The blue version has slightly more detail in it but I tried to give you everything the logo needs. It works in black and white, minimal but sleek. Of course I designed it so I would say that, lol and also after looking at this screen I have tunnel vision but hope you like it. If you want more "dazzle" though I'm willing to give it a shot, I'm actually finding this job fun, for once someone's saying "no to clipart" and demands quality. I like that, even if I'm not necessarily the one to provide it.
Another concept :- First of all thanks for feedback on every entry submitted, which is the best way to get most out from a participant. Secondly, the glowing/shinning effects you referred are not scalable (you need to rasterize that shape drawn with pen tool and only after that you can apply blur, sumg tools etc to make it looks like real smoke and in that process although it may look good in certain sizes, but overall ... like if your reduce its size or enlarge it, it will not look as good as it was in a 'fixed' size). Regards
Feedback for everyone: Herdish: Sorry this looks too standard for me and doesn't fit the concept requirements. stellah57: I like the unique approach but it just doesn't stand out as a brandable design that has that wow factor to it. pinksky: Love the vibrant effect on this new design but would prefer to keep the colours as the set ones. Purple and pink just doesn't work with me. bakerbaker: I like the idea of having the i as the ecig. However the design just looks a bit too plain at the moment. gamelord: This design is really great. Its one of my favourites at the moment. Its simplistic but has a nice eye candy type feel to it. Good job! incomebiz: Your 3rd variation is defitneley on track. However just not too much of a fan of the font texture and the Grey smoke. tickey: Love this new design. Currently its my favourite so far. Its clean, simple but holds that elegant look to it. Really good job Also with the link I posted a couple of posts ago might have been mis interpreted. Not looking for those effects. But just the wow factor that they have. You see them and go wow that looks great/awesome. Thats what Im looking for here.
I like the new smoke. Would it be possible to use that on your second design as I like the 2nd one better. Thanks Aion
Dakouten: I like the look but it doesn't fit the concept requirements. Need the logo to have an ecig in it. Tickey: Thanks looks superb!
Dakouten: This is actually a really brilliant design and I really love it. I would say along with tickey's design its one of my favourites. No changes needed. Really good job. Great work!
Dakouten: Another great design. Keep concepts coming if you wish as they seem to be all very good The 1st one is still my favourite though thus far. MantisArt: This concept looks nice however I would prefer the ecig to be separate from the font. I would like it to stand out quite a bit and be the main focus of the design.
masjacky: The ecig seems to be a bit distorted and thus looks a bit weird. Also the font doesn't look too appealing. However it is on the right track.
