Really nice! I think this is the best of all the concepts.

A fantastic concept, a successful visualization of the message.**The fact that the left/lower end of the star is formed with the %22r%22 makes the logo even more precious.**Congrats! Outstanding work!

The best proposal you have. Nice indeed

Brilliant use of the R's negative space to create that portion of the star!! I like this a lot. The gradient isn't working for me though. How often do painting company's use gradients when painting a wall? Just a thought. Even so, very nice job!!

Thanks for the comments all. Yes it was my personal favourite, now let's hope the client chooses it! hehe.**@ Ocular -- I doubt that the final logo will have the gradient, i understand what you mean. I did a concept for a %22dripping%22 star and moved away from it as it hardly communicated precision... **Just thought i'd give it a bit of a web 2.0 feel for posting here on a website. It works ok without it. Actually, i think i may have given it to the client with the gradients, oops...

I would be concerned about that name depending where they are trading. Not sure if you've heard of Austar? http://www.austar.com.au/default.asp*Logo is hot

Yep, i am also concerned, but the client assures me it's all registerd...

I would replace the Avant Garde with lighter (than the AUSTAR) DIN Mittelschrift. Overall - good job.

Great work... you have my sympathy re the client throwing Word docs with clip art in them. I tend to use the old line - 'Sorry, my system doesn't recognise Word docs' Client should be happy with this result though.

Haha, i'll have to remember that line. This is the one we managed to convince them to go with.*

@ BigAl67: hehe... that IS a good trick.%0D*%0D*@ dikkers: Is this an Australian company?

Well now I'm really suprised that they're name is Austar. Sucks if they had it registered before...Austar...(the pay tv giant)%0D*Great work on the logo by the way!

dikkers Sep. 18 '08

Yeah i know, it was a concern of mine, but they assured me it was all ok. **Some times i wish i'd be asked to do the TV giants logo, or JetStar's, that design would work well as their logo with the fin of a plan instead of a brush... Better than their FedEx copy... :P
