baagje says :
Great, looks super! Colours are perfect, you did such a good job.
- No remarks at all about the front, it's great the way it is!
- I still have a remark for the back, but these are only small details, to make it even more perfect...
- when I print the card, I found the lettertype you used for the contact details en 'graag tot uw dienst' a bit hard to read, can you make it bold, that might make it easier.
- 24h emergency service is really small, I know you put it like that so it looks balanced with the number, unfortunately it will have to go bigger and bolder. Also, I would prefer you delete the brackets ( ).
- The shaded moose under ELIE, looks better if you move it a bit up and to the left (that is the way you did it in previous design) also, I can not really see it when I print the white card (or is it my printer), you can always go a shade darker.
Voila, now let's wait for brandsupply to answer my call so I can declare you a winner.
Thanks!

edited as requested...blue made darker..sample of the 43mm card will be tomorrow..it would take a little bit of time because i;ll be doing that in photoshop...please let me know if there are changes needed to be done.
-
baagje says :
Hi and good morning.
Elie had a look at the cards and absolutely loves it, good job!
We wanted to make a few adjustments.
- The text on the front "volt elektrische installaties" much bigger, maybe twice as big, let's use the space we have
- contact details and text 'graag tot uw dienst' also bigger
- we really liked how you put 'graag tot uw dienst' in italic (it means being at your service is our pleasure)
- next to the number 0483 42 34 28 is an envelope, can you change that into a phone please.
- can you add EMERGENCY to the second phone number like this ' 24h emergency service: 0484 27 44 40'
-really like how you used those symbols btw!
- in regards to the colour, Elie would prefer to go back to the very darkest blue you used in your previous designs. sorry about that, I guess we all have a different taste in terms of colour...
- don't put too much effort in the smaller size, just enough for us to have an idea how it would look like.
- I am waiting for Brandsupply, as the contest is still not closed (they were supposed to make it expire yesterday, today Sunday I can not reach them... sorry about that, guess you are also waiting...
Talk soon,
Aagje

Please let me know if I did the right thing. Thank you
-
baagje says :
Great! Thanks you are so quick.
Ok, the "VOLT elektrische installaties" on the back needs to be removed and go to the front of the card.
On the left side of the card (back side) I would like to see the name "ELIE" and on the background the shaded moose as you did in your last design (then you put it on the front of the card).
I will print once more to see the colours, and discuss the result with Elie.
Is it possible for us to have a look at one smaller format (so 43 mm wide) to have a idea how that would look like?
Thanks again

baagje says :
Just looked at a print. You did a really good job. I hope it is not my printer but this time the blue looks too light. Can you try one shade darker? Something like a nightblue or whatever it is called...
-
baagje says :

iCONQUER1020 says

baagje says :
Nice!Thank you so much, it looks great!
We had some issues with the computer, but we are back.
Now, here are my remarks...
Colour:
1. We just printed all your designs and realise that you were on the right track from the beginning; the first blue you used looked better, so can you put it back please.
2. according to the printing office all gold needs to be made out of CMYK, thus C:20, M:25, Y:60, K:25.
3. We will go for both backgrounds (depending on the print job), so as here on the left with blue background and white background, good job!
4. All gold text and image will be printed in gloss, more about that later.
Text and image
1. We would not put the shaded moose on the background of the front, but think its a great idea to have this on the back of the card, the moose in circle will get a gloss layer so it is important to keep it separate from the text.
2. Text for the back: Elie (big)
Elie: 0484 27 44 40 Aagje : 0483 42 34 28
Mail: elievolt@outlook.com
24h service: 0484 27 44 40
graag tot uw dienst!
3. And that is it, we will keep it simple that way so no lines or anything, just the moose on the background and the text as in number 2.
Before delivering:
1. As mentioned before, we would like logo and text both with a blue and a white background
2. The printing office is asking to make clear what needs to get a gloss layer, therefor we need a second file where all gloss (so gold on the front and shaded logo on the back) needs to be put in 100 precent black.
3. Same for the size of the card, one normal size, one file with sizes 85 mm on 43 mm (instead of 55mm). Not sure if it will look great in a smaller size, we will see. What is your opinion about the smaller measurements, after all you are the designer.
4. At this stage we don't have a website, this is something we have to put later, can we add that to your design afterwards ourselves?
5. we will also use your logo for a car sticker, will you make sure it can be enlarged (vector file).
Ok.... This is all new for us, I hope it is a bit clear, if any questions or suggestions, let us know.
We will not go to the printing office this week, so if we can finalise your design by Monday that would be absolutely perfect,
Thanks

Hi, I have some few questions before i'll show the edited proposal..
1. What is the designation of Elie (e.g. manager, president, CEO, etc)to be placed on the card?
2. "according to the printing office all gold needs to be made out of CMYK, thus C:20, M:25, Y:60, K:25."
--Are you sure of this color, because I don't see it as gold but more of a biege, maybe i am color blind? :)
3. "We will go for both backgrounds (depending on the print job), so as here on the left with blue background and white background."
-- Do you want two kinds of business cards, one with white front and back or one with white on front and blue at the back
3. " The printing office is asking to make clear what needs to get a gloss layer, therefor we need a second file where all gloss (so gold on the front and shaded logo on the back) needs to be put in 100 precent black."
--Please expound more of this. Do you want a separate file on black background? What do you mean by gloss? Do you want me to make it a gradient gold, or just remain on the given cmyk - C:20%, M:25%, Y:60%, K:25%
I'm sorry for this clarification..english is not my first language... -

Of course, I understand. It's funny you say so because yesterday I called the office of brandsupply as I can not figure out how to declare a winner, so stupid... till now I only spoke to their answering machine... I can ensure you that we will go ahead with your design. But no need to send the requested files prior to being declared the winner. -

Ok, let's see about the sizes then.
Will you please give your contact for any later editing?
And so curious to know where you are from?

Just got a call from brandsupply, I can not declare the winner because the contest wont expire till end of this month. They will now adjust it and make the contest expire by tomorrow 9 am (local time!).

1. What is the designation of Elie (e.g. manager, president, CEO, etc)to be placed on the card?
WE WILL NOT MENTION HIS DESIGNATION AS HE IS THE ONLY CONTACT PERSON. REGARDING TO THIS I WILL NEED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE TEXT: text for the back:

HAHA, THEY GAVE ME AN EXAMPLE AND THAT LOOKS FINE< SHOULD BE THE CORRECT NUMBERS..
3. "We will go for both backgrounds (depending on the print job), so as here on the left with blue background and white background."
-- Do you want two kinds of business cards, one with white front and back or one with white on front and blue at the back. TWO CARDS AND TWO LOGOS, AS YOU DID EARLIER ONE CARD ALL BLUE BACKGROUND (front and back), ONE CARD ALL WHITE BACKGROUND (front and back), SAME WITH LOGO (O WITH THE MOOSE), ONE LOGO GOLD MOOSE AND WHITE O, ONE LOGO GOLD MOOSE AND DARK BLUE O, IF YOU HAVE TIME TO DO A THIRD ONE, I ALSO LIKE ONE LOGO completely GOLD
3. " The printing office is asking to make clear what needs to get a gloss layer, therefor we need a second file where all gloss (so gold on the front and shaded logo on the back) needs to be put in 100 precent black."
--Please expound more of this. Do you want a separate file on black background? What do you mean by gloss? Do you want me to make it a gradient gold, or just remain on the given cmyk - C:20%, M:25%, Y:60%, K:25%.
AH YES, THEY WILL PUT A SHINY FILTER AFTER THE CARD HAS BEEN PRINTED, ITS CALLED GLOSS. JUST MAKE THE CARD AS USUAL, BUT ALSO MAKE ONE CARD WHERE THE GOLD (on the front) IS REPLACED BY 100 precent BLACK
AND THE SHADED MOOSE (on the back) IS REPLACED BY 100 precent BLACK. We will not print this second card with the black, but this way the office knows which parts need to be covered with the shiny layer.
Im sorry I find it hard to explain in words, so much easier if you were next to me and I could show you...
Anyway, if any question, just ask. I will keep a sharp eye on my message box. Good night! -
iCONQUER1020 says

here's a new look at the logo and a proposed business card as requested. Logo is slightly modified to be more detailed
-
baagje says :
Thank you! Front of card looks great, will decide on the right colour and get back to you asap. We do prefer the first moose, he looked younger, it was more simple and friendlier. Can you put him back please, we fell in love with him. Talk soon

edited as requested...preview for business card is included

baagje says :
Ok, thanks.
We would like to see one side of the business card either dark blue or white, with 'Volt' (inside the O you put the moose in a different colour than the O), underneath the text 'elektrische installaties'. Just play a bit around with the colours and we will give you feedback.
Can you further inform us about the back side. We will add a small text with the contact details, but we don't have a website yet, is it possible for us to add that later? Thanks -
baagje says :
Also, we kind of like the line you added to the back of the card, can you play around a bit with this idea? More info to follow, thank you.
-
baagje says :
We would like to start printing the cards next week, have you got time to finish them by then?
-
iCONQUER1020 says
yes..it depends on who and when you declare a winner... If you decide to go with my logo design proposal, i can immediately work on the business card

Ok nice one, your logo is our favourite so far. We will discuss this on Monday and I get back to you.
Thanks for all your effort,

baagje says :
Hi, can you look for another shade of dark blue, I still find it a bit too light. And would like to have a look at the blue with gold, rather then with the beige. Then, we would like to have a look at the possibilities for the card, we are thinking of choosing a dark background on one side, with the name and logo. The other side..not too sure about , it needs all the contact details but we are not sure about how to use the colours. Any suggestion?

baagje says :
Nice one, thanks! Very strong image.
At the moment we find it a great design for a adventure clothing brand. If the antlers would spark like electricity it would be clear its an electrical business. We would like to see the blue a bit darker and the subline to be bolder.
Thanks a lot for your design, we really like it,
