Describe who/what this design is about

This was the winning logo from a recent contest. I am VERY HAPPY with the overall winning design idea. However, I have not been able to get the final design "tweaked", on my own, exactly to my liking. I am needing assistance with colors and fonts, as well as, just overall clean up of the project. I AM NOT LOOKING TO REINVENT THE DESIGN, I JUST WANT TO CLEAN IT UP AND PUT ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES!

I am a distributor of dental surgery products, my primary products are regenerative products (bone grafting materials) and disposable surgical devices. My products are used by oral surgeons, periodontists and general dentists and are essential in a dental implant surgical practice. These products are the ancillary items used along with dental implants. Implants are one of the more expensive products used in a practice and I want my logo to convey similar quality likeness to companies like --- Dentsply Implant Systems (Astra Tech), Nobel Biocare, Straumann, BioHorizons.

Lastly, my logo needs to represent me! I'm a 43 year old independent sales rep. I am confident, professional, hard working, and stay up to date with technology and advances in dentistry.

Thanks so much!!

What kind of design are you looking for?

Logo Type

How would you describe the effect in your logo:(Check all that apply)

Masculine
Modern
Cutting-edge
Sophisticated
Professional
High Tech

What colors would you like?

Blue, titanium/stainless steel (silver), black, white are the colors with which I'm most partial, as I believe these look more modern and "surgical" than oranges, greens, etc. Also, I think the titanium/stainless look is almost a must for a surgical device sales company. However, I will open it up to your creativity. Please note, I will also be using black and white versions as well. Please include these in your submissions.

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

This was the winning logo from a recent contest. I am VERY HAPPY with the overall winning design idea. However, I have not been able to get the final design "tweaked", on my own, exactly to my liking. I am needing assistance with colors and fonts, as well as, just overall clean up of the project. I AM NOT LOOKING TO REINVENT THE OVERALL DESIGN. I just want to clean it up and finish the project.

You will see two design elements - one has the tooth with Dental Surgery Solutions, LLC coming out of the tooth / puzzle pieces. I'm not a fan of script style font or fonts that have big loopy design. My idea for the title of the company to be all one solid word, with no spaces separating the words. I want the thickness of the font and font color changes to give the illusion of space.

Example - DentalSurgerySolutions, LLC.

Also, the LLC doesn't have to be at the end. It can be under the business name such as
(ex.) ------------ LLC --------, it can be smaller and turned upward, or other variations.

The second you will see is the logo of the puzzle/tooth with DSS on the puzzle piece highlighted. This will be monogrammed on to shirts and other things that need a "short" version of the logo. Again, just needing it cleaned up with good fonts, colors, etc.

Please do not hesitate to post comments or questions. I need this finished quickly so I can move on the business cards, stationary, social media designs.

Thanks so much for your effort and helping me complete such a crucial piece of my business!!!!!

Designers - Again, I greatly appreciate your efforts! I believe I have eliminated all but four designers. You all have made tremendous adjustments and have really blown me away! This is going to be an extremely difficult decision! I don't have anything to tell the group, other than great job! If you've got any creative "new" ideas that you would like to throw out, outside of all my briefing and guidelines, now is the time to do it! Otherwise, I'm going to keep looking over these remaining designs, that have not been eliminated, and make a decision as soon as possible. Since business cards, stationary, etc are the next step, if you want to show an example of what your design may look like on stationary or a monogram, please do. Who knows, it may be what throws yours over the top! I have a family gathering on Sunday and we will be going through the designs and I will pick a winner by Monday's deadline. Thanks so much! I truly appreciate all you all have done. Alan

Designers - Thank you all for your hard work! I appreciate everyone really attacking this project. I have seen some really good stuff! I have seen a couple of redundancies that I would like to address so you all don't waste more time on it. I don't know what it is called in the designer world, but I would like the font and tooth colors to look like they have some depth and movement in the color. I don't want it to have the "shiny" effect, but there is something you all do with the color that makes it appear multi-dimensional. I don't want flat or matte looking colors, but also don't want shiny streaks. Its really hard for me to explain. I have seen several examples in your portfolios that display this perfectly. Also, its been brought to my attention that the puzzle piece coming into the tooth looks like it is an addtional tooth root. You have my permission to adjust the tooth to eliminate that extra piece. Yet keep the same puzzle piece effect that appears to be being "solved". I'm sure you all have gotten the puzzle pieces suggest I have all the solutions my dentists need. Lastly, I asked for blue, silver/gray/titanium, black, and white colors. I want to reiterate that you can show more colors, if you think you have something that will WOW me. One thing my wife asked to see is a sky blue(Carolina blue) / navy blue mix in the title, along with the gray/silver/titanium/black/white hues. I think that is it for now. Great work! I have been overwhelmed by your response. There are two or three designers that have distanced themselves from the pack, either by pushing the limits of my guidelines, or by going strictly by the letter of my instructions. I like the creativity that has been displayed! Thanks so much! Alan
