Wow! yeah, I thought I might have been prudish with this whole flag thing. I knew most of those, but some are the first time I'm hearing about it. How does the US Olympic teams get away with some of the stuff they do? I don't always see it as pandering, some times I do, in fact I made a...

I had a customer stop in and request that we design his logo and signs. He wants his businesses name to sit over top of an image of the American Flag. He is not the first to request this. I want to steer him away from this primarily because text sitting over top of a high contrasting pattern...

Looks great!

I'm not going to just do it for him for a few different reasons. The first being that the OP has stated on multiple occasions that he doesn't want someone to design it for him, and I learned a while back that doing so doesn't work out so well on here. Also, it's doesn't seem right to promote...

There you go. That's the best one yet. I think if the mountains were scooched up just a smidge so they weren't running into the name, that one would do the trick.

Didn't think I was adding to the drama, I was just asking if I could make a few suggestions to your design, which in my opinion is a better direction than what the OP started with. That being said, I think it still needs some work.

But if you know that a logo needs to be flexible enough to work in multiple formats and dimensions, it should be designed accordingly.

If you say so. I just had a few ideas I thought might help, universal things that would work even in Northern California.

Might not be all that helpful for some on here to tell you how much they would charge, what might take one person a half an hour to do, could take another a day to do. And it depends on folks rates too. So I personally cannot be much help with that. But maybe this would help. If this were...

If this is the one he's going to go with, are we allowed to critique it? I can think of a few things that might help.

You ask this of others on this forum all the time. Now the shoe's on the other foot. Extremely ironic coming from the guy that starts his own witch hunts on a regular basis.

You know, if people don't like the way things are run, they could always try to start their own thing and see if they can do it better.

Hopefully it's okay if I post these, but I thought I would show what we ended up with.

I'd go with CorelDRAW. People are most likely recommending it here, because they recognize the value. Give it a shot, you will be glad you did.

You know what helps me when I have designer's block? Grab a post-it pad and start doodling. If you are going the icon-design route, start there. It will be easier to match typography with imagery once you have narrowed it down and finalized your icon. So just focus on the icon for now. You...

No games. I never said I had a problem with you posting as much as you do. I just find it funny that you would be commenting about others posting often as a way for attention. It's not just three words. If I took those 3 words out of context as you are accusing me of doing, then simply...

I explain to customers that in almost all advertisements you assume that you want your elements, the logo, contact information, imagery, services, etc... to all work "2Gether":wink:. However, in reality they are all competing for people's attention. Every element you add weakens the strength of...

Good point's I'm usually pretty firm about most things when it comes to the design process. Like I said in my first post, I need to get a better handle on how revisions are handled though. The majority of the time it's not a problem, it's just those few clients who have a hard time making their...

I can tell by the colors and the "design traits" that this was created on a MAC.:wink:

I just find it beyond ironic that the person who posts more than anyone else on this forum has the nerve to say those who post up their designs often are the ones saying "look at me! look at me!" :Big Laugh Honestly Gino, I was just teasing you about it. At this point I'm definitely NOT upset...
