Submission # 2, we like the cannabis leaf of the American flag, and colors

Need to incorporate that image into object that enhances that image, then tells a visual story quickly, vibrantly, and uniquely, that we sell the finest cannabis and related paraphernalia available

Same as separates a Cuban cigar from a domestic cigar, or separates a Russian vodka from a domestic vodka, well hopefully you get the idea

Don't give up, YOU have talent, show us

We are getting closer with design submittals 8 and 9, but

Asian letters need to be separated enough to be quickly identifiable

We would like see see a design incorporating a square or rectangle icon

We would like to see the word "Cannabis" incorporated at bottom of center Leaf, see see how the impact appears

We would like to see the ancient Chinese calligraphy image for cannabis, and the modern Chinese calligraphy image for cannabis, replace the cannabis leaves on each side of submittal 8 and 9, to see the visual impact

Still looking for the image icon logo that makes your eyes pop out in astonishment

Getting closer, good luck to all

Submittal # 6

Cannabis leaf needs to look alive, potent, jump in your face, crying I am Cannabis, you want me NOW

Small leaves on each side of this logo need to be real cannabis leaves or followers, or buds, constantly conveying we sell cannabis, come to our store

Colors good, on the right track, for visual clarity

Needs more jump in your face, I am Cannabis

Submittal # 3

Colors good
General layout good, but looks ordinary
Need to pop more in layout
Like cannabis leaf against US Flag
Small leafs on each side could be changed to small cannabis leaves, or cannabis flowers, or buds

No periods after R and P in company name, make letters in company name more unique and different to be more memorable and jump out at the viewer

We want unique, abnormal, jump in your face, unforgettable, and dynamic, but never ordinary like it blends in with other logos

Make the cannabis leaf come alive as if it is

Best design to date, but still far from unique and awe inspiring, got to have it, feeling we want someone that is viewing our logo to feel when observing for the first time or one hundredth time

Keep going you have the ability to create the unusual, abnormal, out side the box thinking, to grow this design into the jaw dropping, eye popping, collectible logo design we seek from your talents, each one of you talented artists submitting

Good brain storming

The # 1 and # 2 design submittals require more dynamic punch

R P Apothecary needs to be arched for more impact to jump out to the viewer

The cannabis leaf flag requires larger presence, maybe with R P Apothecary name integrated to complement the identification to the viewer that we sell cannabis

Colors work

LLC for RPA name should be real small, just large enough to see with up close viewing

Purveyors of the Finest Cannabis, needs to be included in the logo

Looking for the striking unique and unusual logo that make someone want to collect it

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND SELECTED.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

 

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

 

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!
