Hi coolwanz, That would be great! Best regards, Christian P.S.: Please take your time (there is no need to rush)…
Updated Logo as requested (different font variations for the logo) ...........................................................................................
Year! Very good, coolwanz! More detailed feedback on the font types is coming after I have discussed them with my brothers... Thanks so far, Christian
Hello coolwanz, First of all I like to say that we really like your work and that we are very happy with the beautifully designed logo graphic. Concerning the font type for “Bunte Steine†we would prefer the main version from the centre. The font is looking quite elegant and not too fanciful. However, we are not yet perfectly happy with the design of the slogan (“Das Weblog von Mineralium.comâ€). The broad red edging is actually looking good but in the context of our blog site it is too dominant and perhaps even an overkill of color. That’s why we would like to kindly ask you to make one last revision with a different slogan design. We would prefer a plain font type similar to the original logo slogan in grey color. Would that be possible? Thanks a lot in advance! Christian @ everybody: Today it’s Sunday, 17th of February 2008 - that means the contest will end today! I do not want to abort already but at the moment coolwanz is runaway favorite.
Hi mineral, Thank you for the follow up feedback. Certainly. Revision will be forthcoming based on suggestions. regards
Updated Logo as requested (amended to a simpler slogan format and grey font) .............................................................................................................
you should get away from using the google colors (well, nearly). As stones are often do have corners and in case of better stones cut, it would be probably fitting to have such a diamond / gemstone cut like logo. RKL's logo in a bit more edgy style would work for me. Plus kudos for using the correct article on blog.
it is not about owning them, they of course dont - thought there might be discussion about if you use them to similar to them. it is not about them suing you or anything but what users associate with it. if a customer looks at it and subconciously thinks "google" he or she is distracted. The same kind of colours just differently like with the design of coolwanz do not have the problem.
Dear contestants, The scheduled period has expired, that means the contest is terminated with immediate effect. Please do not post any new designs any longer! Thank you very much again for the enthusiastic participation in this contest, lasting to the bitter end. And the winner is: coolwanz @coolwanz: As promised in the announcement you win the 100$! Congratulations on your beautiful designed logo concept. You have convinced us with a very professional and colorful logo design. It certainly will upgrade the image of our blog site “Bunte Steineâ€. Many thanks for a completely satisfying performance! From your last revisions with the grey lettering of the slogan (“Das Weblog von Mineralium.comâ€) we choose the third (bottom) version as our final logo. Please send us a private message with your PayPal details to pay the prize to your account! I will send you our private E-Mail address for the PSD-version.

I appreciate that you were always listening very careful to our wishes and you belong to the few hoe could guess our taste very well. I still love your original logo entry (with the smaller version of the dot on the i). With it you have been into the lead for many days and looked like the safe winner for a while, but unfortunately only one can win in the end. In this exceptionally case we like to appreciate your work with a “special award†of 25$ (please send us your PayPal details as well).

Thanks for a great job to everyone! Best wishes, Christian www.mineralium.com P.S.: Of course this won’t be our last contest…
Hi Christian, Thank you very much for selecting my design. I would also like to take this opportunity to commend you for a very well managed contest. You have given everyone a very detailed and sincere feedback all throughout the duration of the contest. It made every single effort by designers a pleasant and a progressive one. Thank you. Certainly, we can do those sizes as well. PM is on its way. Congrats to RNHalawi, and to everyone as well. Kudos.
