Anupam, in design #106 can you make the tooth people the D1C5A4 color from that website that I posted:

Also in design #105 can you make the tooth in the center of that design the same color? I want to compare it to the design you've already done with the white background. Best of luck!

Dezinden, I like the alternative design ideas that you've offered! Can you re-do the color scheme to match the color swatches that I indicated from the website I commented about yesterday?

Thanks!

P.S. I'm not liking the combination of the blue and the red, so lets remove that color combination.

Ok, I definitely have some favorite designs and I will be listing those in the next few hours. Since this logo is for a dental office I want the color combinations to be calming but I want there to be an element that attracts the prospective patients eye to our logo/sign. Go to the following website:


http://www.colorschemer.com/schemes/index.php?start=0&tag=calm

And go down to the color scheme "Spring Morning". I want the following 3 colors #D1C5A4, #665D51, #8E9C6D used as the main colors of the logo. I would also like #CB694D used as an accent color that will draw the clients eye to the logo.

1 day to go--looking forward to some big time creativity down the home stretch!

Alright, well this is just fun. Ya'll have a lot of creative talent! Iconic Designs, I like that you went out on the limb and changed the color scheme of your logo. I really like that combo. of blue and dark tan/brown. The tooth logo is too plain, I want something more artistic there though. Design #63 is appealing but again I feel too plain, but again I really like the font layout! My top two at this time with 4.5 days to go is design #47 and #49. Can someone throw a design out there with the red color in the University of South Carolina Gamecocks logo. We still have 4 days on this contest--lets increase the creativity. I encourage ya'll to think outside of the box!

Ok everyone, thanks for all of your submissions! We're getting there. Elements I like: Design #4 and #46: I like how the text is laid out on the right in bold with the icon on the left with the line separating the two. As far as layout goes I also like the bold font of design #34-37. Although the phrase "Changing Lives One Smile at a Time" should be in all Caps like in design #40. I love the font and layout (spacing of letters in design #40, although I like the font color scheme of design #34-37 better). Also I think I've decided that we either need to stick to the smile/tooth/family style logo like in design #12, 28, 40-42 or the incorporation of the palmetto logo like in design #3 and 13. Designs that combine the two like designs #33-35 and 43 are just TOO busy. I think the prospective patient will lose the message. Also design #39, 40 are too abstract. I want a patient to know that if they only see the pictoral mark of the logo that this is a dental office. I like the tooth drawing in designs #17 and #37. The smile in design #46 is too cartoonish for my taste. I want an image of a smile that is artistic, modern, and simple. Keep up the good work everyone! Thanks again!

Anupam, I like what you've created. Any way in your design you could incorporate a tooth or something related to dentistry. Again I want prospective patients to be able to see the pictoral mark only (if I take away any of the text in your logo) and still be able to understand that this is the icon of a dental office. Also I don't like the upside down half moon shape on the left side of the icon. I don't really understand that element of your logo. I still see no submissions that pop out at me and say "Wow, thats my logo!" But ya'll are movin' in the right direction!

Iconic designs, I like the color choices in the logo. I'm not quite sure what those white talon looking nuances are in the green part of the logo. Also I feel like the overall feel of the logo is too abstract. I want something that's modern, but not so modern and abstract that it doesn't speak to my patient base (I practice in a more rural area). When you're trying to come up with color and font designs think of what you might see in a chic version Southern Living magazine.

Maxim, I like your overall design. I'm not crazy about the placement of the moon. I want to try and maintain the palmetto logo so it is recognizable. But I like the idea of the palm in the logo. I also like having the text underneath the logo. But I want the logo to be complex enough so that if I wanted to remove the text and have more of a pictoral mark, I would be able to do that and still maintain my brand recognition. I like the initial idea, but when I look at your design, I don't get the feeling, "WOW, that's it--I have to have that logo!"
