Decided to play hookie today. Finished the magazines in the mailbox.

I wish I could see them. They block image hosting sites here at work!

DarkFireGT

Here you go

denlem

They keep looking good!

I was just showing them to a friend here at work and she liked your original big style the best!

denlem

I just sent a message off to the original logo creators and told them of the revisions that needed to be made, which are the ones you made, but I didn’t go into detail. I like the whole idea of the mailbox on the post with the grass at the bottom, but didn’t ask for that to see what kind of mailbox I get. I did have them to try and add a female character that was happy to get her mail. That part should be interesting!

I should have results in a day or two. From there we can mix and match and hopefully have something final soon!

I LIKE this

Well, I gave the logo company the ideas I worked out with DarkFire and I have attached what they have come up with. I did ask ask for a female character happy to get her mail, not a stipper wondering why there was a mailbox attached to her pole!

I'll have to say i'm dissapointed.

DarkFireGT

I like the "in the mail" font on the last one. I honestly just grabbed something quick when I did mine. But those are definitely boring. Maybe if the mailbox was red it would help it pop? I like mine better for now

denlem

I'll run some more ideas by you tonight when I get home and see what you can do. Then I will show them what you came up with and see what they say.

Check out the pink haired gurl at esurance.com - thats the kind of character I was hoping for.

DarkFireGT

Gotcha. Honestly, I think at that point, it's getting a too busy. But run some ideas by me later and I'll see what I can do.

denlem

Too busy with adding a character like the esurance girl or too busy with anything more than a character?

Can you add something to see what it would look like?

DarkFireGT

Ok, here's one I threw together.

denlem

This just keeps getting better! I love it!

My original thoughts not translated to you would be to have her on the right side. I was also thinking of adding a ".com" on the bottom right, but that wouldn't work with the girl on that side due to her height. The height right now seems perfect.

I was also thinking about adding the swoosh back on the left, but with the girl there it would look like it was coming out her butt. Can't have that.

The pink pony tail holder is great!

Leaving everything as it is, adding the .com is about all thats left except for fine tuning a few items.

I am so impressed!

DarkFireGT

What other fine tuning? I'll see if I can kill 2 birds with one stone.

DarkFireGT

Well, I had a minute. So here's an update.

denlem

I'm probably nit-picking...

- pant leg should be thinner. follow the black line in her back down and it don't line up with the pants
- left foot looks out of place. Reminds me of the out of place foot on the back of a $2 bill.

The right hand looks odd but I think I just realized that is more of a fist and she is thinking 'yes' with the arm/fist motion.

I ran it by my sister and she said it looks like my niece only the trash bucket is missing! On trash day it sits by the mailbox.

DarkFireGT

The paint leg and back foot is an optical illusion. Due to the shape of the female body and the simplicity of the image, it gives that appearance. But I can fix the pant leg. The foot actually looks fine when the girl is by herself. It's the writing getting in the way. I'll see if I can move her just a bit. I wasn't sure where to go with the hand. The original clipart I based my design on had mail in her hands. I can try to extend the hand if you would like, but it may not come out right, again, due to the simplicity of the design.

denlem

You're the expert. Do what you feel is right.

DarkFireGT

how about that?
