Hmmm....seems as though you asked for color, but have selected very monochromatic submissions. Not too worry, try these on for size.

Can you let me in as to what type of audience you are after? I would like to know if its adult (corporate or non) / family / or child entertainment. This info will help me get a better idea of your targeted needs.

Thx

Can you inform us a little bit about the target age group?

Anyways, here is my first attempt:

DRP - the logos look too 80's saturday night fever look.

mgraphic/WebDesigner555 - the target market is mainly adults attending things like a 40th birthday party, charity fund raising events of a smaller scale ie: max. 150 people at say a school fund raising night or clubs/organisations putting on some evening entertainment for their members to enjoy. It will also be sometimes offered as part of a larger entertainment package for large events like Christmas Balls with over 250 guests.

Children may be invited to the school fund raising night as the entertainment can be 'entertaining' for them as well. However at this stage it is not going to be offered to say a 10yrs old party (although I am sure they would have a laugh).

The entertainment is 'fun' and this end the actual entertainment will provide laughter, good humour and people chatting amongst themselves as to how 'funny' something was.

The word 'fun' is the important part of 'Fun Nights Inc'

Age group focus is: 25 - 65 however I like I have mentioned the actual entertainment will appeal to the children (>7 yrs).

Slickitysly - re-read my comments before making statements suggesting I am picking ones that don't fit in with what I originally said I am after. I am after something which actually looks professional - which with respect your first attempt clearly wasn't !!

Please see my original message and a follow up message as to what i am interested in.

ie:
please check out the links to other logos I like.
bright and bold which stands out in white and dark background - this does not mean multi-coloured !!
just use the wording 'Fun Nights Inc.' and leave out other objects.
it is to be the name for a 'fun' entertainment for parties, fund raising etc etc.

thanks
Sean

Are these any better? I made the shadow a bit darker to make the borders more visible, not sure if that did anything...

**Sean Smith** · 06-29-2006, 09:51 AM

Thanks Rakien - dropping the hooks makes the 'n' and 'h' more clearer. As for how it stands out - i would like the actual colour used to be a lot brighter/bolder. Can you change the different blue colours that are using ?!

Doesnt really look as good without the elipse:

So heres a revised version, just simple with no other objects:

Sure your pics match your original specs, though you have since refined your request, which is a good thing because it enables us to get it right. Not trying to complain, though I think you may have taken my comments the wrong way. My first submission may not have been great, but my second was within the refined parameters of your suggestions. In any case, what do you think of my third submission? I think it's getting there, though I suspect you might want it punched up with more colour. Please let me know...

**mgraphic** · 06-29-2006, 02:53 PM

I have two versions to post. The requested logo on white and black background as well as a wide and stacked version that might be useful for different media applications.

Thanks for the oppertunity.
