|  I liked your ideas, they were good. But one thing to consider when looking for Logos is production. There going to be marketed as said, and production costs count. Your ideas were great, but would be harder and more expensive to produce. The fewer colors used, the better(Production costs jump up considerably with every color added to production.), the less intricate detail, the better (Because intricate details dont reproduce well, especially when sized down. It becomes hard to see, and jumbled looking.) Plus, simple, clean designs just stick to memory better. Look at Nike, Pepsi, Steeda, Chevorlet, and Ford. While he looses out big time in orginality, he shows an obvouis lack of imagination and total lack of creativity, he wins in simplicity. You win out big in orginality, your ideas were clean and fresh. Dont become like me and get discouraged when one or two contests or showings dont go all that well, keep in it. Learn from mistakes, and learn what to expect. Best thing to do to give you and edge in a contest like that is, To know what the "Customer" wants. |

| Also have to agree with Mercury. We learned alot about that in class and how you have to keep it simple because of production costs. If they were using your logo say for the site then I'm sure it would of won because online it doesn't make a difference but ink is money and the more you use the more money it's going to cost. But don't worry, in my eye you won.

| Dang.....those are some good designs you had. I definitely like them a lot better than his. But all these guys are right. Simplicity pays off when it comes to production prices. I see the brake light on that car doing the "burnout." So obviously it's being powerstalled. And there is just barely some tiresmoke. I bet you're right tireburner!! It probably is a 4-banger!!

| Yes Yes it is a 4 popper. Me an my bf were just having some fun behind his old high school. That was dry pavement and the car is an auto and both tires were spinning. LOL Its nothing to write home about but we thought it was cool. I suppose you guys are right about the contest. Oh well I guess the new logo is easier to remember thanks anyway *haley*

| Actually, I think they would have been way better off going with her design rather than what they did. Saving the money on colors is of course a reasonable concern, but in the age of zillions of dot.coms and mustang groups its IMO more profitable overall to be noticed. Loving art and all things artistic, I would most definetely notice that design in a crowd of silly running pony T shirts. I'm sorry you didn't win their contest; you certainly would have won mine, if I needed a logo. And trust me, I'm not free with the talent compliments. Your design was clever, simplistic yet extremely creative. Keep up the great work! |

| Make sure u keep yours. Quote:
lol I'm not sure, my 4-blurb did it better then that, and I had wider tires. My ranger did it better then my mustang with a 4-blurb, and it was a 4x4.

| Ok let me give you some insite as to why I would not choose your logo. Just an FYI I have a printing background, and I too, have been in the same situation as you having my logo be not chosen. Your logo would be to complex to print. Its very difficult to print photos, epecially full color photos. That being said, the 'other' entery would be easier to produce. Now I do agree with you, your design IS better, and his horse is NOT even centered. My *** could have done a better job. But sometimes you just can win. Good design and better luck next time.
