    Hello talented people.

    I am looking for a new logo. It's a sentence that says the following:

    Made exclusively from
    American Grade A Milk


    Requirements:

    It must look American and therefore you must use the red white and blue colours. You can use your touches but IT MUST LOOK AMERICAN

    I want this logo to look impressive and very professional (One look at the logo should create the feeling of extreme quality, trustworthiness and professionalism)

    You can use other American symbols if you wish: eagle, stars, stripes etc, but it must look professional and corporate and trustworthy

    You can write the following words: made exclusively from around or above American Grade A Milk. This American Grade A Milk is the essential part of the logo. You can place it on an oval, a rectangle, a badge etc. It's up to you.

    I wish to end this within 48hrs. Payment via paypal.

    Any questions please ask in the thread or pm me. If you intend to enter this contest just drop a line saying you're going to enter it.

    hey xara, thanks for getting this started. It is very creative but it's not exactly what I'm after. It certainly has am American theme which is something that I most definitely want. First of all, I need something more corporate. Second of all, I would like it to be more compact. Yours is a little too wide so maybe you have to place the word American on top of Grade A Milk. I really like how you placed the American flag on the milk carton. That is mighty creative. However, I need something more corporate, more professional looking and that is why the milk carton won't work. I am not saying yours is not professional, I am only saying because of the icon it looks a touch cartoonish. I need something more corporate. I really appreciate your submission.

    match, thanks for the entry. The eagle looks good but the rest of the logo is not corporate enough. I think you need to use a different font, a more bolder one perhaps. As it is, it's perhaps still a touch cartoonish and I need something more corporate.

    night, thanks for considering this. I will be in bed in a couple of hours but I will surely come back in the morning with feedback. I really like your style and I look forward to your submission.

    xara, no rush. I will wait. Besides I have no choice anyway as I need to lie down the flag in about an hour or so :D

    match, thanks for the new one but I am not sure you read my feedback. I mentioned I was after something that looks more corporate but I don't think your changes reflect that. I also suggested using a bolder font and you did the opposite. It's just not going in the right direction since in my view it's still lacking that corporate look.

    xaralee, you are very creative today. That is another very creative concept you've come up with. It's stylish, it's American and it's also a lot more compact. However, although it's mighty creative it is also a touch too complex and I was hoping for something simpler. Again, as much as I like that icon, I still feel it's giving the logo a cartoonish touch and even though it looks good, I want to stay away from a cartoonish look. It's hard giving you feedback right now because you always entered my contests with a positive attitude and unfortunately I have to say no again. I am attaching a logo below that will perhaps give you an idea about what I mean by a more corporate look. This was done by DaveyBoy when he won a previous contest. So for anyone else who thinks: "What in the world does proteindude mean by corporate look?" here's an example.

    match, honestly mate, it's not easy giving feedback when you have contestants that are top guys such as yourself and also try hard to come up with entries that please the ch. At the same time I don't want to say yes it's ok only so I make you feel good. Also, when I provide feedback please don't feel obliged to do changes. I feel it's my duty as a ch to always provide feedback especially since you guys put effort and time into this. So I am not requesting changes, I am only providing feedback. This new one is better but only just. The font is definitely much more improved but now it's a little harder to read. I also think there is too much white space and I think that should be filled somehow. Again, these are just my thoughts.

    xara, thanks again for the positive attitude. Honestly it really bugs me because your last submission is a top one just unfortunately not entirely suitable for my needs this time

    I just read my post and match, the reason it's a little harder to read now is because of the stars.

    Ofiri0: good to see you again. Thanks for entering this. You (as well as others) will probably get irritated hearing me say the same thing again: the entries are ok but are not corporate enough. They look a little cartoonish and I was after something more corporate. I think you also tried a little too hard and they look more like election icons rather than a clean, corporate look. Here's what I think: I think the rectangle looks good and perhaps just keep the rectangle as it is and use an American flag as the background could be enough to achive that winning look. As they are now, it looks like you tried a little too hard and there seems to be too many stars.

    Xaralee, thanks for the new ones. Definitely a step in the right direction. Looks like now you understand what I mean by corporate look. I am not sure about that round circle behind the A. It's a personal thing but I never liked that type of circle. It's a great concept what you provided even though it's simple. Sometimes simple is the best. It's simple, it's stylish and it's easy to read which is great and it's also elegant. The only fault I can find is that it's lacking a bit of an American theme. Perhaps you can use a faint image of an American flag as a background or use a slightly bolder font and use a flag just for the letters? I am not a designer but I think this is all that's missing (a bit of an American theme).
