested to see whether any of you can come up with a logo that suits a web help company more suitably. And although sevenluck, i love your contrasting and simplicity, I can't help but think that the company needs some brand identification in the logo (and likely used/adopted in future corporate identity(ies)).

To summarise, i really like it - I feel there might be something missing, I would appreciate any other variations you get time to do.

Thankyou for your time,

I think I best rephrase this "I'd like it if you could a more integral shape (other than a circle?) - something designer smart"

What I mean by this is, the logo will need to be able to "hold itself" on any background, it would be nice to have some smart colour coding. Again, I loved almost all of the designs in this contest http://99designs.com/contests/8418. This is mainly because the logo's can be used on our business cards, website, and a webdesign hopefully can be extrapolated from the logo, rather than vice-versa. Hence why it would be nice for a highly ordered and identifyable (symmetrical maybe/symbology?) logo.

If you would like to discuss anything further i'm available on msn at azio@game-zero.com via PM.

#4 Comi - Thankyou for your re-entry! I can see a vast improvement there. I think #4 is closer than youre #5 Comi. I think that I can't really fault the quality of the design, it's pretty professional. I'd like it if you could build a more integral shape (other than a circle?) - something designer smart.

Again this is the closest design to what we want so far!

Thanks very much Comi, more feedback will be on the way soon!

Best Wishes,
Adam

#3 - Comi - Nice Design, this is getting a bit closer to what we wanted. I was hoping for something similar to any of these: http://99designs.com/contests/8418

As obviously, being an IT Support Company, and providing people with web help, stylisation and impact is important.

Emanuel Felipe: Although I accept that less is sometimes more, I could jump into CS2 and create some text and add a microphone to it myself :-). We are approaching designers because we'd like a stylised design that uses the capability and imagination of the designer. Simple is great. Bland is bad!

Comi - thanks Comi for your entry, the best so far! It still needs to be more professional than your current revision. What would be ideal is a character or object that fits in with the welp name. I've seen some really impressive logo's that do this on here, so was hoping for a logo that is identifyable and recognisable.

Thanks guys,
I hope to see more entries :)

Best Wishes,
Adam
