Thanks very much.

Chad,

I’m not sure you get the ‘order of the letter’ theory. The trick is to keep the fisrt and lsat leettrs in plcae, as the eye is drawn to them more than those in the centre.

Regarding the white side of the card, to be honest I’d prefer the blue jigsaw piece on the left removed, leaving a cleaner impression, but it was Shaun’s choice to use it, and he’s happier with the outcome.

atomo,

Funny you should mention the space between the lower jigsaw piece and the ’solutions’ type. In my initial ideas, I wasn’t included ’solutions’ (as you can see in the very few sketches shown). The chosen design was thought of before the third word was added, which explains a little about your thoughts. I’m surprised ‘whatthefont’ didn’t recognise Gotham.

I think if it was just plain ‘jigsaw’ then it might work better.

The second solution feels like something I would do, which inherently makes it so much cooler ;)

I love the font choice for it too… what is it? whathefont doesnt recognise it.

i like the first logo ,i think its more powerful visually,since the idea of these two logos base on the same logic,the more outstanding(visually) one definitely is better

i like most of your designs, David,and visit here very often,this time i cant help noticing that the name card u made for this jigsaw was a little bit weaker(my point of view), especially the white side,its kinda plain and not very well space arranged,of course the information was clearly conveyed,but not in a delicacy way i think.

looking forward to your idea.

In my opinion they need to decide on the concept they want for their business - and then only be tweaking that particular idea.

Thanks again for the insight, Amanda. That makes sense.

My terms and conditions have been fine honed over the years - all based on experience.

In the past they used to just say unlimited revisions and I found myself doing revisions to concepts they didn’t even end up with, which equaled a lot more revisions per project.

I think really when you show three concepts they should be able to decide which one they way without seeing revisions to it - after all revisions aren’t going to actually change the concept itself, just tweak it.

In my opinion they need to decide on the concept they want for their business - and then only be tweaking that particular idea.

Since I implemented this I’ve done far less revisions and clients are still just as happy with this system.

Certain it’s another blog topic isn’t it :)

As for your revisions, it was interesting to read how you state ‘unlimited revisions to the chosen design’. That’d certainly help. I wonder what other designers choose to do. Could make an interesting blog article.

Re: Unlimited Revisions
No it doesn’t suck up design time. I only offer unlimited revisions because I know full well they won’t be asking for many.

I carefully compile the brief, read it thoroughly and do my best to make sure they are presented with designs that they want - 90% of customers barely have any revisions at all - they usually pick a design and have a small tweak to colours or something else simple.

Then about 7 percent have a reasonable amount of revisions that don’t take up huge amounts of time, then there are about 3% run me through the mill with them.

For the small amount of people wanting lots and lots of revisions it’s worth it to be able to offer the attractive proposition to potential customers the price cannot rise on them mid project even if they have lots of revisions to their design.

Note it says that they can only have unlimited revisions to their ‘chosen’ design though, not to all designs presented to them. That keeps it in check also.

Nice insight. ;)

Call me either, I’ll probably still use kristarella for a while. :)
