OcularInk said:I agree with cobalt. The mark has great style and colors, but I'm having a hard time relating the mark with the type.

grubedoo said:The mark is very interesting and beautifully illustrated. The type fights with the mark.

cerise said:Thanks for the comments, the type is not finalised as yet so I'll take those comments on board with a revised logo soon, Regards Cerise

Darrel said:Nice mark. Type could work...shrink it by half and space it out a bit.

cerise said:Thanks Darrel I'm working on it at the moment, the name will eventually be shorter so that will be easier

revolvedesign said:I really like this design, however... as for the colours, I am not liking the gradient, as I have a very strong feeling it is one of the default (radial) ones in illustrator. But other than that, really nice work IMO :D

cerise said:@ revolvedesign - Thanks, the colours are slightly different than the default gradient, (I know the ones you mean though).
Oct. 28 '08
cerise said:I stand for no default fonts or colours (except black and white)

THEArtistT said:Best design in your showcase so far. I don't know why I passed it by before. As a designer for a very specific industry, it must be hard coming up with new design treatments for essentially the same subject over and over. You're doing a spectacular job.

Mason Roberts said:Perhaps a script font would help? Or maybe your own handwritten style vectorized??

cerise said:Word of advice fellow designers, make sure you are present when the signage company are putting up the signage. Had an unpleasant suprise when I got to work today. AARGH!!!!!!!!!!
Mar. 03 '09
hindmarshdesign said:did they change the font? install it upside down? space the elements wrongly???? Seriously you have to watch signage people every step of the way...like vultures they pull apart your work and then even have the guts to regurgitate you a proof of your logo with a brand new font!
Okay that was a generalisation but i have too many bad experiences!

hindmarshdesign said:and for all those smar alecs, yes i outline everything and group it so they don't get the wrong impression.

cerise said:They put the horse on a frosted white background (not black) in several areas around the building...but I have since complained and they are reprinting the strips. It's such a stress when you get anyone to print something generally, but signage companies can really take the law into their own hands sometimes.

theartistt said:Lost a job once because I believed what a print rep told me. Promised she could deliver but her company could not. It was a nightmare. It was a huge project and a lot went right and I was able to solve one problem no one thought could be solved, but all it takes is one dropped ball. No matter how much you trust your vendors, you should always keep on top of every thing. Like you learn everything you can about your client's businesses, you have to know your vendor's business, too.

cerise said:Word! Trish.
Anyway you'll be stoked to know that they didn't stuff up the external signage and it's sort of a sigh of relief today.

cobaltcow said:nice use of colour - however i feel that the image and text are not balanced (maybe a little bottom-heavy).
