    I like this but would like to see some revision:

    GRANDRAPIDS needs a small space between D and R
    The Font is good, GRAND RAPIDS, I would like to see it in the color blue, like the blue in your logo #52
    Change the icon to a red with the text carpet cleaning in white or black, also would like to see the green color icon (as you have in post #42) with carpet cleaning text in red

    The shape in white and red is nice, font for carpet cleaning is good.
    The business name is Grand Rapids Carpet Cleaning and the lay out seems to leave a question as to the real name.
    I think the shape leaves a lot of real estate open and has nothing as to creativity.

    Thanks

    I like the layout and colors you have with the text. Maybe in another Font. The big G and S with carpet cleaning inside is cool, I like it.
    The icon of the state of Michigan in blue is nice, on the left side, good. The font on the GR needs change and text needs to be 50% smaller, the red marks got to go.

    I hope to see your revisions

    I'm really liken the two (2) concepts by knique and dbdesign, One of them will be the winner if they can do revisions and have proper files.
    I would also like to pay the second place prize for the file and copy rights.

    This contest is almost wraped up (Final / Over ) and dont want you to submit any logos unless you really want too, I have pretty much made my mind up on one or the others concept.

    Okay, Thanks for the heads up and feedback, I wish every Contest Holder gave such concise and feasible feedback regardless of age or language style, the designs would upgrade here tremendously cause there are alot of talented artist here on DP, However creativity becomes limited by the imagination, communication, and sometimes the extent of a persons pocketbook..lol enough of the Humanities lecture here, would be my ultimate post, I think, it is a full design the actual design in pixels would not fit here, and just to give an idea in the power of Vector graphics, I have re-sized it however the full version shows the details, I hope it makes you proud -

    yes I have the edits to the other design, they are coming....

    P.S. the blank one on the bottom the bars or frames what have us, a great place for phone number or est Since or even a slogan Carpet Cleaning the Grand Rapids way or something....thanks again

    This is a very detailed image of Grand Rapid, Mi. The lithograph of the city is very unique. I would think this concept would still look good with out the lower loop.
    When printed on paper from a ink jet, the dark blue or black with the red text blends in were its hard to read the letters. The text should be in a light blue.

    Thank you for this amazing geographic logo concept.

    It's weird the comments keep coming from my first thoughts i went with Lightblue on the fonts for the tone on tone, However if that one would be chosen, I would send it through some color processing to eliminate bleed from the print file however the one color two tones would be the best printing option at cost and simplicity, I am running through several fonts, keep that gradient or toss it on the VAN, did you like that font in the the Framed Design, just the shape not the effect or maybe, I was running it through for the edit options, well maybe we will see....Thanks again, edits should be up within the next couple of hours...Got diapers to change, as well if you get my drift..lol

    I like what you have done with the framing logo, how ever, I was not looking for such a complicated logo. I'm a new start up with limited funding. To reproduce the logo concept in post #70 would cost a bit more and when in small prints, not a visually detailed view.
    I did not mean to say or impose that the colors were bleeding into each other when printed on a ink jet, I should say the the dark blue and dark red is kind of given the over all logo a dark image. I want to have happy color colors :)

    I print the logo concepts to see what they look like on paper, 99% of all used logos will be on paper some day.

    I really like the logo on the Van's side.

    Van Log With Edits and some font variations van mix and match, like maybe like the GR on one but not the other maybe you would want a combination of another set of fonts and sense I created the style from scratch, any font you choose like one you may want not shown I can edit it to match

    Any way to add GRcarpetcleaning.com to the icon in a cool way?

    Most of the Fonts are italisied.

    The last two seem cool, but italic.

    Can I see two more non italic fonts?

    Thanks

    I like the font.
    Icon looks heavey in the center and distorts the name.

    I posted a concept 2 days ago, useing a icon in the center. The words (Grand Rapids) on the left side of the (icon) and (Carpet Cleaning) on the right side of the icon.
    You haveing the logo in the center, is a concept I wanted to see, but you have the words (Grand Carpet) and not (Grand Rapids)

    Thanks

    HELP!

    Contest is Over, but no real winners, I'm not satisfied with completed logos.
    I have a problem, I'm impatient. and spent alot of my time here on this topic. I can not seem to get any of my favorite concepts reworked by the contestants the way I want to see them.

    I will call this a draw and pay each contestant $10.00 to dbdesign and $12.50 to knique I will not receive any files or will I use there logos, but I will have another contest, and use their concepts for a draft of what I want.

    Is this fair?

    I've not entered the contest, but been watching it and my two cents is that is unfair to the two designers in the running: dbdesign and knique - it is really time consuming and hard to come up with original concepts and if those are original concepts that you like, paying $12.50 to them and then offering more money to another designer to work off their concept is kind of unfair. It happens all the time on DP, and it is just not fair to hard working designers. Keep in mind that not all designers are on DP all hours of the day, some are on in the evenings, some in the mornings, I would wait at least 48 hours for revisions, because sometimes revisions take time too and if a designer is working on a revision and you close the contest while they are in the midst of revisions, that is heart breaking.

    Anyway, I am not one of the contestants, but this is just my two cents in an effort to make DP better for designers and publishers ... DP is a great forum for original ideas (and sometimes recycled ideas) and often times I think publishers do not totally understand what designers go through, and vice versa ... anyway, good luck to both knique and dbdesign - both are awesome designers and very professional ...
