Meadowridge.... may I ?

[Chaos Ranch]

Corinne... may I have your permission to post 3 logo examples so I can get some input on what to do from here ?

 

[MeadowRidge Farm]

SURE.

: I would love to hear what others have to say. :bgrin Corinne

 

[Chaos Ranch]

Ok... here we go...

Since your website is black based, I Put these on a black background.

Annnd... they are a little big so you can see detail, we can always resize them.

Plus, I didn't know if you like simplified line art, or detailed art....so I did both.

And... there are two similar ones, the difference is the scene, and the dropshadow.

Remember,... these are beginngs, I can modify, re-create, totally delete, or anything you want... it's all up to you. But... I am very very open to suggestions on how to improve the images.

 

[MeadowRidge Farm]

Ohh, I like the last one, and I do like more of a detailed art form. Only thing is MeadowRidge is spelled wrong :bgrin

:

so how does anyone else like it?? any suggestions??? Corinne

 

[runamuk]

I really like number 3.

The only thing I see that might look "off" when shrunkdown is the little donkey silouhettes...they kinda look like unicorns......but I don't have a good idea on how to fix it either :bgrin

I do really like the 3rd one best

 

[Chaos Ranch]

The "R" was a lil r... oops... :bgrin

Is this better?

I can re-do the lil donkey heads... I can chrome them.. I can do lots of things with them. But I don't want to have too much chrome. Maybe I should flatten the donkey heads, and put a thin chrome outline around them?

 

[runamuk]

ok the capital looks much better can you post it in it's smaller form?....just curious about the little donks.....as it took me a minute to remember she has donks and they weren't unicorns.... :bgrin :bgrin

 

[justaboutgeese]

If its a heads up you want I like number three also

 

[Marty]

This gal is such an artist isn't she?

I love #3.

Mostly because it is just different. It also incorporates the name of the farm by showing a "meadow and ridge" and I love that. I love the capital letters too.

I would completely eliminate the bottom donks. I think that with them there, it is taking away from the primary design that encases the main picture and draws your eye away from it, when in fact, that should be the focal point.

So, to balance it out a little better, by eliminating the donks, I would then move the "meadow ridge" font down below the horse figure completely so it is not covering it up at all. Like the "r" the "d" and the "d" are over lapping in the design of the horse, covering up some of the horse's tail and body. And that is just too pretty to be covering up. I'd like to see a clear view of that horse there.

My vote is #3 and no donks.

 

[Chaos Ranch]

On this one I modified the donkies to try to get that unicorn look out... they did look a lot like unicorns

:

And here it is shrunk down to 325 pixels wide... but I could go about 370 for a webpage logo and it still not be "too much" I think with this one. Not sure though, would just have to see it on a page to be sure it would look right that large...... here's 325 pixels wide....

I do agree 100% with you Marty... the long ears throw it off and takes the clean-ness out of the over-all image.

How about this Corinne, how about I just nix the donks, and since you're on the donk forum, put them in your avatar ? Sound good?

Thats beautiful!!!! I would try making the horse complete...in other words adding the legs to it because you can still see the lettering....and no donkeys. I initially thought the donkeys were Great Danes or Llamas. Good job tho!! :aktion033:

 

[Chaos Ranch]

Here we go... I took the long ears outta there, and resized it to 365 pixels wide.

I think it's starting to look pretty nice. I sure appreciate the help ya'll

I can sure try that one too. It may take a bit, but I can do it :bgrin

 

[Chaos Ranch]

Okie dokie... I have it two ways (had to re-create the horse as a whole horse instead of a no-legger :bgrin )

Here it is with MeadowRidge Farm in one line.....

And here it is with MeadowRidge then Farm....

GOSH KIM YOU ARE SOOOO TALENTED, I LOVE THE LAST ONE THE BEST, CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU END UP WITH,

:

 

[lvponies]

I love the 1st one with the farm name under the horse's legs. Looks like he is trotting over the name. Cool!!!

 

[rabbitsfizz]

I love the idea but I do like the Donkey heads in there as well. Can you try it with the scene carrying on through the Donkey heads???

 

[Marty]

Yup that's what I meant. I love those letters by the way. That horse was just to unusual to cover up Kimmy!

Hey guys, let's play a practical joke on her and keep her changing it all day long! hehe...

For a buisiness card I really liked the original #3, except I thought the donkeys were Alpacas(sorry). I do like the "whole horse" ones also but not sure how it will look in a card. Really nice art work!

 

[Sterling]

Oooohhh WoW!!!! That is exactly what I had envisioned!!! You are very good...very talented! :aktion033: I like them both but my fav has to be the first one!!
