Yep, bank clocks we call them. Saw it a mile away even without your explanantion.**Very original. Great work bud (um...your GF I mean).
Replyi keep expecting it to flip to 2! nice!
ReplyOcular, I really effin' love this.
ReplyAh, bank clocks...I was wondering if there was another name for them. The GF is going to love reading all of your comments. :-) Thanks, guys. Nido, my buddies over at Kemso.com will most likely be doing the website for this. They do a lot of great flash work. Would be real neat to see something like that on the site. Thanks, Kult!! Lovin' your recent work (well, all of it!). Peace!
Replyto girfriend: kick-ass concept!**to ocular ink: very nice - did you try black?
ReplyThanks!! Who is 'said'? Raja, black was my initial thought as well, but felt it was way too cold for a fitness/personal wellness site. The orange, to me, reminds me of a color one would find in a sunset...evoking a new day. %3B-) Excellent point, though! Melissa says thanks to you all as well!
ReplyWhen I first saw this I immediately saw a sunset in the mark. Which by your above posts could mean new day. Nice one.
Replysaid was my on this one Kev.
Replyhehe... dont you just love typos%3B)
Replyhad to hurry b4 said ate me :-) I do it ALL the time.
ReplyARGHHH!!!!
ReplyROFLMAO!!!!! ha ha said got ya again. Hye I'm using internet explorer YOU?
ReplyI use Firefox. Basically, if I click on another page within LogoPond, I am signed out (not everytime though). Also, I'll sign in to comment on a logo...by the time I have finished my thoughts, I have been signed out. However, it shows me as being still logged in (even allows me to post a comment), but my user name disappears. Hope this helps, David.
Replyhey kev i had a similar problem for a while, i also use firefox. tell me do you log in everytime you visit logopond? i ask because what i did was tick the box that says 'remember me for a month' %26 i no longer have that problem! i dont think its firefox though, in my experience explorers really bad, firefox is normally great!
ReplyOcularInk, very nice logo and concept. Think you should know though that the new %3Ca href%3D%22http://www.microsoft.com/office/newday/default.mspx?WT.mc_id%3DGooglePaid%26WT.srch%3D1%22%3EMicrosoft Office%3C/a%3E ad campaign uses a similar clock. Like yours better though, very well done!
ReplySweet
Reply@ Nido : looks like the bug has been fixed. :-)**@ Emkay : Thank-you! And I appreciate you referencing the Microsoft Office image. Always good to know what's out there.**@ dache : Thanks, brotha!!
Replyi love the design but from distance it looked like it had a shiny %22web 2.0%22 effect and not a flip rotating calendar.**i'm not sure of a work around, perhaps make the top darker than the bottom?**awesome though.
ReplyGroovy logo, Kevin.
ReplyInteresting point, jackg. However, in my research, the bottom was always darker. Thanks, though!**Thanks, Brian. Good luck with jazz logo...I'm curious to see the final design. Later!!
ReplyHere you go, Kevin:**http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/9981
ReplyGreat logo, i am just not to sure on the need of the small day in the flip clock section. No need to repeat the name twice in the logo? *
Replyjust saw a %22Day One%22 logo from a Microsoft adthat just like this 'cept color...*
Reply@ firefly: The mark itself is intended to be a stand-alone. So, with that said, it felt right to include 'Day' twice. Also, research 'Flip Clock' in Google. You will notice, that 'Day' part in the mark is actually a clever play on what is already there.**@ attyl: And? Oh, and this has already been acknowledged by emkay.
Replyduuuude, rudeness not needed.
Replydidn't see the comment by emkay
ReplyNice concept. I agree the small 'day' is not necessary here - it's hardly visible, and in small logo sizes would probably dissapear. Also I'm not sure about the proportions and weight between the sign and inscription - it's a bit too light on the right.
Reply@attyl - I'm just tired of seeing references to other logos with nothing else being said. At least say something like...%22great minds think alike%22. :-) For all I know, you are accusing me of ripping the idea. All in all, I appreciate your feedback. I'm always looking for ways to improve. So, thanks!
Replygreat minds must think alike! i was just thinking the same thing... what you just said %3D)
ReplyLol!! We're on the same wave length, dude!!
Replylove the concept. neat idea.
Reply:-) Thanks, MK.
ReplyYou're a genius!
ReplyDay One Fitness goes live on the web. I'm not exactly sure who did the site, but it turned out nice, in my opinion.**http://www.dayonefitness.com/
ReplyVery nice clean site,your logo looks amazing!
ReplyThanks, Fabian!! :D
ReplyAWESOME DUDE. Ya done good if I say so myslef %3C typo LOL!
Reply:)
ReplyBeautiful work.
ReplyI like it, clean and clever.*As several have mentioned the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was the Microsoft Office, new day, ad campaign. Outside of that it is great.
ReplyI love the mark. I'm not as crazy about the typography, and the loose kerning, but at least it doesn't compete with that great mark.
ReplyHey Occular... If you're wondering who made the site for Day One it's these guys... www.hydragraphik.com. I know a couple people that worked there and I was just browsing through their site when I came across your logo. Sweet logo btw!
ReplyThanks everyone.**@ muku : Ah, thanks man. Good to know. And thanks for the kind words.
Replybrilliant idea
ReplyFabulous - you are a great designer, Kevin - thank you for taking time to critique my logos as I embark on this new branch of my business.
ReplyJust amazing. I love the concept.
ReplyThanks guys. :-)**@ Kelly : Keep up all the great work. You rock!
ReplyCongratulations Kevin!
Replyyeah.. well done bud!
ReplyWell done Kevin!
ReplyFlippin' great and congrats too Kev!
ReplyCheers, ya'll!!
Replycongratz bro
ReplyThanks, bud!! Ya know, your FIDO logo is one of my all time favorites. I actually forgot it was yours for a second. :-P Nice work, dude.
ReplyI think it's unsuccessful. Logo's should stay visually consistent large and small. If this logo was any smaller, the word DAY on the graphic would disappear.**Great concept - bad execution.
ReplyThis was created primarily for the web, but I appreciate your concern.
ReplyThis one is so cool, it feels energetic, time to get back in shape.....I prefer this type than the one they use, this one feels in shape, XD
ReplyBTW Kev, congrats!! I almost forgot. Well deserved my friend.
ReplyCongrats my friend! :)
ReplyI Love It. Very Creative
Replywu nice:)
Reply@ borinagge : Thanks Daniel. I too prefer this type treatment. Glad you noticed that.**@ logomotive : Thanks Mike. Means a lot dude.**@ dado : Thanks buddy!**@ nima : Thank-you!**@ mrblong : Thanks Brion.**@ canhur : Thanks dude!
ReplyAwesome
Replystunning...good job!
ReplyThanks Olivier and Niall. I appreciate it.
Reply%22Here%22:http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Logos-starting-2005/235848 is something interesting (3rd logo).
ReplyInterestingly enough it seems to be the only logo missing from this %22guy's portfolio here on LP%22:http://logopond.com/members/profile/showcase/11798.
ReplyThe logo police always make me feel secure :) Love logopond.
Reply@Art Machine Interesting find, Julian.*@epsilon Hmm, that is interesting, Alex.*@lundeja Lol! Me too, Jared.
ReplyNice to see it's talked about me in here too. Pretty bad that it's again today for a bad thing. I explained %22here%22:http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/65567 my process. Epsilon i've got nothing against you but i suggest you do a better counting next time. I've got many projects that i haven't yet uploaded in here. I use this account for a few months (forgot about how many) and my policy is to upload just 2-3 logos at a time to permit users give a feedback. I consider uploading everything in one day will diminished that opportunity. **Again i am sorry for this unpleasant situations and i am really sorry and disappointed that this kind of similarities attract more interest and comments than most of my other projects uploaded.
ReplyReally sorry Kevin for this a bit off-topic comment on you project page but i felt the need to give an explanation.
ReplyThe only thing to do is take your word for it. However, it is a very unfortunate situation. If the proper research had been done prior to starting your logo project, I'm sure the Day 1 Fitness logo would have come up.
ReplyI must thank you for the credit / trust. About how unfortunate is this... i can't say anything more. You are right about the research, but sometimes there are so many things to be taken care and look out for that i found it pretty difficult to make 99%25 sure of the originality of any idea. Thank you for understanding, and again sorry for this situation as i guess it's unpleasant for you as it is for me (or maybe even more). *Really hope to chat from now on at some more interesting / constructive / creative topics%3B there's no need to say that you've got a really nice portfolio.
ReplyGreat work, I love how the flip calendar/clock implies that there will be a day 2 and that this company will keep you focused and coming back in the future.
ReplyThanks guys. Hey, so I just got an email letting me know there's a guy on Elance using a lot of logos from the Pond as his own. Check it out. http://www.elance.com/experts/pakistan_sindh_karachi/logos_creative_graphic_design/1677771?catid%3D10184%23tab%3D0
Replyblegh, that's just awefull!**unlike your logo :)
ReplyUnbelievable, even got Herb's Families logo in there.Your Inksect and just about one from everyone in there but none of his own work.
ReplyAlways loved this one Kev.
ReplyYou figure with the design community's reputation of finding these thieves they would eventually stop. Morons! Thanks for the support, Floris, Mike and Joe.
Replythat guys is off from elance now! congrats!
ReplyGood to know. Thanks, Saurabh!**
ReplyCheck it out, Kev, we're being ripped again: http://miniv.ueuo.com/
ReplyARGH!!!!! Here we go again. Just got a quote request from a new client as well saying he was on freelancer.com and saw the D1F logo on there in someone's portfolio. Lovely.
ReplyThis one is totally awesome Kevin.
ReplyThanks, Milosz. You're awesome!
ReplyI don't know how I missed this one of yours, but I really like it. But now I feel like I got ta go home and exercise.
ReplyHaha, thanks Mikey!
