Creat3--- I like the coloring of the first new version, stick with that, it complements the tree well. But I meant to keep the word THE sideways like you had it but stay with the small text size...I drew on your pic to show Dakouten-- Looks much more bonsai ish But I also went and drew on yours too...would you mind filling in some leaves across the trunk where I drew the red line? FrostenWD--- Shop at iStock for a pic of a bonsai I have alredy offered to pay for the image if I like your design, for now just use the watermarked image. I don't want to get in trouble because I have someone elses pic in my logo without paying for it. Do something with the font, I don't want a real bold font, but you can explore beyond basic windows fonts. I don't like the 2 tones of green, but I'm not stuck on green and brown either. Keep to 2 colors on the logo text please.
Thank you for the feedback i hop you like this Edit: New version its not from istock i drew new bonsai
Here's my entry, hope ya like it, if you need anything changed let me know. Stock taken from iStockPhoto. Feedback appreciated.
Sorry creat3, this is the color I meant...Im so picky Everyone else, I'm liking the look of the real tree next to the logo, sorry to make you waste your time drawing them up. Please check through iStock and pick a tree to use, try to use different trees in your designs than others use in theirs
Try flipping the tree so it leans towards the text, also try some different fonts....here are a couple you could try... http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Arrr_Matey.htm http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Cadmium_Egg.htm
Ok don't like those as much, thinner version of original font would be better. The boldness of the original font overpowers the tree, the last two you did fit the tree well with how thick they are, but their too wild. So long as nobody posts an objection I want to end the contest in about 7-9hrs. It will be between the time of 10-12pm central us. If you need more time to get submissions in please just post here and tell me to wait, I did originally say tuesday night so this is cutting it short.
