Nice, lets see type ;)

JoePrince said on Jan. 24 '10

The mark is great looking Sean. I think it would still be strong without the stuff in the middle, but probably makes it stand out more with them. Want to see some type with it too... :)

Wizemark said on Jan. 24 '10

Great mark, Sean.

ethereal said on Jan. 24 '10

Hey, thanks a lot, Anthony, Mike, Joe and Srdjan, I appreciate it! Well (ahem), the font(s) is something the client has given a directive on. :) They want their name as an acronym and again the font(s) are already set in stone. I think it's ok but would not have been my first choice at all. Shall I revert and reload the symbol here instead, like I had it?

ethereal said on Jan. 24 '10

@Joe: They are looking to make the mark a bit more unique to them than just the hands, and the tree/mountains help do that. I like it without the hands too, I have a version like that, several actually.

ethereal said on Jan. 24 '10

Might be able to change the typeface I guess! Woohoo! I'll post some type soon. Thanks again everyone!

andreiu said on Jan. 24 '10

i'm curious about the type too!

mcdseven said on Jan. 24 '10

I like this very much. Well done Sean. But I would love to see a type treatment aswell.

ethereal said on Jan. 24 '10

Thanks Andrei and Paul. Sorry for the confusion, folks. The client originally said they had a typeface in mind and were set on using it but talked with them today and they are open to changing it. So, here's one of the typefaces I am proposing. They definitely want an acronym. They are a pretty buttoned up company and so a clean, structured solution seemed fitting which also works well with the simplicity of the mark. I tweaked and modified a font by rounding corners to match the round qualities in the mark.

ethereal said on Jan. 24 '10

Oh, and they like lowercase as a possibility.

javaap said on Jan. 24 '10

Really cool color scheme, you don't see it everyday.

ethereal said on Jan. 24 '10

Thanks, javaap. Yeah, I'm pushing for them to consider this color scheme, I think it's very friendly.

mfrank said on Jan. 25 '10

Nice execution with the hands and placement of that headline! Kudos Sean.

ethereal said on Jan. 25 '10

Anthony, Ivan, Matt, Hans, Alen, Eddie, David, everyone, thanks so much! Didn't expect this reaction, I'm quite thrilled it made the gallery, wow. Appreciate it!

KonradK said on Jan. 25 '10

like color and style

pjmaster said on Jan. 25 '10

Really nice concept Sean. Color scheme is great, but mark in my opinion is to large in relation to typo.

ethereal said on Jan. 25 '10

Updated. Thanks, Jovan. I agree with you. I himmed and hawwed about the size and felt it might be a touch big but given the detail in the mark I opted to weight it just a bit to the symbol dominant side. It's been bugging me too. I brought it down some and I think it feels better now. Probably could go a hair more but I'm striving to keep it from getting too small.

mfrank said on Jan. 25 '10

IMO I think the update helped. Personally agree with you about the size.

ethereal said on Jan. 25 '10

Cool, thanks, Matt.

michaelspitz said on Jan. 26 '10

Great mark Sean! :)

ethereal said on Jan. 26 '10

Thanks, Michael, as always!

ethereal said on Jan. 27 '10

Well, unfortunately the client did not go with this. They opted for the typical - they decided to take another one of my proposals and redesign it themselves. So feel free to float this if you haven't, or buy me a drink, to help ease the pain.
