Our guide''s input is essential to this process. Starting Wednesday, September 26 he will be on the water until Thursday, October 4. Feedback and eliminations will be very sporadic, if any, until the 4th. Thank you for your patience.


In meantime, providing versions of your logos into only one submission is helpful. Also, providing an interpretation of your logo as an abstract would be great too. For example, a complete graphic logo with text is what we are after, but give us how it would look if it was just one color, stamped on our boats. Thanks.

Hello, this is the head guide.  Thanks for some great submissions so far!  While I definitely understand the desire for feedback, I don''t think we are in a good position to give it except for tweaks on something we already like a lot but something just isn''t quite clicking.  We have some favorites among the submissions so far and they really don''t have all that much in common.  We haven''t really liked any that were font based, we prefer a logo and we''ve seen some good ones, and it seems we haven''t picked any designs with literal images of bikes and kayaks, but maybe that will change.  Good design is clever, eye appealing, and communicates a message about the business.  If we knew exactly what we were looking for we''d just commission a local artist, so use our guidance but going with your own design insights is important too.  Everybody has such different perspectives, which is the amazing part of this competition platform.  Good luck!

Hi, I appreciate that you dont feel able to give feed back on all designs but I would be highly grateful if you could provide some for me purely because it would help for my design apprenticeship course. Hope im not a bother.
Regards,
Kayleigh

Hi - I know the horse is already out of the barn, : ) - but if you'll pardon me saying so, on the winning logo it is very hard to read the name Powell- it looks like dowell. I'm also surprised that colors aren't more vibrant. I know it sounds like sour grapes cause I didn't win, but I'm so surprised I can't resist commenting- it's just an observation of the basic rules of good graphics- eye-catching & legible... mmm.....

Hello All Designers,

The head guide and I each picked our top 5 favorite designs and sent them to employees, friends, family and business partners. The votes were all over the place. We have come to find that not everybody likes the same things and no one design came away the clear winner. In the end, we chose the one and only design that both of us originally sent out to be voted on.

It''s been a hectic month here and I''m terribly sorry I didn''t get around to responding to requests for feedback. I know that''s important for designers. I apologize. We will be closing for the Winter and I will be more than happy to provide specific feedback to designers in December for those who request it.

Again, thank you for your wonderful submissions. You made our decision EXTREMELY difficult.

hello GSD1017!

When I saw winning logo I can't stop Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
CH was very descriptive throughout the contest, long long paragraphs in the brief telling us what he wants...but I'm sure winning logo can be described in only one word " _____" people know what I want to say :)

Good luck CH!
[Soon new contest will be launched again for "Quality Branding" when they realised what they have chosen]

and yes Good luck Bhenry for your first ever win on designcrowd

Eshtiyak,

I worked directly with the client in the same way that I work with any of the clients at my own firm, I'm not sure why you are so sour about the outcome of this little contest.

An absolutely excellent client to work with who had defined and understandable concepts in mind, and were happy to work with me to create their new branding.

An interesting first full experience on this site, a few little hiccups in the system that I wasn't sure on, but overall a fantastic experience..

BHenry
