Eventing Imports
Deadline: Mon Dec 21, 2009
Prize Amount: $200
My business is two-fold. #1. I am a horse trainer for three day event horses. I am on the path to participate in the Olympics. #2. I import, train and sell horses that are bred in Argentina. I mostly train them for three day eventing, but I also train them for other disciplines such as hunters, jumpers, and foxhunters. I buy them when they are very young and train them so that they can be ridden by an amateur/non-professional. This logo will be placed on clothing, horse clothing, trucks, and horse trailers. This will receive national and international exposure. I have some ideas of what I would like the logo to look like. However, you are the creative ones and I would love some ideas from you before I am too specific in what I want it to look like. Some recommendations: The association for three day eventing is useventing.com. I like the design that they use in their logo of the horse jumping down. Obviously, the artwork in my logo needs to be original. I also like the symbol for ‘silla argentina’ bred horses, which is the brand the horses wear. It is a simple saddle. You can see this at: ecuestrian.com My colors are blue. The Argentina colors are also blue. Royal blue, light blue, navy, silver and black are all good colors. I would also like to consider the use of the Argentina flag. The name of my business is: Eventing Imports Thank you for your time! I am looking forward to working with you.

Thank you so much for submitting your designs. I like the horse, however, I need to have one in some 'stage' of a jump, as these are jumping horses. The US eventing logo shows you a horse on its way down. This is typically the 'stage' of jump that an eventer highlights. However, I am not opposed to other options.

I love the way the variegated blue looks. However, I think that would be difficult/$$ to duplicate.

I like the overall shape. Without knowing it, you created the shape of a rolltop...which is a cross country jump. Very clever!

I don't feel as though the logo has enough information as it sits now. Would you consider adding in the saddle logo and maybe playing around with the other items mentioned in the brief?

Thanks again and I look forward to your revised designs.

Thank you for submitting your logo designs. This is very nice, but, not for this particular business. It is too 'pretty pony'. I think you got closer with your second submission.

Thank you so much for your submission. I really do not want a rider in the logo. And I don't particularly care for the yellow sunlike rays. The art is a little too obvious. My favorite is #3 so far. Thank you!

Hi, here's another variation for your review. Any feedback is appreciated. Also, I had trouble viewing the saddle logo you referred to... Can you please provide another link to view it. Thanks.

Hi, here's some of the revisions for the logo. You've also mentioned a saddle on the brief and your last comment, however, I am having trouble finding it throught the link. Can you please provide a different link to view the saddle to possibly incorporate it into the design. Thank you.

Thank you for all of your work. Logo looks really nice!! I re-did the link to the saddle. Sorry the other one didn't work. Is it possible to have the ears on the horse going forward? Forward ears indicates the horse is engaged and happy with his job. Ears back indicate they are not happy. Little detail, but, it means a lot. Thanks again! Very excited to see your revision!!

Hi, thank you for your feedback and saddle image. Here's an adjustment to the horse's ears. I will also summit this inside the saddle shortly.

Here's the design inside the saddle. Not sure if this is what you had in mind. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Great job on the ears! I will be posting a different horse later today. It is an original design that was based off of the US Eventing horse that I talked about in my brief. If you could swap that out for this horse. And also turn the sun back to yellow...like you had it. You were right the first time, I told you wrong. Sorry! Would it be at all possible to incorporate the saddle on to the horse? I know that I am asking a lot. And I so much appreciate all of your hard work, thought and creativity that you are putting into this. Thank you

Hi, thank you so much for your design. I really like the horse. But, I don't really care for it jumping the two letters. And I would really like to incorporate the flag and saddle (brand) somehow. I will be posting horse artwork later today. It is a horse that I have used in my previous logo. Perhaps you could take a look at that as well. Also, I would like to have it at least two colors. I realize that I did not say that in my initial brief. You know sometimes we don't know what we want until we see it. I look forward to your revised design. Thank you

Thank you for your design. I love the creativity that you used showing Argentina in the background! And I love how you incorporated the sunburst. The horse in the design is rearing...which is naughty. And I really want the horse to be jumping. And I would like the saddle to be the one that I posted, as it is the brand of the horses that I import. Thank you and I really look forward to your revision!!

Hi, thanks for working with the saddle. I don't really care for the way it is here. I don't think the saddle itself is a very exciting design. But, I want to use it somehow in my logo. Thanks again!

Hi, thank you for submitting your design. I really like the creativity!! I love the way you used the sun without it being so obvious! I am posting a different horse later today that you might want to try and use. I used it in a previous logo. It is more like the horse on the US Eventing site, where the horse is jumping down...like into water. As opposed to jumping up and over. Also, if there is a way to add the saddle, which is the brand of the horse, that would be great. Love the colors!!!!!! I look forward to seeing your revision. Thank you again for your time and creativity!!

Thank you for your submission. The saddle is backwards on the horse. The flap facees forward. And it should be a touch bigger. I am trying to get a hold of the horse artwork to use. Hopefully, soon.

This is great! I love the shape of the overall design and you incorporated all of the elements. Let me think on it a bit. But, first look...really like it.

Hi, thanks for submitting your design. Very creative and fresh. I don't really like the back end of the horse, and I would prefer the horse not to have a rider. Is it possible to incorporate the other elements listed in the brief?
