This one is just too hard to figure out at first glance. It looks like a church or something. Also the IdahoReporter.com part is not very compelling.

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:18pm

Too difficult to get at first glance. Also, hourglass is disproportionate with the IdahoReporter name and difficult to use as a logo

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:10am

This one didn't appear very imaginative to us.

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:20pm

.com portion is too small. At first glance it looks good, but ultimately doesn't have a great deal of personality. Also, by the way, Idaho capitol doesn't have a flag on it

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:22pm

Interesting idea but we didn't like the lettering concept

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:22pm

again, people couldn't tell from first impressions what this was

from chirayu Sep 18, 12:16am

the character in a logo is not working dude , but circular shape is interesting, if u remove the character , nd play with dome that might make it lot more serious, lets try that option

from chirayu Sep 18, 12:18am

looks interesting, c if u can try without gradation in dome

from chirayu Sep 18, 12:19am

its not working, try few more options

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:23pm

Not happy about the use of the NCSL dome logo. More than that, this is too cluttered.

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:23pm

Can't view this logo

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:24pm

No idea what this is

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:24pm

these are web buttons, not logos

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:24pm

can't see this logo

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:25pm

see #13

from idahohoffman Sep 17, 10:25pm

It just doesn't stand ou as I would hope.

dear client, i would like to take a different direction with my design. Could you please critique this one, or any of the submissions entered by other designers....and explain your dislikes/likes? Knowing your dislikes is just as helpful. Perhaps you can update your brief and explain what your dislikes and likes are regarding the already entered submissions... thank you.

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:14am

I liked this one, but my team had some reservations, with which I do agree: The ".com" is too small, the swooosh under the dome seemed contrived and the flag on top of the dome combined to seem a bit "disney"

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:16am

The team sort of liked this one, but I did not like the use of US capitol with the state bird carved out on top. Also liked the color addition but didn't like the red at top. Fonts didn't work. Ultimately, it was OK, but didn't really wow anyone

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:17am

This one didn't stand out. The dome is too big relative to the name and there's nothing that conveys authority or trustworthiness

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:18am

didn't stand out in the evaluations

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:18am

didn't stand out in the evaluations

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:21am

This is interesting. It certainly is unique and distinct. I'm not sure about the sun rays. Maybe a variation. Is it possible to get some "wow" factor in the font?

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:23am

I'd also like it if the .com wasn't so small.

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:45am

Actually, I said "small," but really the issue is the positioning of it

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:22am

I like #44 better.

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:24am

see commments under #7

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:24am

???

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:25am

too cluttered

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:25am

too random

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:26am

I didn't get it, with the guy with the mag glass. This is also too bureaucratic

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:31am

This is interesting. I need to think about the coloring a bit. Also I'm trying to imagine how it will work at the top of our website. There is some promise

from VIDI Sep 18, 12:49pm

thank you will work on more ideas and colors, i just wanted this to pop

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 3:28pm

That dome is quite yellow :) I like t he way IdahoReporter.com looks

from VIDI Sep 18, 6:24pm

i'll explore more colors and options. thank you.

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 3:29pm

Don't like the outline and don't like the presentaiton on the name

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 6:40pm

I like the font here the best. Not sure about the sun and mountain effect, though

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 6:44pm

I don't really like he sun effect on this one. Another idea might be to drop the sun entirely, and just do a mountain scape of some kind? Just an idea

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 8:48pm

I wonder if your designs would work better if the capitol looked more like Idaho's capitol. There are subtle differences that make it obvious it is not Idaho. I don't think it has to be a precise representation, though.

from VIDI Sep 18, 11:17pm

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 8:47pm

It may now be too tough to tell it what it is. Phallic symbol with wings? I like the attempt. Do you think there's a way to modify to fix that?

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 10:30am

It doesn't work for me. Sorry. Not sure why

from fmgraphics Sep 19, 1:50pm

Well thanks for the feedback, I guess i will let the chance to the other designers.

from VIDI Sep 18, 11:19pm

i can repositin the .com if you like and colors can change. is the design appealing to you?

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 10:32am

I think this is better. Not sure about the colors. Can you make a variation?

from VIDI Sep 19, 12:50pm

sure will change colors. thank you

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 10:36am

Love the cap dome in the "o". Positioning of .com here is problematic. Great fonts

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 10:37am

Actually, I'll think about that some more regarding the .com. It's a nice concept

from ian Sep 19, 10:49am

Thank you for your feedback. I came with B/W designs at first for you catch its concept clearly. I'll come as soon as possible with some revisions based on these feedback - Ian

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:32am

It's a bit too unimaginative, frankly.

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:33am

ncsl dome, not a dramatic use of the IdahoReporter name.

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:34am

The bird/pen thing was strange to us. Twitter?

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:35am

See No. 40

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:36am

No idea what that blue box is about. The fonts are very plain. Idaho is too big. No .com included

from idahohoffman Sep 18, 11:36am

Obama campaign logo??

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 10:40am

Also a cool idea. I think I like the dome in the reporter "o" better, but not sure.

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 10:41am

I like the dome in the "a"

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 10:43am

love the .com thing. Very dramatic. The rest is a bit too washed out for me

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 2:18pm

Very interesting concerpt. Not bad

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 6:41pm

I wonder what would happen if you made the mag glass horizonal and .com under

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 3:20pm

not bad, though I don't like the dangling .com in the third line. Looks awkward

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 6:38pm

Better

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 6:37pm

Good colors. I like the square better

from idahohoffman Sep 19, 6:36pm

Don't like the arch, but the rest looks nice
