@EM-Group:

Thanks for the entry. You've submitted a promising entry...

I like the graphic as designed. Before seeing this, I would have guessed I'd prefer upwards arrows to indicate going up in search engine rankings, but the graphic will do as is.

The 3 colors chosen for the words "visible", "online" and "marketing" don't seem right. The green seems too strong at the end. When I saw the entry, I immediately was thinking: why is the "m" in ".com" green? Then I clued in that the colors in ".com" match the colors for visible, online and marketing.

With a little more work, you could have a contender here...

Thanks.

Pierre.

 

Here's My Concept, Please let me know if you would like to see any changes regarding the design.



Feedback Appreciated. Thank you.

 

@khnfrhn:
Wow! Great concept, I really like the logo as well as the choice of colors. I also like the way you've used color for the initials of each word.

Could you please re-arrange the elements to have the logo on the same line as the text --as in the first entry.

This entry is the one to beat so far!

Pierre.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Sure i'll arrange the logo in the same line as the text.

 

Here's the Revision :

 

@khnfrhn:

Thank you very much for the revision. I think the logo is still a little too big in proportion with the text, but I can see what the final product will look like, so there's no need to submit a second revision. We can deal with this near the end of the contest.

The only missing element is the "traditional" arrow to indicate a rise in search engine rankings, however you still got a great design. So far, that is the one to beat.

Pierre.

 

Alright. I will try and modify the design for the arrow thing.

Wait for the entry.

 

@denver666

Thanks for your submission.

I like the way you've handled the text, although there's perhaps room for improvement in the choice of colors. As is, it's merely alright.

The logo doesn't work for me. The startburst is too much; I also fail to understand what the logo represents.

Pierre.

@DrDesigner

Very nice, original submission!

While I like your color scheme, I am a little worried the shade of blue is too dark for the header background in my theme. So, I'd likely prefer a lighter shade of blue.

Great work. I already see that picking a winner will be challenging.

Pierre.

@Dakouten

Thanks for your submission.

I like the simplicity of your design.

The contrast between the white and the light blue is too stark for me. And while I conceptually like the logo, it seems to be missing something --depth maybe.

Also, if you choose to resubmit, you may want to try to render on a blue background as this is what the theme is using.

Pierre.

 

Here's my entry:



Feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
DrD

 

Thank you for the feedback. I will resubmit the design with a lighter background.

 

I agree. There are many great entries and khnfrhn is still a very strong contender.

Please do. Don't worry about giving me a headache which design to choose.

Pierre.

 

Thank you for your feedback. I'll be making a revision soon.

Cheers,
DrD

 

Thanks. BTW, all other designs have the logo in line with the text --which is what I had in mind. However, your design seems to work fine with the logo on top.

So, don't feel obliged to change this but I wanted to bring this to your attention.

Pierre.

 

Very Nice concept DrD. =]

 

@Xdexter: Thanks.

@CH: No problem.
