Hi all,


First a thank you to Wolf who has added some great designs to which I have provided feedback.

Second some general handwriting feedback, I think it needs to be curved, slanty and a bit sexy but needs to be readable too. For me the lower case ss's in the Lucida font can be hard to read for some people.

In the design brief there is a font from the bike company Rapha that I like a lot.

Finally if any one is viewing this and reading the brief and has any questions or issues please do let me know. For example the deadline could be extended, I realise it's coming up to holiday time, but maybe also this is a good project to help buy a couple of extra Christmas presents under your tree!

Cheers,

Tom

p.s. I will be able to provide feedback until Sunday afternoon European time, and will provide feedback to any entries submitted on Sunday afternoon ASAP on Monday or before if possible.

Dear all,


Firstly - thank you fro your designs and creativity.

I have now gone through all designs and given feedback to all designers. The designs that remain in contention should give everyone a steer to the designs I am liking.

For those eliminated please read the feedback and feel free to submit new design ideas.

I will be providing feedback in two batches every day this week (AM and PM Central European Time) and then selecting the design towards the end of this week or early next week with my business partner.

We have launched our website and social media accounts so please check them out for general look and feel of the brand that we'd like to create:
