Updated Logo(removed/simplified some elements, used bolder colors) .................................................................................................
Biziboy, it's probably advisable not to work off templates, or if you do, tell the CH that you are. People usually assume that a logo is unique, except perhaps the symbols that photoshop or whatever graphic application you are using offers. -Hecky
It's looking pretty good. I like the colors better than the original. What you have in the house looks like circuit traces on a circuit board, not ethernet cables. This is not just my opinion. Also, what do you think about going back to one element of the original that you changed. ie: the .tv at the end of HomeTek which is in a circle. I liked that look. I need to have the idea of networking in there. Appreciate the effort Duke
Hey jamess Definite improvement. The overall look is better. I understand why you used two monitors (for the idea of networking) but I don't know if that really gets the idea across. I'm going to show this to a few people & see what it makes them think of. I see monitors because I'm into computers, others may see flat screen TV's & nothing to do with networking.. As far as the HomeTek.tv on the bottom, you already have it on the top line with the .tv so the second one is redundant. Also, how about making the .tv on the top line not just smaller,like you did, but in lower case letters, too. What do you think about putting my slogan under the HomeTek.tv (making technology work for you). Duke
Hecky, I'll try, but some people want PM's which I have been doing. I understand why they want PM's but I think public postings would help everybody in the long run. Duke
jamess Wow! Thanks for being so responsive. The changes that you made were exactly what I asked for. Like I said, I am going to show yours to a few other people to see if they get the idea of networking. If not, do you have any ideas as to how you could get this across? Duke
Hey Shart I'm sorry that I missed these submissions. Because I didn't get back to you, you then went in a little different direction, & those I didn't like as much as these. I especially like the one with the globe, monitor & computer tower. How about a variation on this theme. If you could do something like this - 1) Showing the computer connecting to the world & from the world to "you" or from HomeTek.tv 2) Showing HomeTek.tv connecting to the computer & from the computer to the world 3) Anything else along those lines. Sorry I didn't get back to you right away, but to be honest your submissions are so small I missed them. If you could make them a little bigger it would be easier for me to evalualte them. I know I can click on them to make them bigger, but it is just easier if they are bigger to begin with. Like I said your last 2 logos went (in my opinion) in the wrong direction, so please just forget about those. Duke
Very good Keili. You are the only one who seems to understand the networking idea. Why don't you try a couple of variations on this theme? Thanks for the submission. Duke
Coolwanz, yours keeps improving. I glad you lost the traces in the house, but I'm not so sure about the ht inside the house. If you want to use the house why don't you try having 2 floors inside the house & connecting those with a networking cable. (& no ht). Thanks for responding so quickly. Duke
Here's where things stand right now. These are the ones that I like & why, as well as what I don't like about them. jamess A nice clean, very consistent look, used my slogan & integrated it well, but doesn't really get the idea of networking across coolwanz A very striking, professional look to it, has responded to my requests in everything but getting the idea of networking across. Keili Gets the idea of networking. Networking home/small office computers is a major part of my business & keili gets that across. The overall "look' is not as consistent or professional looking as some of the others. Shart The idea with the globe, computer, monitor & cable is very interesting. At first I didn't like the globe in there, but it definitely can be taken in an interesting direction. Different from some of the others in that it is more realistic & less stylistic. Either way is good as long as it all ties together. There are several other interesting submissions that I like, but they just don't convey what my business does. I hope you understand that I really do appreciate all your hard work. I wish that I had your artistic sense & creativity. Please keep them coming! Duke
Hecky, I see what you are trying to do, but it doesn't quite get there. How about trying the following: 1) Go back to your original submission. The colors & overall look are right on. 2) Add .tv (in small lower case letters) to the HomeTek on top & drop the HomeTek.tv on the bottom. 3) On the bottom of the HomeTek.tv put my slogan there - Making technology work for you 4) Try to make the T inside the H look like a computer. 5) Then do something like you did on the top logo of your last submission, which will hopefully look like networking 3 computers from another computer. Thanks Duke
