Hi Vicki, Thanks for the entry. Looking at the designs more & more I would like to move away from the the initials in a box. Thank you again. LM

Hello:

Thank you.

Thank you for the design. I do like the black & white Fleur De Lis in the little circle but not sure I like the fonts. Thanks again. LM

Thank you for the feedback. Here's a revised version, sans box

I've tried many drawings (read "I draw all the time since you answer to my post"). First of all, I didn't use any font. It's my handwriting with a little touch. When it comes to logotypes, like yours, I think it's necessary to change the font (if you can't make your own instead) in order to avoid as much as possible being imitated by others. I did that for all my logotype works (examples:
a doua banca de la geam: cafe-cafe
a doua banca de la geam: chic salon

I must tell you, personally, I still like my first version. It's very simple, clean, authentic and, a very important thing, you can identify it in very small dimensions. I suppose you need the logo to be visible in small dimensions because you might want put it in the corner of your photos. I know that you like generic so called "marginalia" (lat.) but you can use it as an ambient, background for your website, business card or any other printed materials.
Is just a proposal. Of course, you are going to decide what's best for you.

Thank you so much for the advice! I do love the first one. Not sure what you mean by using the marginalia as ambient or background for my website? So if I choose this as my logo, can you also provide me with a business card like the one I really like, so I can get business cards made exactly like that? LM

I just re-read your response from before about it being free handed, I love it and you're right it will allow it be more 'Branded' if you will. You're very talented, if you can include the design in this as the one I like, I'm sold. One last question, can I change the color of the 'Logo' myself?

Can't wait to hear from you.

[LisaMikie]

This is my work. I hope this is what you're looking for.

Also, will I be able to adjust the size?

[igorad]

for your appreciations, Lisa.
You will receive the logo in vector format and you can change the size of it or color in a few seconds. Because it's a vector, resizing the logo won't affect its quality.
Of course, I saw that business card on your blog. I assure you, I can do better than that. Once again, a little recommendation: I suggest you not having a business card "exactly" like that. You have to stand up from many others, you need to be known as special. Of course, achieving this "special" requires a lot of work, but I suppose you're not afraid of that.

I love the idea but I don't have the budget to go over what I've put on here, so if you could include that with this logo, I would love it! LM

[igorad]

if the administrator allows me to post a business card for you here, why not?

[LisaMikie]

Great, thank you so much! So do you find out from the admin or do I?

[igorad]

I think so.

since this is a logo contest Business card designs will not be allowed. When the contest is over you can do one of two things.
Start another contest for a business card design or discuss additional services like stationary with the designer. Usually a designer will charge you extra for the extra service.

Yeah, I really budgeted all my money for the 'Logo' and had planned to use a part of it for my card.

[Coy]

second concept.

I'm sure whomever you choose as the winner will be willing to work something out with you.

[LisaMikie]

I think so.

Being a new small business. I just don't want to ad anymore to this. My questions before I ever started this is I wanted to something I could use for all these things and I love the 'Logo' but it's not something I would use in a business card. A compromise might be that you add what you were thinking for the card to the Logo and make it make so I can take those pieces and apply them to my business card. Does that make sense?

I think if you want a sample of what the image will look like on a business card you'll need to request it and all the designs will be allowed to do so.

NOW I'm not 100% sure on this so.... I'll bring it to the attention of the other admin/mods and see what they say.
