paynomind Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Here are the finalists, in no particular order...ADesign Justification:None suppliedJudges comments:Pluses: Clean and excellent craftsmanship. Typography is well thoughtout/effective. Logo doesn't compete with the wordmark but complimentsit and works well alone. Applications nicely done and functional,especially the business card and shirt.Minuses: $ is too obvious a symbol for a finance company in myopinion. Use of gold and black to us connotes jewelry more thanfinance. Don't like the large watermarked logo on the letterhead.Advice: Maybe a smaller watermark behind the address info at thebottom of the letterhead to carry over the design element from thebusiness card. Color choice could have been better.BDesign Justification:The use of the pyramid in the Zaken Consulting logo was one ofsymbolism. Being that Zaken wants to focus on financial planning ofrecent college graduates, I used imagery that would make potentialcustomers think of money.Generally, pyramids invoke the thought of the Great Pyramids in Egypt,which are known for their treasures and gold. Also, the pyramid usedwill be recognized as similar to the one found on the back of the USdollar bill, which is a symbol of strength and durability. The colorscheme also was utilized to make viewers think of currency.Judges Comments:Pluses: Clean and excellent craftsmanship. Colors are a safe choicefor finance. Typography is effective but not exciting. Logo doesn'tcompete with the wordmark but compliments it and works well alone.Applications nicely done and functional, especially the business cardand shirt. Money symbol not as blatant as the $ and the pyramidimplies growth, growth a positive theme for a finance firm.Minuses: Awkward transition to B&W. Tilted logo onthe back of the business card has to go or be used consistently. Logois big for the letterhead.Advice: Tighten up your typography and sizerelationships on the applications. Overall nice concept package.CDesign Justification:Included within imageJudges Comments:Pluses. Clean and excellent craftsmanship. Colors are a safe choicefor finance. Typography had some thought put in it. Logo doesn'tcompete with the wordmark but compliments it and works well alone.Dutch rose theme is abstract enough not to connote Holland but gives anod to the company name origin. Lots of creativity in theapplications. Functionality is kept in tact. Flower image can alsoinvoke growth a positive theme for a finance firm.Minuses: Theme comes close to not working out. Not a whole lot ofnegatives. Too be nitpicky, hierarchy on the business card should beaddressed. The phone numbers compete with the name.Advice: Strongest overall, besides minor tweaking ininformation hierarchy. This is by far the most complete overallconcept. Nice inclusion of the shirt being worn.VOTING RULES-You may only vote once-You may vote for yourself, if you are a finalist-You rank the concepts 1, 2, 3-You submit your vote in PM ONLY. -Please do not reveal whose concepts are finalist, and do not reveal if yours was NOT a finalist.-Discussion in this thread should be about these three concepts only, not your rank of them, not that they aren't yours, not guesses on whose they are.If you violate any of the rules, your vote will be disqualified, and you will be banned from the next event.The rest of the entries will be posted after a winner is announced.You may submit your vote for the next three days.
