Whic one do you like better?

[iGary]

Left or right?

http://www.garyianreich.com/images/sc360.jpg

[vniow]

I like the blue one better. :)

[PlaceofDis]

right. blue is to much easier on the eyes.

[yellow]

I like the color blue better...

But the ocher might "pop" more, as it's a less common color than boring old blue.

One complaint, the "three sixty" in ocher is sort of hard to see at a glance.. might want to darken that up a little?

EDIT: I guess that means I really vote for orange.

[WildCowboy]

Definitely the blue one...but I'm a big fan of blue.

[PlaceofDis]

blue may blend in too much, wonder what a deeper blue or a light red would look like? the yellow color just doesn't do anything for me. heh:o

[iGary]

That should fix it - thanks Ani.

[yellow]

the yellow color just doesn't do anything for me. heh:o


<bursts into tears>

[iGary]

I personally like the yellow...but I wanted to see what hit people first reaction.

The bottom text needs to be larger, IMO.

[ATD]

Blue

[calebjohnston]

Definitely the blue. The yellow strains my eyes big time.

[XIII]

Right - blue.

[Lau]

I prefer the yellow, but in light of the name (Spa Creek) I wonder if blue would be more appropriate?

[kretzy]

I'm usually a blue person, but so some reason I don't particularly like that shade. Therefore I say yellow/orange/ocher one.

[PlaceofDis]

I personally like the yellow...but I wanted to see what hit people first reaction.

The bottom text needs to be larger, IMO.

i'd like the yellow if it didn't strain to see. perhaps a black outline on the arrows or such? when i get home if you haven't decided, i'll see what i can mock-up for you with what i have there, i'm useless at work.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I like the yellow/orange better. And it doesn't hurt that yellow is much more eye-catching, either. :)

[Blue Velvet]

Blue... but probably only because it'll print/convert better to mono, i.e. a laser printer or photocopier.

I won't get drawn into the design or type.

*carefully settles down on fence*

[mac4drew]

Blue seems better for a name like Spa Creek.

[j26]

Depends on the context.

*Joins Blue Velvet on fence. Offers stick of chewing gum*

[neocell]

I think I'm going to have to go with the Left (orange/yellow whatever). I generally like blue better, but something about the blue that you've used, kind of makes it look like a cheesy 90s expansion team jersey logo.
Meh? Whatever

[NoNameBrand]

When I first glanced at the orange one, "nipple" popped into my head. I still like it though (oddly). Blue is nice, but blue is a very common colour in design, since it's so nice.

[Lau]

When I first glanced at the orange one, "nipple" popped into my head.

I thought nipple too on both of them, but thought I was just a perv. :o :p

[mkrishnan]

Can I get it in hot pink, please? There's really shockingly little that isn't better in the pink-hot-pink-magenta continuum of colors. :)

Otherwise, I too like the blue. I think the left is okay, but I'm not a fan of the ghosted arrow -- I like the two arrows at roughly the same intensity, as on right.

[Artful Dodger]

The blue one seems best but PlaceofDis had a good idea of maybe a deeper blue or even a light purple :o The design is nice Gary hope it works well for you :)

[20rogersc]

I think I prefer the yellow as it is more original.
However the bottom left arrow looks a bit 'dirty'.

::20ROGERSC::

[dops7107]

I'd go yellow, even though I normally like blue. Yellow looks more punchy and grabs my attention more. Blue is subdued, in this case I feel.

[yellow]

Ooooo nipple! I didn't really see that before, but I do now. Nipples rule.

[Jaffa Cake]

Colourwise, I'll go with the blue.

[Maxiseller]

I'm in the yellow camp - if for no other reason than it looks the most original.

I also like the blurring on the top arrow in the yellow - gives the nice effect of the circular motion.

[iGary]

Whaqt about these two (compared to each other and the ones above):

http://www.garyianreich.com/images/sc3602.jpg

[jsw]

I'm not a big fan of twisted nipple advertising - at least not for mainstream apps.

I like the one on the left above the best.

[yankeefan24]

The one above on the left, IMO.

[PlaceofDis]

first one in the second set, i like that one the best.

[neocell]

First one (more white) in the second posting (out of those two, by far), but I like the first ones better

[iBlue]

What about these two (compared to each other and the ones above):

the one on the right. on the left one the blue border just sort of stops, and it threw me. otherwise i sort of liked the white. (aren't i helpful?)

for the first set i prefer the blue. spa and creek sort of speak tones of blue just by association - seems more cohesive.

i like the designs though very much. go you! :)

[MacsomJRR]

Whaqt about these two (compared to each other and the ones above):

http://www.garyianreich.com/images/sc3602.jpg

I prefer the logo on the right. The guy on the left has just a little too much white for me, makes it look a little empty.

[Cooknn]

Of the four I like this one the best. It fits the name to a tee, IMHO.

[iGary]

OK - cards - and same logo themes....back and front (two sided cards) - thanks for all the great feedback so far....

http://www.garyianreich.com/images/sc3603.jpg

[mouchoir]

Erm... Is it supposed to look like a sewage outlet pipe going into the sea?

Sorry, but that is the first thing that springs to mind!

That's exactly what it is supposed to look like! :D






:rolleyes:

[sunfast]

Another vote for blue.

[Boggle]

Of the original...I like the left, but I think the background is pretty important too. Is it going to be as white as the post screens here?

Of the second, I like the right.

Of the cards, I like the right. If you go that route you might want to use a textured material to bring out the yellow hues.

[iGary]

OK, I'm nibbling it down to two at this point...

http://www.garyianreich.com/images/sc3604.jpg

Sorry so big...

[gauchogolfer]

I like the one on the right better, especially if you're going to branch out into the Netherlands ;).

BTW, what does BoatBiew mean? Is this intentional, and something I'm just not familiar with, or a typo?

If you go to the site, you can see - it's basically panoramic interior shots of boats...it's kind of beta idea I'm going to test....:o

[PlaceofDis]

right. the yellow and grey are a good combo.

[Lau]

They're maybe a bit overcomplicated? Especially the first one. There's a lot going on with different alignment, the logo, the wavy borders, font size, etc, etc.

[gauchogolfer]

I gathered that, I just wonder if it should read BoatView on your cards :)

[iGary]

LMAO!!!!

DUH!!!

[kretzy]

I like the yellow and grey combination. I always find grey makes things look a little more professional for some reason, even if it is a bit duller. The dullness doesn't matter though because the yellow makes it stand out.

[gauchogolfer]

iGary,
Not to be a nitpicker (all though I admit it's a pastime), you misspelled 'cubic' as 'cuibic' on your QTVR page on the website. Just a heads-up.

Cheers

Edit: ooh, and don't forget to update your equipment list with your shiny new Quad :)

[BurtonCCC]

If it's not going to be more simplistic, I'd say go with the yellow and grey.

I don't think people really want simplicity anymore anyway. Look at the iPod ads now versus those a year ago. What a shame.

Actually, go with the yellow and grey no matter what.

Daniel.

No thanks, that's why I post stuff - :D

[sunfast]

The top left I'd say. Like the ochre / grey combo.

[yellow]

The ochre/gray one. I don't care for the slanty card version.

[gauchogolfer]

No thanks, that's why I post stuff - :D

Sounds good to me. I like the website, by the way. As soon as I buy a megayacht and decide to flip it for a larger one, I'll give you a call. :D

Maybe you should give these folks a call, to see if they're looking to sell :)

Still prefer the top right compared with the new two. I prefer the arrows logo.

No thanks, that's why I post stuff - :DWhile we're in edit mode, make sure you fix the spelling on the back of your business card from comercial to commercial ;)

You rock - thanks!

I dig the BoatView™ concept. We've got a lot of big yachts down here in SW Florida. I could use another source of income for my 360&#176; biz - real estate is slowing down a bit... I may have to hit the pavement and shake hands with some boaters :D Maybe I should read up a bit so I can speak the language eh?

I honestly think it will do really well - I mean the only ads you ever see of boats are the outside, and no inside shots - at a minimum a flat pano would be great - especially for expensive new boats.

I'm drawing up a specific "leave behind piece" just for boat brokers and I hope to get at least one big brokerage signed up on a "freebie" trial to see how they like it first, and hope to drag others on board after.

We'll see!

I guess I thought of it because it's what I know - you know real estate, which I have no clue about. I wanted to try something where I have contacts and know the lingo. Same deal with you - you have real estate contacts - I don't.

And yeah, plenty of good brokerages there - at least I noticed a lot form the air last time I shot there.

Cheers. And thanks for the help!

[njmac]

You know what's really cool too? This (http://www.gravityshots.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=HeliCam) company does aerial shots of real estate from an angle that's hard to get to from an aircraft - they use a RC helicopter and mount the camera on it!

They have some great shots in their portfolio. It allows them to get lower than an plane/copter but higher than the ground. :)

[mouchoir]

That's exactly what it is supposed to look like! :D






:rolleyes:


Sorry iGary, looking back I realise this is totally non-productive criticism

:o

[Lau]

:o

Not necessarily. Especially with logos, it's good to show them to someone who has no idea of the project (who would see it the way a client would see it) and check that there isn't something hidden in there that you haven't noticed. When you're designing something you see what it's meant to be, say two joined circles, whereas someone else might see a huge arse. If one of your clients also sees a huge arse, that ain't good. :D Hence, it's always useful to show your work to someone else and see what they get out of it.

[jamesi]

orange is the best

[Boggle]

OK, I'm nibbling it down to two at this point...

The one on the right. The blue offsets the yellow nicely.

[gekko513]

On the business card comparison I like the yellow and grey front side with the arrow (upper right).




Erm... Is it supposed to look like a sewage outlet pipe going into the sea?

Sorry, but that is the first thing that springs to mind!
Frack, frack, frack .... now that you said that, the blue thing reminds me of a sewage outlet, and the grey circle with the arrows around it reminds me of a manhole cover.

I don't think I would've made that association without the sewage outlet comment, so I think the design is safe. :)

[iGary]

Sorry iGary, looking back I realise this is totally non-productive criticism

:o

I was just giving you a hard time. :D

Thanks for looking - honestly.

I sent the one on the left to the printer.

http://www.garyianreich.com/images/sc3604.jpg

[njmac]

Good luck with your business :)

[gekko513]

I sent the one on the left to the printer.

Did it still say "Comercial"?

[iGary]

Sans typos. :)

[iBlue]

...

oooh, i like! (sans typos of course, glad it was caught at this phase) the grey and yellow will look great on a business card. good choice.

[Yvan256]

Logos: I prefer the blue one, only because the yellow one is harder to read. A darker blue should look better, IMO.

Cards: I prefer the yellow/grey ones.

[count chocula]

gotta go with the blue one

[pknz]

Blue, it looks refreshing.

[rockandrule]

Originally liked the blue best, but by the end of reading through all of the posts. I definitely changed my mind. As much as the blue fits with the business, the yellow is a nice offset. Good luck with the business Gary!

[thejadedmonkey]

I like the top left business card the best, but I agree that it looks sort of like a sewage pipe...

Yeah, it kind of does, but my photography has been known to stink. :D















I know that had no numor value to it at all.

[marchcapital]

i like the blue. lol im a little late but w/e

[virividox]

blue was easier to look at
