$20 Avatar (kind of) simple contest, payment via paypal

Tranzemaniac: #14 Looks better with the milk logo on the left, only because it's on an angle. The bags look good also but still the font doesn't do it for me. I'm not a big fan of black. I think I would have liked a red/white combo better than having the black in there.

watari: Hmmm.... you are frustrating me a little You come up with some magnificent logos and yet this avatar doesn't seem to look as good as your magnificent logos. It just doen's look modern enough somehow. I don't like the font and I think the "frame" would need to be thinner, more stylised to look modern. Everything else looks good but needs to look a bit more modern and stylish.

evolva: sorry but not going in the right direction. I appreciate the creativity but the background is too dark and the motifs you used take away from the bag and from the pr*oteindirect

zyndel: thanks for entering this. You must be thinking of Christmas lol It looks very Christmassy somehow with red and white and green. I don't like the font you used but the bag comes through clearly and so does the milk logo. But overall it's a touch too colourful and a touch plain for my taste.

reject: nice but not enough top beat some of the other ones. The background definitely stands out but I think you have the wrong choice font for pr*oteindirect. It could look better with some slight improvements as it is a pleasant entry but not an outstanding entry.

Mr willhaynes himself !! Thanks for taking part in this. Nice entry, nice concept but the execution of this concept lacks a little. I like the way you displayed the bags but the milk logo should be on top of the corner of the bag not behind it. protien (the way you wrote it) is French for protein but I prefer protein. I don't like the font. I keep saying this a lot but the fonts that I liked in this contest are the ones where pr*oteindirect was written in lower case. It's maybe me but the background looks a little towards gray and I think would look better if left plain white though the gray seems to be growing on me. I'm not sure about the thickness of the red "frame"I think the "frame" needs to somehow be stylised a little more to look more modern. Overall a very pleasant entry and one of my favorite so far.

 

My entry:

 

Thank you for the feedback.
I gave another try.

 

quicksilver: thanks for the entry: very stylish and very pleasant entry. Something just doesn't feel right though. The bags look good, the milk logo looks good and so does the background. But still something's not all there and it bugs me cause I can't figure out exactly what it is. I think (and I may be wrong) it's the blurry effect around the word protein perhaps which makes it more blurry because of the fainted rays on the background. But I could be wrong

Lady: thanks but I actually liked the first one better. It seems to me like you just tried a little too hard. For example all I would have liked for the first one was to change pr*oteindirect to red and the same with the top and bottom effects. I like the pr*oteindirect font you used. So if you wanted to try it again just use a simple red (coca cola red) and just change the font and the red top and left and that would be it. I think sometimes simple is the way to go.

 

Thanks Lady. Appreciated. Looks better now

 

Made some changes.

 

quick update



Can adjust it to any size you want! (well... maybe not ANY size )

 

quiksilver: thanks. It looks better. Just a personal thing but I don't like the gradient for the word protein

willhaynes: much, much better and I think it's definitely my favorite right now. Much more stylish with the new frame though I still think I like the first one as far as the bags go, the only difference being that the milk logo should be on top. I don't mind at all if the milk logo was actually covering that corner of the bag. Great work. Oh yes, and thanks for the advice regarding size. You've just saved me a lot of time

I will let this run for a few more hours and then I will be choosing the finalists, I will request a couple of small changes and afterwards we'll wrap this up. In anyone else is considering this, now would be the time to enter.

 

Great Design willhaynes.

 

Tranzemaniac: thanks for the new ones. You keep on improving. the black one would look better in red because my main colours are red and white and perhaps that is something I should have specified at the beginning of this contest. I think I like the second one better but only because it has red in it. But the top one looks good also.

ecovers: first of all thanks for entering this contest. It's a tough one. I see you've broken tradition and you added the original logo which is a plus. Perhaps you could keep the original logo at the top and just simply write pr*oteindirect in normal font somewhere at the bottom (or vice versa). I like your idea, I like what you're trying to do but I don't think you nailed it just yet. Those red effects/shapes in the corner don't fully grab me. I'm trying to guess what you could do to improve but I can't cause I'm not that good of a designer.

 

Final Try:

 

Tranz: I appreciate it. I feel it's my duty as a CH to give you feedback regardless of whether I think you have a winning entry or not. You mispelled protein. It looks much better in red and that corner part can also be used to display the price which is a good idea. The one place where I think you made a mistake is by placing the bags too much to the right and so the image looks a little inbalanced. I appreciate your positive attitude and if you're among the finalists I will then ask for some changes.

 

Slight alteration made, Good luck with the contest Cobba!

 

Thanks for the feedback and goodluck to everyone ... good contest

 

ecovers: looking better and much improved

tranz: this is not just a good contest but a tough one as well. Lots of good and strong entries and it's going to be a bit hard to choose the winning one. Your new one with the gray background bags also looks very good and very creative.
