Dear Daphne

Thank you for your second concept. It looks much better with the new font, doesn't it? Could you also show it with an other name - for example with our new idea: "procure.ch"?
Any idea of a subbrand policy using different colors?

Thanks for your work!

svme

I like many of these designs. 504sports would like to see your version of a sharp logo.

Hello,
Here is my first submission. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you,

My goal was to bring a human element to this logo and combine it with the word procure. This concept number 2 is similar to my first posting (#37) but the person is more defined. It is almost as if the person is procuring this association for all of its benefits. I welcome your thoughts, thanks.

[robyn]

hi CH, kindly give us more feedback, as time ending up... we would like to do our changes, when time is still running. Thanks.

Here is my revision! It features a new style cross, "procure.ch" as the main name (I still prefer "achat suisse", as it is quite more unique, but you are the boss ), and colored lower case subbrands.

Dear Gerhard

We remarqued that the domainname for "achat suisse" may cause problems - so we focussed on the procure.ch-thing...

Re Version 1.1: okay - still looks somekind of Norvegian to me.. but gets into my shortlist

Re Version 2.0: thanks for that one - but more like a "No".

Txs for your entry - could you show me how the design will work in a subbrand policy (regarding coloring and or text elements).

Regards,

Beat

Dear cincitodd

Thank you very much for the two concepts. I like the idea - but honestly the logo seems to be pretentious to me, to showy, to big. The red dominates to much - in b/w it is just too much of dark space.
I guess we will not consider the two versions for our shortlist - sorry.

Dear Dongerz

Thanks for the try - but not really what I have in mind; too dominant, too much of red - to much of SWISS.

Geek,

Version 3.0 looks nice - allthough I cannot see the story behind it - the idea. I might have troubles to explain what it is standing for.
Could you show me:

- with another name (swiss procurement and/or procure.ch)
- how it works within a subbrand policy (subbrand name / colors)?
- grayscale

Txs,

Beat

Feedback for mine seems to have been skipped. Should I assume this means I should try a new direction?

Thanks for the two versions, Robyn

V 1.0 doesn't work - I can't see the idea...
V 2.0 looks ok - please consider elaborating on the subbrand policy (see other replies) and show the logo with a different brand name.

Feedback is appreciated

Dear Paulo

Thanks for the different versions:

Version 1.1subbrands: just show me this with the other name (procure.ch and/or swiss procurement)

Version 2: I do not like the square flag very much - but version 2.1 is quite impressiv - might be a bit too moderen for the association though...
It's on my shortlist anyway.

[svme]

Feedback for mine seems to have been skipped. Should I assume this means I should try a new direction?

Dear illumina

Feedback not skipped - it was just next on my list.... the better the direction, the less important are the comments

Seriously - I like it; the visual element looks very good. Still I have some suggestions:

- not sure if the visual will work very well in black and white...
- please show with lower cases only and try another font (as daphne or smackdesign)
- also try with a different name (swiss purchasing, swiss procurement, procure.ch ...)
- could you show me how the concept would work with different subbrands above all regarding different colors? Would the color of the cross change?

Definitely on our shortlist!

Regars,

Beat

[svme]

Hi svme

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the typo. Here is the design suited for adapting to the sub-brands and maintaining the integrity of the parent logo. Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks

Dear Smack - you are on my shortlist for surem - really like it!

Dear Daphne

My personal favourite!
Just one thing - can you change the horizontal arrow.
It enters from right, pointing left: seems like a backward step to me.

Please try: Arrows enters from left side, pointing rightwards: progress!

Hope you can adjust that - looking forward to it!

@ all elite designers:

The contest will end tomorrow! I really appreciate the effort all of you made. We will not be able to select more than one winner - but I think we will enter more contest as for our web redesign, for advertising material... Please keep looking!

Thanks again!

Hi svme, here are the changes, with 2 options for the different colors and how they'd work, also shown in a black and white version
