I used bold colors and contrasting fonts... leading the eye back to a wishing-star. The \"Wish\" font I chose was whimsical and the \"Link\" font was more serious, yet appropriate. The client commented that it \"looked like a logo for a water park\". This was about a year ago. This company's current internet presence remains unknown.")

I wanted to stay away from any likeness to \"BuzzFeed\" so I composed the orignal design in orange. They revised their brief to specify \"red\" so I complied. In my rendition, the space between the \"ZZ\" became a lightning bolt. I liked this and used it as an underline for the logo and icon. Regardless, this design was nixed and they chose a logo which I feel is a little weak. (Feel free to navigate to their website to see their selection.)")

I used a mature, masculine font and colors based on the client's request. I also incorporated the graphic of a stylized suspension bridge to tie in with their name. IMO, the logo they selected was OVER-simplified (as viewable on their website). But I totally appreciate the consideration my design was given!")

The contest received a very good response from designers, and while I stand by my design, I will agree that the winning logo was very nice.")
About
With a degree in Advertising Design, I have been immersed in the print industry since 1989. Working for major metro and suburban newspapers and magazines, ad creation has "paid the bills"... but my passion lies in logo creation and illustration.
