    Hello again talented people.

    I have a bit of a challenge for you as something is giving me a bit of a headache but I am sure you can help.

    I want to turn this xgb logo look into one that simply says kol.

    [​IMG]

    The xgb logo is my own so you can use any elements from it that you wish. I love this logo but I need it to simply say kol. I'd like to make kol as similar as possible to the existing xgb logo looks wise. Sounds simple except once you change the letters it becomes a little challenging. I don't need it to be identical so you can use a similar font, I just need the look of xgb https://www.wetransfer.com/download...d1b5e83893e7ca28fb2b24d920150924161215/af886e here are the files just in case you need them

    Please no PM entries. Any questions please ask. I am hoping to end this in less than 48hrs.

    Winner gets $22 via paypal

    Thanks for the entries guys. As you can see (I certainly do) it is quite a challenge to make these letters look as good as the combination in the original logo.

    Dreamer05: I like the first one better because in the second one there seems a little too much space between the letters. However, even in the first one and although there are only three letters, this is already a busy looking logo so therefore putting the logo on an angle doesn't seem to work. I know the original one was on a slight angle but this would look better if there was no angle I think.

    sikka2010: yours looks the best so far. But there are already some things I would change. Because of the brush stroke effect or whatever it is called, this logo already looks a little busy. So what I would do is straighten the logo so it appears in an almost straight line at the bottom and perhaps even straighten the O and slightly reduce the length of the foot of the L. Other than that it looks good and I look how the letters seem to huddle together.

    Harvey13: thank you for entering this. I do not like the empty space inside the o. Overall the logo looks good but I think the one above yours looks a little better as there seems to be less empty space between the letters.

    brainstormingin: thank you for the entry but somehow it looks a little imbalanced. It's liks starting from the K to the L, the letters are shrinking and there is also empty space between the K and also inside the o and I think it would look better without space between them.

    Hi guys. I am really sorry for the late reply. I will have some feedback later today (my time). For some reason I didn't receive the notifications but will definitely get back to you.

    Sorry guys but I do not like any of them. Maybe these letters do not go well with my font/idea. I hate delaying my decision but I will have to sleep on it a little more before deciding but I think tomorrow I will decide either way. No other logo before gave me such a headache. So I hope to be back tomorrow with the final answer.

    Dreamer05: looks much much better.
    I want to apologise to everyone that entered this contest. I know this is very frustrating for you and it also is frustrating for me because I am really caught up with a lot of things to do and can hardly reply properly. This logo is the most difficult I've ever had done here at DP. I know you are disappointed with my delays (I am too) but I will come back with more feedback and a winner definitely and Dreamer05 entry has increased my confidence I will get the logo I want/need. Again thanks for your patience and I will sleep on it (again) and reply tomorrow.

    Thanks for not giving up on me guys.

    Dreamer05: I really like the top one but I am wondering if I can see it in the same effect as the bottom one. So use the same font as the top one and give it the same effect as the bottom one.

    sikka2010: I like the one on the left better simply because the O is not too much on an angle. Only one change I would ask and that is for the one on the left, can you please try and fill the white space below and above the arms of the Kjust like you did to the O

    I finally believe we are getting close to what I am after.

    Guys I am sorry for all the trouble with this logo. I simply can't decide so, I'll split the prize two ways so $11 goes to Dreamer05 and also $11 goes to sikka2010. Please pm me so I can send you the payment. Please note you do not have to send any files as I will not be using these logos but at least I know that I tried and this look just won't be suitable for the project. I will be starting another logo contest soon so please consider that as well.
